Question
Are Lyric Cycles legal in the United States?
Answer
Lyric Cycles are legal in all states across the United States and ship as a Class 2 Ebike. Class 2 Ebikes are defined as low-speed throttle-assisted electric bicycles, equipped with motors that can exclusively propel the bicycle, but that cannot provide assistance when the bike reaches 20 mph.
These eBikes are legal on any paved surface that a regular bike is allowed to operate.
If you have access to private land you can unlock your Lyric Cycle to access the top speed potential through the control unit on your handlebars. Please check the user manual for this procedure.
Question

If you have access to private land, you can unlock your Lyric Cycle to access the top speed potential through the control unit on your handlebars. Please check the user manual for this procedure.
Question
Can I upgrade my bike and keep it legal?
Answer
You obviously love speed as much as we do!
Lyric Cycles are shipped to Canada and the USA at the top allowable legal engine power, and and top allowable legal speed. This is a legal requirement for us to stay in business, and to keep our insurance company happy.
What you choose to do once the bike is in your possession is up to you. Get to know the electric bike laws in your area, and make your decisions accordingly. But know we have done our part to keep your bike legal.
As a side note, any changes to motor, controller, battery, BMS, wiring, etc. will void the Lyric Cycle warranty.
