This year, the legislature advanced bills that strengthen a framework for safety, affordability, and health. These bills include updates to e-mobility definitions & regulations, a pilot project for summer streets, pedestrian infrastructure improvements, and more. You can find details in our website post: Bicycling Wins At The Capitol.

E%20bike%20cargo

Per Hawai‘i regulation, e-bikes are considered “bicycles” and can be ridden anywhere standard bikes are allowed - bicycle facilities such as bike lanes, protected bike lanes, & multi-use paths and on public roadways (excluding freeways) with or without bike infrastructure. As with traditional bikes, if riding on the sidewalk (outside of business districts) speed must be kept under 10 mph & rider must yield to pedestrians. Learn more here❯❯
