# SB187 Summary This bill creates a legal definition for electric bicycles in South Dakota and sets rules for how they can be used on roads and paths. The law specifies that electric bikes with motors up to a certain power level are treated similarly to regular bicycles, allowing riders to use them in bike lanes and on paths where regular bikes are permitted. This gives e-bike riders clear guidance on where they can legally ride while helping law enforcement and local governments enforce consistent rules statewide.
