Please check your country or state's regulations on electric bikes before riding. There are variations on age limit, speed, motor wattage, and road accessibility. Visit this website for more information:

https://peopleforbikes.org/our-work/E-Bikes/policies-and-laws/ In most European countries and Australia, the rules of public traffic pertaining to bicycles also apply to E-Bikes traveling up to 25 km/h. However, there are some notable differences (such as the age limit of the cyclist).

Hover-1 Altai R500 - LEGAL REQUIREMENTS - 1

In North America

Each Altai E-Bike comes programmed in speed restriction mode, which allows for throttle operation and pedal assist up to 19.88 mph. This allows the Altai to be legally ridden on most bike paths without a license or insurance.

For areas where throttle-powered electric bicycles are not allowed, the Altai can be operated using pedal assist up to 28 mph.
