Online Micromobility Safety Classes in North Dakota

If you received a referral to complete a safety class—or you simply want to ride smarter on North Dakota streets and paths—our Micromobility Safety course covers safer operation, visibility, roadway awareness, and responsible use of small mobility devices like bicycles, e‑bikes, and scooters. North Dakota law sets clear rules for riding and equipment, and many cities add local ordinances for sidewalks, paths, and scooters. This page summarizes key ND context so you can verify what your specific authority requires before you enroll. Choose the 2‑hour or 4‑hour option to match the hours you were assigned (or your learning goals), confirm acceptance with your court, probation officer, attorney, employer, or school, and get started online today.

Micromobility in North Dakota primarily centers on bicycles and electric bicycles (e‑bikes). State law places bicyclists under the traffic rules that apply to vehicle drivers, with bicycle‑specific provisions for lane position, group riding, lighting, and equipment. In 2021–2022 the Legislature added a three‑class framework for e‑bikes and required new e‑bikes sold in the state to carry a permanent label showing class, top assisted speed, and motor wattage. Class 3 e‑bikes must have a functioning speedometer, and riders under 18 operating Class 3 must wear a helmet. Unless a local government prohibits it, e‑bikes may use bicycle and multi‑use paths—local governments retain authority to make exceptions. ([ndlegis.gov](https://ndlegis.gov/cencode/t39c10-1.pdf)) North Dakota also adopted a bicycle “stop‑as‑yield” law: when approaching a stop sign on a two‑lane road, a bicyclist must slow and yield, stopping if required for safety, before proceeding. Riders must still come to a complete stop at certain multi‑lane intersections and when another vehicle is already stopped at the sign. These rules aim to reduce conflicts while keeping bicyclists predictable to drivers. ([ndlegis.gov](https://ndlegis.gov/cencode/t39c10-1.pdf)) Rules for devices other than e‑bikes—such as stand‑up electric scooters—are not harmonized statewide and are often handled by local ordinance. For example, Fargo’s code tightly limits where motorized scooters may operate (restricting most street use and prohibiting operation on central‑business‑district sidewalks and certain federally funded trails). The Fargo City Commission has also discussed whether to license shared scooter rentals. Availability and rules for shared devices therefore vary by city.

North Dakota’s Vision Zero initiative highlights pedestrians and bicyclists as vulnerable users and encourages visibility, predictable riding, and driver attentiveness to reduce severe crashes. If you plan to ride in state parks or on federal lands, check location‑specific policies—land managers may set separate e‑bike or device rules.

There is no known statewide requirement in North Dakota that a bicyclist, e‑bike, or small‑device rider complete a safety class. State statutes set operating rules and equipment standards but do not mandate a course. Acceptance of any voluntary or referral class is determined by the requesting authority (for example, a municipal or district court, probation officer, prosecutor, defense attorney, employer, school, or insurer). Before you purchase, confirm with your authority the provider, whether an online course is permitted, the required hours (2 or 4), your due date, and what completion document or affidavit they expect and how it must be submitted. If your case involves a local ordinance (such as a city scooter rule), verify that a general “micromobility safety” class is acceptable for that citation or diversion.
