The speed of a 1000W electric bike typically ranges from 28 to 35 mph, but state laws may limit it to 28 mph for Class 3 e-bikes. Factors like rider weight, battery voltage, and terrain also play a role in achieving the bike’s top speed.

While some electric bikes have regenerative braking, which can recover small amounts of energy, pedaling alone doesn't recharge the battery. This feature is uncommon and not very efficient, making traditional charging the primary way to power the battery.

Electric bikes can reach speeds of 15 mph to 28 mph without pedaling, depending on motor power, battery capacity, bike weight, and local regulations. Higher powered motors, such as 750 watt motors, allow for faster speeds and longer range.

California’s 2025 e-bike laws include new classifications, helmet mandates for Class 3 bikes, and specific access rules for electric bicycles. Riders will also face registration requirements for higher powered models, with some regions requiring insurance for electric bikes.
