We are thrilled that more and more people are joining the C3STROM Family. Do you now take pleasure in riding and taking in the freedom of the open road? What changes have electric bikes made to our way of life? Remember the exact reasons you picked electric bikes.

 

Ride more effortlessly

When riding, there are frequently several different road parts. Ordinary bicycles sometimes carry a heavy physical weight while traveling for long periods of time or when facing sloped road portions. Electric bicycles are a great way to address this issue. With electric assistance, we can ride farther and take in more scenery while climbing ramp after ramp more quickly and effortlessly.

 

More efficient commuting

Imagine that we are set to begin a day worth fighting for when we get up early, enjoy the first cup of coffee of the day, have a hearty meal, and drive to the office. Instead, we are caught in heavy traffic congestion in the flow of traffic. The electric bicycle outside of the automobile sped by the window as you were impatiently awaiting the traffic congestion. An unfinished black Americano sits on the frame’s cup holder, and a dainty black briefcase rests on the back shelf.

Yes, as seen in the aforementioned example, electric bicycles may commute more effectively during times of heavy traffic. Drivers of electric bicycles can travel farther and faster because their motors have more horsepower than those of conventional bicycles. Electric bicycles may also freely navigate some alleyways at the same time.

 

Better for long rides

Long rides are popular among riders who like taking in the surrounding beauty. The issue of riding tiredness has been resolved by the development of electric bicycles. The burden of large luggage and the weariness of long-distance driving are no longer concerns for drivers. We can go great distances on electric bicycles, and they just need to pack one or two extra batteries. While traveling far away and having fun, there is more energy to take in the beauty along the route.

Perhaps the sensation of freedom is experienced when the driver travels to villages, lakes, farms, and mountains and feels the wind in the distance brush his face. This is an emotion that automobiles cannot convey. Electric bicycles take the role of traditional human-powered bicycles as the finest browsing tool when we cannot ride them to far locations.

 

People of all ages can participate

People of all ages may join and enjoy riding electric bicycles because of the increased accessibility of these vehicles. When riding a regular bicycle, there is a chance that we may inflict harm on our bodies, including wear and tear on the knees, waist, and other body parts due to excessive riding intensity, and muscles when we are weary. falls, cramping, and other injuries The advent of motorbikes significantly decreased injuries brought on by a lack of physical power and removed strain on the knees and waist. As a result, persons in their middle age and older can engage. They can utilize bicycles despite having weak physical capabilities thanks to motorcycles, which also efficiently protect their bodies.

 

More exciting and refreshing riding experience

More drivers are interested in having fun while riding rather than only pursuing endurance performance and high-speed experience. There are now several electric mountain bikes available that can ride on various surfaces, have improved possibilities, climb mountains more quickly, and eliminate the need to dismount the bike to push when you’re tired from climbing. People with poor physical condition and little time for training may still enjoy the thrill of riding on the road thanks to electric bicycles.

 

Low carbon environmental protection

A typical motorbike emits 5.75 pounds of carbon dioxide every 100 kilometers of travel with a fuel usage of 2.5 gallons.

A fully loaded bus typically uses 1.5 liters of gasoline every 100 kilometers, emitting 3.45 kg of carbon dioxide as a result.

About 20.7 kilos of carbon dioxide are emitted by a car that uses 9 gallons of petrol every 100 kilometers.

12 kilos of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere per 100 kilometers by an electric bicycle that uses 15 degrees of energy.

For every 100 kilometers traveled, electric bicycles use around 1.2 degrees of power and emit roughly 0.96 kilos of carbon.

It is clear that electric bicycles are not only a practical and effective mode of transportation, but they may also help us considerably cut down on carbon emissions. As a result, we urge more people to join the electric bicycle team, experience the excitement of riding with others, cut emissions, and safeguard the environment, all of which are highly beneficial to human health.

Send us a note if you have any more questions or concerns, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can. We take great satisfaction in our relationships with our patrons and backers, so we’ll be more than pleased too!

What an e-bike in the moped-style is. Despite the lack of a clear definition—they are a class that has only lately gained attention as a result of their rising popularity—these e-bikes have certain distinguishing design elements.

