Rules and safety
Nevada defines Class 1, 2 and 3 e-bikes with a 750 watt limit (NRS 484B.017). Higher-power electric dirt bikes are above that, so treat them as off-road motorcycles: check Nevada DMV rules and ride only where off-road vehicles are allowed. Speeds above 45 mph demand real skill and full protective gear.
- A properly fitted helmet. Use a motocross or motorcycle helmet for higher-power bikes.
- Gloves, closed shoes or boots, and long sleeves and pants
- Knee and elbow guards, especially for new riders and kids
- Adult supervision and a safe, open place to practice for younger riders
Caring for your Electro & Co battery in Las Vegas heat
- Do not leave the battery or bike in a hot car or on a hot patio in summer. Heat shortens lithium battery life.
- Let the battery cool down after a hard ride before you plug it in.
- Use the charger that came with your bike, and charge on a hard, non-flammable surface where you can see it.
- For long storage, leave the battery partly charged rather than full or empty, and keep it somewhere cool and dry.
- If the battery is swollen, smells odd or gets very hot, stop using it and contact the shop.
When your Electro & Co arrives
- Look the box and bike over before you sign, and take photos if anything is damaged.
- Ask us before delivery how the bike ships and what assembly or setup is needed.
- Check the tires, brakes, bolts and wheels before the first ride.
- Charge the battery fully using the supplied charger before you ride.
- Contact us if anything looks wrong. Do not ride a bike you are unsure about.
Questions to ask any dealer before you buy
- Are you an authorized dealer for this brand? (We are, for the brands we carry.)
- Who services the bike after the sale?
- What does the warranty cover and who handles claims?
- What is the repair price for common jobs like flats and brake pads?
- How is the bike shipped, and how is damage handled?
