Quick Answer
Your bike is an e-bike in Wyoming if it is a bicycle or tricycle with "fully operable pedals," a seat and "an electric motor of less than seven hundred fifty (750) watts," in Class 1, 2 or 3 (W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv)). Then you need no license, registration, title or insurance (W.S. 31-5-707(a)), and state law sets no age or helmet rule.
Read the watt figure as written: "less than" puts a motor rated at exactly 750 watts outside the definition. State parks allow Class 1 only on their non-motorized trails, and if you ride in one of eleven towns, from Jackson to Moorcroft, its own rules apply too.
Shopping first? Of our 217 e-bike listings, 20 fit Wyoming's definition as the listings print them, and two more carry two motors the statute does not settle. The picks below come from that set, chosen for Wyoming's wind, gravel and long miles, from $599 for the Samebike CY20 Pro. Every one ships free to Wyoming.

How we verified this guide
Every state rule below was read in the Legislature's own compilation of Title 31 (the file published May 8, 2026, after the 2026 budget session), and the full text of all 43 titles of the Wyoming code was scanned for e-bike terms.
All 3,427 bills filed from 2019 through 2026 were opened and their full text scanned the same way, as were 181 current chapters of agency rules from State Parks, Game and Fish, State Lands, WYDOT and Tourism, and every rule quoted here was then read in full.
The local layer covers all 99 incorporated towns and cities. Each resolves to a code read in full, searched with a working control, or not published online, and every town rule we name was re-read at its source on September 28, 2026.
Figures for the bikes we sell come from our own listings, counted by listing (the Samebike CY20 Pro is listed twice, with solid and with spoked wheels), and each pick's price and stock were read at its maker's US store the same day.
Are e-bikes legal in Wyoming?
Yes. On public roads every class is legal, and you need no paperwork as long as the machine fits the state's definition. Two sections carry the load: W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) defines the electric bicycle, and W.S. 31-5-707 sets its rules.
Section 31-5-707(a) says the operator is subject to W.S. 31-5-702 and "is not subject to the provisions of this title relating to financial responsibility, driver's licenses, registration, certificates of title or off-road recreational vehicles." It closes with a sentence worth quoting in full: "An electric bicycle shall not be a motor vehicle."
Section 31-5-702 then hands you the road. "Every person propelling a vehicle by human power or riding a bicycle or electric bicycle has all of the rights and all of the duties applicable to the driver of any vehicle under this act." You ride in traffic, you signal and you stop, and a driver passing you owes you three feet under W.S. 31-5-203(c).
The whole page turns on one test. A motor rated under 750 watts, working pedals, a seat, two or three wheels, and a motor that quits at 20 mph (Class 1 or 2) or at 28 mph while you pedal (Class 3): that is an e-bike in Wyoming. Miss one limb and the machine becomes something the motor-vehicle code regulates, usually a moped.
What Wyoming counts as an electric bicycle
Every word of the definition is a limb a machine can fail. W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) reads: "'Electric bicycle' means a bicycle or tricycle equipped with fully operable pedals, a seat or saddle for the rider's use and an electric motor of less than seven hundred fifty (750) watts that meets the requirements of one (1) of the following three (3) classes."
The classes follow in the same paragraph. Class 1 "provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling" and stops at 20 mph; Class 2 "may be used to propel the bicycle without pedaling" and "is not capable of providing assistance" at 20 mph; Class 3 assists only while you pedal and stops at 28 mph. The traffic chapter borrows the same definition word for word in W.S. 31-5-102(a).
| Limb | What the statute says | What it means for a bike |
|---|---|---|
| Frame | "a bicycle or tricycle" | Two or three wheels; a four-wheeler is out |
| Pedals | "fully operable pedals" | Footpegs alone take a machine out |
| Seat | "a seat or saddle for the rider's use" | A stand-up scooter is out |
| Motor | "less than seven hundred fifty (750) watts" | 749 W is in; 750 W is out |
| Class | "meets the requirements of one (1) of the following three (3) classes" | A throttle past 20 mph fits none |
Less than 750 watts puts 750 outside
Wyoming wrote its ceiling exclusively. A motor "of less than seven hundred fifty (750) watts" can be rated at 749, and a motor rated at 750 is past it, as the definition is worded.
That one word moves more than a third of our shelf. Of our 217 e-bike listings, 76 are rated at exactly 750 watts, and every one of them sits outside Wyoming's definition on its rating alone. Idaho writes the same exclusive line, while Colorado, South Dakota and Utah write theirs inclusively, so the bike you ride as an e-bike one state south is a moped here.
Across all 217 listings, 37 are rated under 750 watts, 76 at exactly 750, 95 above it, and 9 print no rating.
Seventy-six listings rated at exactly 750 watts fall outside Wyoming's definition on the one word "less."
Rated or peak? The statute does not say
A listing may print two motor figures: the continuous rating and a short peak. The definition says "an electric motor of less than seven hundred fifty (750) watts" and stops, without saying rated, nominal, continuous or peak, and no Wyoming agency rule we read answers it.
Read as the rating, a motor sold as 500 W with an 800 W peak is a 500-watt motor, comfortably inside. Read as the peak, the same motor is past the line. We found no Wyoming court decision on the point, so it stays open both ways. If you want no argument at all, buy a bike whose maker prints no peak at or above 750; our picks say on each card which figures the maker prints.
Two wheels or three: trikes count
"A bicycle or tricycle" in W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) brings adult electric trikes inside the definition. If you ride a trike with pedals, a motor under 750 watts and a 20 mph limit, it is an e-bike in Wyoming, with the same rights on the road and the same freedom from registration.
That is not true in every state; Montana's definition, for one, requires "two tandem wheels." Four of the 20 listings on our shelf that fit Wyoming's definition are trikes.
One motor, or two
The definition speaks of "an electric motor" in the singular. A dual-motor bike with two 500-watt hubs has no single motor at 750 watts, yet the pair delivers more than 750.
Nothing in W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) says whether the limb counts each motor or the pair, and we found no Wyoming ruling on it. Two dual-motor bikes on our shelf fall into that gap, and our screen reports them as unsettled rather than inside. Your safe choice is a single motor rated under 750 watts.
The class is part of the definition
Wyoming's sentence does not stop at the watt figure. The motor must also be one "that meets the requirements of one (1) of the following three (3) classes" (W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv)), so the class is a limb, not a label.
That matters for throttle bikes. A throttle is a Class 2 feature, and Class 2 must stop assisting at 20 mph; a throttle bike that pushes past 20 fits no class and falls outside the definition however small its motor. Buy a bike its maker sells as Class 1, 2 or 3, and leave your speed setting where it ships.
Where Wyoming files an e-bike: a vehicle, not a bicycle
Wyoming's traffic chapter keeps the e-bike in a category of its own. A "bicycle" under W.S. 31-5-102(a)(iii) is "every vehicle propelled solely by human power," so an e-bike is not a bicycle there. It is a "vehicle" under (a)(lviii), which takes in "every device ... by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway."
It is also not a motor vehicle. The traffic chapter's definitions of moped, motorcycle, motor-driven cycle and motor vehicle each exclude the electric bicycle by name, and the title-wide definition of motor vehicle in W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xv) excepts "vehicles moved solely by human power, electric bicycles or motorized skateboards."
For you the practical result is this: rules written for "bicycles" do not reach your e-bike on their own words, rules written for "vehicles" do, and rules written for "motor vehicles" do not. Section 31-5-702 then gives you a driver's rights and duties across the traffic chapter. Keep that sorting in mind; the lights question and the sidewalk question below both turn on it.
The 2019 law, and the Class 3 rules the House struck
Wyoming's e-bike law is one act: Senate File 81 of 2019, sponsored by Senator Nethercott, signed on February 26, 2019 and in force from July 1, 2019, as chapter 95 of the session laws. It passed the Senate 18 to 12, the House 37 to 21 with two excused, and the Senate concurred 19 to 10, according to the Legislature's digest.
The bill that reached the House floor said a good deal more than the law does. Its engrossed text carried a Class 3 package: "No person under the age of sixteen (16) shall operate a class 3 electric bicycle"; no minor could ride one "unless the minor is wearing a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet"; and a Class 3 "shall be equipped with a speedometer."
The engrossed text also kept Class 3 bikes off bicycle and multi-use paths "unless it is within or adjacent to a highway or roadway."
On February 14, 2019, the House adopted amendment H2001 from Representative Lindholm. It reads, in the shorthand of the Legislature's digest: "Page 3-lines 10 through 22 Delete entirely ... Page 4-lines 11 through 23 Delete entirely. Page 5-lines 1 through 7 Delete entirely." Those lines were the path rules and the whole Class 3 package.
The same amendment widened the local trail power from "designated nonmotorized trails" to "trails, including nonmotorized trails," which is the wording of W.S. 31-5-707(f) today.
So the age rule, the Class 3 helmet, the speedometer and the Class 3 path limit are not Wyoming law and never were. They appear on many summary pages because the bill once contained them, and because other states' laws do.
| Clause in the House floor version | Status |
|---|---|
| Under 16 may not operate a Class 3 | Struck by H2001, February 14, 2019 |
| Minors on a Class 3 wear a CPSC or ASTM helmet | Struck by H2001 |
| Class 3 carries a speedometer | Struck by H2001 |
| Class 3 kept off bicycle and multi-use paths unless beside a road | Struck by H2001 |
| Class 1 and 2 on paths where bicycles are allowed | Struck by H2001 |
| Local authorities and state agencies may regulate e-bikes on trails | Kept, widened to "trails, including nonmotorized trails" |
Since then the rules have not moved. We opened all 3,427 bills filed in Wyoming from 2019 through 2026, including special sessions, and scanned the full text of each for e-bike terms. Five mention an electric bicycle: the 2019 act itself, two off-road-vehicle acts of 2020 and 2021 that reprint the definitions around it, and two bills that died. None changed a rule you meet as a rider.
