Designed to keep you riding with confidence.
Whether you are a first-time rider, a parent choosing an e-bike for your child, or a daily commuter โ every Bluejay bike is built with safety at its core.
Built to the highest safety standards
Class 1 Certified
Every Bluejay adult bike is Class 1 โ pedal-assist only, capped at 20 mph. Under federal law, Class 1 e-bikes are treated as bicycles and are welcome on virtually every bike path, lane, and trail in the US.
UL 2849 Components
Bluejay bikes are built with UL 2849-compliant components โ the gold standard for e-bike electrical systems and battery safety. This is the specification that matters most for battery fire prevention.
No Throttle โ Any Model
Not a default setting โ a deliberate design decision. No Bluejay bike, adult or kids, has a throttle. Pedal-assist only means no sudden acceleration and no motor vehicle behavior.
Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Every model ships with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes. Consistent, powerful stopping in wet or dry conditions, on every bike we sell.
CPSC-Certified Helmets
Every helmet sold by Bluejay carries a CPSC certification sticker โ the US consumer safety standard for bike helmets.

A Class 1 e-bike means the motor only engages when you are pedaling โ and stops automatically when you reach 20 mph. There is no throttle, no sudden acceleration, and no motor vehicle registration required.
It rides like a bike. Just with a little help on the hills.
Allowed on virtually every US bike path
Class 1 bikes are treated as bicycles under federal law โ not motor vehicles.
No license or registration required
In most US states. Always check your local municipality.
Speed cap is automatic, not a setting
The motor cuts off at 20 mph. You can pedal faster, but you won't get assist above that threshold.
WILD Kids is also Class 1 โ but lower
Capped at 12 mph (Small) and 15 mph (Medium) โ age-appropriate speeds with the same classification.
Charge smart. Ride safe.
Proper battery care is the single most important thing you can do for e-bike safety. Follow these guidelines for every charge.
Do
- Charge with the included Bluejay charger only
- Charge in a cool, dry, ventilated space
- Unplug once fully charged โ avoid overcharging
- Store indoors during very cold winters
- Keep battery contacts clean and dry
- Contact support if you notice unusual heat or swelling
Avoid
- Using third-party or uncertified chargers
- Leaving the bike charging overnight unattended
- Charging in extreme heat or direct sunlight
- Storing with a fully depleted battery for long periods
- Submerging or exposing the battery to heavy rain
- Attempting to open or modify the battery housing
Ride smarter every time
Always Wear a Helmet
A CPSC-certified helmet is the single most effective piece of safety equipment. Wear one on every ride, no exceptions.
Shop helmets →Stay Visible
Use your front and rear lights, even during the day. Wear bright or reflective clothing in low-light conditions.
Know Your Local Laws
E-bike regulations vary by state and municipality. Check your local rules for where Class 1 e-bikes are allowed.
Keep Up with Maintenance
Schedule regular tune-ups and check brakes, tires, and battery before extended rides. Prevention beats repair.
Use Hand Signals
Signal your turns and stops to drivers and pedestrians. Predictable riding keeps everyone safe.
Adjust for Wet Weather
Reduce speed, increase following distance, and brake earlier in rain. Your hydraulic brakes are designed for wet conditions, but caution helps.
Pre-Ride Checklist
Run through these 8 checks before every ride to stay safe and confident.
Brakes
Squeeze each brake lever while walking the bike to ensure it stops smoothly. Levers should feel firm.
Tires
Check for good tread, no damage or bulges. Wheels should spin straight and spokes should be tight.
Steering
Handlebars and stem should be properly aligned and securely tightened.
Chain
Clean, lubricated, and moving smoothly. Extra care in wet or dusty conditions.
Cranks & Pedals
Pedals must be tightly secured. Cranks should be firmly connected.
Battery
Charge fully before use and lock securely into the frame.
Lights
All connections clean, dry, and fully seated. Confirm lights work and are unobstructed.
