Regulations for Electric Assist Bicycle
USA regulations allow a power-assisted or electric assist bicycle maximum speed of 20 mph for bicycles. At speeds greater than 20 mph, a powered bicycle is not longer considered a bicycle and is subject to scooter laws. The Ridekick™ power trailer has a maximum rated power of 500 watts and a motor speed capable of producing non-pedaling bike speeds up to 19 mph subject to certain conditions¹.
To operate a Ridekick™ electric assist bicycle in the United States, the user does not need a license or moped certificate. There is no age limit, and you can use a Ridekick power trailer on cycling paths and bike lanes. It conforms to most regulations for normal bicycles. However, local laws and regulations may vary from city to city and state to state: Ridekick International advises owners to check relevant regulations where you will be using the Ridekick™ power trailer.
