Bill > A07000

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to include a class three bicycle with electric assist in the definition of a limited use motorcycle. Currently, the law defines limited use motorcycles based on their maximum performance speed, categorizing them into three classes (A, B, and C) ranging from 20 to 40 miles per hour. By adding a reference to a class three bicycle with electric assist, the bill effectively expands the legal definition of a limited use motorcycle to encompass this type of electric bicycle. A class three bicycle with electric assist is typically defined as an electric bicycle that provides pedal assistance up to 28 miles per hour and is equipped with a speedometer. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law, giving state agencies time to prepare for and implement the changes to the vehicle classification system. This modification could have implications for vehicle registration, licensing, and traffic regulations related to these types of electric bicycles.
