    Larry Pizzi of EBCC discusses Electric Bike Laws and Classes at Interbike

    1) Class 2 doesn't allow for both because it is just making a distinction between the two types of bike. 2) I don't think PAS 28 mph is considered safe, it is just considered a bicycle that should be on bike paths adjacent to roads and not causing a hazard to others using dedicated bike paths...

    Larry Pizzi of EBCC discusses Electric Bike Laws and Classes at Interbike

    I think we early adopters are bound to face some changes as the market and regulations catch up.

    Larry Pizzi of EBCC discusses Electric Bike Laws and Classes at Interbike

    I get what you mean. I don't know how they intend to handle bikes that were made before the law was enacted. I'll email Larry and see if he knows.

    Larry Pizzi of EBCC discusses Electric Bike Laws and Classes at Interbike

    States are able to make their own laws regarding motor vehicles. CA and NY tend to be trend setters in many areas and other states may follow. CA emissions requirements on motor vehicles comes to mind. CA has traditionally had the most strict emission requirements in the nation. Now new...

    Larry Pizzi of EBCC discusses Electric Bike Laws and Classes at Interbike

    If your bike is equipped with a throttle and it surpasses 20mph it is illegal based on federal law NOW. Why are you mad at Mr. Pizzi for pushing for a less lenient California law that at least makes a provision for speed pedelecs. The CA law does allow for a throttle bike, just not passed 20 mph.

    What do you all think of the 2016 IZIP models? Anyone going to upgrade?

    The Speed Free-for-All

    I'm personally not in favor of a throttle. I feel an ebike should be mostly a bike. Just like they roll in Europe. There is a site called Electricridereview which is more geared towards the electric "moped" that many seem to favor. Perhaps Court should set up a community on that site as well...

    The Speed Free-for-All

    A line needs to be drawn somewhere. That line for me is 20mph for throttle bikes and 28 mph for speed pedelecs. I am in favor of the CA law proposal that makes different classes of bikes that includes these speed pedelecs. I am reasonable fit and an ebike that is limited to 20 mph is almost...

    The Speed Free-for-All

    I don't believe that Prodeco is the model citizen that obeys the 20 mph limit exclusively. Don't they still make the Outlaw? How are they that much different than other manufactures who make some 20mph+ speed pedelecs other than them saying "off road only." Which is kind of a joke because that...

    EBR is Everywhere

    When I am trolling the internet looking at website that sell/manufacture ebikes it seems that MANY of these sites include EBR reviews to promote their product(s). I was wondering if Court is getting any props/ money for this. I sure hope so!! example...

    27 gears no longer available on Xduro Trekking

    It seems like the new trend on mountain bikes is to go with either a 2x9 or 1x10. With an ebike 27 gears my not be necessary.

    What kind of headlight do you use (or recommend)?

    Thanks PowerMe, I should have seen that for myself. Interesting that I've looked at this light 4 times on Amazon since yesterday. The price of it has ranged from $2 yesterday to $9 this morning to $18 now. Very strange!! I should have snagged it for the $2 I saw it for yesterday!!!!!

    What kind of headlight do you use (or recommend)?

    What battery do you use with this? Do you have it wired up with your bike's battery? It seems to good\chesp to be true.

    Schwalbe Tire Sale - July, 4th & 5th

    Good find! I recently bought tires from biketiresdirect.com . It seems like the same site. I wonder why there are two different, almost identical websites.

    Nitro 48v battery on Neo 36v bikes.

    Thanks for the information! I wonder though if your bike is out if true or something to cause the "wobble". I generally ride my Carbon at about 24 to 26 mph, but it feels great up to 30+ on downhills with strong pedalling.
