"In Texas, an electric bicycle is generally defined as a bicycle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts, with a top assisted speed of 28 mph or less."
"Texas follows a three-class system for e-bikes: Class 1 and Class 2 models are often easier for casual city riding, while Class 3 models are better for faster commuting."
"Electric bikes are generally street legal in Texas if they meet the state's definition, but local governments and private property owners may impose their own access restrictions."
Texas law defines electric bicycles as having fully operable pedals, a motor under 750 watts, and a top assisted speed of 28 mph. E-bikes fitting this definition are treated like bicycles rather than motor vehicles. Texas employs a three-class system for e-bikes, with Class 1 and Class 2 suitable for casual riding, while Class 3 is better for commuting. Although generally street legal, local regulations may impose access restrictions in certain areas.
