The Freedom to Choose Your E-Bike Class
Patent Pending
Your E-Bike - Legal all the time - Wherever you ride
With E-Bike laws that have a wide range of requirements, the Optibike MMI display allows you to comply with legal limits as you travel to your destination.
Bike paths may be Class 1, a dirt trail you take for a shortcut may allow OHV/Motorcycles, and bike lanes on the road may be Class 3. Instead of being limited to a slow 20 MPH Class 1 E-Bike like you would be traditionally, the MMI allows you to change your mode as you transition each type of bike path, trail, or road.
The MMI enables riders to comply with legal classifications wherever they ride. Built in features prevent riders from breaking laws.
Multi-Class Capability
The release of the Multi Mode Interface (MMI) marks another milestone for Optibike, which has been at the forefront of the electric bike industry for over 20 years. With this new technology, Optibike continues to lead the way in innovation and sustainability, solidifying its position as a leader in the industry.
The new MMI display allows you to pick your E-Bike class, and provides law enforcement a way to verify that you have been riding in the correct mode.

How You Might Use the MMI
You want to ride from your house to a E-MTB trail. The first 10 miles are on city streets and then 2 miles of dedicated bike paths. At the end of the E-MTB trail there is a fire road open to OHV motorcycles that you will ride on for 3 miles until you get back the road which will take you home.
Riding on the Bike Lanes on City Streets – Class 3
On most bike lanes on city streets, a Class 3 E-Bike is legal (Pedelec & Throttle, 28MPH, 750 Watts). After turning on your bike, you select Class 3 on the MMI display. The bike is configured as a Class 3 E-bike. The time and distance in the Class 3 Mode is displayed. You ride the 10 miles until you reach the dedicated bike path.
Riding on the Dedicated Bike Path – Class 2
Most dedicated bike paths in Cities allow Class 2 E-Bikes (Pedelec & Throttle, 20MPH, 750 Watts). At the entrance to the bike path, you turn the bike off and then back on and select Class 2 on the MMI Display. The time and distance in the Class 2 Mode is displayed. You ride the dedicated bike path until you reach the E-MTB trail.
Riding the E-MTB Trail – Class 1
