In September 2026 the crackdown got real. On Friday 12 September, NSW Police and Transport for NSW seized 36 illegal e-bikes across Sydney's Northern Beaches in Operation E-Voltage, the first blitz since new laws let officers confiscate and crush non-compliant e-bikes. Police tested bikes on the spot with a dynamometer, and one machine ridden by a 14 year old could top 90km/h. Queensland's own e-bike and e-scooter rules commenced on 31 August. So the question a lot of riders are suddenly asking is simple: is my e-bike actually legal?
Here is the rule in one line. A road-legal e-bike in Australia is a pedal-assist bicycle with a motor rated to 250W that stops helping at 25km/h, and it only assists while you pedal. A hand throttle that drives you along without pedalling puts it outside the bicycle rules. Below is every popular e-bike in our directory, checked on those points. Search a brand, filter by status, and click any model for the full specification.
Laws differ in the detail between states. For the state-by-state breakdown, read our guide to e-bike laws in Australia. The status below reflects each model's listed specification, not any individual modified bike.
169 of 169 e-bikes shown
| Brand | Model | Motor | Throttle | Cuts out at 25km/h | Road legal? | Caveat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADO | Air 20 Pro | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Retailer spec sheet lists 250W Bafang H700 motor, torque sensor pedal assist, throttle not supported, 25 km/h top assist.

| ADO | Air 20 Ultra | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | 250W pedal assist cutting at 25 km/h, and the spec sheet states no throttle is fitted or supported. MiBike lists an NSW compliance certificate mark against the Air range. |
| AMPD Bros | Ace-X Plus | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (verified) | Australian-spec Ace-X Plus is pedal-assist only. The AMPD international range includes throttled variants; do NOT cross-shop those listings, they are not road-legal in AU. |

| Aventon | Aventure 3 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | BikesOnline-distributed AU spec has the throttle removed. We have not yet seen the per-model EN 15194 declaration; brand asserts compliance, status will be upgraded to 'verified' on production-cycle paperwork. |
| Aventon | Level 3 | 250W rated, 864W peak | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | AU spec is pedal-assist only, throttle removed. Sensor Switch lets the rider pick torque or cadence sensing. BikesOnline lists the bike but currently does not ship e-bikes to NSW, which matters under the 2026 NSW reset. EN 15194 declaration not yet sighted per model, so status is brand-asserted. |
| Brompton | C Line Electric | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Brompton EU and UK spec is EN 15194 compliant. AU units imported to the same specification per Brompton AU distributor. |
| Cannondale | Moterra 2 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch CX factory torque 85Nm. Higher figures are app firmware unlocks. |

| Cube | Nuride Hybrid Performance 600 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch Performance Line drive unit, Smart System. Same 250W/25km/h AU convention applied as the other Bosch Performance Line bikes in this batch; not independently spec checked for this exact unit revision. |

| Cube | Supreme Hybrid ONE 500 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch Performance Line drive unit, Smart System. Same 250W/25km/h AU convention applied as the other Bosch Performance Line bikes in this batch. |
| Cube | Touring Hybrid ONE 600 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch Performance Line drive unit. Bosch's AU spec sheet for the closely related Performance Line CX confirms 250W rated continuous output, 25km/h max supported speed, pedal assist only, no throttle. No dated AU compliance declaration for this specific Cube SKU was checked. |
| Cube | Touring Hybrid Pro 625 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch 250W mid-drive, 25km/h assist cutoff, no throttle. |
| Cube | Touring Hybrid Pro 800 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch Performance Line PX drive unit. Not independently spec checked, but Bosch AU markets its standard Smart System pedelec range (excluding the separate Speed/S-pedelec line, not used here) at 250W rated continuous and 25km/h cutoff; applying that figure by brand convention. |
| DiroDi | Rover Gen 6 | 250W | Yes | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | The 250W build is sold as EN 15194 certified and the throttle ships limited to 6 km/h walk assist. DiroDi also sells 500W and 1000W versions of the same bike, and states the 1000W is for private property only. Those configurations are not road legal in Australia. |
| DYU | C6 | 250W | Yes | Yes | Not road legal (off road only) | Ships with a throttle. AU pedelec law limits throttle-only drive to 200W, so its road-legal status varies by state. Sold widely in Australia. |
| ENGWE | E26 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | AU-spec pedelec only. EN 15194 claim pending brand declaration sighting. |

