Do you need a license to ride an eBike in the US?

In most US states, no driver's license or vehicle registration is required for Class 1, 2, or 3 eBikes. A handful of states treat higher-speed or higher-power eBikes as mopeds, triggering licensing requirements. Age minimums apply in many states for Class 3 (typically 16+). Always verify your specific state law since regulations differ significantly and continue to evolve.
