TexasElectric bicycle classes, age, and access

Bicycle rules generally apply; an e-bike may not be prohibited where a non-electric bicycle is allowed, except on natural-surface nonmotorized trails. State/local authorities may restrict sidewalk use and set path speeds. Class 3 operators must be at least 15. No statewide e-bike helmet rule was verified.