What your bike becomes past the line
If your machine falls outside the definition, it does not escape regulation; it lands in another category of the traffic chapter, with its own license, registration and insurance rules.
W.S. 31-5-102(a)(xxi) defines a moped as "a motor-driven cycle both with foot pedals to permit muscular propulsion by human power and with a motor which produces no more than two (2) brake horsepower and which is capable of propelling the vehicle at a maximum speed of no more than thirty (30) miles per hour on a level road surface." It adds: "'Moped' does not include an electric bicycle."
Two brake horsepower is about 1,491 watts. So a pedal bike rated at 750 watts, or 1,000, or 1,200, with a top speed of 30 mph or less, reads as a moped on its published numbers. Of our 217 listings, 92 land there. Above two horsepower the machine is a motor-driven cycle, a class of motorcycle, and above five horsepower (about 3,729 watts) a motorcycle outright, under (a)(xxii) and (a)(xxiii).
| What the machine is | Registration | License | Insurance | Helmet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electric bicycle (inside the definition) | None (§ 31-5-707(a)) | None | None | No state rule |
| Moped (pedals, 2 hp or less, 30 mph or less) | Exempt: "Mopeds" (§ 31-2-224(a)(viii)) | Any class of driver's license (§ 31-7-109(f)) | Not required: the duty covers vehicles "required to be registered" (§ 31-4-103(a)) | None: the minor-helmet rule excludes moped riders (§ 31-5-115(o)) |
| Motor-driven cycle or motorcycle | Required (§ 31-2-201) | Class "M" for motorcycles (§ 31-7-109(d)) | Required (§ 31-4-103(a)) | Riders under 18 (§ 31-5-115(o), (s)) |
Two brake horsepower is the moped's ceiling and five the motor-driven cycle's, each converted to watts.
One question stays open. The registration chapter defines a moped in W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xv)(C) in terms of an engine's "cylinder capacity," with no electric motor anywhere in it, and it counts "motorized bicycles" as motorcycles for titling and registration. Whether a 1,000-watt electric pedal bike is a registration-exempt moped or a motorcycle that must be registered is not settled by the words, and we found no Wyoming ruling on it.
The advice that holds either way: if you ride a machine over the e-bike line, carry a driver's license, and ask your county treasurer before you ride it on a public road. The simpler route is a bike rated under 750 watts.
Stay inside the line. Our six picks are rated under 750 watts on their makers' own figures, from the $599 Samebike CY20 Pro to the $2,499 Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0, and shipping to you in Wyoming is free.
See the six under 750 wattsLicense, registration and insurance
None of the three, if your bike fits the definition. W.S. 31-5-707(a) says the operator "is not subject to the provisions of this title relating to financial responsibility, driver's licenses, registration, certificates of title," and "An electric bicycle shall not be a motor vehicle."
Two local rules sit on top of that. W.S. 31-5-109(a)(vii) lets a town regulate "the operation of bicycles and electric bicycles" and require their "registration and licensing," fee included.
Jackson uses that power: every e-bike ridden in town must be inspected and carry a Police Department permit within 30 days of purchase, as the Jackson section below explains. Glenrock's code still requires a registration decal on bicycles, which it defines as human-powered (§§ 6.01.010, 6.03.010), so the rule does not reach an e-bike on its own words.
Helmets and age
Wyoming state law sets neither, for you or for your children. The word "helmet" appears in the whole Wyoming code only three times, in W.S. 31-5-124 on off-road vehicles and in two equipment sections on helmet sales and standards, and none of the three is about bicycles or e-bikes. The Class 3 helmet and age rules in the 2019 bill were struck before it passed, as the section above shows.
Your town can set its own, and four towns do:
| Town | Rule | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Torrington | Under 16, a DOT or CPSC helmet on any e-bike, on streets and sidewalks | Mun. Code ch. 10.36 (Ord. 1301, Dec. 2, 2025) |
| Powell | Any minor riding a Class 3 | Ord. No. 5, 2026, § 10.24.040(E) |
| Worland | Any minor riding a Class 3 | Ord. No. 888, § 5-5(D), in force Aug. 15, 2026 |
| Jackson | Under 18 (a "minor" under W.S. 14-1-101(a)), through the motorcycle rules the town applies to e-bike riders | § 10.13.030(B) with W.S. 31-5-115(o), (s) |
Jackson's rule works by reference. The town code makes every e-bike rider "subject to all provisions of the laws of the state applicable to drivers of motor-driven cycles," and one of those provisions, W.S. 31-5-115(o), bars a minor from riding "unless he is wearing protective headgear," with (s) extending the section to motor-driven cycles.
Lander's draft Ordinance 2026-2 adds an under-16 helmet rule; it had not passed its third reading by September 28, 2026.
Whatever your town says, a parent carries one duty statewide. W.S. 31-5-701(b) says a parent "shall not authorize or knowingly permit the child or ward to violate any provision of this act."
Labels, unlock menus and tampering
Since January 1, 2020, W.S. 31-5-707(b) has required every maker or distributor to fix a permanent label showing the bike's class, its top assisted speed and its motor wattage, printed in at least nine-point type. Subsection (c) then binds the owner: "A person shall not modify an electric bicycle to change the motor-powered speed capability or motor engagement of the electric bicycle, unless the person replaces the label."
Two more subsections of W.S. 31-5-707 finish the job. The bike must meet the federal bicycle standard in 16 C.F.R. part 1512 under (d), and under (e) it "shall operate according to class so that when the rider stops pedaling, applies the brakes or the electric motor is disengaged, the electric motor assist ceases to function."
An unlock menu is where this bites. If your bike ships limited to 20 mph and can be raised to 28 from its display, it is a Class 1 or 2 as delivered; raise it and, unless the label changes to match, you have broken subsection (c). Raise a throttle past 20 mph and the bike fits no class at all.
Jackson goes further: a bike tampered with after manufacture "shall no longer be considered" an e-bike there, under § 10.13.140.
Lights, brakes and equipment
Here state law is genuinely unsettled, and the honest answer we can give you comes in two readings. The night-lamp rule, W.S. 31-5-706(a), requires "every bicycle" in use at night to carry a white front lamp visible 500 feet and a red rear reflector visible 600 feet.
But a "bicycle" under W.S. 31-5-102(a)(iii) is propelled "solely by human power," W.S. 31-5-707(a) names only § 31-5-702 as applying to e-bike riders, and W.S. 31-5-901(c) exempts electric bicycles from the equipment sections "except as specifically made applicable."
Read one way, no state statute requires lights on an e-bike. Read the other, § 31-5-702's grant of "all of the duties applicable to the driver of any vehicle" pulls the bicycle equipment rules along. We found no Wyoming ruling on it. Ride with the lights either way: a white front lamp and a red rear light cost you little, and eight towns require them by name.
| Town | Night lighting rule |
|---|---|
| Jackson | White front lamp visible 300 ft; red rear reflector or lamp 300 ft (§ 10.13.130) |
| Laramie | White front lamp 500 ft; red rear reflector 50 to 300 ft (§ 10.32.120) |
| Mills | White headlight 500 ft; red reflector 50 to 300 ft (§ 10.64.080) |
| Lovell | White front lamp visible 500 ft; red rear light 600 ft (§ 15-07-040) |
| Powell | White front lamp and red tail light, each 500 ft (Ord. No. 5, 2026) |
| Worland | White front lamp 500 ft; red rear reflector 600 ft (Ord. No. 888, § 5-5) |
| Casper | Headlight or headlamp "fifteen minutes before dusk, and fifteen minutes after dawn," and whenever safe operation needs one (§ 10.64.190(A)(1)(d)) |
| Torrington | Forward-facing white light and rearward-facing red light, sunset to sunrise (ch. 10.36) |
Brakes are the one equipment question state law settles for your e-bike by name. W.S. 31-5-707(d) requires every e-bike to meet the federal bicycle standard in 16 C.F.R. part 1512, whose § 1512.5(a) reads: "Bicycles shall be equipped with front- and rear-wheel brakes or rear-wheel brakes only." Subsection (e) of the Wyoming section adds the cut-off: the assist must stop when the rider "applies the brakes."
Where you may ride
On a public road every class rides with a driver's rights and duties under W.S. 31-5-702. Off the road, whoever owns the ground decides. W.S. 31-5-707(f) lets "a local authority or state agency with jurisdiction" regulate "any class of electric bicycles on trails, including nonmotorized trails," and a local authority is "every county, municipal and other local board or body" that makes traffic law, under W.S. 31-5-102(a)(xix).
| Where you ride | Who writes the e-bike rule | The rule on September 28, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Streets and highways | The Legislature | Every class, with a driver's rights and duties (§ 31-5-702) |
| Sidewalks | The Legislature, then each town | No vehicle driven "other than by human power" (§ 31-5-120), with town rules on top |
| Town paths and trails | Each town | Differs town by town (town codes) |
| Teton County pathways | Teton County | All three classes, except the North 89 pathway along the Elk Refuge (Title 8) |
| State parks and historic sites | Wyoming State Parks | Class 1 on non-motorized trails; Class 2 and 3 only on routes open to motor vehicles (ch. 1) |
| Game and Fish lands | Game and Fish Commission | Listed as a motor vehicle: designated or established roads only (ch. 23) |
| National parks | Each park's superintendent | Park by park (federal land) |
| National forests | The Forest Service | A motor vehicle: only the routes its map opens to motor vehicles (36 C.F.R. § 261.13) |
| BLM land | The BLM field office | An off-road vehicle unless an officer decides otherwise (43 C.F.R. § 8340.0-5(a)(5)) |
On the road
Ride on the right. The bicycle rule, W.S. 31-5-704(a), says "as near to the right side of the roadway as practicable," and the rule for any vehicle slower than traffic, W.S. 31-5-201(b), says "as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway," except when passing or turning left.
