"An electric bicycle is defined as a bicycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor with an output of less than 750 watts. The bicycle must also be less than 36 inches wide."
"Class 1 Ebike provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases assistance at 20 mph. Class 2 Ebike can be throttle-assisted but also stops assistance at 20 mph."
"Class 3 Ebike, applicable in cities with a population of one million or more, allows throttle assistance up to 25 mph, differing from other states' regulations."
"Riders do not need a license to operate an Ebike in New York State, provided it meets the state's definition and classification criteria."
