Brick Township adopts New Jersey's two-class e-bike system: Class 1 and Class 2 low-speed electric bicycles can use roadways and bike lanes, but riders over 14 are barred from every township sidewalk under § 288-77.

"class 1 low-speed electric bicycle," ... a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour; or "class 2 low-speed electric bicycle," ... a motor that may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle... No person over the age of 14 shall operate a low-speed electric bicycle upon a sidewalk within the Township of Brick, nor in any location prohibited by signage.

Full Breakdown

Brick Township Code § 288-76 defines two e-bike classes tracking N.J.S.A. 39:1-1: Class 1 (motor assists only while pedaling, cuts off at 20 mph) and Class 2 (motor can propel without pedaling, capped at 20 mph). Under § 288-77, both classes can ride on roadways but anyone over age 14 is prohibited from riding on any township sidewalk. Riders under 17 must wear a helmet, and e-bikes are barred from Township parks and beaches such as Windward Beach and Traders Cove, except during permitted special events. First violations draw a $50 fine, second $100, with mandatory court appearance starting on a third offense.

Violations & Fines

First offense: $50 fine. Second offense: $100 fine. Third or later offense requires a court appearance under § 288-77(I); riding on sidewalks past age 14 is a separate violation.
