Michigan recognizes three classes of electric bicycles based on how the motor operates and its maximum assisted speed:
🚲 Class I: Pedal-assist only, with motor assistance up to 20 MPH.
🚲 Class II: Throttle-assisted, with motor assistance up to 20 MPH, even when you’re not pedaling.
🚲 Class III: Pedal-assist only, with motor assistance up to 28 MPH.
All three classes may be ridden on roads where traditional bicycles are permitted.
