E-bikes Update
Effective February 1, 2023, our general liability insurance carrier, American Specialty Insurance Company, amended our policy to now cover Class 2 E-Bikes on our club rides. Therefore, we are removing the restriction on Class 2 E-Bikes from riding in any of our club rides.
HOWEVER, the operation of any E-Bike in a “Throttle Only” mode is not permitted on any club ride.
All Class I, 2, & 3 E-Bikes are welcome on our club rides.
