INFO
Before riding your Whyte eBike please inform yourself of all
applicable legal requirements to ride safely in your country/state.
Please ensure adequate safety restrictions are obeyed with regards
to lighting, licenses, helmet and insurance requirements. Whyte Bikes

An eBike/pedelec is a bicycle where the rider is assisted when pedalling.
The motor can legally go up to 250 Watts with a maximum assisted speed of
25Km/h. Any bike that exceeds these limits is considered to be a moped or
light motorcycle depending upon country/state law.
Under EU and UK law eBikes/pedelec's fall under the same category as
bicycles. These laws may differ or special rules may apply dependant upon
region so please take the time to educate yourself before riding. It is extremely
important to obey the regulations governing the operation of an eBike/pedelec
and the requirements regarding minimum age, certificates, licenses, insurance
and helmets.

Do not tamper with your eBike/pedelec's electrical system in any way.
Unauthorised modifications will void your bikes warranty, and make
the product unsafe, whilst endangering the user and others. Making
any changes to increase the speed or performance could incur legal
problems. Any maintenance to the electrical system must be carried
out by a professional accredited mechanic and all replacement parts
must be original. For further assistance please consult your Whyte
retailer or motor manufacturer.

may be restrictions on riding your bicycle with certain or any accessory(ies).
