Yes, you read that right! California’s latest legislation is about to change the game for e-bike riders, and it’s leaving Class 1 and Class 3 bikes in the dust. So, what’s the deal? Let’s break it down before you panic. What’s Happening? California’s SB 1271 is shaking things up by redefining what qualifies as an electric bike. If this bill becomes law, Class 1 and Class 3 e-bikes—those that can’t resist sneaking in a little throttle-only action—are out. They’ll no longer fit California’s definition of an “electric bicycle.” The new law says e-bikes in these categories must not be capable of propelling the bike solely by throttle. Pedal-assist only, people! If you’re cruising along without moving your legs, you’re in trouble with the new rules. But What About Class 2 E-Bikes? Phew! You can relax. Class 2 e-bikes are safe from this new restriction. These bikes allow throttle-powered riding up to 20 mph, meaning you can still enjoy that motor-assist without breaking a sweat or the law. Plus, pedal-assist remains an option, making them the versatile, rule-abiding heroes we all need right now. What Else Is Changing? The bill brings a few other changes to ensure safety and regulation, like: New Testing Standards: Along with UL 2849 certification (which all our bikes already have, thank you very much), there’s now an additional standard, EN 15194, that applies to e-bikes and their batteries. Advertising Crackdown: Selling or marketing e-bikes that can exceed 20 mph on motor power alone? Not anymore! This bill puts the brakes on that. No Continuous Power Limits: Manufacturers can breathe a sigh of relief here—no extra power restrictions are being added to the federal 750-watt limit. So, Why Stick with Class 2 Folding E-Bikes? At Qualisports, we’re all about the compact, folding e-bike life, and our entire fleet is Class 2, meaning you can still enjoy throttle-powered rides without running afoul of the new law. With speeds from 16 mph to 20 mph, our bikes offer the perfect balance of power and control. Here’s why our folding e-bikes are the ultimate choice: Foldable and Portable: Need a bike that fits your city lifestyle? Our e-bikes fold down easily, making them perfect for cramped apartments, public transport, or even tossing in the back of your car for a weekend getaway.

Plus, they’re incredibly easy to carry and store, making them the ideal choice for on-the-go riders and Rvers. Certified Safe: All our e-bikes come with UL 2849 certification by SGS, so you know you’re riding a bike that meets the highest safety standards. Stay Ahead of the Curve California’s new e-bike law might seem daunting, but rest assured that Class 2 e-bikes remain compliant and functional under the new regulations. Lightweight, foldable, and versatile, these bikes continue to offer a practical solution for many riders. If you're navigating the evolving landscape of e-bike regulations, it's good to know that there are options that meet the new standards while still delivering reliable performance.

What is ‘UL’? Currently, UL is one of the few organizations in the world that has devised a set of safety standards for electric bike safety. In most US states, UL certifications are not mandatory (till now) for E-bike sellers to sell e-bikes. Most manufacturers choose to avoid the cost (significant cost) of this certification. UL 2849 and UL 2271 certifications play an important role in ensuring E-bike safety by evaluating the reliability and performance of the electrical systems and batteries.

