Recorded category
E-bike, according to the IsItRoadLegal.ie classification of 31 Oct 2026 (IRL Classifier, thresholds version 2026-10-31c). This is a match of the published specs against the official category thresholds, not a confirmation from an authority.
- Official thresholds used: gov.ie, Find Your Category; RSA, Powered personal transportation
- Spec sources used: Tenways product page; MIVICE hub-motor table; CGO600 Pro manual (dealer-hosted PDF); Tenways Help Center
- Rule matched (as recorded): Mivice M070 rear hub motor, 250 W rated power (MIVICE motor table; motor named by Tenways); pedal assist only (torque sensor, modes 0-3 plus WALK); no throttle found (Tenways product page, FAQ and the CGO600 Pro manual's list of controls); walk assist below 6 km/h (Tenways Help Center); motor stops assisting at 25 km/h (tenways.com).
Caveats recorded with this classification:
- The CGO600 Pro manual used for the mode and control list is a copy hosted by a dealer (roadrider.nl).
- The rated power comes from the motor maker's table (MIVICE), matched by the motor model that Tenways names.
- Walk assist up to 6 km/h is treated as compatible with pedal assist only under our evidence rules. This follows the EN 15194 standard and is not an Irish ruling.
Unlocking or modifying this e-bike
The E-bike class on this page covers the bike as sold, measured against gov.ie's e-bike requirements: up to 250 watts continuous rated power, a motor that cuts off when pedalling stops, and assistance that cuts off before 25 km/h (gov.ie, E-Bikes). gov.ie says: "An electronic bicycle that does not meet these technical requirements is categorised as an e-moped" (gov.ie, E-Bikes). Under s.16, a bicycle that can be propelled solely by electrical power (design speed of at least 6 km/h), or a pedal-assisted one with a motor over 0.25 kW, is a "mechanically propelled vehicle" (Road Traffic and Roads Act 2023, s.16(b)).
If the motor keeps running when pedalling stops, gov.ie says "this is a throttle-assisted L1e-A or L1e-B e-moped", requiring "registration, motor tax and insurance" and a Category AM licence (gov.ie, Find Your Category; gov.ie, L1e-B). gov.ie's L1e-A page words insurance differently: "where the vehicle weighs more than 25kg and has a maximum design speed greater than 14 kilometres per hour" (gov.ie, L1e-A). The RSA says an e-moped without a Certificate of Conformity "can't be registered", and "If it can't be registered, it can't be used in a public place" (RSA).

Manufacturer unlock / private-use mode
If a vehicle has a mode that exceeds the e-bike limits that gov.ie lists (up to 250 watts continuous rated power, a motor that cuts off when pedalling stops, and assistance that cuts off before 25 km/h), gov.ie says: "An electronic bicycle that does not meet these technical requirements is categorised as an e-moped" (gov.ie, E-Bikes). Where the motor "continues to run when pedalling stops", gov.ie says "this is a throttle-assisted L1e-A or L1e-B e-moped" (gov.ie, Find Your Category). On fitted parts, the definition in s.16 covers a bicycle "with an attachment for propelling it solely by mechanical power or solely by electrical power, whether or not the attachment is being used", with a maximum design speed of at least 6 km/h, as a "mechanically propelled vehicle" (Road Traffic and Roads Act 2023, s.16(b)).

Published specs
| Spec | Value | Source | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motor continuous rated power | 250 W (MIVICE: "M070 Rear Hub Motor – Rated Power (W) 250"; Tenways: "Mivice M070 Rear Hub Motor (250W Power, 40 Nm Max. Torque)") | MIVICE; Tenways | |
| Motor peak power | Not verified (no peak power figure published) | Tenways | |
| Assistance cut-off speed | 25 km/h ("Top Speed 25 km/h* – The motor will stop giving assist at the stated top speed") | Tenways | |
| Pedal assist | Yes ("Magnetic Torque Sensor"; assist stops at 25 km/h) | Tenways | |
| Throttle | Not found in the sources checked (the manual's "Button Definitions" list only "Power button, Function button, Up button, Down button"; modes "0, 1, 2, 3, and a WALK mode"; the Tenways FAQ does not mention a throttle) | Manual (PDF); Tenways FAQ; Tenways | |
| Motor runs without pedalling | No (recorded under our evidence rules: pedal assist only, no throttle found, walk assist below 6 km/h) | Manual (PDF); Tenways Help Center; Tenways | |
| Walk assist | Yes ("Long press Down button for 2 seconds to activate WALK mode") | Manual (PDF) | |
| Walk-assist speed | Below 6 km/h (Tenways Help Center: "The expected speed should be below 6 km/h") | Tenways Help Center | |
| Weight | 16 kg per Tenways ("CGO600 Pro Classic Edition: Net weight: 16 kg (excluding all accessories)"; New Edition 17 kg; full weight 18/19 kg). Conflicting figure: the Irish retailer lists "Net weight: 15 kg". This difference does not change the recorded category: in our classification thresholds (rules/thresholds.json, version 2026-10-31c) the e-bike class has no weight limit, and the 25 kg net-weight limit is an e-scooter criterion. Likewise, the statutory definition of "pedal bicycle" contains no weight limit, while "a maximum weight unladen of 25 kilograms" appears in the definition of "powered personal transporter" (Road Traffic and Roads Act 2023, s.16(c) and (e)) | Tenways; 360cycles.ie | |
| Seat | Not verified (not stated on the pages checked) | Tenways | |
| CoC / type-approval number | Not verified (none published) | Tenways | |
| Throttle kit sold separately by the Irish retailer | Not verified (no throttle kit offered or mentioned on the retailer page) | 360cycles.ie | |
| Manufacturer unlock / off-road mode | Not stated by the manufacturer (no unlock, off-road or private-use mode found on the Tenways product page or in the CGO600 Pro manual checked on 31 Oct 2026). As shipped: Not stated | Tenways; Manual (PDF) |
