11 Replacing components of the fast
Pedelec
As your S-Pedelec is a Category L1e moped, it is neces-
sary to obtain a permit from the Federal Motor Transport
Authority and the technical inspection authority (TÜV),
as is the case with other motor vehicles in Germany. This
S-Pedelec has such a permit.
During the approval process, specific components were
defined as being suitable for use with this vehicle. This
means that the permit for your S-Pedelec only remains
valid if exactly the same approved components are used.
If components are modified or replaced, the same require-
ments apply as for other motor vehicles. You must only
use replacement parts that are certified as approved for
your S-Pedelec. Alternatively, you can have components
approved individually by the technical inspection author-
ity (TÜV).
The following lists show which components of your fast
Pedelec can be replaced and what rules apply.
