Are e-Bikes allowed on this Ride?

Yes! Since this is a road ride, we adhere to the regulations outlined by California State Law. According to the law, Class 1 and 2 e-bikes are permitted to access bike paths, protected bike lanes, and designated bike routes. However, Class 3 e-bikes are prohibited by law from using bike paths or protected lanes, thus they are not allowed on these designated ride routes.

An electric bicycle is a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts. Three classes of electric bicycles have been established:

Class 1: A low-speed pedal-assisted bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when a speed of 20 mph is reached.

Class 2: A low-speed throttle-assisted electric bicycle equipped with a motor used exclusively to propel the bicycle and NOT capable of providing assistance when a speed of 20 mph is reached.

Class 3: A low-speed pedal-assisted electric bicycle equipped with a speedometer and a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when a speed of 28 mph is reached.

Riders must be 16 years old or older.

E-bicyclists must also wear a safety helmet.