Both put you in the same place, so on the road it never matters which one reaches an e-bike.
Drivers owe you room. W.S. 31-5-203(c) names the electric bicycle and requires a driver passing one to keep "at least a three (3) foot separation," mirrors included, "when space allows." W.S. 31-5-119 forbids anyone riding "any bicycle, electric bicycle" to attach it or himself to a vehicle on a roadway, and lets you tow a trailer "designed for the attachment."
Two more bicycle rules cost nothing to keep on an e-bike. Ride no more than two abreast, never so as to "impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic" (W.S. 31-5-704(b)), and keep "at least one (1) hand upon the handle bars at all times" (W.S. 31-5-705).
No statute in the 43 titles of the Wyoming code keeps a bicycle or an e-bike off an interstate.
W.S. 31-5-213 lets WYDOT by rule, and a town by ordinance, close a controlled-access highway to traffic "found to be incompatible with the normal and safe movement of traffic," with signs posted, and none of WYDOT's 51 current rule chapters does so for bicycles or e-bikes. Where such a sign stands at a ramp, it binds you.
Sidewalks
The state's sidewalk rule is one sentence, W.S. 31-5-120: "No person shall drive any vehicle except motorized wheelchairs other than by human power upon a sidewalk or sidewalk area except upon a permanent or duly authorized temporary driveway." An e-bike is a vehicle in Wyoming, so the question is whether riding one is driving it "other than by human power."
On throttle it plainly is, because the motor alone moves the bike. Under pedal assist you and the motor move it together, the sentence does not say which side of the line that falls on, and we found no Wyoming court decision on it. Our reading, which is not a ruling: keep the motor off the sidewalk, and let your town's code decide the rest.
Eight towns write sidewalk rules that reach an e-bike by name or by definition:
| Town | Sidewalk rule |
|---|---|
| Jackson | "No person shall operate or ride an Electric Bicycle upon any sidewalk within the Town of Jackson" (§ 10.13.090) |
| Torrington | "Riding a Class 2 or Class 3 electric bicycle, or powered scooter on any sidewalk is prohibited"; a Class 1 rider there must yield to pedestrians (ch. 10.36) |
| Laramie | Only where "the sidewalk is part of a designated and marked path for devices" (§ 10.32.110) |
| Casper | Only beside a road posted at 30 mph or more, at no more than 10 mph (§ 10.64.190(A)(1)(f)), and never on downtown sidewalks (§ 10.64.110) |
| Moorcroft | Never "within the business section of the Town," on pain of impoundment for up to 30 days (Title 5) |
| Powell | Never on Bent Street, sidewalk or street, between 1st and 3rd Streets from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays (Ord. No. 8, 2026) |
| Lovell | Never on Main Street sidewalks between Idaho and Pennsylvania Avenues, or where signs or a dismount zone forbid it (§ 15-07-060) |
| Mills | Allowed outside the business district, yielding to pedestrians (§ 10.64.090) |
Five more towns keep motorized or "other wheeled" vehicles off sidewalks in words wide enough to catch an e-bike, though none names one: Pinedale (§ 395-1), Greybull (§ 10.04.090), Wright (§ 6-4-2), Pine Haven (§ 26-2) and Thermopolis (§ 11-625).
Treat each as reaching you. Other towns keep bicycles off sidewalks in rules that never name the e-bike, among them Cheyenne downtown (§ 10.80.060) and Riverton everywhere (§ 10.32.020); the town-by-town section lists more.
Paths and trails
No state statute says where an e-bike may use a path. The 2019 bill did: its House floor version opened with "An electric bicycle may be operated where bicycles are permitted to travel" and let Class 1 and 2 use "bicycle or multi-use paths where bicycles are allowed," and amendment H2001 struck both, as the 2019 section shows. What survived is the owner's power in W.S. 31-5-707(f).
That subsection defines a "nonmotorized trail" as "a trail with a natural surface made by clearing and grading the native soil with no added surfacing materials," so a dirt singletrack is squarely within an owner's power to open or close. Where the owner has written nothing, the City of Casper reads the silence as a yes: "By state statute, e-bicycles are allowed on all non-motorized pathways in Casper," its trails page says.
Wyoming State Parks: Class 1 on the trails
Wyoming State Parks & Historic Sites wrote e-bikes into its rules this year. Chapter 1, in force since August 5, 2026, says in § 17(h): "Class 1 electric bicycles are allowed on designated non-motorized trails. Class 2 and 3 electric bicycles are prohibited on all non-motorized trails." The chapter it replaced, in force from November 16, 2021, never mentioned an electric bicycle.
Section 20(a) files Class 2 and 3 with the motor vehicles: "No person shall operate a motorized vehicle except on such roads, trails, beaches, or areas designated for such use. This includes, but is not limited to motor vehicles, class 2 and 3 electric bikes, snowmobiles..."
In a state park, on a throttle bike or a 28 mph bike you keep to the roads and the routes posted for motor vehicles, and on a Class 1 you may also take the trails posted as non-motorized (§ 17(h)).
The class that counts is the one the bike was built and labeled as under W.S. 31-5-707(b), and changing how the motor engages without replacing that label breaks subsection (c). A throttle makes a bike Class 2 by the statute's own words, and 19 of the 20 listings on our shelf inside Wyoming's line print one.
Class 1 on park trails; Class 2 and 3 on the park's motorized routes. If state park singletrack is the riding you want, buy a bike its maker sells as Class 1, and ask us before you order.
Game and Fish lands: an e-bike is a motor vehicle there
The Game and Fish Commission counts your e-bike as a motor vehicle on the land it owns or manages. Chapter 23 of its rules defines "Motor vehicle" as "any motor vehicle as defined in Wyoming Statute Title 31-1-101 (a)(xv) including but not limited to a motor home, motorcycle, passenger car, truck, electric bike, off-road recreational vehicle and multipurpose vehicle" (§ 3(n)).
Section 5(a)(iii) then says "No person shall drive a motor vehicle" there "except on designated or established roads."
The rule covers "all lands and waters acquired or administered by the Commission, including lands and waters enrolled in the Department's Access Yes Program," the walk-in and hunter-management lands the department opens by agreement, and it has been in force since May 15, 2024.
It also pulls against itself: the statute it borrows, W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xv), excepts electric bicycles from "motor vehicle," and the rule then names the electric bike on its list. Follow the list: on Commission land, keep your e-bike to the roads.
On Access Yes land you also follow the landowner's terms. Section 5(b) says "Only the landowner or representative thereof may grant permission for any uses not expressly allowed on the Department's Access Yes webpages."
Federal land: Yellowstone, Grand Teton, the forests and the BLM
Nearly half of Wyoming is federal land: 29,710,191 of the state's 62,343,040 acres, or 47.7%, in the Congressional Research Service's count updated September 14, 2026. The BLM manages 18,049,385 of those acres, the Forest Service 9,226,016 and the Park Service 2,345,726 (Table 2). Each agency sets its own e-bike rule on its own ground, so where you ride decides which rule binds you.
National parks and monuments
The Park Service's regulation, 36 C.F.R. § 1.4, defines an electric bicycle with "an electric motor of not more than 750 watts," and § 4.30(i) leaves each superintendent to designate where e-bikes may ride. Three units below write "less than 750 watts (1 h.p.)" into their compendiums, Wyoming's exclusive line, and all three adopt state law. Rated at 750 watts, your bike would be inside the regulation's words and outside theirs.
| Park | E-bike rule, read September 28, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Yellowstone | Summary: "e-bikes are permitted on established public roads, parking areas, and designated routes in Yellowstone National Park in the summer." Regulations: "e-bikes (class 1 and 3) ... when open to motor vehicles during the summer season." No bike of any kind on "backcountry trails, boardwalks, and oversnow routes" (park page, updated April 21, 2026) |
| Grand Teton and the Rockefeller Parkway | "E-bikes are allowed ... where traditional bicycles are allowed, including the multi-use pathways," and barred where bicycles are barred, including Teton Park Road, Moose-Wilson Road and Signal Mountain Summit Road when they convert to winter oversnow access (compendium, June 23, 2026) |
| Devils Tower | "less than 750 watts (1 h.p.)"; allowed where traditional bicycles are allowed; motor-only riding barred except where motor vehicles may go (compendium, April 27, 2026) |
| Fort Laramie | The same definition and rule, with routes closed to all bikes, including the Historic Buildings Area and the Confluence Trail (compendium, June 10, 2026) |
| Fossil Butte | "Class 1 and Class 2 electric bicycles are allowed" on "Park roads and parking areas"; Class 3 is not (compendium, January 9, 2026) |
| Bighorn Canyon, Wyoming and Montana | "permitted on park roads and in parking areas that are otherwise open for motor vehicle use by the public"; "less than 750 watts (1 h.p.)" (compendium, revised May 1, 2026) |
Yellowstone's park page says two things. Its summary names no class and, in spring and fall, permits riding "on roads closed to regular vehicles while weather conditions allow," while its regulations name only "class 1 and 3" and only roads open to motor vehicles in summer. We read the regulations as the rule, so if you ride a Class 2, or plan a spring or fall ride on a closed road, ask the park before you go.
