Collection: Class 1 (Pedal Assist)
Class 1 eBikes: Unlimited Trail Access & Natural Pedal Assist
If you want a bike that can go anywhere a traditional bicycle is allowed, our Class 1 eBikes are the gold standard. Regulated to provide power only while you pedal and capped at a top speed of 20 mph, these models are the most widely accepted on multi-use paths, state parks, and mountain bike trails. They offer the perfect blend of physical exercise and electric assistance without the complexity of a throttle.
The Class 1 Advantage
-
Maximum Trail Compatibility: Class 1 is the most "legal" category; these bikes are often permitted on non-motorized trails where Class 2 (throttle) or Class 3 (high speed) bikes are strictly prohibited.
-
Extended Battery Efficiency: Because the motor only engages when you provide input, Class 1 systems typically squeeze significantly more range out of every charge compared to throttle-heavy models.
-
Enhanced Rider Control: Without the sudden lurch of a throttle, power delivery is smooth and predictable—perfect for beginners or riders navigating technical terrain where precision is key.
Buyer's Note: Are Class 1 eBikes allowed on mountain bike trails?
In most jurisdictions, Class 1 eBikes are treated the same as traditional mountain bikes. This makes them the top choice for riders looking to explore national forests and local trail systems that have "eMTB" access. Always check local trail maps for specific regional regulations.