E-bikes are getting more and more, each state recognizes e-bikes in their own way and the e-bike regulations that go with it. As riders, we need to abide by on a state-by-state basis.  There are thirty-six states have define e-bikes within class 1, 2,3 , while other states place them in a non-tiered category. If you want a better understand what this means, we also have an article linked below.   Learn more: Differences between e-bike class 1, 2, 3 Before talking about electric bike laws by state, let’s look into Federal laws first.   FEDERAL LAW Federal laws surrounding electric bikes have more to do with federal lands than it does the states. This includes National Parks, Bureau of Land Management, and National Forests. The Forest Service and the National Parks Services prohibit the use of ebikes on trails and any natural surfaces. Their rule of thumb is, wherever motorized vehicles are prohibited, so are electric bicycles. As for the BLM, ebikes are allowed on trails limited to bicycles and non-motorized travel only if a BLM Manager has issued a written decision authorizing the use of an ebike in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This means if you ever plan to ride your ebike on certain trails or through national parks, you’ll need to confirm regulations. When it comes to age limit there is no Federal law that specifies a required age. This is deferred to state legislation and depends entirely on the state. Most states that recognize the three class system require riders to be at least 16 years of age. In this regard, we recommend consulting with local regulations to confirm the safe and legal age for riding different class ebikes.   EBIKE CLASS CATEGORIES Below are the three classes that are used in most states.  Class 1 This is an e-bike equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour, the assistance will be cut. Class 2  This is an e-bike that provides assistance by using both PAS and throttle, this means you could use the assistance directly, no need to pedaling first. And top assistance speed is limited to 20 mph. Class 3  This is an e-bike that provides assistance by using both PAS and throttle (In some states, the throttle may not be allowed), but class 3 e-bikes can reach a top assistance speeds of 28 mph.   STATE LAWS FOR EBIKES Now, let’s talk about electric bicycles laws by state. While 36 states recognize the three-class system regarding e-bikes, each is permitted to set their own regulations accordingly. This means there are some differences between them. Let’s look at three of Quaisport’s most populated states to see how laws on electric bikes differ in this regard. California California recognizes an electric bike as a bicycle that is equipped with pedals and a 750W motor or less. California requires anyone who operates an e-bike to be at least 16 years of age. In California it is also mandatory to wear when riding an ebike, and prohibits the transportation of passengers. That means two people cannot be on the same bicycle that is not meant for that kind of use. California also permits the use of electric bikes in the bike lanes only if it is authorized by local authorities or ordinances. California exempts all e-bike classes from motor vehicle financial responsibility, such as driver’s license, registration fees, and license plate requirements. Florida Similar to California, Florida uses the three class system and recognizes e-bikes as bicycles. This means that riders, and owners of an e-bike are exempt from financial responsibilities such as driver’s license, registration, title certificates and other motor vehicle related fees. Electric bicycles are allowed, but not limited to, streets, highways, roadways, shoulders, bicycle lanes, and multi use paths. Children under the age of 16 are required by law to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle, including an electric bike, on a public roadway or bike path. It’s also recommended that children have adult supervision while riding an electric bike, as they may not have the same level of judgment, experience, or physical ability as adults. New York In New York, similarly to the above states, recognize e-bikes in the three-class system and allows the use of e-bikes on certain streets and highways. Electric bicycle regulations in the state allow them to be operated on highways with a speed limit of 30 mph or less, and on sidewalks except when authorized by local law or ordinances. Certain municipalities can further regulate the time, place and manner of operation. While there is no age limit for the uses of electric bicycles in New York, children under the age of 14 are required by law to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle, including an electric bike, on a public roadway or bike path. Similarly to Florida, it’s recommended that children have adult supervision while riding an electric bike, as they may not have the same level of judgment, experience, or physical ability as adults. Other States Using The Three-Class System: The following 32 states also use the three-class system when it comes to e-bike classification. However, similarly to the four states above, the laws may differ slightly depending on the county or city you live in. To ensure you continue to ride safely out there on the road, contact local or state authorities to learn more about the electric bike rules surrounding e-bike legislation near you. Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming STATES NOT USING '3-CLASSES' While a majority of the 50 states recognize e-bikes in a similar way, fourteen of them use unique definitions to classify e-bikes different from the three-class system. In states like Massachusetts, for example, require license and registration in order to operate an e-bike. In other states, like South Carolina, e-bikes are considered “motorized vehicles'' and are subject to all traffic laws. If you live in one of these states below, contact local or state authorities to find out more surrounding ebike laws so that you can continue to ride safely. Alaska In Alaska, ebikes are categorized as “motor-driven cycles”. This means it is necessary to have a license in order to operate one. However, the state does not currently require registration or insurance. The age limit is 14 and are prohibited on public sidewalks and bike trails. Delaware In Delaware, the laws and rules regarding traditional bicycles also apply to ebikes. This means ebikes are allowed on paths and sidewalks. In addition, there is a max speed of 20 mph and a motor under 750W. While there is no age requirement in this state, we recommend parents or guardians to use their best judgment if allowing minors to operate them, since electric bicycles have powerful motors, can reach high top speeds, and generally weigh more than traditional bicycles. Hawaii In Hawaii, electric bikes are considered "low-speed electric bikes" whose assisted top speed cannot exceed 20 mph on paved surfaces. All ebike owners are required to register and pay a fee of $30 at any city hall satellite locations or the state business registration units in Honolulu. You must also be at least 18 years old to register. Anyone 15 years of age or older can operate an ebike as long as it is registered to a family member. Kansas The state of Kansas prohibits ebikes on interstates and county highways but allows the use of them on city streets and bike paths. Kentucky In Kentucky, the same rules of the road apply to both traditional bicycles and electric bicycles. This means it is acceptable to ride on sidewalks and other pathways. Massachusetts In Massachusetts, ebikes are considered "motorized bicycles" and only recognizes Class 1 and Class 2 ebikes. Since there is a motor attached to the bike, all riders must have a license and registration for the bike. Ebikes are not allowed to be ridden on public sidewalks and bike paths. Montana Montana recognizes ebikes as bicycles with a motor attached. They are legal to use on bike paths and roadways so long as they do not exceed a speed of 20 mph. Nebraska In Nebraska, ebikes are allowed on bike paths and sidewalks. There is also no minimum age required to use an electric bike, however we recommend parents and guardians to use their best discretion when it comes to the use of ebikes because of the powerful motor, top speed 20 mph and 28mph, and weight. New Mexico In New Mexico, ebikes are considered "mopeds", meaning riders are required to have license and insurance, and are not allowed on public sidewalks in New Mexico. The use of ebikes on bike paths is not determined at a state level and is subject to city or county ordinances. Riders are encouraged to contact their local governments for information regarding ebike usage on designated bike paths. North Carolina In North Carolina, it is legal to ride an ebike on all bike paths, bike lanes, sidewalks, and roadways and public highways with a speed limit of less than 25 mph. All ebikes are expected to yield to pedestrians and traditional bicycles. Oregon In Oregon, electric bikes cannot exceed a speed limit of more than 20mph. This means that only up to Class II are they allowed on flat surfaces, meaning you can switch between the usage of pedal assist or throttle. They are also prohibited to have an output that is more than 1,000W. Pennsylvania In Pennsylvania, ebikes are operable on streets only if they meet the following conditions: - The rider is at least 16 years of age. - Must includes operable pedals. - Weighs no more than 100 pounds. - Has no more than three wheels. - Has a motor that does not exceed 750W. - Does not exceed a top speed of 20 mph. Rhode Island In Rhode Island, similarly to Hawaii and Massachusetts, all ebike riders are required to have a valid driver’s license to ride on public roads. The ebike cannot exceed a top speed of 25 mph from the output of the motor. South Carolina In South Carolina, ebikes lack certain categorization, and are therefore considered “motorized vehicles'' and are subject to similar traffic laws. If the ebike has an output of 750W or less, they are exempt form the definition of “moped” and are not subject to the same requirements, meaning riders do not need to have a driver’s license and the bike does not have to be registered. For further information, consult your local authority or agency to see whether ebikes are allowed on bike paths and other roadways. Washington, D.C. In Washington, D.C. an electric bike is subject to the same laws for traditional bicycles. They are defined as a “motorized vehicle” as long as it has a maximum speed of 20mph and can be operated by pedals and motor.   THE “MOVE OVER” LAW What is the "Move Over" law? It’s a new law that has recently gone into effect for 2023. It requires drivers to slow down and move over and create a 3-foot buffer when approaching cyclists. Among the 34 states that have passed this law, California has made a big push to promote the safety of bikers statewide. Double-check to see how this new law applies to you by consulting with your local legislations!   A FINAL STATE-MENT Understanding ebike legality and all the rules for electric bikes in your area can help protect yourself and others. This can promote ebike safety best practices and keep you riding happy! Hopefully you have all the information you need to go out there and have as much fun as you possibly can on your ebike, while still abiding by your electric bicycle laws by state. Furthermore, it’s important to remember that rules and regulations per state are subject to change. Visit People for Bikes for the latest information. Should you have any more questions, or are unsure of something, contact your local authorities on ebike regulations. We hope you have the ride of your life!

