Class 3 is allowed, with 28mph (45kph, actually) when using pedal assist. I threw a larger chainring on my eBike to make maintaining 28mph easier and I just pedal everywhere.
minus-squareMangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoMost bike paths are class 1 at least where I am, I don’t think I’m going to pedal faster than 20 especially with a load of groceries. Even 28mph isn’t that fast when the roads I take to the store on a motorcycle are 45-60mph limits.
