What Are Class 1 E-Bikes?
Electric bikes classified as class 1 only have a motor that produces power when the user pedals. This means that no throttle can apply power while a rider is coasting. Additionally, the top motor-assisted speed is 20 mph. Class 1 e-bikes are adaptable and closely match how a non-motorized bicycle feels and how its power is delivered. They are the category of e-bikes that are least likely to be subject to municipal regulations.
