But still not allowed in the bike lanes and paths within the Chicago City limits.
Just FYI. According to my last convo. w/CDOT rep: if it has a motor, stay out of the bike lanes. I don't know if they'll make an exception for assist.
From the link that Dan provided:
"Provides that a person may operate a low-speed electric bicycle only if the person has a valid current
Illinois driver's license, regardless of classification, and the person is at least 16 years of age"
Does that mean that you need a drivers license to operate an electric assisted bike?

I wouldn't think so, Homebuilt.
From what the CDOT rep is saying via you, 'motor onboard = no bike lane for you' instead of 'motor onboard, but not using it = bike lane ok'
Wish I could phrase that better. I hope it's clear.

No, because Amendment No. 1 "Removes the requirement that a person have a valid current Illinois driver's license to operate an electric bicycle."