Helmet
Fitted and fastened. Every ride, every time.
Bluejay WILD Kids
The WILD Kids was built from the ground up with parents in mind. Its speed is capped and tamper-proof, its brakes are the same hydraulic disc brakes we put on our adult bikes, and it's Class 1 โ so it rides like a bike, not a motor vehicle. Whether your child is just starting out or ready to explore farther, the WILD Kids gives them independence without leaving you guessing.
| Feature | Spec | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Tamper-Proof Speed | 12 mph (S) / 15 mph (M) | Cannot be increased by the child. Hardcoded at firmware level โ not a setting. These speeds match a developing rider's reaction time. |
| Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes | Same spec as adult bikes | Better stopping power than mechanical cable brakes. Especially important at speed. Same brakes used on adult Bluejay models. |
| No Throttle | Pedal-assist only | No sudden acceleration. Pedal assist feels like a gentle push from a parent โ encouraging, not overwhelming. |
| Torque Sensor Motor | 45Nm | Speed is controlled by how hard the rider pedals โ intuitive, predictable, not jerky or sudden. |
| Simple Screen | Distraction-minimised | Less screen = more eyes on the road. Shows only what the rider needs. |
| Front Light + Bell | Included standard | Visibility and audible warning included from day one โ no separate purchase needed. |
Bluejay WILD
The WILD is a Class 1 e-bike โ meaning the motor only engages when you pedal, and the speed caps automatically at 20 mph. That's not a limitation; it's a deliberate design choice that keeps you in control on bike paths, city streets, and trails alike. With hydraulic disc brakes and a torque-sensing motor that responds to your pedalling rather than a throttle, the WILD is built for riders who want to feel confident in any conditions.
| Feature | Spec | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 Speed Cap | 20 mph max | Motor stops assisting at 20 mph and cannot be tampered with. Class 1 bikes are allowed wherever regular bikes are allowed in most states. |
| Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes | Best-in-class | At 20 mph, stopping power matters. Hydraulic outperforms cable brakes in all conditions, including wet weather. |
| No Throttle | Pedal-assist only | You stay in control of pace. No accidental acceleration, more natural riding feel. |
| Torque Sensor Motor | 45Nm | Motor responds proportionally to pedalling effort โ smooth, predictable power rather than on/off surges. |
| Simple Screen | Speed, battery, lights | Designed to glance at, not stare at. Displays only what you need. |
| Front Light + Bell | Included standard | Visibility in low light and audible warning โ both included, no accessories required. |
Premiere Lite
The Premiere Lite is a Class 1 e-bike built for real-life riding โ school pickups, grocery runs, and the daily commute. Its rear hub motor engages only when you pedal, keeping you firmly in control, while the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and Shimano Deore 10-speed ensure smooth, confident stops in any condition. Front and rear lights are included standard, so you're visible from the moment you ride off.
| Feature | Spec | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 Speed Cap | 20 mph max | Class 1 classification means the Lite is welcome on virtually every bike path and lane in the US. Motor stops at 20 mph automatically. |
| Tektro Hydraulic Disc Brakes | Best-in-class | Extra stopping power for confident braking โ especially when carrying cargo or riding in wet conditions. |
| 350W Rear Hub Motor | Non-throttle, pedal-assist | Motor only engages when you pedal. Smooth, natural feel โ not a scooter experience. |
| Battery Range | 420Wh / up to 50 miles | Enough range for a full week of errands on a single charge. Long range reduces risk of being stranded mid-ride. |
| Shimano Deore 10-Speed | Smooth gear changes | Reliable shifting makes it easier to manage speed and terrain safely without fumbling the drivetrain. |
| Front + Rear Lights | Included standard | Both lights ship with every Lite โ no add-ons needed for safe low-light riding. |
| Aluminium Frame | Lightweight, stable | Stable geometry reduces wobble. Lighter frame is easier to handle at low speeds and when parking. |
