Online Micromobility Safety Classes in Georgia

Riding an e‑bike, scooter, or other small mobility device in Georgia comes with real responsibilities—and local nuances. This online Micromobility Safety course helps you build practical skills in visibility, positioning, and risk reduction so you can ride more confidently on Georgia streets, paths, and campus areas. Georgia’s traffic code now recognizes Class 1/2/3 e‑bikes and has rules for EPAMDs (Segway‑type devices). Cities like Atlanta also set specific limits for shareable scooters and e‑bikes, including sidewalk and nighttime restrictions. Because diversions, court referrals, and employer policies vary, always confirm acceptance details with the authority that asked you to take a class. Choose the 2‑ or 4‑hour option as directed, complete the course online, and use your completion documentation as instructed by your referring authority.

Micromobility in Georgia spans pedal bicycles, electric‑assisted bicycles (e‑bikes), shared e‑scooters and e‑bikes, and electric personal assistive mobility devices (EPAMDs). The state has a detailed e‑bike framework adopted in 2019 that uses the common Class 1/2/3 system. Class 1 and 2 e‑bikes (up to 20 mph assist) may use bicycle and shared‑use paths unless a local agency or state manager posts a restriction. Class 3 e‑bikes (pedal‑assist up to 28 mph) are limited to roadways and to paths within or adjacent to a roadway unless specifically permitted; riders must be at least 15 and wear a bicycle helmet. Georgia does not require a driver’s license or registration for e‑bikes. EPAMDs (for example, Segway‑type devices) are treated differently from bicycles: they may operate on sidewalks where a 48‑inch clear path is preserved, and operators on sidewalks have pedestrian‑like duties; minimum‑age and equipment rules apply in that part of the code. For visibility, Georgia requires bicycles (and e‑bikes, which are treated as bicycles) used at night to have a white front light and either a red rear light or an approved red rear reflector, each visible from 300 feet. Georgia also updated its passing law in 2021: when overtaking a bicycle, drivers must change lanes when feasible, or slow appropriately and provide at least three feet when a lane change isn’t possible. Local rules matter. Atlanta, for example, regulates shareable dockless devices (like rental scooters and e‑bikes), prohibits scooter riding on sidewalks, and imposes a nighttime “no ride” window for rented devices. Several Georgia municipalities also maintain bicycle‑on‑sidewalk restrictions or downtown‑specific rules. Because local ordinances can change, riders should always check city or campus rules where they plan to ride, especially for sidewalk use, curfews, parking/locking zones, and speed limits.

There is no single statewide program in Georgia that universally requires or approves a “micromobility safety” course. Courts, prosecutors, probation officers, schools, and employers set their own conditions. Some Georgia cities and courts have offered diversion or education options related to bicycling or shared devices; others may not. Before you purchase, confirm with the person or agency that asked you to take a class: the provider they will accept, whether online self-paced delivery is allowed, the number of hours (choose 2 or 4 as directed), your due date, and what completion document they need. If you’re addressing a citation or diversion agreement, ask whether any local content or in-person component is required. Keep a copy of all enrollment and completion records for your submission.
