ALT Under the three-class system, in order to be classified as a bicycle rather than a moped, motorcycle or other vehicle, an ebike must have a saddle to sit on, operable pedals, plus all the characteristics of one of the following classes: Class 1: The motor is pedal-assist only, and stops providing assistance at 20 mph. Class 2: The motor can be operated by pedal-assist or a throttle, and stops providing assistance at 20 mph. Class 3: The motor is pedal-assist only, and stops providing assistance at 28 mph.
