    My Experience Registering Three E-Bikes with the New Jersey MVC (First Day of Registration)

    What I want to know is how NJ will handle visitors from all the other states that don't issue ebike registrations?

    Washington State's new ebike laws just passed.

    Humans are tribal creatures. Throughout most of history, anybody not in your tribe was less than human and could / should be killed. We're trying to get past that, with varying degrees of success. Making fun of the other tribe is human nature, and better than actual fighting. Me, as a member...

    Rad January funding or close

    You do realize you replied to a post from last year? Since then, the company went bankrupt, has been acquired as detailed in a later post in this thread, and appears to be operating; bikes and parts are still available.

    How Often And How Long Are Class 3 E-Bikes Traveling At More Than 20 MPH?

    All new cars are easily capable of exceeding the speed limit on any road they're likely to encounter.

    How Often And How Long Are Class 3 E-Bikes Traveling At More Than 20 MPH?

    My Radster works that way. In class 3 mode (user selectable 1,2,3) the throttle maxes out at 20mph, but if you pedal you still get assist up to 28mph. I like that... I rarely touch the throttle when moving, but it's nice for quickly accelerating across an intersection or starting out uphill.

    How Often And How Long Are Class 3 E-Bikes Traveling At More Than 20 MPH?

    I rarely go much over 21-22 mph on level ground. Downhill I'll go faster if appropriate, there's one hill near my house where I can reach 28 or more if I push it. On the mixed use trails around my home (mostly old woods roads) I'm rarely going more than 10-15.
