eBike Class Regulations:

The federal Consumer Product Safety Act defines a "low speed electric bicycle" as a two or three wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals, a top speed when powered solely by the motor under 20mph (32km/h) and an electric motor that produces less than 750W(1.01hp). The rules for e-bikes on public roads, sidewalks, and pathways are under state jurisdiction, and vary. Electric bikes for competition are known as “pedelecs” or pedal electrics. The bike utilizes pedaling and electric power. Pedelecs come in many varieties and power outputs and most are listed as classes of e-bikes. The Consumer Products Safety Council has created their definition and generically, for USA Cycling e-bike events, the following Class 1 e-bike definition is adopted:

•No throttle•Freely operable pedaling system: rear wheel drive train of pedals, crank, chain and gear system.

•750watt or less motor (manufacturer’s label of compliance is the minimum standard)

•Motor engages only with pedaling

•Motor assistance cut offat 20 mph(32 kmh)

Additionally, the following options for e-bikes in regulated competitive events, are allowable.
