When does an electric bike become a moped?

An electric bike becomes a Moped when it exceeds certain limitations set by LOCAL regulations. The specifics can vary depending on the country or region, but generally, an electric bike becomes a Moped if it has a motor with a power output higher than 750 watts (1 horsepower) and/or if it can travel at speeds that exceed 20 mph (32 km/h) without pedaling. Additionally, some jurisdictions may require the electric bike to have certain safety features, such as lights, mirrors, and license plates, in order to be classified as a Moped. It's important for riders to be familiar with the laws in their area to ensure they are using their electric bikes within legal limits.
