Legal regulations
• You are legally required to hold a driver’s
license. This should be a moped licence ac-
cording to the regulations.
• However, if you own a German driver’s
licence, a moped licence is already cov-
ered by this.
• If you were born before 1.4.1965, you are
also permitted to ride a Speed FLYER with-
out a driver‘s license.
• You are legally required to hold insurance
for your speed pedelec.
• Your use of cycle paths is restricted.
Speed pedelecs and the use of cycle tracks
Even if you use your speed pedelec or pedelec
with pushing aid like a bicycle, i.e. without the
support of the electrical motor, you are gen-
erally not permitted to use cycle paths within
urban areas unless there is a specific sign ap-
proving this (“Mofas frei”).
Outside urban areas, you may generally ride
your speed pedelec on cycle paths, unless it is
not permitted by specific signs (“Keine Mofas”).
The start aid
Your Speed FLYER is also equipped with a start
aid. This enables you to ride purely using motor
power. You can therefore drive without having
to turn the pedals. This covers a range up to a
maximum speed of 20 km/h.
3.3 Austria
The pedelec and the applicable legal princi-
ples (Austria)
In Austria, electrically-powered bicycles with:
1. a highest permissible capacity not exceed-
ing 600 watts and
2. a model-dependent speed of a maximum of
25 km/h
does not apply as a motor vehicle but as a
bicycle.
Legally, no differentiation is made between
pedelecs which only have the motor turned on
while turning the pedals and e-bikes, which do
not necessarily require pedalling.
A pedelec has to be used in cycle lanes, un-
less it has more than two wheels and is up to
80 cm wide or is pulling a trailer up to 80 cm
wide. Then you also have the choice of driving
on the road outside of the cycle lane.
Driver’s licence and permission
• No driver’s license is required.
• Minimum age, from which you can drive
without accompaniment: 12 years old, un-
less you have acquired a children’s bicycle
license.
• The same equipment regulations apply as
for conventional bicycles.
The pushing aid
A so-called pushing aid is installed in some
models.
This is capable of propelling your pedelec
slowly up to a maximum of 6 km/h, without you
having to turn the pedals.
The speed pedelec and the applicable legal
principles (Austria)
To operate a speed pedelec in Austria, please
inform yourself about the current applicable
legislation.