Electric bicycles, also known as e-bikes, have gained popularity in recent years due to their convenience and eco-friendliness. However, with the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, concerns have arisen about whether machines will eventually take control of these bikes. In this blog post, we will examine the potential for AI to control e-bikes and the societal implications of this technology. The Current State of E-Bikes E-bikes are currently powered by electric motors that assist the rider's pedaling. They have a range of approximately 20-50 miles per charge and can reach speeds of up to 28 mph. E-bikes have already begun to disrupt the traditional bicycle industry and are being utilized by commuters, delivery drivers, and leisure riders alike. The Potential for AI Control As AI technology continues to advance, it is feasible that e-bikes could eventually be controlled entirely by machines. This would require sensors and algorithms that monitor the rider's movements and adjust the bike's speed and direction accordingly. While this may seem like science fiction, some companies are already developing autonomous e-bikes.  The Benefits of AI-Controlled E-Bikes There are several potential advantages to having AI-controlled e-bikes. Firstly, it could enhance biking safety by reducing the risk of accidents caused by human error. Secondly, it could make biking more accessible to people with disabilities or those who lack confidence in riding alone. Additionally, AI-controlled e-bikes could optimize routes based on traffic patterns and weather conditions, making them more efficient and reducing congestion on roads and bike paths. The Risks of AI-Controlled E-Bikes However, there are also risks associated with AI-controlled e-bikes. One concern is the potential for hacking or malfunctioning, which could lead to accidents or intentional harm. Another risk is the loss of control and autonomy for riders. If e-bikes are completely controlled by machines, riders may feel like they have no say in how the bike operates or where it takes them, leading to a loss of freedom and enjoyment in biking. In conclusion, while the concept of AI-controlled e-bikes may seem far-fetched, it is a possibility that we should consider as technology advances. There are both potential benefits and risks to this type of technology, and it is important to carefully evaluate them before fully embracing it. Ultimately, the decision of whether to adopt AI-controlled e-bikes will depend on our societal values and priorities, such as safety, efficiency, autonomy, or something else entirely.

