Per  Utah code 41-6a-102 , an electric motorcycle is defined by its speed capacity, weight
and motor power. They have powerful motors capable of 40-50 mph speeds and faster, a
dedicated throttle and foot pegs or aftermarket pedal kits. Due to their potential speed and
weight, they are not permitted on trails where motorized vehicles are prohibited, as they
can pose significant safety risks to other trail users and the land.
E-bikes come with permanently affixed cranks used in combination with the bike’s electric
assistance, have motors of 750 watts or less, and be incapable of speeds greater than 28
mph on level ground. E-bikes are categorized into three distinct classes: Class 1 E-bikes
do not have a throttle and are pedal-assist up to 20 mph; Class 2 E-bikes have a throttle
and pedal assist, also with a maximum speed of 20 mph; and Class 3 E-bikes do not have
a throttle, and are pedal-assist up to 28 mph and require a speedometer.
