California Vehicle Code Section 312.5 sorts e-bikes into Classes 1, 2, and 3 based on speed and throttle, controlling where Moorpark riders can operate on multi-use paths, bike lanes, and Conejo Valley open-space trails.
Class 1 e-bikes are pedal-assist only up to 20 mph and may use any path or bike lane open to bicycles. Class 2 e-bikes have a throttle but cap at 20 mph and follow the same rules unless local agencies post specific path restrictions. Class 3 e-bikes are pedal-assist up to 28 mph, require riders age 16 or older, mandate helmets at all ages, and are generally prohibited on Class I multi-use paths and many open-space trails operated by COSCA and Mountain Recreation Conservation Authority. CVC 21213 requires e-bikes to bear factory-applied class labels.
Riding a Class 3 e-bike on a prohibited path can trigger park or trail citations from Ventura County Sheriff or open-space rangers, with fines varying by jurisdiction.
