Legal regulations
Within the scope of the European
Union, there are different types of
pedelecs and e-bikes for which dif-
ferent legal regulations apply.
A pedelec (pedal electric cycle) is a
bicycle in which the rider is assisted by an electric
drive when pedalling. Its engine can go up to 250
Watts (UK: 200 W), and its maximum speed limit
is 25 km/h. It is therefore still considered to be
a bicycle which does not need to be registered.
The S-pedelec is the faster model. Once again
assistance is only provided when pedalling, but
it has a more powerful engine. It is generally 350
to 500 Watts and has a cut-off speed of 45 km/h.
It is therefore regarded as a moped, light motor-
cycle or motorbike depending on location and is
required by law to be registered and insured in
Germany.
Find out about the relevant national
stipulations that apply to you! Check
your cycle passport to see which
type of pedelec you have. Respect the legal
regulations. Also, ask your specialist retailer.
Check whether your third party lia-
bility insurance covers possible
damage caused by using an
pedelec.
Info
EU According to EU law, a pedelec is under
the same category as a bicycle and, there-
fore, has the same requirements. The rules for
using pedelec paths are also the same as for bi-
cycles. Special rules may apply outside the EU
and in some EU regions. Please stay informed
about the national regulations applicable in your
specic country.
To use bike paths with your pedelec, please con-
sult the applicable legal practice in your country.
The regulations governing the operation of a
pedelec and the requirements regarding mini-
mum age, certicates, ofcial licenses and hel-
met requirements may vary in different countries.
The same applies to the obligatory use of cycle
paths. Please inform yourself about the applica-
ble legal practice.
Separate regulations for S-pedelecs / e-bikes
If pedal assistance is provided above 25 km/h,
it is not considered a pedelec / e-bike according
to Directive 2002/24/EC which has since ex-
pired. According to the current EU Regulation
2013/168/EU, type approval/approval for specic
use is mandatory.
According to EU law:
Speed pedelecs (S-Pedelec) are legally cat-
egorised as two-wheeled motor vehicles in
class L1e, subcategory L1e-B (mopeds).
On journeys using engine assistance only, you
are not permitted to ride over 18 km/h.
The engine assistance switches off when you
reach approx. 45 km/h.
A driving licence is required. The moped test
certicate is mandatory.
A driving license is required. Please inform
yourself about the applicable regulations re-
garding licenses. It is possible that a minimum
age is enough to be allowed to ride without a
driving license.
If you have a national driving license for a car,
the required permission may be covered by
this.
You are required by law to wear a helmet and
be insured. Before setting out on a ride, nd
out about the legal stipulations that apply to
you.
