The New Jersey Micromobility Guide serves as a resource for micromobility users across the state, collecting and summarizing the laws and safety best practices that can make riders safer. Micromobility, which includes e-bikes, e-scooters, and other low-speed devices, is an affordable, energy-efficient, eco-friendly alternative to driving. For short-distance travel, micromobility can replace car trips, thus lowering transportation costs and helping to reduce congestion and car parking demand on local streets. For longer trips, this guide clarifies if and how micromobility riders can bring their devices onto public transportation. By providing tips, answering common questions, and clarifying how different devices are regulated, this guide serves as a resource that promotes the safe and legal use of e-bikes, e-scooters, and other forms of micromobility throughout New Jersey.
