MOTORIZED BICYCLES


Nevada law does not define what a "motorized bicycle" is, but the term typically refers to electric bicycles and mopeds.



Both electric bike riders and moped drivers are required to stay on the right side of the road unless it would be unsafe to do so. Otherwise, Nevada’s laws are very different depending on whether you are on an electric bike or a moped. Here are four things to know:

1. Electric bikes should go no faster than 20 miles per hour. In contrast, mopeds should go no faster than 30 miles per hour. If your electric bike is going more than 20 miles per hour, traffic police will treat you as if you are driving a moped.

2. Protective headgear is not required for electric bike riders, but a helmet is required for moped riders.

3. Electric bicyclists do not need a driver’s license, but moped rides do need a standard class C driver’s license.

4. Electric bicyclists are not required to register their electric bikes with the DMV, but moped drivers are required to register their mopeds with the DMV.
