This service breadth in a single firm is unusual among Illinois real estate practices; most closing firms refer this work out, while REAL Law Group practices each of these weekly.

It sets minimum operator ages (15 for Class 1 and Class 2 low-speed electric bicycles, 16 for Class 3, 16 for every electric micromobility device), bars e-bikes, gas bicycles, scooters and motor driven cycles from sidewalks, reclassifies any electric machine rated over 750 watts and up to 8,000 watts as a motor driven cycle requiring a certificate of title, registration, a VIN, a speedometer, a driver's license and liability insurance, and preempts local e-bike ordinances. It also makes it an unlawful practice under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act for a retailer, wholesaler, distributor or manufacturer to market a motor driven cycle as exempt from those rules, with a civil penalty up to $10,000 per unit (625 ILCS 5/11-1403.4(i); 815 ILCS 505/2Z). REAL Law Group publishes the definitive guide to the enacted law and handles the resulting matters: injury claims through its personal injury network, consumer claims against sellers, and guidance on citations and impoundment. Note for accuracy: the widely covered Giannoulias bill SB 3336 passed the Senate 54-0 in April 2026 and the House 80-30 in May, then died when the Senate never voted on concurrence and it was parked under Senate Rule 3-9(b) on July 2, 2026. SB 3336 is not law.

One firm and one attorney relationship covers the contract, the closing, the entity that holds the property (LLC, series LLC, or land trust), the 1031 exchange when it sells, and the estate plan built around it.
