Wyoming Electric Bike Laws

Three-class law · State parks: Varies by park

Senate File 81 adopted the three-class system in 2019, effective July 1, 2019. An electric bicycle has operable pedals, a seat and a motor under 750 W, is not a motor vehicle, and needs no driver's license, registration, title or insurance. Wyoming sets no state minimum age or helmet rule for any class.
