New e-bike safety laws in New Jersey take effect in July | What to know

New e-bike safety laws are set to go in effect in the Garden State next month.

Riders must be at least 15 years old to drive an e-bike in New Jersey.

They must also have a driver's license or an e-bike license.

The new laws take effect on July 19. That will also be when e-bikes need to be registered and, in some cases, insured.

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission will begin offering appointments to register e-bikes on Friday.
