Legal regulations
Before riding your bicycle on public
roads, you should inform yourself
about the applicable national regu-
lations in your specific country.
This section provides informa-
tion on how the bicycle has to be
equipped to be permitted to partici-
pate in public road traffic.
Here you can find out which light systems
have to be installed or carried with you and which
brakes the bicycle has to be equipped with.
There is also an explanation of which age restric-
tions apply and what age riders have to be to ride
where. The participation of children in public road
traffic is also addressed here. If there is an obli -
gation to wear a helmet, it is stated here.
Info
Bicycles are intended for transporting
one person at a time. If you are plan-
ning to transport additional people,
you should inform yourself about the applica-
ble national regulations in your specific coun -
try. 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. We recommend not taking any
chances when it comes to quality in this area!
Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum
permissible weight.