The Park Service's proposed Bicycle Use in Park Areas rule of September 1, 2026 would provide that "The use of bicycles and electric bicycles is allowed on park roads and in parking areas that are otherwise open for motor vehicle use by the general public," and would keep the ban on "Possessing a bicycle or an electric bicycle in a wilderness area established by Federal statute."
Comments on Bicycle Use in Park Areas close November 2, 2026; until a final rule, each park's designation governs.
National forests
On a national forest your e-bike is a motor vehicle, whatever its class. The Forest Service defines a motor vehicle as "Any vehicle which is self-propelled," excepting only rail vehicles and certain wheelchairs (36 C.F.R. § 212.1), and where a forest has published its motor vehicle use map, "it is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle" except as the map allows (§ 261.13).
The Bridger-Teton says it plainly on its biking page: "E-bikes are allowed only on trails and roads marked for motorized use." The same page names Cache Creek and Teton Pass as non-motorized trails that are "just for regular bikes." A proposal to open trails around Teton Pass to Class 1 (project 64890) reads "Current Status: On Hold" on a page last updated November 25, 2025.
Wilderness is closed to every bicycle, powered or not: 36 C.F.R. § 261.18(b) bars "Possessing or using a hang glider or bicycle" in national forest wilderness.
A national change is under study. The Forest Service's notice of August 24, 2026 describes an action that "would exempt class 1 electric bicycles from the motor vehicle use designation requirement," on trails where bicycles are allowed, and an alternative "retaining class 1 e-bikes as motor vehicles"; comments closed September 23, 2026, and no rule text had been published by September 28.
BLM land and wildlife refuges
The BLM starts from the other end. An e-bike counts as an off-road vehicle on BLM land unless, among other conditions, an authorized officer "has expressly determined, as part of a land-use planning or implementation-level decision, that e-bikes should be treated the same as non-motorized bicycles" (43 C.F.R. § 8340.0-5(a)(5)); where one has, § 8342.2(d) gives the rider a bicycle rider's rights.
We found no such decision for any Wyoming trail. The BLM's own site finder lists no Wyoming place for Class 1 e-biking, while the same search for Utah returns one, and none of the 21 BLM documents in the Federal Register that mention electric bicycles concerns Wyoming. On BLM land here, take your e-bike only where off-road vehicles may go.
National wildlife refuges keep every vehicle to designated routes, and an e-bike rider gets a cyclist's standing only where "the refuge manager determines that electric bicycle (also known as e-bike) use is a compatible use" (50 C.F.R. § 27.31(m)).
Teton County's pathways and Jackson's permit
Teton County wrote e-bike rules for its pathways before the state did. Title 8, adopted December 4, 2018 and in force January 1, 2019, allows "a class 1, class 2 and class 3 electric bicycle" on "all pathways owned and maintained by Teton County in the unincorporated areas of Teton County, with the exception of the North 89 Hwy. Pathway along the Elk Refuge" (§ 8-2-1).
The county's definition in § 8-1-1, like the state's, stops at "less than 750 watts."
One difference matters for trike owners. The county defines an electric bicycle as "a bicycle," where the state writes "a bicycle or tricycle," so Title 8 does not settle whether an electric trike may use the county pathways; ask Teton County before you ride one there. Enforcement is gentle at first: "a warning for the first two offenses," and on the third within six months, "a No Trespass Order" from every county pathway for six months (§ 8-5-1).
Jackson
Jackson's chapter 10.13 allows all three classes "on Town of Jackson public streets, bike lanes, pathways, and alleys" (§ 10.13.020). Of the 58 town codes we read, it alone requires an inspection and a permit.
Within 30 days of purchase, "whether purchased new or used," you present the bike to the Jackson police with "a completed notarized attestation of the owner, made under oath, stating the classification, top assisted speed, that the speedometer functions, and motor wattage" (§ 10.13.040).
The police then affix a permit showing the class, top assisted speed and wattage, and until it is on, you carry proof of the purchase date. The permit stays with that bike; moving it to another is unlawful under § 10.13.140(E). Visitors riding a rental should ask the rental shop whether its fleet carries town permits.
The rest of the Jackson list:
- A working speedometer "at all times it is operated within the Town of Jackson," plus a white front lamp and a red rear reflector, each visible 300 feet, from half an hour after sunset (§ 10.13.130).
- No e-bike on any sidewalk in town (§ 10.13.090).
- The state's motor-driven-cycle rules for every rider, which carry the helmet rule for anyone under 18 (§ 10.13.030(B); see helmets).
- Pathway speed limits "established by the Town and indicated and posted on appropriate signs" (§ 12.32.030).
- A bike whose wattage, speedometer or any other element "that affects its classification is modified or tampered with after manufacture" is no longer an e-bike in town and may not be ridden there (§ 10.13.140).
Buying for Jackson? Plan a stop at the police station. Within 30 days of purchase the bike needs an inspection and a town permit, and it must keep a working speedometer for as long as you ride it in town.
99 towns: what the local codes add
Wyoming has 99 incorporated towns and cities, home to 403,303 people, or 68.6% of the state's 587,618 in the Census Bureau population estimates for 2024. We accounted for all 99: each code was read in full, searched with a control that proved the search worked, or found not to be published online. A town with several rules sits in the row of its strongest one.
| What the town's code does about e-bikes | Towns | People | Share of town population |
|---|---|---|---|
| Names e-bikes and writes rules for them | 11 | 195,671 | 48.5% |
| Has a rule wide enough to reach one without naming it | 9 | 32,193 | 8.0% |
| Bans "motorized" vehicles somewhere, without saying whether an e-bike is one | 12 | 56,432 | 14.0% |
| Regulates bicycles only | 14 | 95,037 | 23.6% |
| Code read, no rule for bicycles or e-bikes | 12 | 11,552 | 2.9% |
| No code we could read online | 41 | 12,418 | 3.1% |
| All incorporated towns and cities | 99 | 403,303 | 100% |
Forty-one small towns publish no code online; together they hold 3.1% of the people who live in Wyoming's towns.
The eleven towns that name the e-bike
| Town | What its code adds | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Cheyenne | A fleet license, "two hundred dollars ($200.00) per year," for companies renting shared e-bikes and scooters; on the Greenway, "Both e-bikes and e-scooters are allowed ... and must observe the 15 mph speed limit" | § 5.08.155; city notice, May 30, 2025 |
| Casper | "'Bicycles' include e-cycles"; the sidewalk limits above; a headlight; no passenger unless the bike is built for one | §§ 10.64.010, .110, .190 |
| Laramie | A chapter for "devices" defining the e-bike at "not exceeding seven hundred fifty watts"; sidewalks only on marked paths; lamp, reflector and brake; dismount at crosswalks where signed | ch. 10.32 (Ord. No. 1815, Nov. 1, 2022) |
| Jackson | Inspection, permit, speedometer and no sidewalks (details) | ch. 10.13 |
| Pinedale | Class 1 and 2 "where bicycles are permitted"; "Class 3 electric bicycles shall not be operated on Town pathways unless" the path runs beside a road or the Council designates it | § 440-29 (Ord. No. 742, Aug. 10, 2026) |
| Torrington | Class 2 and 3 off every sidewalk and the Torrington Walking Path; helmets under 16; lights | ch. 10.36 (Ord. 1301, Dec. 2, 2025) |
| Powell | A 2026 rewrite: the e-bike at "not exceeding seven hundred fifty watts"; lights; helmets for minors on a Class 3; Bent Street closed on weekday business hours; fines up to $750 | Ords. No. 2, 5, 8 and 9 of 2026 |
| Worland | A 2026 rewrite: adopts W.S. 31-5-701 to -707; "not exceeding 750 watts"; lights; helmets for minors on a Class 3; reading or sending texts while riding "is deemed to have committed a careless driving offense" | Ord. No. 888, in force Aug. 15, 2026 |
| Lovell | "not exceeding seven hundred fifty (750) watts"; front lamp and red rear light; the Main Street sidewalk closure | §§ 15-07-010, -040, -060 |
| Mills | E-bicycles follow the bicycle rules: traffic signs, headlight and reflector, yield on sidewalks, no more than two abreast, one rider unless it is a tandem | §§ 10.64.060 to .130 |
| Moorcroft | No e-bike on business-section sidewalks; riders "observe all traffic rules required of motor vehicles" with both hands on the bars except to signal; impoundment up to 30 days | Title 5 |
Laramie, Lovell, Powell and Worland define the e-bike in their own chapters with a motor "not exceeding" 750 watts, where the state says "less than."
Each definition sits inside the town's own chapter, so a 750-watt bike falls under that town's device rules while W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) still leaves it outside the state's definition, with the results in what your bike becomes. Ride a bike rated under 750 watts and you never meet the question.
