HB 1533 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

relative to the use of electric bicycles and alternative electric micromobility devices.

HB 1533 regulates electric bicycles and alternative electric micromobility devices (like e-scooters) by prohibiting their operation on sidewalks and restricting class 3 devices from bicycle paths. It requires annual registration, speedometers, headlights, and learner's permits for riders aged 16-18 operating class 3 devices. The bill also establishes penalties including device impoundment for violations and clarifies that non-compliant devices will be treated as off-highway recreational vehicles. These rules directly affect e-bike and micromobility users, particularly those operating higher-speed class 3 devices in public spaces.
