the 3 classes of ebikes

Class 1

A great beginner eBike. The motor kicks in only when you pedal and stops helping at 20 mph. There is no throttle, and you can ride these bikes on streets and most off-road bike paths. These bikes tend to be the most affordable.

Class 3

These bikes have the most petalassisting power and are popular with the daily commuter crowd. They have a max speed of 28 mph. While they are more expensive, if you plan to use your eBike to commute, run errands and haul cargo, it may be worth the investment. It's important to note that these bikes are not allowed on off-road trails.

Class 2

Class 2 bikes also offer a pedalassist mode up to 20 mph as well as a purely throttle-powered mode (so, no peddling required). Because of the throttle, these bikes are allowed on only some off-road trails.
