Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Class 1 ebike?
A Class 1 ebike provides assistance only when you're pedaling and stops helping at 20 mph. These bikes don't have throttles, making them the most widely accepted ebike type for shared paths and trails. Their pedal-assist-only design keeps them legally classified as bicycles in most areas.
How fast does a Class 1 ebike go?
Class 1 ebikes provide assistance up to 20 mph, after which the motor automatically stops helping. You can still pedal faster using your own power, just like on a regular bicycle. This speed limit is what legally distinguishes them from higher classes and helps them maintain bicycle classification.
Do you need a license for a Class 1 ebike?
No license is typically required for Class 1 ebikes in most states and cities. They're generally regulated as bicycles rather than motor vehicles, exempting them from licensing, registration, and insurance requirements. Always check your local laws, as some areas may have age restrictions even without licensing requirements.
What's the difference between Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 ebikes?
Class 1 ebikes are pedal-assist only with a 20 mph limit, making them the most widely accepted type on trails and paths. Class 2 ebikes add throttle capability (allowing motor use without pedaling) but maintain the same 20 mph limit. Class 3 ebikes are pedal-assist only but with higher speeds up to 28 mph, resulting in more restrictions on where they can be ridden.
