What is a class 2 e-bike?
Class 2 electric bike, also known as an “electric bike with throttle,” is a type of electric bicycle that is equipped with a motor that can be activated by a throttle, similar to a motorcycle or scooter. This means that riders can use the throttle to power the bike without having to pedal.
Class 2 electric bikes are limited to a top speed of 20 miles per hour (mph) when using the throttle, and they also have pedals that can be used to propel the bike without the throttle. This class of electric bikes is considered a type of low-speed electric bicycle and is regulated similarly to Class 1 electric bikes.
