LAKEWOOD, NJ (June 7, 2026)–The Lakewood Police Department reminds residents to stay informed about New Jersey’s updated bicycle and e-bike laws.
New requirements for e-bike riders include licensing, registration, insurance requirements, age restrictions, and mandatory helmet use. These changes are designed to improve safety for riders and everyone sharing our roadways.
Motorists are also reminded that New Jersey’s Safe Passing Law requires drivers to move over when possible and provide at least 4 feet of clearance when passing bicyclists and other vulnerable road users. If 4 feet cannot be provided, drivers must slow down and be prepared to stop until it is safe to pass.
For complete details on the new laws, licensing requirements, registration information, and safety guidelines, please visit the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission website:

Let’s work together to keep Lakewood’s roads safe for everyone.
