Where you can ride

  • Ridden under bicycle rules (ride near the right edge; on sidewalks a rider has pedestrian rights but must yield). Cities may further regulate bicycles. The state and local bodies may permit, restrict or ban e-bikes on land they control; riding where prohibited is a Class III misdemeanor. [Neb. Rev. Stat. §60-6,317 and §60-678]

License / registration / insurance

  • Bicycles (including e-bikes) are excluded from the definition of motor vehicle, so no driver license or vehicle registration applies. Cities may require local bicycle registration. [Neb. Rev. Stat. §60-638 and §60-6,317(5)]
