Electric bicycle classes and local authority

Florida defines three e-bike classes under 750 watts and generally gives them bicycle rights without motor-vehicle licensing or registration. Riders under 16 must wear helmets. A 2025 law authorizes local governments to regulate e-bikes on streets, sidewalks, paths, trails, and beaches, set minimum ages, and require photo identification.
