Members and qualified guests of the Charles River Wheelers may ride bicycles with electric assist motors (e-bikes) on all club group rides and events with the same benefits and responsibilities of any rider, provided:

• The bicycle must be pedal-assist (specifically, the bike does not move without pedaling). Throttled e-bikes are prohibited.
• Riding other than on a public roadway is under the rules and the jurisdiction of the governing body.
• It is the rider’s responsibility to know and obey CRW’s policy and the law.
• All riders are to conform with CRW guidelines and policies.
• An e-bike rider should be certain they have sufficient battery reserve for the ride they have chosen. It is not CRW’s responsibility to ensure that the e-bike rider is returned to the ride start should they run out of battery.