Paths, parks and trails in town
State law says an e-bike "shall not be a motor vehicle" (W.S. 31-5-707(a)), yet it is plainly motorized, and most of the rules below never say which word they meant. Until a town says otherwise, read a ban on "motorized vehicles" as reaching your e-bike.
| Town | Rule | Does it reach an e-bike? |
|---|---|---|
| Torrington | Class 2 and 3 barred from the Torrington Walking Path | Yes, by name |
| Pinedale | Class 3 off Town pathways unless beside a road or designated | Yes, by name |
| Wright | No "other motorized or self-propelled vehicles upon the greenways, sidewalks, walkways and bicycle pathways" (§ 6-4-2) | Yes: it is self-propelled |
| Green River | Off the streets, no "motor vehicle," which here means "every vehicle which is self propelled except vehicles which are designed to be moved solely by human power" (§ 24-3) | Yes |
| Riverton | No "motor powered vehicle of any kind" in a city park; no "motorized vehicle upon a recreational pathway or bicycle lane" (§ 12.24.020, § 12.28.050) | Yes in parks; unsettled on paths |
| Lyman | Motor-driven cycles, defined to include "every bicycle with motor attached," only on the designated roads of Slade Park and the Lyman Recreation Complex (§§ 6-1-2, 6-4-5) | Yes |
| Sinclair, Ten Sleep | No vehicle, "motorized or self-propelled," in Sinclair's park (§§ 8-4-1, 8-4-2); "all motorized vehicles and bicycles are prohibited on the grass areas" of Ten Sleep's (§ 6-3-5(E)) | Yes |
| Rawlins | No "motorized vehicle" on the Rawlins Pedestrian/Bike path except where it is a public street; fine $750 (§ 9.12.180) | Unsettled |
| Evanston | No "motorized vehicles on the trails" of the Bear Parkway (§ 17-1.2) | Unsettled |
| Buffalo | Clear Creek Trail System: "Not Allowed: Motorized vehicles." (§ 17-12) | Unsettled |
| Thayne | No "motorized vehicles, horses, four-wheelers or snow machines on the Town walking paths" (§ 6-3-10) | Unsettled |
| Pine Haven | No "motorized vehicle on walk/bike paths or sidewalks" (§ 26-2) | Unsettled |
| Evansville | No "motorized vehicle on any walking path or trail within the parks" without a town permit (§ 12-1-3) | Unsettled |
| Star Valley Ranch | Motorized vehicles only on "established roads, parking areas and on the pathway on south side of Vista Drive" (§ 91.04(A)) | Unsettled |
| Sheridan | No "motorized vehicle upon any portion of the flood control levee system" (§ 7-57) | Unsettled |
| Glenrock | No motor vehicle on the town bike path, defined to take in self-propelled vehicles but "This excludes bicycles of any configuration" (§ 13.03.240) | Unsettled, both ways |
| Guernsey | No "vehicle on any area designated as a bicycle path" (§ 5-2-3) | Unsettled: read literally, it bars every bicycle too |
Two older codes leave the question open another way. Hanna's 2009 code limits a "wheeled recreational device" on streets, sidewalks, paths and in parks (§ 70.02, § 79.02), and Afton's traffic code still counts "every bicycle with motor attached" as a motor-driven cycle (§§ 6-1-01, 6-1-02); neither says whether it means a modern e-bike. Ask the town office before you ride either one's paths.
Bicycle-only rules, no rules, and no code online
Fourteen towns regulate bicycles and never name the e-bike: Bar Nunn, Cody, Douglas, Dubois, Gillette, Kemmerer, LaGrange, Lander, Lingle, Lusk, Newcastle, Rock Springs, Sundance and Upton. Ten of them keep bicycles off some or all sidewalks. Gillette, Kemmerer and LaGrange define a bicycle as human-powered, so their rules do not reach an e-bike on their own words, while Douglas copies the state sidewalk sentence, with the state's open question.
Twelve codes we read carry no operative rule for bicycles or e-bikes: Baggs, Basin, Clearmont, Cowley, Fort Laramie, Hudson, Midwest, Mountain View, Ranchester, Saratoga, Wamsutter and Wheatland. If you ride in one of those towns, the state rules above are the whole rule.
The other 41 towns, with 12,418 people between them, publish no code we could read. None is carried by Municode, eCode360 or American Legal, and we found no codified code on their own websites. The largest are Alpine (1,360 people), Pine Bluffs (1,111) and Marbleton (845); if you live in any of the 41, your town office is the only place to learn a local rule.
Pending in three towns
Lander's Ordinance 2026-2 passed first reading on August 25, 2026, with five yes votes recorded in the minutes. The draft bars every class of e-bike from every sidewalk, opens the Lander Walking Path to Class 1 only, and requires helmets under 16.
Its second reading was on the September 8 agenda, the city had not posted that meeting's minutes by September 28, and the September 22 agenda carried no third reading. Until a third reading passes, the code in force keeps bicycles, scooters and skateboards off Main Street sidewalks, in words that do not name the e-bike.
Rock Springs took up a draft e-bike safety ordinance at a special council meeting on September 15, 2026, and Riverton's council discussed e-bikes at a September 8 work session on a staff memo asking whether to regulate them. Neither city had adopted anything by September 28, so the tables above describe the rules in force.
Riding under the influence
Wyoming's impaired-driving law reaches you on an e-bike. W.S. 31-5-233(b) says "No person shall drive or have actual physical control of any vehicle within this state" at an alcohol concentration of 0.08% or more, or while under the influence "to a degree which renders him incapable of safely driving," and an e-bike is a vehicle under § 31-5-102(a)(lviii).
A first conviction carries up to six months in jail, a fine of up to $750, or both, plus a substance use disorder assessment, under subsection (e).
The implied-consent law is narrower. W.S. 31-6-102(a)(i) deems consent to a chemical test from anyone who drives or controls "a motor vehicle upon a public street or highway," and an e-bike "shall not be a motor vehicle." Whether the test-refusal rules reach an e-bike rider is not settled by the words, and we found no Wyoming ruling on it. Either way, don't ride if you are impaired.
Rebates from Wyoming's co-ops
Check who sends your power bill before you buy: four Wyoming electric co-ops publish an e-bike rebate for 2026. Three of them post Electrify and Save, the rebate program Tri-State runs with its member co-ops, whose 2026 brochure pays "25% of cost up to $150 for snow blowers, walk-behind mowers and e-bikes," with "An aggregated maximum rebate of $300 per member account"; High West Energy's own page prints the same terms.
None of the 3,427 bills filed from 2019 through 2026 created a state e-bike rebate.
| Co-op | Wyoming customers, 2024 | Where it says so |
|---|---|---|
| High West Energy | 6,958 | Outdoor power equipment rebates |
| Wyrulec | 5,216 | 2026 rebate information |
| Big Horn Rural Electric | 4,078 | Rebates page and 2026 brochure |
| Niobrara Electric | 2,183 | 2026 brochure |
| Carbon Power & Light | 6,724 | Named on its 2025 rebates page; ask whether it continues |
The 2026 brochure has fine print that matters. "Members limited to one rebate per product except e-bikes," so one member account could claim for two e-bikes inside the $300 cap; the rebate needs "paid receipts," covers new equipment only, and "A discounted product can result in a reduced rebate."
Every pick on this page costs more than $600, so each would earn the full $150 except the $599 CY20 Pro, at $149.75. Confirm with your co-op before you buy, as the brochure's first page asks.
We checked all 36 utilities that sell power in Wyoming, from the Energy Information Administration's 2024 and 2025 lists. Rocky Mountain Power, the largest with 144,765 Wyoming customers in 2024, lists no e-bike among the home and business incentives in its 2024–2026 Wyoming efficiency plan, and we found no e-bike rebate on the sites of 25 others.
Bridger Valley Electric's and Fort Laramie's sites would not load for us, and three small utilities post no website; if one of them serves you, call it to ask.
Our shelf against Wyoming's line
We screened all 217 of our e-bike listings, as our catalog stood on September 28, 2026, against W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv): each listing's motor rating, pedals, seat, wheels, top speed and throttle, the statute's own limbs. Five listings that are not bicycles, three scooters, an electric balance bike and an accessories kit, stay out of that count.
| Verdict against W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) | Listings |
|---|---|
| Inside: pedals, a seat, two or three wheels, a motor under 750 W, a class speed | 20 |
| Inside motor by motor, but with two motors (unsettled) | 2 |
| Outside: rated at 750 W, the figure "less than 750" excludes | 76 |
| Outside: rated over 750 W | 93 |
| Outside: assists past its class speed, or throttles past 20 mph | 8 |
| Outside: no pedals | 2 |
| Our listing does not settle the pedals | 12 |
| Our listing prints no top speed | 4 |
| All e-bike listings | 217 |
Twenty listings fit Wyoming's definition on the figures they print.
The 76 rated at 750 watts are Wyoming's particular trap: the same bikes sit inside the line in Colorado, South Dakota and Utah, and Montana writes no watt figure at all.
Of the 179 outside, 92 read as mopeds on their published numbers, 63 as motor-driven cycles, and 9 as motorcycles; for 15, our listings leave the question open. Before you order any bike our listing leaves undecided, write to us with the model and we will check the maker's figures for you.
Six bikes that fit Wyoming
Each of the six clears the definition on its maker's rated motor figure, its pedals, its seat, its wheels and an assist that stops by 20 mph, and each suits a different Wyoming ride. Two print only a continuous rating. The other four also print a peak of 750 watts or more, which matters only on the peak reading of the statute, and each card says so.
All six are sold with a throttle, which makes each a Class 2 under the statute's own definition; in a state park that keeps them to the roads and the routes open to motor vehicles. Where a rule names classes, look for Class 2: Torrington's Walking Path and Yellowstone's regulation leave it out, while Pinedale's pathways and Fossil Butte's roads let it in.
The CY20 Pro in black, in the image Samebike's US store ties to that color; the UL 2849 badge in the corner is Samebike's.
Samebike CY20 Pro
$599 · maker's list $899The lowest price on our Wyoming shelf, and it folds into a trunk. Samebike's folding commuter runs a 500 W rear hub on 20 × 3.0 tires with a thumb throttle and five assist levels, and weighs 68 lb with a 330 lb load limit, the figures our CY20 Pro review confirmed at Samebike's own page. It suits apartment riders, camper owners and anyone who drives to the trailhead.
