What about my insurance?
E-bikes are defined as a "motorized bicycle". They are not subject to license, registration or insurance in the state of Ohio. However, your E-bike purchase was no doubt an expensive one. You'll probably want to protect your investment. And while you are not required to have E-bike insurance... you are subject to risk and liability while riding your E-bike. Accident, injury or theft of your E-bike may happen at the least opportune time.
