Virginia eBike laws
Virginia recognizes Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 electric power-assisted bicycles under Virginia Code §46.2-904.1. Class 1 and Class 2 assistance cuts off at 20 mph and Class 3 assistance cuts off at 28 mph. Every Class 3 bike must have a speedometer. Compliant eBikes receive bicycle rights and duties and do not require a driver license, registration, title, insurance, or license plate.
Every Class 3 operator and passenger must wear a compliant helmet. Localities and state agencies may restrict Class 1 or 2 on a path after notice and a hearing, may prohibit Class 3 on a path, and may regulate all classes on natural-surface nonmotorized trails. The three class definitions determine assisted speed and affect where each class may be ridden.
