1. Except as otherwise provided in this section or by federal law, an electric bicycle may be ridden in places where bicycles are allowed, including, without limitation, streets, highways, roads, roadways, bicycle lanes, bicycle paths and shared-use paths.
2. A local authority, by ordinance, or a state agency, after notice and a hearing, may prohibit the operation of an electric bicycle or a class of electric bicycles on a bicycle path or shared-use path over which it has jurisdiction if the local authority or state agency finds that such a prohibition is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or comply with other laws or legal obligations.
3. The provisions of this section do not apply to a trail that is specifically designated as nonmotorized and that has a natural surface tread that is made by clearing and grading the native soil with no added surfacing materials, except for occasional hydrological controls, including, without limitation, bridges and pervious patching materials. A local authority or state agency having jurisdiction over such a trail may regulate the use of an electric bicycle on that trail.
4. As used in this section, “shared-use path” means a transportation circulation system that is physically separated from motor vehicle traffic, may be paved or unpaved and supports multiple recreational opportunities, such as walking, bicycling and inline skating.
