Anyone ride an electric bike?


 
I originally bought an E- Lux Sierra GT fold up e - bike for use when I was camping with the pop up trailer.
It folds up and fits under my tonneau cover on my truck.
E-Lux bike shop is only a few block away from where I live so there is built in customer service.
Then I bought two E-Lux Tahoe GT's for when whomever comes over and
wants to go for a cruise or a ride to the beach.
They all have Gel seats and a Suntour SP12 suspension seat post <<<< if you've have never heard or
seen one of these seat posts you'll be amazed how comfortable it makes the ride.

Now I'm looking at Sur Ron my friend has for sale, 50Mph....4 K no pedal assist on this one.;)

I'm into e-bikes now coming from a man that used to have10 Weber grills.hehe
 
My understanding is E Bikes (at least ones that haven't been "hot rodded" are legal on trails because they don't go over 20 mph or so.

They have to have pedals and go no faster than 28 MPH to be considered an e-bike around here.
28Mph on an e-bike is quite fast believe it or not and always wear a helmet.

Class 1 ebikes are pedal assist only and are limited to 20 mph (unless you pedal faster), Class 2 ebikes are the same as class 1 but have a throttle so you don’t have to pedal if you don’t want to (still limited to 20 mph and are sometimes disallowed on trails) and class 3 ebikes may or may not have a throttle and can go 28 mph with pedal assist. These are usually meant for higher speed commuting on streets or roads. The throttle, if it has a throttle, is limited to 20 mph by throttle only. Some jursidictions disallow class 3 ebikes on off road trails.

Like most things, sales of guns, alcohol etc. it varies state to state. As a general rule, you’re correct. That’s how it is here in PA and I agree with it. Even 20mph is too fast when there are others present in close proximity.
