What is the maximum legal speed for riding an ebike?

by cirqbikes 08 Jan 2024

The legal top speed of an electric bike (ebike) can vary depending on the country, state or province, and even the local municipality where you are situated. In the United States, federal law, for instance, establishes the maximum assisted speed for Class 1 and Class 2 ebikes at 20 mph (32 km/h).

However, regulations and restrictions may differ based on the class of ebike you are operating. Generally, Class 1 and Class 2 ebikes are permitted on bike paths and multi-use trails where other bicycles are allowed. Class 3 ebikes may be subject to additional regulations, such as the requirement for a helmet or the inclusion of a speed limiter.

It's crucial to review the specific regulations in your area to ensure compliance with local laws. This is essential for your safety and to avoid any legal complications. Moreover, it's advisable to prioritize safety and ride responsibly, even if your ebike is capable of higher speeds.
