BOISE – The City of Boise’s emergency ordinance, effective July 1, 2026, now requires high-powered e-motorbikes, those 750 watts or above or capable of 28 mph or more, to be licensed, registered, and insured within city limits. This city action does not change Idaho statute: e-bicycles and e-scooters remain untitled under state law.
DMV offices anticipate seeing more customers seeking to title and register these vehicles. They will need ownership documents, a VIN inspection, and a notarized motorbike conversion affidavit. If they lack proof of ownership, they must follow Idaho’s bonded title process.
