Florida eBike Law. Electric Bicycle Shop – National eBike. Electric Bikes ads are all over the Internet and their flashy ads try to set the expectation of a “perfect bike” and a “flawless delivery process.” The truth is a lot of Internet purchases do not go as planned. Quite a few of the bikes sold online do not meet state law requirements and cannot legally be operated on trails, sidewalks, or in bike lanes. This exposes the individual to unexpected liability should an accident occur. You cannot inspect or test Internet bikes, and often have to rely on the ad content, pictures, and questionable reviews.
