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.

Certifications & Standards

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.

E-Bike Class Explained

What does Class 1 actually mean?

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.

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 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
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 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.
A lightweight, sporty step-through for everyday adventure

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.

FeatureSpecWhy 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.
A vintage-inspired step-through cruiser for everyday errands

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.
