The short answer
Outside the e-bike definition in 4 of 40 evaluated jurisdictions

01 / What it is
The machine, in the manufacturer’s own terms
Ride1Up calls the Prodigy V2 (2026 U.S. configuration) a electric commuter bicycle (mid-drive). The manufacturer programs and labels it as a Class 3 electric bicycle. A manufacturer’s class label is shown here, but it never bypasses the spec check below.

Every figure traces to a fetched source
The facts that decide the verdict
- Motor — nominal (rated)
- Not publishedThe product page names a "Brose TF Sprinter German made mid-drive motor with 90nm torque" but does not state a rated/nominal wattage. The check relies on the verified class, top speed, and operable pedals rather than an asserted wattage.Unverified — no fetched source states this.
- Motor — peak / maximum
- Not publishedNot stated on the fetched product page (a torque figure is given, not a wattage).Unverified — no fetched source states this.
- Vehicle top speed
- 28 mphHighest motor-powered speed (28 mph pedal assist).Ride1Up Prodigy V2 — official product page
- Pedal-assist cutoff
- 28 mphProduct page: "Class 3 electric bike, with 28mph pedal assist".Ride1Up Prodigy V2 — official product page
- Throttle-only cutoff
- None / not publishedNo throttle is listed on the product page, so there is no throttle cutoff to state.Unverified — no fetched source states this.
- Throttle present
- NoThe product page lists a Brose mid-drive with a torque sensor and no throttle anywhere in its specifications; its FAQ notes most mid-drives forgo a throttle. But the page does not explicitly state that a throttle is absent, so throttle presence is left unverified and is not used as a defeating fact.Unverified — no fetched source states this.
- Fully operable pedals
- YesProduct page: a mid-drive with a full drivetrain and an integrated torque sensor; the bike can be pedalled like a traditional bicycle.Ride1Up Prodigy V2 — official product page
- Manufacturer-claimed class
- Class 3Product page: "Class 3 electric bike". A manufacturer class label never bypasses the spec check.Ride1Up Prodigy V2 — official product page

Nominal (rated) and peak power are kept separate — never merged into the statutory motor rating. Facts marked Unverified could not be confirmed from a fetched manufacturer source and are excluded from the per-state defeating-fact logic. Classification facts (Brose mid-drive with an integrated torque sensor, Class 3 with pedal assist to 28 mph, four pedal-assist levels, Maxxis 27.5" x 2.4" tires, two wheels, full pedalled drivetrain) taken from Ride1Up's official Prodigy V2 product page. The page states torque but no motor wattage, so nominal and peak power are left unverified. No throttle is listed, but the page does not explicitly state a throttle is absent, so throttle presence is left unverified and is not used as a defeating fact. Fixed single-class Class 3. Re-verify quarterly.
03 / Why it is — or isn’t — an e-bike
The definitional facts that decide it
Every state’s electric-bicycle definition turns on the same handful of facts: operable pedals, motor power, and how fast the motor keeps assisting. This machine’s cited figures — no throttle, motor assistance to 28 mph, and fully operable pedals — are run against each state’s electric-bicycle definition below. Where a state isn’t verified here yet, the row says so rather than guessing.
