HF 765 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the maximum power output for low-speed electric bicycles and pedestrian conveyances powered by an electric motor.

HF 765 updates the legal definitions for low-speed electric bicycles and pedestrian conveyances that use electric motors. Currently, these devices are defined as having electric motors that produce *less than* 750 watts of power. The bill amends this to specify that their electric motors must produce *not more than* 750 watts. This change clarifies that devices with motors producing exactly 750 watts will now be included under these classifications, rather than being subject to motor vehicle laws.
