Why couldn't the throttle couldn't be disabled once it is switched to Class 1 or Class 3?

Because it never is?

Driver facing cameras are supposed to become law pretty soon in the US. Insurance companies paid off the politicians for that one. There is an uprising to repeal it. We shall see.

Oy!

I admit I can't quite understand it. So you are happily riding on the throttle with your feet stationary on the pedals in Class 2. Then you click to switch to Class 3. Will the throttle be disabled? I do not think so! Throttle and 28 mph makes it a motorized bicycle.

On my Radster, I don't think it can be switched while in motion. Class 1 disables the throttle, and class 2 works like you'd expect (throttle to 20 mph). In class 3, throttle will still take you to 20 mph but no more; to go any faster you have to pedal, and pedal assist cuts out at 28 mph. The Radster also has a fourth setting which tops out at 25 mph for NYC riders.

That sounds proper!