| ENGWE | M20 | 250W rated, 750W peak | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | AU import shipped as pedelec-only EPAC, 250W sustained rated output. The 750W figure in marketing is peak only. Throttle disabled at controller. EN 15194 declaration not yet sighted; status will upgrade to verified on document review. |
| Eunorau | D5 LITE X1.0 | 250W | Yes | Yes | Unverified | Rated 250W and capped at 25km/h, but fitted with a throttle, a legal grey area for on-road pedelec use. Confirm throttle rules for your state. |
| Eunorau | FLASH LITE 2.0 | 250W rated, 750W peak | Yes | Yes | Unverified | Ships capped at 25km/h with a 250W rated motor (750W peak) but is unlockable and has a throttle, which is a legal grey area on-road. The headline range needs the optional second and third batteries. |
| Eunorau | MAX-CARGO X2.0 | 250W | Yes | Yes | Unverified | Rated 250W and capped at 25km/h, but fitted with a thumb throttle that sits in a legal grey area for on-road pedelec use. Headline range needs the optional second battery. Confirm throttle legality for your state. |
| Eunorau | META26 X2.0 | 250W | Yes | Yes | Unverified | 250W rear hub with a torque sensor and a 25km/h cap sit inside the AU power limit, but the bike ships with a thumb throttle. A strict EN 15194 pedelec does not allow a throttle above walking pace, so confirm throttle legality for your state before riding on the road. |
| Eunorau | META275 2.0 | 250W | Yes | Yes | Unverified | 48V 250W rear hub, torque sensor, capped at 25km/h, but fitted with a thumb throttle, which a strict EN 15194 pedelec does not allow above walking pace. The 140km figure requires the optional second 48V 15Ah battery. Confirm throttle legality for your state before road use. |
| Eunorau | Specter-S 3.0 | 1000W | Yes | No | Not road legal (off road only) | 1000W Bafang M620 mid-drive, thumb throttle, 45km/h top assist. This is not a road-legal e-bike in Australia. It is an off-road and private-land machine, marketed by Eunorau as a hunting and fishing bike. Listed with full caveats for buyers comparing serious electric off-road performance. |
| Eunorau | SPECTER-ST 2.0 | 1000W | Yes | No | Not road legal (off road only) | 1000W mid-drive with an unlockable 45km/h mode and a throttle. This exceeds the Australian 250W and 25km/h pedelec limits and is off-road and private-land use only. |
| Fatboy | The Bagus V2 | 500W | Yes | Yes | Not road legal (off road only) | Spec sheet lists Motor Rating as '5OOW' (a typo for 500W, confirmed against the identical field on the Harlem and Scrambler pages) with the same in-box throttle and the same 'private property only, isolate for public riding' disclaimer. Treated as non-compliant as shipped for the same reasons as the other two V2 models. |
| Fatboy | The Harlem V2 | 500W | Yes | Yes | Not road legal (off road only) | Brand's own spec sheet lists Motor Rating as 500W (above the 250W continuous AU road-legal limit) and Speed as '25km/h (50km/h unlocked)'. A throttle ships in the box, ready to install. Brand copy states: 'Throttles are strictly for private property use and should be isolated when riding in public,' which is effectively an admission the throttle-equipped, unlocked configuration is not road legal. The brand's own opinion is that the locked, throttle-isolated 25km/h pedelec mode is inline with NSW EPAC legislation, but that is a claim, not independent certification. |
| Fatboy | The Scrambler V2 | 500W | Yes | Yes | Not road legal (off road only) | Same spec sheet pattern as the Harlem: Motor Rating listed as 500W and a throttle ships in the box. Speed here is listed simply as 'Restricted to 25 km/h' with no unlock figure quoted, but the same brand disclaimer applies: 'Throttles are strictly for private property use and should be isolated when riding in public.' Treated as non-compliant as shipped; the locked, throttle-isolated mode is only claimed-by-brand as EPAC compliant. |
| Fiido | Titan | 750W | Yes | No | Not road legal (off road only) | 750W (1000W peak) with a throttle and an unlocked speed to 45km/h. Sold for off-road and private-property use only. Not a road-legal Australian pedelec. |

