Buzz Bikes hasn’t been around nearly as long as some of the big names in cycling, but the affordable e-bike brand managed to build a pretty broad lineup.

Class 4 e-bikes don’t technically exist in U.S. law. The system only recognizes three classes: Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3.

That’s where the term “Class 4” came from. It’s unofficial, but it stuck. Today, you’ll hear it used everywhere to describe e-bikes that go beyond the 28 mph limit and often pack motors larger than 750 watts.
