Law enforcement claims they cannot distinguish between class 1, 2, or 3. This claim contradicts state law mandating e-bikes to be labeled. So pedals or no pedals, 750 or 1750 watts, they are all e-bikes. Trekalized focus groups suggested that reasonable old people speeds of 12mph would not sell - hence the 28mph limit for C3 and the easy software override of lower limits for C1 and C2. Any thing goes. Law enforcement is depending on education to limit the conflicts created by allowing motor vehicles to share bicycle infrastructure. (That is straight from the Chiefs of our LEOs.)