Retailer copy quotes 90Nm / 700W peak for the PX unit specifically; that peak figure is not the same as the 250W continuous rating used for AU road-legal classification. |
| Orbea | Denna H50 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Shimano EP600 mid-drive, 250W rated, pedal-assist only, cuts at 25km/h. An optional 210Wh range extender is available. |
| Pedal | Breeze E4 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Brand's own spec sheet: 250W rear hub, 25km/h pedal-assist cutoff, no throttle. No formal EN15194 declaration sighted, this is Pedal's claim not a verified certificate. |
| Pedal | Clipper 2 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Brand's own spec sheet: Bafang G010, 250W, 32Nm, 25km/h cutoff, no throttle. Claim, not a sighted certificate. |
| Pedal | Dynamo 3 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Brand's own spec sheet: 36V 250W hub motor (Shengyi M1213), maximum speed assist explicitly listed as 25km/h, no throttle. Claim, not a sighted certificate. |
| Pedal | Eagle ST | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Brand's own spec sheet: Ananda M60 mid-drive listed as 250W nominal, 25km/h assist cutoff (motor model string reads Ananda M60 25KPH), no throttle. Claim, not a sighted certificate. |
| Pedal | Packer | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | 250W mid-drive, 25km/h cap, no throttle, AU and NZ RCM-marked charger. |
| Pedal | Uptown SL (7-Speed) | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Listing states a 32Nm Bafang G010 motor, the same 250W unit Pedal uses on the Clipper 2 where wattage is confirmed. This specific listing does not itself print a wattage figure. No throttle mentioned. Claim, not a sighted certificate. |

