Overview
Electric bikes, also known as e-bikes, are bicycles with an integrated electric motor not exceeding 750 watts of power. Whether you are commuting to work, or taking in the sights around town, an e-bike is a great way to get around.
E-bikes fall into three different classes:
- Class 1 e-bike is a low speed, pedal assisted bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reached 20 mph.
- Class 2 e-bike is a low speed, throttle assisted bicycle equipped with a motor that may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle, and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reached 20 mph.
- Class 3 e-bike is a pedal assisted electric bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches 28 mph. Class 3 e-bikes ARE NOT ALLOWED on any City trails.
