It's kind of a grey area, I actually own a Electric Bike store on Long Island called Long Isalond Electric Bikes and I have yet to have a customer have legal trouble. There was a law developed in the 1980's making motorized bikes illegal, but that was before electrice bikes existed. The federal Law has since made a law declaring electric bikes with a top speed of 20 or under legal for use on public roads, but NY has not developed any new legislation.
