Bill forms work group to define e‑motorcycles and separate them from e‑bikes

Feb 26, 2026

SB 6110 would exclude devices that can travel over 20 mph without pedaling from the e‑bike definition and direct the Department of Licensing to convene a work group to recommend statutory definitions and regulatory steps for electric motorcycles by Dec. 15, 2027.

The full story

Jennifer Harris, committee staff, described SB 6110 as a two‑part approach: narrow the statutory definition of an electric assisted bicycle (excluding vehicles capable of exceeding 20 mph under motor power alone) and direct the Department of Licensing to convene a work group to study and recommend a statutory framework for electric motorcycles, including definitions, registration, age and licensing requirements, equipment and enforcement recommendations, consumer disclosures, and other regulatory options. The work group must report by Dec. 15, 2027.
