Alaska

Not addressed in statute. Not addressed in statute. Alaska has no e-bike definition or class system. State law defines "motor vehicle" as any self-propelled vehicle, and "motor-driven cycle" as a motorcycle, motor scooter, motorized bicycle or similar conveyance with an engine of 50 cc or less. We found no Alaska statute that covers this vehicle by name or by a definition that clearly fits it. That isn't permission: police and cities may treat it under another category. HB 8 (2023), which would have created Class 1/2/3 e-bikes and treated them as bicycles, passed both chambers but was vetoed by the governor on July 20, 2023. Some cities (e.g. Anchorage) set their own e-bike rules.

Not addressed in statute. Not addressed in statute. No stand-up e-scooter definition. "Motor-driven cycle" covers a "motor scooter" with an engine of 50 cc or less; "electric personal motor vehicle" covers only self-balancing two-wheel (Segway-type) devices up to 15 mph. We found no Alaska statute that covers this vehicle by name or by a definition that clearly fits it. That isn't permission: police and cities may treat it under another category. Whether a stand-up e-scooter is a "motor scooter" under the motor-driven cycle definition is not settled by statute or DMV guidance.
