Atlantic Highlands Police Chief Scott Reinert

Police Chief Scott Reinert announced the details of the new state regulations, and the Atlantic Highlands Mayor and Council stressed the importance of the public being aware of the new laws at its recent meeting.

Since the licensing and registration are not currently available, there is an information line where interested persons can sign up to get further information. That site is

A helmet is mandatory for all e-bike riders, regardless of age.

A low-speed e-bike is defined as a two-wheeled bicycle with pedals where the motor assists only while pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour.

A motorized bicycle (moped) is a pedal bicycle that is throttle-capable of assisted speeds up to 28 miles per hour.

Operators of e-bikes must be a minimum of 15 years of age, and possess a valid driver license , e-bike license or e-bike permit.

Motorized bicycles are required to be registered and to have insurance coverage.

Low Speed Electric Bicycles do not require insurance but still must be registered with MVC.

In order to secure an E-bike license, interested persons must be at least 15 years old, schedule an appointment for an e-bike permit, pass the Knowledge and Vision Tests to validate the permit, schedule a Road Test, practice operating the e-bike, unsupervised and during daylight hours, for 45 days. Upon passing the Road Test, the license can be obtained at an NJMVC Licensing Center.

All motorized bicycles are required to be registered and to have insurance coverage. Owners must provide ID and show valid proof of ownership or affidavit of ownership, and provide a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO) If an MCO, bill of sale or formal proof of ownership is not available, the Motor Vehicle Commission may accept an affidavit from the current owner. The affidavit sets forth with reasonable specificity the acquisition of ownership of the e-bike, together with any supporting documents, as proof of ownership of the e-bike.

Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me. There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs—commerce surrounds it with her surf. Right and left, the streets take you waterward. Its extreme down-town is the Battery, where that noble mole is washed by waves, and cooled by breezes, which a few hours previous were out of sight of land. Look at the crowds of water-gazers there. Circumambulate the city of a dreamy Sabbath afternoon. Go from Corlears Hook to Coenties Slip, and from thence, by Whitehall, northward. What do you see?—Posted like silent sentinels all around the town, stand thousands upon thousands of mortal men fixed in ocean reveries. Some leaning against the spiles; some seated upon the pier-heads; some looking over the bulwarks of ships from China; some high aloft in the rigging, as if striving to get a still better seaward peep. But these are all landsmen; of week days pent up in lath and plaster—tied to counters, nailed to benches, clinched to desks. How then is this? Are the green fields gone? What do they here?