Moped-style e-bikes aim to combine many of the comfort and convenience aspects of traditional mopeds with the key e-bike traits of having pedals and a relatively low-powered electric assist motor system. This frequently entails a bench seat (which may also be able to accommodate a pillion passenger, in which case rear footpegs may also be present), tires and suspension made for motorcycles, as well as lighting features similar to those found in automobiles, such as a full-on headlamp or even indicators.

They are exactly that, but why would anyone desire an e-bike in the moped-style? It must be acknowledged that the illusive element of style plays a significant role; yet, there are unquestionably other benefits to moped e-bikes. The motorcycling aesthetic is undeniably a genuine draw for some, while others may be admirers of some of the celebrities that support labels like Super 73, Juiced Bike, and C3STROM.

However, moped-styled e-bikes offer additional, useful advantages. Large tires, suspension, and a long bench seat make these e-bikes more comfortable than many other designs, and characteristics like an upright riding position, well-equipped lighting, and a strong motor with some throttle control may make them seem quite secure in congested city traffic. Unfortunately, they frequently have a weight penalty due to the additional heavy equipment.

Moped-styled e-bikes, like other e-bike categories, will each have their own advantages and disadvantages; some may be better for commuting, others for off-roading, etc.; nonetheless, they have a fun and quirky ride experience that’s difficult to describe but obvious once you start riding a moped-style e-bike. So without further ado, let’s look at the e-bikes that, in our opinion, are now available in the greatest moped style.

Naturally, we gave preference to bikes we’ve personally tested and assessed, but we did include several bikes based only on reputation.

But in all cases, we evaluated the bikes based on a few key criteria, mainly:

1. Value: What e-bike do you receive for your money? There are several pricey, under-equipped electric bikes on the market today that don’t provide any value. Each bike on this list is reasonably priced in our opinion.
2.  Extras and components: What else does the e-bike include? Does it have fenders, lights, racks, or bags, and do those extras make sense? Is there anything missing that ought to be there?
3. Does it provide something distinctive? What makes this bike stand out from the competition in a market flooded with options? Many e-bike categories, especially those at the lower price point, are rife with knockoff companies and e-bikes that don’t really stand out. We’re trying to find those who are.
4. What was it designed for, according to the manufacturer? How successfully does this bike do the task for which it was intended? Naturally, you are free to ride your bike any way you see fit, but we want to ensure that the e-bikes on our list deliver on their promises.

C3STROM ASTRO PRO:

Best moped bike of the year- ‘fun, stylish, solidly built and powerful’ from Bill Roberson, Forbes

Come see C3STROM ASTRO PRO if you’ve been hunting for the greatest e-bike with a moped-like design for a while. We might legitimately say that the moped and e-bike mania is only getting started. That’s not to suggest that our moped e-bikes don’t have a distinctive appearance.

Due to its long bench seat, lengthy front suspension travel, and enormous volume tires, the C3STROM ASTRO PRO nevertheless has a moped-like look. It sports a bigger detachable battery and a lighter aluminum frame (1040 Wh). Furthermore, the riding stance is more upright.

Even though the ASTRO PRO lacks a rear suspension, its extremely wide, 20″ x 4.5″ tires, high volume, and long travel front suspension make it appropriate for fairly challenging dirt road terrain. Additionally, it offers a setting for unrestricted speed on all surfaces.

It’s as competent as it is entertaining, and the current seat can accommodate a little passenger.

The Class-3 e-bike that comes with the US-spec is capable of 28 mph at maximum power, but there is also an off-road mode that can be activated by turning on the control panel. It has a Class-1 (20 mph pedelec) or Class-3 (28 mph pedelec) mode that may be programmed, as well as an unlimited off-road setting that aids beyond 28 mph (only permissible on off-pavement).

 

Pro’s	Con’s
1. Super comfortable seat that will accommodate two people 2. Fat tires great for light off-roading 3. Off-road mode for faster riding 4. Lighting, fenders, and rack as standard 5. Powerful motor 6. Great value for the quality of components you get 7.

Hope It will give you more confidence to pick our e-bike, the finest moped bike of the year when we compare some of the most well-known moped motorcycles to the C3STROM ASTRO PRO.

