Class 2 Electric Bike Compliance Notice

Pursuant to California Vehicle Code (CVC §312.5), a Class 2 electric bicycle is defined as a bicycle equipped with a motor that may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle and is not capable of providing assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed of 20 miles per hour. The motor must not exceed 750 watts of power.

The electric bicycles designated as “Class 2” on this website are manufactured and configured to meet the above requirements at the time of sale. These bicycles are compliant with California’s electric bicycle classification standards when operated in their original factory settings.

Important Compliance Information:

• 
  Throttle Limitation: Motor power alone must not propel the bicycle beyond 20 mph.
  
• 
  Power Output: Motor wattage must not exceed 750 watts.
  
• 
  Modification Restrictions: Any modification that increases maximum throttle speed beyond 20 mph or increases motor output beyond 750 watts may reclassify the bicycle under California law and could subject the vehicle to registration, licensing, insurance, or other regulatory requirements.
  
• 
  Labeling: Class 2 bicycles are required under California law to bear a permanent label indicating classification, top assisted speed, and motor wattage.
  

While these bicycles are compliant with California law at the time of sale, electric bicycle laws vary by state and municipality. Customers outside of California are responsible for verifying and complying with applicable local regulations regarding e-bike classification, permitted use areas, helmet requirements, age restrictions, and roadway access.

Improper modification or operation outside of the Class 2 definition may result in the vehicle no longer being legally recognized as an electric bicycle. Riders are solely responsible for ensuring lawful operation within their jurisdiction.

Always operate responsibly and confirm that your intended use aligns with state and local regulations.
