Illinois defines electric bikes as electrical-assisted bicycles equipped with 750W motors. They are categorized into 3 classes based on speed and assistance.
While e-bikes are a growing trend allowing easier travel, they pose risks due to increased speeds compared to traditional bicycles. Safety is paramount.
Riders must be aware of the regulations governing e-bike use in Illinois as helmets are not required by law, though recommended for safety.
Ebike classes include Class 1 with pedal-assist up to 20mph, Class 2 which can propel without pedaling up to 20mph, and Class 3 with a higher speed of 28mph.