The United States E-bike regulations

Ebikes are a fun, easy and convenient way to get around. They are perfect for those who need a vehicle with speed but can’t stand the idea of being tied down to a car all the time.  It’s such an exciting experience to get your hands on a new piece of technology like this!

But it’s important not to get too ahead of ourselves in all the excitement!

There are some important things you should know before you begin your ebike journey. One very important one is ebike regulations. As you might know, different countries have different regulations for ebikes. It’s important to know what kind of ebikes you can drive in your area, as all areas are different.

Here we explain the key things you need to know about all things regulations when it comes to ebikes.

Most of our customers are in the United States, which has quite a complicated legal arrangement when it comes to ebikes. Here we will give you the key facts regarding federal and state legislation when it comes to ebikes.

Federal

There are a few important federal regulations regarding ebikes. First, the motor must be less than 750w. To comply with this standard, the ASTRO and ASTRO PRO use a BAFANG 750w hub motor.

Second, the top speed using the throttle must be capped at 20mph when using the throttle alone. Notably, the law does not specify the maximum speed that the bike can go when using a combination  of peddling and the throttle. In fact, the Consumer Product Safety Commission specifically clarified this issue by stating that e-bikes can travel faster than 20mph when using pedals and the throttle.

 

 

State

There are also some regulations that vary by state. The state regulations mostly focus on whether ebikes are classified as scooters, mopeds or traditional bikes.

Only 44 states have definitions for ebikes in their legislation distinguishing them from other vehicles. The other 6 states classify them simply as mopeds or motor vehicles, meaning the same rules that apply to mopeds or motor vehicles apply to them.

In 26 states, ebikes are categorized ebikes into 3 standard classes. The remaining 18 states use unique classification systems.

https://www.ncsl.org/research/transportation/state-electric-bicycle-laws-a-legislative-primer.aspx

States using the standard 3 classes:

Arizona, Arkansas, California*, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

States using unique definitions:

Hawaii, Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Minnesota, Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington DC, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island

States with no definition:

North Dakota, Missouri, New Mexico, Alabama, Massachusetts, Alaska

The 26 states have pretty much the same definitions and regulations for the different classes of ebikes. The only exception is *California, where all ebikes cannot have a throttle. In all the other 25 states, including New York, a throttle is permitted.

Things get a bit trickier with the states that have unique definitions. Each one is different and it’s worth looking up the specific legislation of these states if you need to drive an ebike there.

For instance, Kentucky and Mississippi treat all ebikes as traditional bicycle that can be used freely on bicycle and multi-use paths. No license, registration or insurance is required. Whereas West Virginia does not recognise class 2 ebikes, only allowing the use of class 3 and class 1 ebikes.

New Jersey has a more complicated two-tier system, where ‘Low Speed Electric Bicycles’ that go below 20 mph (like ‘Class 1) are treated as traditional bikes, while ‘Motorized bicycles’ that can go between 20mph and 28mph are treated more like motor vehicles that require a driver’s license, registration, insurance, and a helmet.

 

What about the ASTRO and ASTRO PRO?

C3STROM’s ASTRO is a class 3 bike. It has a BAFANG 750W motor, which is the maximum wattage allowed for this class. It has a setting with an initial speed limit setting of 28mph, along with a pedal assist system (PAS) so you can switch between riding it like a normal bike and riding it fast. Therefore, when riding in the initial mode, license and insurance is not required.

It also has another setting called ‘OFF-ROAD’ mode which can be used off-road at a higher speed. As the bike is designed for speed-seekers, we decided to include this off-road mode for those who enjoy the thrill of riding.

For our future EU customers, we have a different riding mode called ‘pedelec mode’. Every time the user starts the bike, it will be set automatically in pedelec mode with a 25km/h speed limit. In pedelec mode, when a speed of 25km/h is reached, the pedal assistance cuts out.

 

What about licenses and insurance?

