West Virginia eBike laws
West Virginia sorts eBikes into three classes under state law. A Class 1 eBike assists only while you pedal, and the assist ceases at 20 mph. A Class 2 eBike has a motor that may propel the bike on its own, such as with a throttle, and is not capable of assistance at 20 mph. A Class 3 eBike is pedal-assist only, with assist ceasing at 28 mph, and it must have a speedometer that shows speed in miles per hour.
You do not need a driver's license to ride an eBike in West Virginia. Under W. Va. Code §17C-11-8, an eBike owner or rider is not subject to the state's driver's license, registration, title or financial responsibility requirements. Anyone under 15 who rides or is a passenger on an eBike must wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet. Under HB 2062, a person under 16 may not operate a Class 3 eBike.
Your bike's class decides where you can ride. Class 1 and Class 2 eBikes have the same rights and duties as traditional bicycles on roads and trails open to those bicycles. A Class 3 eBike may not be operated on a bicycle path, multiuse trail or single-use trail unless it is within a highway or roadway, or the local authority or state agency in charge expressly permits it. Check local rules before you ride a specific path. For more, read our full West Virginia eBike law guide.
