If you’re new to the world of electric bikes, you might be wondering how fast an electric bike can go. In general, electric bikes are faster than pedal-only bikes and regulations vary from location to location.
Flyer™ electric bikes have 5 levels of pedal assist: the higher the level, the more motor output to augment your natural pedaling. It's like having the wind at your back on demand. But exactly how fast can our electric bikes go? As a Class 2 eBike, Flyer™ electric bikes can travel up to 20 mph in throttle-only mode or with pedal assist, putting the “fly” in Flyer™. This is the maximum speed that of motor assistance for this class. Riders can easily switch between modes to keep up with traffic and champion their commute.
Flyer™ electric bikes have a 500W motor. This powerful motor ensures high performance, maximum efficiency, and a smooth ride. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Act, low-speed electric bicycles used as vehicles must have motors less than 750W and top speeds 20 mph or less. Always be sure to check your national and local biking guidelines before riding. For more tips, check out our guide to safe riding.
