Electric bikes (e-bikes) are rapidly becoming popular as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional bikes and cars. However, many riders are curious about how fast an e-bike can go and what factors influence its speed. In this comprehensive guide, we'll cover the maximum speed of e-bikes, explore the legal speed limits in various U.S. states, and provide valuable tips for choosing the right e-bike based on speed and legal restrictions.

E-bikes are divided into three distinct classes, each with its own speed limit. Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are typically capped at 20 mph (32 km/h), while Class 3 bikes can reach up to 28 mph (45 km/h). These regulations are crucial for ensuring safety on public roads and bike paths. However, speed limits can vary significantly by state, with different local laws governing where e-bikes can be ridden and how fast they can travel.

Factors such as motor power, terrain, rider weight, and tire size also play a role in determining how fast an e-bike can go. While some riders may attempt to modify their e-bikes for higher speeds, it is important to stay within legal limits to avoid fines and ensure safety.

For those seeking peace of mind, we highly recommend purchasing UL-certified e-bikes, which adhere to strict safety standards. By choosing a UL-certified e-bike, you ensure that your ride is secure and compliant with safety regulations.

Whether you’re looking to commute, explore the outdoors, or enjoy a leisurely ride, understanding the factors that influence e-bike speed will help you choose the perfect model for your needs.

California’s new e-bike regulations, effective January 2025, redefine what qualifies as an e-bike, addressing concerns over high-performance models that exceed legal speed and power limits. The law stipulates that e-bikes capable of reaching speeds over 20 mph or with motors exceeding 750 watts will no longer be classified as e-bikes. These changes aim to ensure that such high-performance bikes are subject to appropriate regulations, improving safety on public roads and bike lanes. Riders must stay informed to ensure their e-bikes comply with the new rules, as non-compliant models may require registration as mopeds or motorcycles.

If this is your first time purchasing an e-bike, we recommend considering one with UL certification. While not mandatory, choosing a UL-certified e-bike ensures that the bike has undergone thorough safety testing, especially for its battery and electronic components. Since the battery is the core of an e-bike, it's essential to select one that meets high safety standards. UL certification helps minimize risks such as fire hazards and electrical malfunctions, giving you peace of mind and ensuring a safe, enjoyable ride for you and your family.
