In Ohio, electric bikes are classified into three categories: Class 1 with pedal assistance, Class 2 with throttle assistance, and Class 3 with higher speeds.
Class 1 electric bikes require the rider to pedal to engage the motor, allowing a top speed of 20 mph. They are legal on all paved areas for regular bikes.
Class 2 electric bikes enable riders to start riding without pedaling, maintaining a maximum speed of 20 mph. Their legal usage is similar to Class 1 bikes.
Class 3 electric bikes provide motor assistance up to 28 mph, with limitations under Ohio law. Their classification influences required gear and riding permissions.
