What is an Electric Moped?

An electric moped is a two-wheeled vehicle powered entirely by an electric motor and battery, capable of higher speeds than most e-bikes, and designed for comfort and stability. Unlike Class 2 e-bikes, electric mopeds often do not require pedaling and can maintain speeds above 20 mph.

Lightning 3000 Key Specs:

  • Top Speed: 40+ mph (unlockable to higher speeds where legal)
  • Range: 40–50 miles per charge
  • Motor: High-torque electric motor for instant acceleration
  • Brakes: Hydraulic disc system for maximum safety
