Sec. 1-140.15. Low-speed gas bicycle. A 2-wheeled or 3-wheeled device with fully operable pedals and a gasoline motor of less than one horsepower or 15 cubic centimeter displacement that is operated at speeds up to 28 of less than 20 miles per hour.

(Source: P.A. 103-706, eff. 1-1-25.)"; and

on page 55, by replacing lines 1 through 17 with the following:

"(a) A person may operate a low-speed gas bicycle only if the person is at least 16 years of age. A low-speed gas bicycle that is manufactured to accommodate passengers may not be operated by a person under the age of 18 with a passenger unless the passenger is a sibling, stepsibling, child, or stepchild of the operator.

(a-5) A person may operate a low-speed gas bicycle upon any highway, street, or roadway authorized for use by bicycles, including, but not limited to, bicycle lanes.

(a-10) A person may operate a low-speed gas bicycle upon any bicycle path unless the State agency with jurisdiction prohibits the use of low-speed electric bicycles or a specific class of low-speed gas bicycles on that bicycle path. The Department of Natural Resources is authorized to adopt administrative rules for the regulation of low-speed gas bicycles on any and all properties owned, managed, or leased by the Department of Natural Resources.

(b) A person may not operate a low-speed gas bicycle at a speed greater than 28 20 miles per hour upon any highway, street, or roadway.

(c) A person may not operate a low-speed gas bicycle on a sidewalk.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the provisions of this Article XV that apply to bicycles also apply to low-speed gas bicycles.

(e) No unit of local government, including a home rule unit, may regulate low-speed gas bicycles. This subsection (e) is a denial and limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution, and is an exercise of exclusive State power which may not be exercised concurrently by a home rule unit.".
