In Hawaii last year they changed the law so low-powered ebikes (750 watt / pedals / 20 mph per federal law) are defined as "bicycles", so they can go anywhere a bike can go. Any ebike that doesn't meet that limit is a "moped" which can be banned from greenway by the counties. A new law was just enacted this year dealing with e-foot scooters. It gives the counties fairly broad powers to regulate their use (prior, City & County of Honolulu position was that they were classed as "mopeds").
