Beginning January 1, 2027, new statewide rules will establish additional age requirements for young riders and new requirements for higher-powered electric bikes and e-motos.

🚲⚡ Changes are coming for e-bike riders in Illinois.

Beginning January 1, 2027, new statewide rules will establish additional age requirements for young riders and new requirements for higher-powered electric bikes and e-motos.

Over the next few months, we’ll break down what riders—and especially parents—need to know before the new rules take effect.

🚲 Class 1? Class 2? Class 3? E-Moto?

They may look similar, but Illinois law doesn't treat them all the same.

Beginning January 1:
✅ Class 1 e-bike: No minimum age
✅ Class 2 e-bike: No minimum age
✅ Class 3 e-bike: Rider must be 16+
✅ Low Speed E-Scooter: Rider must be 18+

Traditional low-speed e-bikes remain bicycles under Illinois law. Higher-powered electric bikes that fall outside the low-speed e-bike definition may be regulated as motor-driven cycles, bringing additional licensing, registration, title and insurance requirements.

Before you ride, or buy, know what you're getting.
