An electric bicycle (e-bike) is a bicycle equipped with an electric motor that assists with pedaling or provides throttle power. California law classifies e-bikes into three categories based on speed and assist type.
E-Motorcycles are fully electric motor-powered vehicles designed for higher speeds without the need for pedaling.
E-Motorcycles can only be ridden on approved motorized trails and Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) recreation areas.
License Required: E-motorcycles are not generally street legal. Operation on a roadway requires a valid motorcycle license, registration from the California DMV, and insurance.
