In Oregon*, the Dart
Electrics you still ride like a bike, following the same
rules of the road as a bicycle would.
It is rated by the manufacturer as a 300 watt nominal motor (although I think it's a bit higher, it is certainly not over 1000) and it's top speed is about 18 miles per hour. With it's peddles installed, you can be considered a bicycle and can go on bike trails (though it's not been "tested" yet with the Parks and Recreation Department), and off street park roads, like the Spring Water Corridor; although you may be estranged to the other bicyclists who may be "purists", but are not right when it comes to where you are suppose to be. You may be stopped by the local cops until they realize you are electric and you show them a copy of your Invoice, and the Oregon Laws cheat sheet, simply because of the large body shell on it. However, it's rather like a kitten with fluffy fur - get it wet and you are shocked at how little there actually is. Yet, the larger shell provides an attractive look and make them easier to spot, making it safer - in our opinion. *Check your state's laws regarding the use of this class of vehicle.
