2 Legal principles

The essential idea behind the Pedelec is not only to be

able to cover greater distances more quickly, but also

more comfortably. You can choose to relax and let the bike

do the work, exert yourself more physically, or simply get

om A to B as fast as possible. You can decide this your-

self by choosing an appropriate assist level.

This gives you more condence on the road, as the pow-

erl acceleration gives you more control and a greater

degree of security. Your Pedelec provides you with power

assistance, the level of which you can vary at the control

panel.

In some EU countries, the Pedelec, like all other bikes,

must comply with certain regulations, the Road Trac

Licensing Regulations (StVZO) in Germany for example.

Please observe the relevant explanations and general

information provided in the General User Manual.

These statutory requirements apply for a Pedelec:

• The motor is designed only to provide pedalling as-

sistance, i.e. it can only "assist" the rider when he/

she turns the pedals.

• The average motor output must not exceed 250 W.

• As the speed increases, the rate at which the motor

output reduces must also increase more intensely.

• The motor must switch o once the bike reaches a

speed of 25km/h.

2.1 Meaning for the rider

• You do not legally have to wear a helmet. In the

interest of your own safety, however, you should

never ride without a helmet.

• You do not legally have to have a driving license

(unless you own a model with pushing assistance,

➠

Chapter 2.2 “Pushing assistance”).

• You do not legally have to have insurance.

• No age restriction applies for a Pedelec.

• The regulations governing the use of cycle paths

are the same as for normal bikes.

These regulations apply to you wherever you are in the

European Union. It is possible that dierent regulations

exist in other countries, also inside the EU in individual

cases. Before using your Pedelec abroad, nd out about

the legal situation in the relevant country.

2.2 Pushing assistance

Your Pedelec is available in a version with or without push-

ing assistance.

Button for pushing assistance

The pushing assistance moves the Pedelec slowly (at a

maximum speed of 6km/h) without you having to turn the

pedals, e.g. if you are manoeuvring in a tight space or are

pushing your Pedelec out of a basement garage.

If you were born aer 01. 04. 1965, you will need a moped

test certicate for the version with pushing assistance. If

you already have another type of driving licence, this au-

tomatically includes the moped test certicate.

The pushing assistance is not suitable for use as starting

assistance.
