- drakonka 5y agoYes; the only thing that makes my ebike a "Moped Class II" instead of an ebike is its throttle. I am able to legally use bike lanes, but also need to have traffic insurance to use it. It's been a life saver during the pandemic to avoid public transport, but it isn't my normal "daily rider" since it's just less convenient to lug out of storage on a regular basis than my Brompton.
