New Jersey's new electric bicycle regulations are facing growing criticism as riders and businesses report difficulties complying

New Jersey's new electric bicycle regulations are facing growing criticism as riders and businesses report difficulties complying with licensing and registration requirements. The law requires riders to be at least 15 years old, hold an appropriate license, and register their e-bikes, while certain faster models also require insurance. Advocates say confusion surrounding the regulations has affected businesses and made it harder for residents to use electric bicycles. Lawmakers are considering changes that would exempt some slower e-bikes from certain requirements.
