E-Bike & Scooter Laws

🛴 Know the Law Before You Ride! 🚲

As the weather warms up, we're seeing more e-bikes and electric scooters throughout Lower Heidelberg Township.

Please take a moment to review the information in this flyer and help us keep our roads, sidewalks, and neighborhoods safe for everyone. 🤝

Electric Bike (E-Bike) Laws
Under Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) regulations, e-bikes are defined as "pedalcycles with electric assist" and are allowed on roads and designated bike lanes.
  • Requirements: E-bikes must have fully functional pedals, an electric motor of 750 watts or less, and a maximum motor-powered speed of 20 mph. The bike must also weigh less than 100 pounds.
  • Rider Rules: Operators must be 16 years or older. No driver’s license, title, registration, or insurance is required.
  • Regulations: Riders must follow all standard traffic laws and use lights from sunset to sunrise.
Electric Scooter Laws
Electric scooters (and similar stand-up devices) are currently not legal to operate on public streets, highways, or sidewalks anywhere in the Commonwealth. 
  • Where to ride: Legally, they can only be ridden on private property.
  • Why the restriction: PennDOT classifies them as motor-driven cycles. Because they lack necessary equipment like turn signals, mirrors, and factory inspections, they cannot be legally registered or titled for public road use.
