Texas eBike laws
Texas sorts eBikes into three classes. Class 1 bikes assist only while you pedal and cut off at 20 mph. Class 2 bikes add a throttle that can move the bike without pedaling, also capped at 20 mph. Class 3 bikes are pedal-assist only, with the motor helping up to 28 mph, and they must carry a speedometer. The rules sit in Texas Transportation Code chapter 551.
No license or registration is required for compliant Texas eBikes, and an eBike is not treated as a motor vehicle. In Texas, a Class 3 operator must be at least 15, while a younger person may ride as a passenger on a Class 3 designed for passengers. Texas has no statewide eBike helmet mandate, but local helmet ordinances and trail rules may apply, so check your city's rules before you ride.
Your bike's class matters for where you can ride, because Class 3 bikes are sometimes barred from multi-use paths that allow Class 1 and 2. Popular eBike rides include Lady Bird Lake in Austin, the San Antonio Mission Reach and Dallas's Katy Trail. For more detail, read our full Texas eBike law guide.
