Under House Bill 243, any e-bike capable of traveling more than 28 miles per hour or equipped with a motor of 750 watts or more would be reclassified as an "electric motorcycle."

That means those bikes would need to be registered, and riders would be required to have a driver's license — and stay off sidewalks and bike lanes.

The bill also takes aim at people who modify their e-bikes to make them faster than the manufacturer intended — a trend police say has become increasingly common.
