Summary

Clark County Code § 14.04.091 defines Class 1, 2, and 3 electric bicycles by motor assist and top speed, and § 14.52.025 lets all three classes operate on roadways, sidewalks, bike paths, and county park trails, capped at 15 mph in parks unless posted otherwise.

City-specific rules exist: Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Las Vegas have their own e-bike classes rules that differ from Clark County's county-level regulations. If you live in one of those cities, check the city-specific page instead.

Unless otherwise designated and/or posted, an electric bicycle or an electric scooter may be operated: (i) On a roadway, sidewalk, or a lane, path, or route designated for bicycle, electric bicycle, or electric scooter use; (ii) In a county park, skatepark, bicycle park, or recreational facility; (iii) On a county park trail or pathway; or (iv) At any other non-designated location.

Full Breakdown

Under § 14.04.091, a Class 1 e-bike assists only while pedaling and cuts off at 20 mph, Class 2 has throttle assist up to 20 mph, and Class 3 assists while pedaling up to 28 mph. Section 14.52.025 does not split path access by class: any electric bicycle may use roadways, sidewalks, designated bike lanes and paths, county parks, skateparks, and park trails unless a specific location is posted otherwise. Riding in a county park is capped at 15 mph unless posted, though that cap doesn't apply to roadways, sidewalks, or trails not typical of a neighborhood park.

Violations & Fines

Civil penalties under § 14.52.025(F): $150 for a first violation, $300 for a second, $600 for subsequent violations. Parents or guardians are financially responsible for penalties incurred by a minor in their supervision.
