23. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE L1e S-PEDELEC AND PEDELEC
The L1e S-Pedelec/ bicycle is delivered as a speed Pedelec in the class L1e with support up to a maximum of 45 km/h. The class L1e counts as
a lightweight motorcycle according to guideline 2002/24/EG. On request, the bicycle support can be reduced to 25 km/h by your Authorized
Specialized Dealer, which would lead to classification as a Pedelec under EN 15194 and therefore as a bicycle.
A. Regulations for L1e S-Pedelecs
Mirror
License plate
If your bicycle supports speeds faster than 25 km/h,
it is not a Pedelec pursuant to guideline 2002/24/
EG, and it therefore requires type and individual
vehicle approval.
The national regulations are as follows:
Germany:
Speed Pedelecs are legally categorized as mopeds in
class L1e.
On journeys using motor support only (using speed switch,
no pedaling), you are not permitted to ride over 20 km/h.
Using pedal-assist, the motor support switches off when
you reach approximately 45 km/h.
Making helmets compulsory is currently being discussed,
please inform yourself about the applicable regulations
before using your bicycle. However, we strongly
recommend wearing a suitable bicycle helmet.
Riding this type of Pedelec requires a driver’s license.
The legal requirement is for a moped license. If you have
a German driver’s license, the latter is included in this.
If you were born before 1.4.1965, you are permitted to drive a L1e S-Pedelec without a driver’s license.
You are obligated to have insurance.
These regulations also apply to you if you are within the scope of the European Union. Differing regulations may apply in other countries, including
other European nations in isolated cases. Please inform yourself about the applicable legislation before using your L1e S-Pedelec.
B. L1e S-Pedelecs and cycle paths
If you use your L1e S-Pedelec like you would a normal bicycle, without the support of the electric motor, you are permitted to use all cycle paths
without limitation. The following applies if you use the motor:
L1e S-Pedelec bicycles are only permitted to use cycle paths if motor vehicles are allowed.
Please inform yourself about the applicable national regulations in your specific country.
Speed switch
The L1e S-Pedelec also has a speed switch. Your L1e S-Pedelec is not designed to exceed 20 km/h if you press the joystick up or down and do not
turn the pedals. That is why you have to inform yourself about the applicable regulations before using this vehicle.
WARNING! The additional force from the motor could mean that you travel at a considerably higher speed than you are used to on your
bicycle. Please take this into account when familiarizing yourself with the L1e S-Pedelec.
C. Intended use
WARNING! L1e S-Pedelecs/Pedelecs are intended for transporting one person at a time. If you are planning to transport additional people,
then the regulations of the StVO apply in Germany. An exception to this is the tandem, for instance. If you would like to transport luggage, this
requires that your bicycle is fitted with suitable equipment. Children can only be transported in children’s seats or trailers intended for this
purpose on the Pedelecs at a maximum support speed of 25 km/h. We recommend not taking any chances when it comes to quality in this
area. Vehicles in the class L1e are not permitted to use a child’s seat or trailer. A cargo trailer is allowed for both Pedelecs and L1e S-Pedelecs.
Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum permissible weight of 134 kg (see page 23).
Permitted weight: Bicycle weight (A)+ Rider’s weight (B) + Baggage weight (excluding trailers) (C).
Using the bicycle as intended also means adhering to the operating, maintenance and upkeep conditions
described in this manual. If your bicycle is equipped in line with national law, the bicycle may be used on public
roads and on paved surfaces.
Your bicycle has been approved by the manufacturer for installing a child seat and trailer. Please inform yourself about the applicable national
regulations in your specific country relating to the use of a child seat or trailer. Trailers in particular are not allowed in every country.
WARNING! Do not allow children to use the bicycle unattended and without detailed instruction! Ensure that children understand the
dangers of using electrical devices. Please refer to your country’s regulations for minimum age requirements.
The manufacturer and dealer do not assume any liability for activities above and beyond the intended use. This particularly applies for not adhering to
safety advice and damage resulting from this, for instance: off-road use, carrying excess weight or making improper repairs to defects.
The bicycle is not generally designed to withstand extreme stress, such as riding down steps or over jumps.