| Reid | Let's Moto Fat eBike | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Reid asserts Australian pedelec compliance (pedal assist only, 25 km/h cut-off, 250W). No published EN 15194 certificate found for this specific model. Reid is NOT currently shipping the Let's Moto to NSW due to NSW e-bike shipping restrictions. The moped-style frame geometry may attract additional scrutiny from law enforcement in states that are actively enforcing non-compliant e-bike rules, even if the motor configuration is technically compliant. Buyers should confirm current state rules before purchase. |
| Reid | Let's Roll Step-Through eBike | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Reid asserts AU pedelec compliance (250W, pedal-assist only, 25 km/h cut-off). No per-model EN 15194 declaration found. Reid currently unable to ship to NSW due to NSW e-bike shipping restrictions. |
| Riese & Muller | Carrie2 City | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch mid-drive, rated 250W with assist cutting at 25 km/h, pedal assist only. The Australian bikes are the 25 km/h pedelec tune, not the 45 km/h S-Pedelec, which is not road legal here. |
| Riese & Muller | Charger5 Vario Core | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch mid-drive, rated 250W with assist cutting at 25 km/h, pedal assist only. The Australian bikes are the 25 km/h pedelec tune, not the 45 km/h S-Pedelec, which is not road legal here. |
| Riese & Muller | Culture Touring | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch mid-drive, rated 250W with assist cutting at 25 km/h, pedal assist only. The Australian bikes are the 25 km/h pedelec tune, not the 45 km/h S-Pedelec, which is not road legal here. |
| Riese & Muller | Homage5 Vario | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch mid-drive, rated 250W with assist cutting at 25 km/h, pedal assist only. The Australian bikes are the 25 km/h pedelec tune, not the 45 km/h S-Pedelec, which is not road legal here. |
| Riese & Muller | Load4 60 Touring | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | The Load4 60's own AU page lists the motor only as 'Bosch Cargo Line (smart system)' without a plain-text wattage or km/h figure. That exact motor name is confirmed elsewhere at 250W nominal and 25 km/h AU cutoff on sister models using the identical Bosch Cargo Line unit (Packster2 70 via Dutch Cargo Bike's spec sheet, Load5 75 via Electric Bikes Brisbane's listing). No throttle listed in any component/accessory list. Reviewer should independently confirm the 250W figure applies unchanged to Load4 60 before publishing if in doubt. |
| Riese & Muller | Multicharger3 Touring | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch mid-drive, rated 250W with assist cutting at 25 km/h, pedal assist only. The Australian bikes are the 25 km/h pedelec tune, not the 45 km/h S-Pedelec, which is not road legal here. |
| Riese & Muller | Multitinker2 Vario | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch mid-drive, rated 250W with assist cutting at 25 km/h, pedal assist only. The Australian bikes are the 25 km/h pedelec tune, not the 45 km/h S-Pedelec, which is not road legal here. |
| Riese & Muller | Nevo5 Vario CORE | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | R&M's own AU-localised (en-au) configurator page states the Performance Line PX motor cuts out at 25 km/h for AU/EU (vs a 20mph Sport tune for US/OS markets). No throttle listed anywhere in the component or accessory list, pedal assist only. Nominal motor wattage was not stated in plain text on the page, so it is left out of this manifest rather than assumed. |
| Riese & Muller | Packster2 70 CT Touring | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Retailer's own spec widget explicitly separates AU (25 kmph) from NZ (32 kmph) maximum assisted speed for the same physical bike, region set by software limiter. AU-shipped units confirmed 250W motor power, torque sensor pedal assist, no throttle listed. Walk assist is present but that is the standard low-speed push function, not a riding throttle. |
| Scott | Patron 920 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Bosch Performance Line CX, 250W rated, pedal-assist only, cuts at 25km/h. |
| SmartMotion | Renegade | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Cadence-sensor pedal assist, no throttle. Sold as a 250W 25km/h pedelec. |
| Specialized | Levo 4 EVO Comp Alloy | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | EVO is the long-travel enduro build of the Levo Comp Alloy. |
| Specialized | S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL 2 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Confirmed on the live specialized.com/au product page: 'EN15194 compliant (250W Cont, 25km/h) as required on NSW roads and road related areas.' Specialized's own marketing copy elsewhere describes this motor delivering 'up to 20mph/32kph' assist, which is the US/unrestricted-region tune; the AU page explicitly claims the 25km/h EN15194 figure instead. Pedelec only, no throttle. Enduro eMTB intended for off-road use; speed limit is a road/road-related-area requirement. |
| Specialized | Turbo Como 3.0 IGH | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Quoted directly off the live specialized.com/au product page: 'EN15194 compliant (250W Cont, 25km/h) as required on NSW roads and road related areas.' Pedelec only, no throttle. |
| Specialized | Turbo Como 4.0 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Como 4.0's own AU product page (206175) has been retired/404s post-refresh; compliance wording quoted here is the identical boilerplate confirmed live on the Como 3.0 IGH and Vado 4.0 AU pages, which is standard across the whole Turbo range: EN15194 compliant, 250W continuous, 25km/h, pedelec only. |
| Specialized | Turbo Como 5.0 IGH | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | AU spec is a 250W 25km/h pedelec. Automatic Enviolo hub and Gates belt for low-maintenance city riding. |
| Specialized | Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (SRAM Apex Eagle) | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Confirmed on the live specialized.com/au product page: 'EN15194 compliant (250W Cont, 25km/h) as required on NSW roads and road related areas.' Some international reviews quote a much higher 'theoretical' top speed (around 50km/h) calculated from cadence and gearing, that is a mechanical ceiling, not the assist cutoff; the brand's own AU-facing compliance claim is the standard 25km/h pedelec limit. Pedelec only, no throttle. |
| Specialized | Turbo Levo 4 Comp Alloy | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Motor 105Nm peak; AU assist capped at 250W nominal and 25km/h. |
| Specialized | Turbo Levo SL 2 Comp Alloy | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Confirmed on the live specialized.com/au product page for this nameplate: 'EN15194 compliant (250W Cont, 25km/h) as required on NSW roads and road related areas.' Motor is rated 320W nominal per Specialized's own spec sheet; brand still markets AU units under the 250W continuous / 25km/h EN15194 claim. Pedelec only, no throttle. As an eMTB this is intended primarily for off-road trail use; the 25km/h limit is only enforced/relevant on roads and road-related areas. |
| Specialized | Turbo Tero 4.0 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Specialized AU lists 250W nominal and 25km/h behaviour for the Tero family. |
| Specialized | Turbo Tero X 6.0 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Quoted directly off the live specialized.com/au product page: 'EN15194 compliant (250W Cont, 25km/h) as required on NSW roads and road related areas.' Pedelec only, no throttle. Note category here is a stretch: Tero X is really an SUV/adventure hybrid, closest fit in this schema's category list is urban-commuter. |
| Specialized | Turbo Vado 4.0 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Specialized's own AU product page carries a standard Local Laws Warning Notice: 'EN15194 compliant (250W Cont, 25km/h) as required on NSW roads and road related areas.' Pedelec only, no throttle. Claimed by brand, not an independently sighted conformity declaration. |
| Specialized | Turbo Vado 5.0 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Listed and priced on the Specialized AU store, currently sold out at time of check. |
| Specialized | Turbo Vado SL 2 4.0 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Specialized SL 1.1 motor is designed to EN 15194 specification. AU dealer confirmed pedelec-only. |
| Specialized | Turbo Vado SL 2 5.0 EQ | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Same Local Laws Warning Notice as the rest of the Turbo range: 'EN15194 compliant (250W Cont, 25km/h)'. Motor is rated 320W nominal by Specialized's own marketing copy; brand still markets AU units as EN15194 (250W continuous) compliant. Pedelec only, no throttle. |
| Super73 | S2 Special Edition | 250W | Yes | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Marketed as street legal at 250W 25km/h (EN15194 and UL2271 certified). It is a throttle-platform with a cadence sensor, so assist feel is switch-like rather than a torque-sensor pedelec. |
| Super73 | ZX Special Edition | 250W | Yes | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Sold as a 250W 25km/h EPAC bicycle (EN15194 and UL2271 certified). The listing markets an app-unlockable off-road throttle mode above 45km/h that is not road-legal in any Australian state. |
| Sur-Ron | Light Bee X | 8000W | Yes | No | Not road legal (off road only) | Off-road and closed-course use only. No pedals, throttle drive, and power and speed far exceed the AU 250W 25km/h pedelec rules. Not road-legal in Australia. |
| Sur-Ron | Ultra Bee | 12500W | Yes | No | Not road legal (off road only) | Off-road and closed-course use only in this trim. No pedals, throttle drive, far exceeds pedelec limits. A separate ADR-compliant LAMS version is the only road-legal option in Australia. |
| Tern | GSD P00 Gen 3 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | AU-spec pedelec only. EN 15194 claim pending brand declaration sighting. Sydney stockist Glow Worm lists the GSD P00 Gen 3 as not currently available for sale pending NSW ebike certification requirements, checked June 2026. |

