What makes this class different
We know learning sticks with you when it's hands-on, so we move between the classroom and the range throughout the class to train the skills as we learn them. You'll learn skills in the classroom, head to the range to practice it on a real ebike, then come back for the next skill, then back to the range again.
Watching a lesson and being able to practice the lesson in real time are different things. The range is where we put the work in, to make it stick.
Ebikes, not e-motos
This class is about upskilling ebike riders, we do not train e-motos. Knowing which kind of bike you ride is the first lesson, because the answer changes how the bike behaves and what the law says.
Class 1 to 3
The motor helps while you pedal, and the assist setting changes how hard the bike pulls away. Class 1 tops out at 20 mph and Class 3 at 28 mph.
Class 2
The motor can push you along without any pedaling, which catches new riders out at the start. Class 2 tops out at 20 mph.
Heavier loads
Carrying weight changes how the bike balances, turns and stops.
Not an ebike
Some bikes sold as ebikes are really e-motos. A bike modified past the legal limits may not count as an ebike under state law at all, and those rules keep changing.
Why it matters
Ebike injuries are climbing and proper training is hard to find. Riders often feel more capable than they are, and without training the lesson can be life changing. Remember, the motor adds speed and weight, this is not going to handle like a normal bike.

They have never taken a driver's education class, so nobody has explained how an ebike rider interacts with traffic. Our goal is to bridge the gap between rider and traffic knowledge.

Since July 2025, Florida law lets local governments set minimum ages for ebike riders and provide training on safe ebike operation. The St. Johns County school district alone has 52,617 students across 54 schools. Training is allowed. It is not yet required, and it is not yet widely available.
