An electric bike (e-bike) falls into the same classification as a conventional bicycle. There are only two main legal requirements you must adhere to, to ride an e-Bike:
• All operators must be 16 years of age or older
• All operators must always wear an approved bicycle helmet

Here are some other Requirements:

• All electrical terminals must be completely covered.
• Two independent braking systems consistent with requirements for motorcycles and motor-assisted bicycles (mopeds) that applies force to each wheel and is capable of bringing the e-bike, while being operated at a speed of 30 km/h, to a full stop within 9 metres from the point at which the brakes were applied.
• The minimum wheel width or diameter cannot be less than 35mm/350mm.
• No modifications to the motor to allow it to exceed a power output greater than 500W and a speed greater than 32 km/h.
• The battery and motor must be securely fastened to the vehicle to prevent them from moving while the e-bike is operating.

If the operator of an e-Bike is 16 years of age or older and has an approved bicycle helmet, there are no other major requirements that must be met. The following are NOT required to operate an e-Bike:

• Driver's license
• Written test
• Vehicle registration or plate
• Motor vehicle liability insurance

The Landline Runner has a 36V 250W Electric Motor that provides a 30 – 40 KM range (depending on weight and type of use). This battery can be fully charged in 3 hours!

There are two ways that your e-Bike works to support you as you ride: Pedal Assist (Pedelec) which provides battery power as you pedal; and a Twist and Go throttle on the handle bar, which provides power on demand.

Pedal Assist or Pedelec kicks in when you are pedalling. The e-Bike will sense your speed, cadence and/or torque and adjust the motor speed to match. On a throttle equipped bike, when you are in this mode and engage the throttle it will give you a significant boost. Pedal Assist or Pedelec will yield the best range and overall experience!

Twist & Go/Power on Demand is a feature on a throttle equipped e-Bike. With a simple twist of the throttle the E-Bike will engage the battery and you will instantly feel the power as you propel forward. When using this mode, there is no need to pedal since the e-Bike itself can do all the work! its important to note in this mode you will be using more of the batteries power and may have lower overall range.

The legal travel top speed of an E-bike on roads is 32km/h. The Landline Runner has a top speed of 25 KM/H.

One-year comprehensive warranty for the bike, charger and battery. Any factory defect will cover parts and labor. Roadside assistance or any shipping related will be an extra cost. Physical damage is not covered.

YES! An e-Bike falls into the same classification as a Bicycle, so it has the same benefits when you ride it!