We have been enduring the so-called hard days after the striking of Covid and the unexpected catastrophic climate. Technical recession in the economy, consistently rising energy bills, and drought are already parts of our daily life. At this moment, we have to consider taking every single step to control our life consumption. WHY E-BIKES? Why not e-bikes? When you are struggling out of the long line of cars, the soaring gas price, and even the grinding parking, you may need to consider how to hold back your annoyance smoothly. For the E-bike journey, plenty of reasons stand for it. Chill out. We are not persuading you to ditch your cars and turn to e-bikes solely. What we do is to show you another attitude and solution towards commuting or living. Though it was not your first choice for daily transport till now, considering its contribution to global sustainability, we suggest you take a trial on it.   A small change means a big contribution to the blue planet Vehicles powered by unsustainable energies often produce dangerous chemicals like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon, which are also the pathogenic substances of some human diseases, such as tuberculosis and asthma. With the advancing technology of rechargeable and recyclable batteries, we can not only enhance the performance of e-bikes but also improve resource utilization. Therefore, there is no more waste in electric bikes. Upon the ride, each mile you pass would save around half a kilogram of carbon dioxide emission compared to car driving.  According to NOAA, July 2022 average global surface temperature was the sixth warmest for July since international records began in 1880. Most of the contiguous U.S. had warmer-than-average record-warm temperatures last month, marking this the third-warmest July in the lower 48 states. If we do not take any measures now, the record will definitely be refreshed one by one. However, once we hop on our e-bikes, we will significantly reduce the harmful fumes produced by vehicles and industries. To avoid more air and noise pollution, you can pick up an electric bike that fits you well, which will help sustainable development.   More convenience and benefits in such a challenging period Since the outbreak of COVID-19, most people have been having difficulties of commuting, especially on public transport. Restrictions like social distance will only make your commute longer and harder. Plus, with the soaring gasoline price that has risen to $4.599 a gallon on the day and even higher in the future, a portable and eco-friendly e-bike can be a good investment. Even if some people use a mixture of e-bikes and cars, it can save them a little fortune in the long run. In addition, with a light but powerful e-bike loaded with advanced PAS technology, riders can reach farther places without soaking their clothes. And compared to average bikes, you do not need to worry about the time cost. You can easily reach your destination on time with a light pedal or twist of the throttle.  The French government has released the latest scheme to provide up to €4000 subsidy for those families who plan to purchase eco-friendly folding E-bikes. President Biden issued the Inflation Reduction Act which covers $375 billion for the climate change fight. With increasing government support, it is the best time to choose E-bike for the future.   WHY QUALISPORTS USA?

Last update time: 20/4/2023 In order to protect the environment, build cleaner cities, and improve the quality of resident's life, we should drive less and exercise more. Electric bicycles are the perfect choice for those drivers who are not too far away from their destinations. Also, it is a good choice for those who take their children to school and won't get stuck in traffic jams. Electric bikes can provide fast and efficient personal transportation. And most important, the rebate programs many US states have launched, can help reduce the cost of some expensive e-bikes, and let electric bikes more affordable to anyone than ever before. Looking for high quality electric bike in USA? Click here. When a national electric bike subsidy looked likely to last year, but finally failed. The good thing is, there are cities and states picked up. Vermont is the first state who launched the incentive program for electric bikes in the US. I think this is the exactly way how money should be spent, If you want to make efforts to invest in your state, by improving roads, improving resident's health and improving lives, be environmentally friendly, invest in transport like electric bikes, electric scooters will be a good choice. Most states adopt the same class 1,2,3 e-bike laws, so make sure you are aware of e-bike's class before purchasing an electric bicycle.   Quick look for e-bike rebates by states:   Texas                     California                      Colorado                   Connecticut Hawaii                   Massachusetts             Ohio                           Virginia New York              Oklahoma                     Rhode Island              Vermont Oregon                 Tennessee   Texas This state didn't have any statewide programs yet.

The total amount of incentive is $6 million for the first two years, and $2 million of that would be used for rebating the low-income resident. The original bill would have funded a total of 5,000 rebates while the new bill can now fund double, about 10,000 rebates. And not required you own the electric bike for at least one year anymore. By the way, e-bike accessories purchased within the same transaction, such as a helmet or light, or lock, can also be covered by the rebate.   Tennessee There is no statewide program in this state, but Nashville does have programs in play consider a resolution dedicating $1 million of federal COVID founds for electric bike rebates.
