Lite-EV Class & Compliance Disclosure
All electric mobility vehicles are sold in manufacturer default configuration. Product specifications shown are manufacturer-provided for informational purposes only. We do not modify motors, controllers, batteries, or performance settings.
Purpose of This Disclosure
This disclosure explains how light electric vehicles (“Lite-EVs”) and related products sold or displayed by 562 e-Bikes are configured, described, and regulated under applicable laws.
This disclosure is provided to promote transparency, regulatory awareness, and safe operation.
562 e-Bikes is a brick-and-mortar retailer. Products are not sold online through this website. All purchases occur in person at our physical locations.
Factory Default Configuration
All products sold by 562 e-Bikes are sold in their factory default configuration as provided by the manufacturer.
Product legality and permitted use vary by jurisdiction and depend on applicable state and local laws.
Any speed, power, or operational characteristics present at the time of sale reflect manufacturer factory settings, not dealer modification.
Recommended Rider Age
Electric bicycles and other light electric mobility products sold by 562 e-Bikes are designed and marketed by manufacturers for a range of riders depending on product size, configuration, and intended use.
As a store safety policy, 562 e-Bikes generally recommends these products for riders eighteen (18) years of age or older, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
Some compact electric bicycles may be physically suitable for smaller riders; however, rider suitability depends on age, size, experience, and the ability to safely control the vehicle.
Parents or guardians are responsible for determining whether a product is appropriate for a minor rider and for supervising safe operation where applicable.

Class-Based Regulatory Framework (General Overview)
Certain Lite-EV products may fall under a class-based regulatory framework recognized by many U.S. states, including California. Classifications are determined by how a product operates, not by appearance, marketing terms, or hardware alone.
Class 1
- Pedal-assist only
- Motor assistance up to 20 mph
- No throttle-only operation
Class 2
- Throttle-assisted operation permitted
- Motor assistance up to 20 mph
Class 3
- Pedal-assist only

- Additional requirements or restrictions may apply depending on jurisdiction
The legal classification of any product depends on its active configuration at the time of operation and applicable state or local laws.
Configuration and Legal Use
Some products may be manufactured with multiple operating modes or configurable settings.
The presence of multiple modes or settings does not mean that all configurations are legal for use on public streets, bike lanes, or shared paths.
Legal classification and permitted use depend on active settings and local regulations.
Customers are solely responsible for ensuring that their operation of any product complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
Dealer Non-Modification Policy
562 e-Bikes does not proactively modify, unlock, alter, or reprogram speed, power, or controller settings.
Any adjustments, if performed, are non-performance related and are:
- Limited in scope
- Performed only where legally permitted
- Intended solely to address a specific compliance concern or a documented customer request.
Such adjustments do not represent a general obligation to reconfigure products from their factory default state. Products are otherwise sold as provided by the manufacturer.
Use Limitations
Certain product configurations or settings may not be legal for use on public streets, bike lanes, or multi-use paths.
Such configurations are intended for use only where permitted by law. This website does not encourage, promote, or authorize unlawful operation of any product.
No Legal Advice
This disclosure is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Laws and regulations vary by jurisdiction and are subject to change.