The title on Samebike's US page reads "Peak 800W," so this is a pick for the rated reading of Wyoming's line, where its 500 W motor sits well inside. It ships free to Wyoming, and with Shop Pay the $599 could be split into 4 interest-free payments of $149.75 every 2 weeks.
The TIGER JR in blue, in the image Qiolor ties to that color: CHAOYANG 20 × 4.0 tires under a retro frame.
Qiolor TIGER JR
$899 · maker's list $1,399For gravel county roads and heavier riders. Qiolor says its four-inch CHAOYANG tires offer "superior grip and durability, perfect for tackling rough trails," and rates the frame for a 400 lb maximum load at an 87 lb net weight. Its 48V 15Ah battery gives "up to 70 miles with pedal assistance or 40 miles using just the throttle," by Qiolor's figures, with hydraulic disc brakes.
Qiolor says the motor is "Rated 48V 500W(Peak 750W)" and ships the bike "as a Class II e-bike" with a 20 MPH default that "can be adjusted"; leave it at 20, since changing it without a new label breaks W.S. 31-5-707(c). Free shipping to Wyoming; with Shop Pay the $899 could be 4 interest-free payments of $224.75 every 2 weeks.
The CMB in Metallic Silver, in the image Vtuvia ties to that color: a step-through frame with the motor at the cranks.
VTUVIA CMB 8-Speed
$1,399 · maker's list $1,899For Wyoming's headwind. A mid-drive turns the cranks, so the motor works through the bike's eight Shimano gears and shifts down into a headwind or a climb the way your legs do, and Vtuvia rates it at 175 N·m, the highest torque figure printed for any of our six picks. Its 691.2 Wh LG battery runs "Max 80 Miles(Pedal Assist) 45 Miles(Throttle Only)," and it weighs 60 lb with rack and fenders.
Vtuvia rates its peak two ways, "750W Peak Mid-Drive Power" in one panel and "48V 500W(PEAK 820W)" in its specification table; on the rated reading the 500 W motor is inside either way. It is a Class 2 set to 20 MPH by default; keep it there. Free shipping to Wyoming; with Shop Pay, 12 monthly payments of $126.27 at 15% APR.
The G30-CARGO 2.0 in orange, in the image Eunorau ties to that color: a long rear deck on 20 × 3.0 tires.
Eunorau G30-CARGO 2.0
$1,699For groceries, feed sacks and the school run. Eunorau rates its long-tail for 440 lb of total payload, rider included, on a 500 W geared rear hub with "max 65 N.m torque," a Shimano seven-speed and hydraulic brakes with a motor cutoff. A second 15Ah battery is optional, for "Up to 35-65 miles with dual batteries." Our G30-CARGO review has the full specification.
Eunorau's page prints a continuous 500 W and no peak figure, so it sits inside Wyoming's line on either reading. It ships free to Wyoming; with Shop Pay, 12 monthly payments of $153.35 at 15% APR.
The NEW-TRIKE 2.0 in Deep Crimson, in Eunorau's own featured image: a backrest seat, a front basket and a rear cargo deck.
Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0
$2,499Three wheels for riders who want no balancing. Wyoming's definition names "a bicycle or tricycle," so this is an e-bike on the road like any other. Eunorau builds it with a 48V 20Ah battery for "60-100 Miles," a 500 W front motor with 80 N·m, a backrest, a parking brake and a 440 lb payload, and our NEW-TRIKE 2.0 review has the full specification.
Eunorau says the motor can reach "over 750 peak watts," so it is a pick for the rated reading, and its top speed is "20MPH / 32KMH under speed limited/locked." On Teton County's pathways, read the trike note first. Free shipping to Wyoming; with Shop Pay, 12 monthly payments of $225.56 at 15% APR.
The Hera in blue, in the image DWMEIGI ties to that color: a low step-through trike with a wide rear basket.
DWMEIGI MG708 Hera
$1,499The gentlest ride here, and made for 15 mph paths. DWMEIGI rates the Hera's front hub at 350 W with a "15MPH top speed," on a 36V 13Ah battery for up to 25 miles on the motor alone or 40 with pedal assist. It carries 330 lb and has a rear basket with a 50 lb limit. Cheyenne's Greenway posts a 15 mph limit, the same speed this trike tops out at.
DWMEIGI prints no peak figure for this motor, so it is inside on either reading. Free shipping to Wyoming; with Shop Pay, 12 monthly payments of $135.30 at 15% APR.
Two picks ride on three wheels, the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0 and the DWMEIGI Hera, and Wyoming's "bicycle or tricycle" wording counts both as e-bikes. For the lowest price, the Samebike CY20 Pro folds at $599; for loads, the Eunorau G30-CARGO 2.0 carries 440 lb. Into a headwind, the VTUVIA CMB 8-Speed shifts its mid-drive down through eight gears, and on gravel county roads the Qiolor TIGER JR rolls on four-inch tires.
Other models from these five makers are listed on our store too, under Samebike, Qiolor, Vtuvia, Eunorau and DWMEIGI. If you choose one of them, check that its listing rates the motor under 750 watts before you order.

Not an e-bike: mopeds, scooters and dirt bikes
Three kinds of machine sell beside e-bikes and fail Wyoming's definition on a limb. A pedal bike past the watt line is usually a moped, covered in what your bike becomes.
A stand-up electric scooter has no "seat or saddle for the rider's use," so if you ride one, none of this page's e-bike rules protect you; towns set their own, and Casper, for one, caps e-scooters at fifteen miles per hour (§ 10.64.190(A)(1)(b)).
An electric dirt bike without pedals fails the pedal limb. Wyoming's off-road vehicle definition takes in "Any motorcycle not required by law to be licensed that has an unladen weight of six hundred (600) pounds or less, is designed to be ridden off-road" (W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xv)(K)).
Such a machine needs a $15 annual decal for Wyoming's designated off-road trails (W.S. 31-2-703(a)), and on a public road it may run only where the road is designated an off-road trail, with liability insurance of at least $25,000 (W.S. 31-5-1601(a)(i)).
Wyoming eBike laws at a glance
If you need one answer fast, the table below gives you Wyoming's rule on each question riders ask most, with the statute, rule or section that settles it, so you can open the source and check it yourself.
| Question | Wyoming's answer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| What counts as an e-bike? | Pedals, a seat, two or three wheels, a motor under 750 W, and Class 1, 2 or 3 | W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) |
| Is a 750-watt bike an e-bike? | No; the line is "less than" 750 | W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) |
| License, registration, title or insurance? | None for an e-bike | § 31-5-707(a) |
| Minimum age? | None in state law | The 2019 act |
| Helmet? | None in state law; four towns set their own | Helmets and age |
| Where on the road? | As far right as practicable; drivers pass at three feet when space allows | §§ 31-5-704(a), 31-5-203(c) |
| Sidewalks? | No riding "other than by human power"; towns decide the rest | § 31-5-120 |
| Paths and trails? | Whoever owns the trail decides | § 31-5-707(f) |
| State park trails? | Class 1 only on non-motorized trails | Ch. 1 § 17(h) |
| Game and Fish land? | Designated or established roads only | Ch. 23 § 5(a)(iii) |
| National forests? | Only routes open to motor vehicles | 36 C.F.R. § 261.13 |
| The label? | Class, top assisted speed and wattage, in nine-point type | § 31-5-707(b) |
| Raising the speed? | Only with a replacement label | § 31-5-707(c) |
| Lights? | Unsettled in state law; eight towns require them | Lights and brakes |
| Riding impaired? | The DUI law covers "any vehicle" | § 31-5-233(b) |
| The fine? | Up to $200, then $300, then $500 or six months | § 31-5-1201(b) |
Which rule applies to you
Most riders fit one of the seven situations below. Find yours and you have the rules for your bike, your town and the ground you plan to ride, each drawn from a section above.
- You commute on a Class 2 in Cheyenne. The street is yours with a driver's duties, the city allows e-bikes on the Greenway at 15 mph, and downtown sidewalks are closed to bicycles and motor-assisted scooters, so stay in the street there.
- You live in Jackson. Present the bike to the police within 30 days of buying it for an inspection and a permit, keep a working speedometer, stay off the sidewalks, and put a helmet on anyone under 18.
- You want state park singletrack. Buy a bike its maker sells as Class 1; a throttle bike stays on the park's roads and motorized routes.
- You bought a 750-watt bike. Wyoming's definition leaves it out, so it most likely reads as a moped: carry a driver's license, and ask your county treasurer about registration before you ride it on a public road.
- You are driving to Grand Teton or Yellowstone. Grand Teton lets e-bikes go wherever bicycles go, pathways included. Yellowstone's regulation names Class 1 and 3 on roads open to cars in summer, so a Class 2 rider should ask the park first.
- You are heading into a national forest. Ride only what the forest's motor vehicle use map opens to motor vehicles; on the Bridger-Teton, Cache Creek and Teton Pass are for regular bikes.
- Your child rides. The state sets no age or helmet rule, but Torrington, Powell, Worland and Jackson do, and under W.S. 31-5-701(b) a parent may not "authorize or knowingly permit" a child to break the traffic code.
What the AI answers get wrong about Wyoming
On September 28, 2026, we put ten Wyoming e-bike questions, each one a search suggestion you may see as you type, to one AI search engine and checked every answer against the enacted law. Retailers' blogs led the source lists, and the Legislature's own site appeared in two of the ten. If an AI engine has answered you about Wyoming, read its answer against this list: each item states the rule first, then what the answers said.
- Wyoming sets no minimum age. Five of the ten answers printed a minimum age of 16 for Class 3, four of them in the words "be at least 16 years old"; the House struck that clause in 2019 (the 2019 act).
