E-Bike “Class System” Is a LIE (New Jersey Law Explains Why)

The E-Bike "Class System" is officially a lie, and the law just caught up. In one of his final acts in office, outgoing NJ Governor Phil Murphy signed S4834/A6235 into law on January 19, 2026, effectively ending the three-class system in New Jersey. If you ride an e-bike, you are now entering a world of mandatory licensing, registration, and insurance. As a mobile bike shop owner, I’m giving you the blunt truth on why this is happening. The industry has hidden behind "Class 1" labels while doubling motor torque to 120 Nm—and the legislators finally wised up. What you need to know about the 2026 New Jersey Law: Mandatory Registration: Every e-bike must now be registered with the NJMVC. Insurance Requirements: Liability insurance is mandatory (typically $15k/$30k/$5k limits). Licensing: Riders 17+ need a driver's license; 15-16 need a specific motorized bicycle permit/license. Compliance Window: 6-month grace period. Full enforcement starts July 19, 2026. Fee Waiver: Registration and licensing fees are waived for the first 12 months. I’m not an e-bike hater—they keep Swift Fix running—but we have to be honest about what these machines have become.