If the bike comes under the standard three tier classification system used in the 26 states mentioned above, then generally it does not need a licence and insurance. As for the 14 states with unique definitions, it varies state by state. Generally, ebikes are classed as traditional bicycles or class 3 ebikes in these states so will not require licences and insurance with the exception of New Jersey (see above). But make sure to check your states guidelines for more details, as legislation is often nuanced in these states and subject to frequent changes and revisions.

US ebike classes

When you first discover ebikes, the whole concept just seems fascinating! An electric bike that can function both like normal bike and a motor powdered vehicle just seems convenient and modern. You might very quickly get carried away looking for your dream bike.

It can get a bit confusing, though, once you start thinking about what kind of vehicle an ebike is though. You might be thinking is it a motorcycle, a traditional bike or somewhere in between? More importantly, what are the rules that apply to an ebike?

Luckily, in most places there is classification system that helps deal with this problem.

In the United States, the state law of 26 states divides ebikes into three different classes. Each class of ebike caters to a different type of user with certain needs, but also come with a different set of regulations governing their use. Which class a user wants to choose will be mainly based on whether they want to travel in urban or rural environments. It will also depend on how fast the rider needs the bike to go and if they need to be able to use the bike in all the places a traditional push bike can be used.  

 

ebike classes in the US

In twenty-six states of the US, there are three different classes of ebike. There are eighteen states that use unique classification systems. There are five states, there is no legal definition for ebikes (meaning they are classed as other types of vehicles).

Here are the 26 states that use the standardized three tier classification:

Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

Each class defines ebikes by three things: (1) if they have a throttle, (2) how fast they can travel and (3) if they have a PAS (Pedal Assist System, which gives an extra electric ‘boost’ to the bike when you pedal).

Class-1

The first class of ebike has a top speed of 20mph. It does not have a throttle, so it relies totally on the PAS for power. It’s best to think of this kind of ebike as similar to a traditional bike with just a little bike of electrical assistance, as it cannot go to very fast speeds. These ebikes are treated by a lot of states like traditional mountain or pavement bikes, so they are most suited to dedicated bike lanes, roads, and trails.

Class-2

The second class of ebikes also has a top speed of 20mph. However, it also has a throttle used in combination with the PAS. It can’t go any faster than the ordinary class one, but it is a bit easier on the rider as they can choose if they want to use the pedals. Again, these ebikes are often treated like normal traditional bikes and can often go wherever those ones can, but it depends on the state. Some states like New York and Michigan State have restrictions.

Class-3

The third class of ebikes has a top speed of 28mph. There is also another regulation on the motor for this class – it must be less than 750 watts.

Whether or not it is allowed a throttle depends on the local regulations. In somewhere like California, for instance, throttles are not allowed. Whereas in New York, a throttle is totally fine. It also has PAS, so the rider can switch between PAS and throttle.

These ebikes are often more suitable for roads and on-road bike lanes, but often cannot be used on standard off-road bike lanes and trails because they are too fast.

 

What class is our ASTRO and ASTRO PRO?

C3STROM’s ASTRO is a class 3 ebike. It has a BAFANG 750W hub motor, which is the maximum wattage allowed for this class of bike. Initially, when you turn on the bike, the maximum speed is capped at 28mph with pedals and 20mph on throttle only – which is the maximum speed for this class. When riding in this default riding setting, the bike fits the standards of the class 3 ebike category mentioned above in this article, meaning the bike does not require a license or insurance (in most states).

 

As the bike fits the requirements for a class 3 ebike, legally, that means it is in a special class of vehicles which has a unique set of regulations that apply to it. As mentioned above, the rules and regulations vary by state; some states do not even use this classification system and others use a modified version of it. Subsequently, it’s important to check rules and regulations for ebikes in your own state before riding. In most states, however, the ASTRO and ASTRO PRO will be treated as a special type of vehicle that is closer in legal status to a traditional bike than a motor vehicle like a car or motorcycle. That’s why you won’t need a special license or insurance in most cases.

For our future EU customers, we will have a different default riding mode called ‘pedelec mode’. In pedelec mode, when a speed of 25km/h is reached, the pedal assistance cuts out automatically. The bike will be in line with EU legal requirements for ebikes, as the requirements specifically state that bikes must not go beyond 25mph with pedal assistance. Therefore, the bike will not require any special license or insurance.