Throttle presence is not stated, TQ HPR50 is a pedal assist only system with no throttle on every market Trek sells it in, but this was not independently confirmed on the AU page. |
| Trek | Fetch+ 2 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Trek AU states "Motor Bosch Performance Line CX, 250W" directly on the product spec panel, which is the only Trek AU page in this research pass to publish an explicit wattage figure. Throttle presence and top assist speed are not stated. Model number shown is 5284764. |

| Trek | Rail+ 5 Gen 5 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Full-power enduro eMTB. Bosch CX 85Nm, 800Wh removable battery, PowerMore booster compatible. |
| Trek | Rail+ 8 Gen 5 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Same sourcing basis as the Rail+ 9.8 Gen 5 entry in this manifest: Trek AU's family page states 85 Nm of torque on a Bosch motor, but no wattage, throttle, or speed limit figure is published for this specific SKU. Model number shown is 5348331. |
| Trek | Rail+ 9.8 Gen 5 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Trek AU's Rail+ family page states the range runs a Bosch motor with 85 Nm of torque, corroborated by third party press coverage of the Rail+ Gen 5 platform (Bosch Performance Line CX), but AU does not publish nominal wattage, throttle presence, or speed limit for this specific SKU. Battery size of 800 Wh matches the already listed Rail+ 5 Gen 5 on eBikeFinder.au, which shares the same platform. Model number shown is 5348438. |
| Trek | Slash+ 9.7 | 250W | No | Yes | Road legal (brand claimed) | Trek AU's own marketing copy names "TQ's natural-feeling HPR50 motor" but does not publish torque, wattage, or battery size on the AU pages captured in this pass. Torque (50 Nm) and battery (580 Wh standard, with a 360 Wh or range extender option) are taken from independent bike press coverage (Bikerumor) of the global Slash+ launch, not from an AU-specific source, since Trek AU does not publish these figures on the product listing. Flag for a second look before publish given the battery figure is press sourced rather than brand AU sourced. Model number shown is 5337443. |

Common questions
What makes an e-bike road legal in Australia?
Nationally, a road-legal e-bike is a pedal-assist bicycle with a motor rated to 250W of continuous power that cuts assistance at 25km/h, and the motor must only help while you pedal. A hand throttle that drives the bike without pedalling (above a 6km/h walk-assist) pushes it outside the bicycle rules and into unregistered-motorbike territory. Some states historically allowed a 200W throttle bike, but the 250W pedal-assist standard is the one accepted everywhere.
Is a 250W e-bike legal in Australia?
A 250W pedal-assist e-bike that cuts out at 25km/h is legal to ride on roads and paths in every state and territory, provided it meets the pedal-assist rule and the rider follows local road rules and helmet laws. Watts alone are not the whole story: the cut-off speed and whether it has a throttle also matter.
What happens if my e-bike is illegal?
On a road, footpath or shared path a non-compliant e-bike is treated as an unregistered, uninsured motorbike, which means fines and demerit exposure. In NSW and Queensland, police can now seize and destroy e-bikes that have been modified to exceed the limits. In the September 2026 Northern Beaches operation, NSW Police tested bikes on the spot with a dynamometer and seized 36.
How did you decide if each e-bike is road legal?
We use each model's rated motor power, whether it has a driving throttle, and its assistance cut-off speed, checked against manufacturer and distributor information. Bikes we have confirmed against a compliance source are marked verified; brand-claimed means the specification says it complies but we have not independently confirmed it; off-road only means the specification exceeds the pedal-assist rules. Always confirm the current specification with the seller, because the same model name is sometimes sold in both a compliant and a non-compliant version.
