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 — every Bluejay bike is built with safety at its core.

Premiere Lite Bluejay WILD: Adult Bluejay WILD: Kids
Certifications & Standards

Built to the highest safety standards

Class 1 Certified

Every Bluejay adult bike is Class 1 — 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 — the gold standard for e-bike electrical systems and battery safety. This is the specification that matters most for battery fire prevention.

No Throttle — Any Model

Not a default setting — 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 — the US consumer safety standard for bike helmets.

E-Bike Class Explained

What does Class 1 actually mean?

A Class 1 e-bike means the motor only engages when you are pedaling — 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 — 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 — but lower

Capped at 12 mph (Small) and 15 mph (Medium) — age-appropriate speeds with the same classification.

Battery Safety

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 — 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
General Riding Tips

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.

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.

Before You Ride

Pre-Ride Checklist

Run through these 8 checks before every ride to stay safe and confident.

1

Brakes

Squeeze each brake lever while walking the bike to ensure it stops smoothly. Levers should feel firm.

2

Tires

Check for good tread, no damage or bulges. Wheels should spin straight and spokes should be tight.

3

Steering

Handlebars and stem should be properly aligned and securely tightened.

4

Chain

Clean, lubricated, and moving smoothly. Extra care in wet or dusty conditions.

5

Cranks & Pedals

Pedals must be tightly secured. Cranks should be firmly connected.

6

Battery

Charge fully before use and lock securely into the frame.

7

Lights

All connections clean, dry, and fully seated. Confirm lights work and are unobstructed.

8

Helmet

Fitted and fastened. Every ride, every time.

Parent-designed kids e-bike built for safety and freedom

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 — 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 — 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 — encouraging, not overwhelming.
Torque Sensor Motor 45Nm Speed is controlled by how hard the rider pedals — 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 — no separate purchase needed.
Like all Bluejay bikes, the WILD Kids is Class 1 and built with UL-compliant components. Learn more about our certifications. Visit the WILD Kids FAQ
A lightweight, sporty step-through for everyday adventure

Bluejay WILD

The WILD is a Class 1 e-bike — 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.

The Premiere Lite offers up to 50 miles of range on its 420Wh battery. The WILD and WILD Kids ranges vary by model, terrain, rider weight, and assist level. In general, most riders get through a full day of riding without needing to recharge.
A full charge typically takes 4 to 5 hours depending on the model and battery level. We recommend charging in a cool, dry, ventilated space and unplugging once the battery is fully charged to avoid overcharging.
When the battery is fully depleted, the pedal-assist motor stops providing assistance. You can continue riding the bike as a regular bicycle — it will feel slightly heavier than an unassisted bike, but it is fully rideable.
Contact Bluejay support to order a replacement charger. Do not use third-party or uncertified chargers, as they can damage the battery and pose a safety risk. Only the charger included with your Bluejay bike is approved for use.
Bluejay batteries are designed to last for hundreds of charge cycles before experiencing noticeable degradation. With proper care — including avoiding extreme temperatures, not overcharging, and storing at a partial charge during long periods of inactivity — the battery should last several years of regular use.
Bluejay e-bikes are designed for everyday riding conditions, including light rain. However, you should avoid submerging the bike or exposing the battery to heavy, sustained rain. After riding in wet conditions, dry the bike and check that all electrical connections are clean and dry.
Yes. Every Bluejay bike is pedal-assist only. The motor engages when you pedal and provides a boost proportional to your effort. When you stop pedalling, the motor stops assisting. It rides like a bike — just with a little help.
Yes. Bluejay bikes are equipped with torque sensor motors that detect how hard you are pedalling and respond with proportional assistance. This makes climbing hills feel smooth and manageable, even on steep terrain.
Yes. You can ride any Bluejay bike with the battery removed or turned off. It will ride like a regular bicycle. The bike may feel slightly heavier without assist, but it is fully functional as an unpowered bike.
The Premiere Lite and WILD Kids use a rear hub motor, which provides smooth, quiet power directly to the rear wheel. The WILD uses torque sensor motors that measure your pedalling effort and respond proportionally. Both types are designed for natural, intuitive riding.
Bluejay bikes feature a simple, distraction-minimised screen that displays only what you need — typically speed, battery level, and light status. The controls are designed to be glanced at, not stared at, so you can keep your eyes on the road.
Before every ride, check your brakes, tires, steering, chain, cranks and pedals, battery charge and lock, lights, and helmet fit. Bluejay provides a full pre-ride checklist on the safety page to walk you through each step.
We recommend a professional tune-up at least once a year, or more often if you ride daily. Regular maintenance keeps your brakes, gears, and battery in optimal condition. Visit the Bluejay service map to find an authorized service partner near you.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the frame, and avoid spraying water directly onto electrical components or the battery contacts. Keep the chain clean and lubricated, and dry the bike thoroughly after riding in wet conditions.
First, check that the battery is charged and properly seated in the frame. Ensure all cable connections are clean, dry, and fully plugged in. If the issue persists, contact Bluejay support for assistance.
