Electric bicycle classes, age, helmets, and access
Virginia defines three e-bike classes up to 750 watts, treats them as bicycles, and exempts them from motor-vehicle licensing and registration. Class 1 and 2 paths may be locally restricted after a hearing; Class 3 may be barred. Riders under 14 may operate Class 3 only under immediate supervision of an adult 18 or older. Class 3 operators and passengers must wear helmets at any age.
