Online Micromobility Safety Classes in Michigan

CourtCure’s Micromobility Safety course helps Michigan riders of e‑bikes, e‑scooters, and other small devices improve visibility, road awareness, and risk‑reduction skills. Choose a 2‑hour or 4‑hour option to match what a court, probation officer, attorney, employer, or school has asked you to complete—or to build your skills proactively. Michigan’s laws use specific terms like “electric bicycle” (Class 1, 2, or 3) and “electric skateboard” (commonly covering stand‑up e‑scooters), and local ordinances or park rules can add extra requirements. This page summarizes Michigan‑specific context so you know what to verify before enrolling. Because acceptance is determined by the requesting authority, please confirm the required hours, online format, deadline, and document needs in advance. When you’re ready, enroll directly on this page—course access and completion documentation are delivered through the same CourtCure system used nationwide for this topic.

Michigan law provides a clear framework for small electric devices that most riders think of as micromobility. Electric bicycles are defined by Class (1, 2, or 3) with a 750‑watt motor limit and labeling requirements. Class 3 e‑bike riders must meet additional rules: operators under age 18 must wear a bicycle helmet, and no one under 14 may operate a Class 3 (though a child under 14 may ride as a passenger on a Class 3 designed for passengers). Stand‑up e‑scooters are generally regulated under the term “electric skateboard.” These devices carry the same basic roadway duties as bicycles, with important differences: a person under 19 operating an electric skateboard must wear a crash helmet, only one rider is allowed at a time, and passing between lines of traffic is prohibited (you may pass only in an unoccupied lane as allowed by law). Michigan also sets visibility standards that apply to bicycles, electric skateboards, and certain other small devices operated on roadways at night: a white front light visible from at least 500 feet and a rear red reflector visible from 100 to 600 feet. Many riders also choose a red rear light for added conspicuity, even when a reflector is the minimum legal requirement. Where you may ride can change by location. The state code allows counties, cities, and townships to regulate use on sidewalks, paths, or particular streets, and the DNR separately governs e‑bike access on state‑managed trails and in parks. Because citations and referrals often stem from local rules (for example, a sidewalk restriction, park violation, or shared‑scooter operating zone), anyone taking a micromobility safety course for a Michigan matter should review the specific ordinance or agency rule involved and confirm what a court or probation office expects before enrolling.

Michigan does not publish a statewide micromobility safety course requirement. Requests for a class are typically made by a specific court, probation officer, attorney, school, or employer. Acceptance policies, minimum hours (2 or 4), delivery format (online/asynchronous), deadlines, and document requirements can differ by authority and by case. Before you enroll, confirm with the requesting authority that an online course like CourtCure’s Micromobility Safety (2 or 4 hours) is acceptable, what completion date is required, and what proof they need (for example, a completion certificate or other documentation). If you were cited under a local ordinance, also ask whether your city or county has any special conditions tied to that ordinance. CourtCure cannot guarantee acceptance by a particular authority.
