Nearly every state that regulates eBikes by class uses the same three-tier system, first adopted by California in 2015 and now used in most of the country. Class 1 eBikes only assist while you pedal, cutting off at 20 mph. Class 2 eBikes add a throttle that can move the bike without pedaling, also capped at 20 mph. Class 3 eBikes are pedal-assist only but the motor keeps helping up to 28 mph, and many states require these bikes to carry a speedometer. Knowing your bike's class matters because it determines which trails and paths you can legally ride — Class 3 bikes are sometimes barred from multi-use paths that allow Class 1 and 2.