- State law has no e-bike helmet rule. Six answers printed one, from riders "under the age of 16" on a Class 3 to "mandatory for riders below 18 across all e-bike classes"; the rules that exist are four towns' (helmets).
- No speedometer rule applies statewide. One answer said Class 3 bikes "are required to be equipped with a speedometer"; that clause was struck too, and only Jackson requires one.
- No state rule keeps Class 3 off paths. One answer printed the struck path clause as law; paths belong to their owners under § 31-5-707(f).
- Sidewalks are not settled statewide. One answer said "Electric bikes are prohibited on sidewalks"; the state sentence is open for pedal assist, and eight towns write their own rule.
- Lights are unsettled in state law. Two answers called a white front light and a rear reflector required on e-bikes; the lamp rule is written for bicycles, and eight towns require lights by name.
None of the ten answers mentioned Game and Fish lands, Teton County's pathways, mopeds, rebates, riding impaired, or the codes of Cheyenne, Laramie, Torrington, Pinedale, Powell, Worland or Moorcroft. Only one answer included tricycles, which Wyoming's definition names, calling an e-bike "a bike or trike."
What a Wyoming e-bike ticket costs
If you break a rule of the bicycle article, it is a misdemeanor under W.S. 31-5-701(a), and the traffic code's general scale sets the fine where no other penalty applies: W.S. 31-5-1201(b) allows up to $200 on a first conviction, up to $300 on a second for the same offense within a year, and up to $500, six months in jail, or both on a third.
| Where | What triggers it | Maximum penalty |
|---|---|---|
| Any public road | Most traffic-code violations | $200, then $300, then $500 or six months (§ 31-5-1201(b)) |
| Any public road | Riding impaired | Six months, $750, or both on a first conviction (§ 31-5-233(e)) |
| Powell | The city's device rules | A misdemeanor fine of up to $750 (Ord. No. 9, 2026) |
| Rawlins | A motorized vehicle on the Pedestrian/Bike path | "a fine of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00), court costs and restitution" (§ 9.12.180(B)) |
| Moorcroft | Any Title 5 violation | The bike impounded for up to 30 days (Title 5, § 5-104) |
| Teton County pathways | A Title 8 violation | Two warnings, then a six-month No Trespass Order (§ 8-5-1) |
| State parks | A chapter 1 violation | Removal from park lands, "In addition to any other penalties provided" (§ 8(e)) |
| National parks | A park regulation | Six months, a fine, or both (36 C.F.R. § 1.3; 18 U.S.C. § 1865(a)) |
| National forests | Riding off the motor vehicle use map | Six months, a fine under 18 U.S.C. § 3571, or both (36 C.F.R. § 261.1b) |
| BLM land | Breaking the off-road vehicle rules | "$1,000 or imprisonment for not longer than 12 months, or both" (43 C.F.R. § 8340.0-7) |
A Wyoming e-bike checklist
Nine checks cover what Wyoming asks of you and your bike, and each one rests on a statute, a rule or a town code quoted above.
- A motor rated under 750 watts. 749 is in; 750 is out.
- Pedals, a seat, two or three wheels, and assist that stops at 20 mph (Class 1 or 2) or at 28 mph while you pedal (Class 3).
- The maker's label showing class, top assisted speed and wattage, and no change to the speed without a new one.
- Class 1 if you want state park trails marked non-motorized.
- A white light and a red light or reflector at night, whatever the state question; eight towns require them.
- A helmet on the kids in Torrington, Powell, Worland and Jackson, and ideally everywhere.
- Jackson's inspection and permit within 30 days of buying the bike.
- Roads only on Game and Fish land, motor-vehicle routes in national forests, and off-road-vehicle routes on BLM land.
- Sober riding: the impaired-driving law covers "any vehicle."
If an officer stops you
Stop, stay calm, and have the bike's facts ready. An e-bike in Wyoming needs no license, registration or insurance under § 31-5-707(a), so the proof that matters is the maker's label, which must show "the class number," "the top assisted speed and motor wattage" (§ 31-5-707(b)). Keep it legible, and keep a photo of the maker's specification page on your phone.
In Jackson, carry the town permit, or until it is issued, the document showing your purchase date (§ 10.13.040). A ticket names the section it charges: state rules are in Title 31, and town rules are in the codes linked from the town section.
How Wyoming compares with its neighbors
Three of Wyoming's six neighbors, Colorado, South Dakota and Utah, let a bike rated at 750 watts count as an e-bike, so a bike outside the line in Cheyenne is inside it once you cross into Fort Collins, Rapid City or Ogden. Idaho draws it the same way Wyoming does. Montana writes no watt figure at all, but its definition requires "two tandem wheels," so your trike, an e-bike in Wyoming, is not one there.
| State | The motor limit, in the statute's words | Our guide |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming | "less than seven hundred fifty (750) watts" (W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv)) | This page |
| Idaho | "less than seven hundred fifty (750) watts" (§ 49-106) | Idaho |
| Colorado | "not exceeding seven hundred fifty watts" (C.R.S. § 42-1-102(28.5)) | Colorado |
| Utah | "not more than 750 watts" (§ 41-6a-102) | Utah |
| South Dakota | "seven hundred fifty watts or less" (SDCL § 32-20B-9) | Not yet written |
| Nebraska | "Not exceeding seven hundred fifty watts" and "no more than one brake horsepower," about 746 W (§ 60-614.02) | Nebraska |
| Montana | No watt figure; "two tandem wheels" (MCA § 61-8-102) | Montana |
Nebraska is the odd case. Its watt words are inclusive, but § 60-614.02 also caps the motor at "no more than one brake horsepower," about 746 watts, and does not say whether a listing's watt rating is the power the motor draws or the power it delivers. Read as draw, a 750-watt motor passes both limbs; read as output, it is about 4 watts over, and our page on Nebraska sets out both readings for you.
The word "less" draws the same line in other states. Sixteen other states write "less than" 750 watts: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Tennessee and Vermont. Texas and West Virginia write "fewer than," which leaves a 750-watt motor out in the same way, and Connecticut writes it too until October 1, 2026, when its wording becomes "not more than."
A bike rated at exactly 750 watts is an e-bike wherever the figure is written inclusively: "not more than" in Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Nevada, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Utah; "not exceeding" in Colorado and New Mexico; and "or less" in Maryland, Massachusetts, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
The same bike also counts where the statute says "no more than" in Hawaii, North Carolina, Virginia and Washington; "not greater than" in Indiana and Michigan; "does not exceed" in California; "or fewer" in North Dakota; or "less than or equal to" in Delaware. New Jersey, Oregon and the District of Columbia set no watt figure at all, as Montana does.

If your question runs past Wyoming, the pages below pick up where this one stops, whichever way you head next: the national table, five of Wyoming's neighbors, federal land, hunting, mopeds, dual motors and our reviews of three picks.
- Electric bike laws in every state, the 50-state table this page's row belongs to.
- The neighbors: Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Nebraska and Montana.
- E-bikes on public land, the federal rules behind the park and forest sections above.
- E-bikes and hunting, state by state, with Wyoming's Game and Fish rule beside every other state's.
- Electric mopeds, if the bike you want is past the watt line and you would rather own it openly.
- Dual-motor e-bikes, for the question "an electric motor" leaves open.
- Our reviews of three picks: the Samebike CY20 Pro, the Eunorau G30-CARGO 2.0 and the Eunorau NEW-TRIKE 2.0.
The bottom line
Buy a bike rated under 750 watts, with working pedals, a seat and assist that stops at its class speed, and Wyoming asks nothing more of you on the road. No license, registration, insurance, minimum age or state helmet rule applies to it, and drivers owe you three feet.
Then check the ground under your tires. State parks keep Class 2 and 3 off their non-motorized trails, Game and Fish land keeps every e-bike to its roads, national forests keep them to motor-vehicle routes, and eleven towns, Jackson above all, write rules of their own. Our six picks all sit under the line on their makers' ratings; tell us where you ride and we will help you choose.

Choose your Wyoming bikeFrequently asked questions
Are e-bikes legal in Wyoming?
Yes. Every class may use public roads, and you ride with a driver's rights and duties under W.S. 31-5-702, as long as your bike has pedals, a seat, two or three wheels, a motor under 750 watts and a class speed under W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv). Paths, parks and trails belong to whoever owns them.
Do you need a license for an electric bike in Wyoming?
No. W.S. 31-5-707(a) says you are "not subject to the provisions of this title relating to financial responsibility, driver's licenses, registration, certificates of title" when you ride an e-bike. If your bike is rated at 750 watts or more, carry a driver's license, because it most likely reads as a moped.
Do I need to register my e-bike in Wyoming?
Not with the state. Jackson is the exception: you present the bike to the Jackson Police Department within 30 days of buying it for an inspection and a town permit under § 10.13.040, and W.S. 31-5-109(a)(vii) lets any town require it.
Do I need insurance to ride an e-bike in Wyoming?
No. The financial-responsibility law does not reach you on an e-bike under W.S. 31-5-707(a). Your own homeowner's or renter's policy may or may not cover the bike, so ask your insurer if you want theft or liability cover.
Does Wyoming have a helmet law for e-bikes?
Not in state law; "helmet" appears in the Wyoming code only in sections about off-road vehicles and helmet sales. Four towns have one: Torrington for riders under 16, Powell and Worland for minors on a Class 3, and Jackson for riders under 18 through the motorcycle rules it applies (helmets).
What is the minimum age to ride an e-bike in Wyoming?
