Virginia eBike laws and route permission

Va. Code 46.2-100 defines an electric power-assisted bicycle as a vehicle on not more than three wheels, with pedals, a seat, and an electric motor with an input of no more than 750 watts. Class one assists only while the rider is pedaling and ceases at 20 miles per hour. Class two may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle and ceases at 20 miles per hour. Class three assists only while the rider is pedaling and ceases at 28 miles per hour.

Va. Code 46.2-904.1 gives an electric power-assisted bicycle the rights and duties of a bicycle. It is not subject to a driver's license, registration, certificate of title, or license plate. A permanent label must show the classification number, the top assisted speed, and the motor wattage. Every class three electric power-assisted bicycle must have a speedometer. The motor must disengage or cease to function when the rider stops pedaling or when the brakes are applied.

Va. Code 46.2-904.1 says each operator and passenger of a class three electric power-assisted bicycle shall wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet that meets Consumer Product Safety Commission or ASTM standards. These sections set no statewide minimum age to operate a class one, class two, or class three electric power-assisted bicycle.

Va. Code 46.2-906.1 lets a county, city, or town require a helmet for a person 14 years of age or younger on an electric power-assisted bicycle. That local option is not a statewide helmet rule for every class. A locality may prohibit class one or class two on a shared-use path after notice and a public hearing, and it may prohibit class three on that path. Trail access remains manager-specific.

Before leaving a Henrico County shop for a test ride, carry water, the bike key, a charged phone, and the route manager’s current notice.
