Class 1: 15mph max speed, pedal-assist only. I could be convinced 18mph makes more sense. Either way, this class would be intended to cover e-bikes used like normal bikes. That should cover most people just looking for an added boost, whether that be for group rides or hauling cargo. Allowed to use all existing bicycle infrastructure. Class 2: 25mph max speed, pedal assist or throttle. Intended to supplement or replace existing moped/50cc rules. Can use on street with minimal registration and no M endorsement. Class 3: Anything else. It's a motorcycle in the eyes of the law. Requires M endorsement and full registration, insurance, etc. Street only. Yes, I realize that likely makes my wife's Specialized a "motorcycle", as it provides boost to 28mph. It's overkill - I'd happily have its controller reprogrammed to cap at 15 or 18mph. EDIT - electric kick scooters, one wheels, etc should follow similar guidelines. Last edited by Alistair; 10-21-2024 at 11:12 AM. |
