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
certificate 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, find
out about the legal stipulations that apply to
you.
• In general, parts can only be replaced by iden-
tical parts. Other parts may only be installed
if they comply with your speed pedelec's type
approval. Specialist retailers may have lists of
alternative parts which also comply with your
speed pedelec's type approval.
• Child seats may only be installed in speed
pedelecs after the express approval of the
manufacturer of the speed pedelec and if two
seats are indicated in the type approval.
• Passenger trailers are not permitted for
speed pedelecs, not even with approval from
the speed pedelec or trailer manufacturer.
• The blood-alcohol level limit is the same as
when driving a car depending on the appli-
cable legal stipulations.
These regulations also apply to you if you are
within the scope of the European Union. Other
regulations may apply in other countries, includ-
ing some European nations in isolated cases.
Please inform yourself about the applicable leg-
islation for using your speed pedelec.
Intended use
Pedelecs are means of transport
deigned to be ridden by one person.
Transporting an additional person
on the bike is only permitted in the frame-
work of national legislation. A tandem is ex-
empt from this.
If you would like to transport baggage, your
pedelec needs to be fitted with suitable equip-
ment. Children may be transported in child
seats or in trailers intended for this purpose.
Pay attention to quality. Ensure that you do
not exceed the maximum permissible weight.
Permissible total weight: weight
of the rider + weight of
the pedelec + weight of the battery
+ weight of the baggage + weight of the trail-
er (if the trailer is permitted) (see page D).
Dangers of improper use
Only use your pedelec for its in-
tended use. Please read
the section "Intended Use" in the original
instruction manual. This also includes ad-
herence to the operating, servicing and
maintenance conditions that are described
in this manual. Inform other users of the in-
tended use and the dangers of not adhering
to it. Improper use, overloading and lack of
maintenance may lead to accidents and falls
involving severe injuries to you and other
