Legal regulations for eBikes

Hey everyone!

Just got my first eBike – a Class 1 hardtail mountain bike – and I'm super stoked to hit some trails and commute with it. As I'm planning my first few rides, I've been diving into the legal side of things, and wow, it's a bit of a maze! I'm in [Your State/Country, e.g., California, UK, Germany], and it seems like the rules for where you can ride, speed limits, and even motor wattage vary wildly.

What's been your experience navigating eBike regulations? Any common pitfalls or surprising rules you've encountered, especially for Class 1 or 2 bikes? I'd love to hear your insights!
