Regulates certain electric bicycles.
This bill defines "electric motorized bicycle" as a two-wheeled vehicle with operable pedals, an electric motor over 750 watts, and a speed capability exceeding 28 mph. It would have regulated these vehicles under New Jersey's transportation laws by establishing clear technical specifications. The bill was introduced in the Senate on January 13, 2026, but was withdrawn the same day because the regulations were already enacted in prior legislation (P.L.2025, c.285). It directly affected owners and operators of electric bicycles meeting the defined specifications. The bill's content was procedural, as it merely codified existing regulatory language rather than creating new requirements.
