Ebike buyer's guide
These are the two different ebike categorizations: classes and styles. The 3 Classes describe the pedal assist and max speed of each bike. There are dozens of styles of ebikes, but these three are some of the most common. The 3 Classes of ebikes come in many styles, so you can mix and match the categories depending on your intended bike use, preference of motor assist, and of course, personal style!
