• Class 3 provides assist when you pedal, up to 28 mph.

What type of bike do you want?

Consider motor power
Motor power is measured in watts (W) and range from 250W to 750W. E-bikes with higher watts offers better acceleration, climbing and hauling performance.

Consider battery capacity
A higher Wh number indicates greater battery capacity, which gives you more riding time between charges.
