What is a category 4 ebike?
Class 4 e-bikes have nominal motor output above 750W and aren’t limited to any max speed. They may have any combination of throttle and PAS. Pedal Assistance: Optional (may be throttle-only) Throttle: Optional (may be pedal-assist only) Max Assisted Speed: No limit. E-bikes powered over 500W are currently and will continue to be illegal to ride on NSW roads. If your e-bike has the capacity to operate above 250 watts but can be limited by software to operate at 250 watts or lower, it will be illegal.If a product description talks about a 1000W, 2000W, or 3000W motor, it is not a street legal e bike. It is a motor vehicle. Understand the Speed Limiter: A compliant e-bike is not just about motor size but also about speed.