Wyoming sets none for any class, so state law does not stop your child from riding one. An under-16 rule for Class 3 was in the 2019 bill until House amendment H2001 struck it on February 14, 2019, before the bill passed (the 2019 act).
What is the motor watt limit for e-bikes in Wyoming?
Less than 750 watts: the statute says "an electric motor of less than seven hundred fifty (750) watts" in W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv). If your motor is rated at 749 watts, you are inside; at 750 you are outside, which is where 76 of our 217 e-bike listings fall.
What happens if my e-bike's motor is 750 watts or more?
Then your bike is not an e-bike in Wyoming. With pedals, two horsepower (about 1,491 watts) or less and a top speed of 30 mph or less, it reads as a moped under W.S. 31-5-102(a)(xxi), and you need a driver's license of any class to ride it; past those figures it is a motor-driven cycle or a motorcycle that must be registered (what your bike becomes).
Are Class 2 throttle e-bikes legal in Wyoming?
Yes, as long as your throttle stops helping at 20 mph. W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) defines Class 2 as a motor that "may be used to propel the bicycle without pedaling" and "is not capable of providing assistance" at 20 mph. State park non-motorized trails are closed to you on one (Ch. 1 § 17(h)).
Where can I ride a Class 3 e-bike in Wyoming?
You may ride one on public roads everywhere, with the same rights as any other e-bike. Off-road, the owner decides: Pinedale keeps Class 3 off town pathways unless they run beside a road, Torrington keeps it off sidewalks and its Walking Path, and state parks keep it off non-motorized trails (where you may ride).
Are e-bikes allowed on trails and bike paths in Wyoming?
It depends on who owns the trail you want to ride. W.S. 31-5-707(f) lets "a local authority or state agency with jurisdiction" regulate "any class of electric bicycles on trails, including nonmotorized trails." Cheyenne's Greenway and Teton County's pathways allow e-bikes; several towns ban "motorized vehicles" from their paths (town paths).
Can you ride an e-bike on the sidewalk in Wyoming?
State law bars driving any vehicle "other than by human power" on a sidewalk (W.S. 31-5-120), which plainly covers riding on throttle and leaves pedal assist unsettled. Towns decide the rest: Jackson bans e-bikes from every sidewalk, Torrington bans Class 2 and 3, and Casper allows them only beside roads posted at 30 mph or more (sidewalks).
Are e-bikes allowed in Yellowstone?
On roads and in parking areas, yes. The park's regulations allow "e-bikes (class 1 and 3)" on established roads "when open to motor vehicles during the summer season," and no bike of any kind may use "backcountry trails, boardwalks, and oversnow routes" (Yellowstone's bicycling page). If you ride a Class 2, ask the park before you go.
Are e-bikes allowed in Wyoming's national forests?
Only where motor vehicles are. The Forest Service counts any self-propelled vehicle as a motor vehicle (36 C.F.R. § 212.1), and the Bridger-Teton says "E-bikes are allowed only on trails and roads marked for motorized use" (biking page). Check the forest's motor vehicle use map before you ride.
Do e-bikes in Wyoming need a label?
Yes. Since January 1, 2020, W.S. 31-5-707(b) has required the maker or distributor to fix a permanent label showing the class, the top assisted speed and the motor wattage, printed in at least nine-point type. If you change the bike's speed or how its motor engages, subsection (c) requires you to replace the label.
Can Wyoming towns make their own e-bike rules?
Yes, and eleven have. W.S. 31-5-109(a)(vii) lets a town regulate "the operation of bicycles and electric bicycles," and § 31-5-707(f) gives towns and state agencies the trails. Jackson's permit, Torrington's sidewalk ban and Pinedale's pathway rule are three examples (town codes).
Is Wyoming changing its e-bike laws?
Not at the state level: of the 3,427 bills filed from 2019 through 2026, none changed a rule you meet on an e-bike. The changes are local and federal: State Parks allowed Class 1 on its non-motorized trails on August 5, 2026, Lander's draft ordinance had not passed its third reading by September 28, 2026, and the Park Service takes comments on a national rule until November 2, 2026.
Are dirt bikes street legal in Wyoming?
If your electric dirt bike has no pedals, it is not an e-bike; built for off-road riding, it is an off-road recreational vehicle under W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xv)(K). On a public road it may run only where the road is designated an off-road vehicle trail, with at least $25,000 of liability insurance, lights at night, and a brake, horn, muffler and mirror (W.S. 31-5-1601(a)).
What this page does not cover
County ordinances other than Teton County's pathway title were outside this census, which covered Wyoming's 99 incorporated towns and cities; 184,315 people, 31.4% of the state, live outside them, where state law and any county rule apply.
Private property open to the public by the owner's leave follows the owner's terms under W.S. 31-5-111(a). Tribal law on the Wind River Reservation is not covered, and nothing here is legal advice for a particular dispute.
The 41 towns whose codes we could not read online are Albin, Alpine, Bairoil, Bear River, Big Piney, Burlington, Burns, Byron, Chugwater, Cokeville, Deaver, Diamondville, Dixon, East Thermopolis, Edgerton, Elk Mountain, Encampment, Frannie, Glendo, Granger, Hartville, Hulett, Kaycee, Kirby, La Barge, Lost Springs, Manderson, Manville, Marbleton, Medicine Bow, Meeteetse, Opal, Pavillion, Pine Bluffs, Riverside, Rock River, Rolling Hills, Shoshoni, Superior, Van Tassell and Yoder. Together they hold 12,418 people.
How we verified this guide, in detail
Written by Milad Ghobadibeygvand, BScN (Western University, 2014), who writes this journal and reviews the bikes for it. Our evidence on this page is data and math: every figure about our bikes is verified against the maker's published specification and screened against each limb of W.S. 31-1-101(a)(xxxiv) on the date stated.
Every rule is quoted from its primary source: Title 31 in the Legislature's own compilation, the bill records at wyoleg.gov, the state's administrative rules at rules.wyo.gov, the federal rules in the eCFR and the Federal Register, each park's or forest's own page, and each town's code at its own publisher. No rule on the page rests on a summary, a competitor's guide or an AI answer.
The instruments behind the page are re-runnable. They scan the full text of all 43 titles of the Wyoming code for e-bike terms, with a working control, and all 3,427 bills filed from 2019 through 2026.
They also scan all 181 current chapters of State Parks, Game and Fish, State Lands, WYDOT and Tourism rules, build a census of all 99 towns with every quoted rule asserted against its saved text, and screen all 217 of our e-bike listings against the statute's limbs.

Corrections go to support@redtailebikes.com, and we publish them.
Last verified: September 28, 2026. Title 31, agency rules, federal rules, park and forest pages, town codes, council records, makers' pages, our prices and stock, and the utilities' rebate pages were all read on September 28, 2026.
The source register
Every rule on this page rests on a first-tier source you can open yourself. The one government research report, the Congressional Research Service's federal land count, is cited only for its acreage figures.

Limitations
Each limit below is a question the record leaves open, with what would close it. Where one touches your bike or your ride, the section above that covers it tells you what to do in the meantime.
- Whether "less than seven hundred fifty (750) watts" means a motor's rating or its peak is not settled by the statute or by any Wyoming ruling we found; the picks are chosen on the rated reading and each card states its peak. Expires when a Wyoming court, the Legislature or an agency answers it.
- Whether a dual-motor bike's limb counts each motor or the pair is not settled; two listings are reported as unsettled. Expires on the same terms.
- Whether pedal-assisted riding is driving "other than by human power" under W.S. 31-5-120, whether the bicycle lamp rule reaches e-bikes, and whether the implied-consent law reaches an e-bike rider are unsettled, and each is published both ways. Expires when each is decided.
- The registration chapter defines a moped by engine cylinder capacity, so whether an electric moped must be registered is not settled by its words. Expires when the Legislature or WYDOT addresses it.
- Game and Fish chapter 23 borrows a statute that excludes e-bikes and then names the electric bike as a motor vehicle, and it states no penalty of its own. Expires if the Commission amends the chapter.
- Yellowstone's bicycling page names no class in its summary and "class 1 and 3" in its regulations. Expires when the park reconciles the page.
- Forty-one towns publish no code we could read online, and for 16 of the 47 towns whose rules we name, we could not check for ordinances adopted since the last codification. Expires as each town posts its code or its new ordinances.
- Lander's Ordinance 2026-2, drafts in Rock Springs and Riverton, the Park Service's proposed bicycle rule and the Forest Service's travel-management study were pending on September 28, 2026. Expires at each adoption or withdrawal; we re-read Lander's council record after October 13, 2026.
- We found no BLM decision opening a Wyoming trail to e-bikes through the BLM's site finder, the Federal Register and its planning site; a field-office decision posted elsewhere could exist. Expires when a Wyoming field office publishes one.
- Two utilities' sites would not load and three post no website, so their rebate status is unknown. Expires when each is reached.
- Shelf figures are our listings' figures; 16 listings print too little to decide, and the six picks were read at their makers' US stores on September 28, 2026. Expires at the next price or specification change.
- The AI-answer panel ran on one AI search engine on one day; three commercial answer engines could not be read from our location. Expires at the next panel run.
- The Reddit part of the demand harvest is partial: one archive rate-limited 197 of 340 queries, and the other timed out on 315 of 416 subreddit searches across three passes. Expires when the harvest completes.

Image credit: the cover scene was generated with Nano Banana Pro on Playcut, with its type set in-house; it shows the Teton Range above the sagebrush of Jackson Hole, built only from features the National Park Service's Grand Teton geology page confirms, with two of the park's photographs as the reference. The six bikes appear in their makers' own product images, scaled only, and the charts are drawn from the page's own datasets.
