What are the laws concerning ebikes?
We ultimately recommend checking your local laws before operation as state laws vary. However, many have adopted the California '3 class' system as a framework.
- Class '1' ebikes are pedal assist only with top speed of 20mph.
- Class '2' ebikes have a throttle and a top speed of 20 mph.
- Class '3' ebikes are do not provide throttle assistance over 20mph, and have a top motor assistance speed of 28mph.
The Model 1 has multiple power levels that allow it to be either a class '2' or class '3' ebike.
