Keep in mind that every bicycle type is built for a specific intended
use. Be sure to use your CUBE EPO pedelec only according to its in-
tended use, as it may otherwise not withstand the stress, fail and
cause an accident with unforeseeable consequences! Using it for an-
other than the intended use will also void the warranty.

(

ycles) are bicycles with auxiliary motor
that only switches on when the pedals are moved by the rider.
You do not need a driver’s licence for riding a CUBE EPO pedelec,
if the motor assistance switches off automatically at a speed of 25
kph/15 mph.
Unlimited use of cycle lanes is permitted with pedelecs. Wearing
a helmet is recommended, but not compulsory.
CUBE EPO pedelecs are designed for cycling exclusively on lanes
and roads with a smooth surface. Only use trails that are allowed
for bicycles. Pedelecs are not suitable for off-road use. Using
pedelecs off-road can result in crashes with unforeseeable conse-
quences.
2.
speed pedelecs or s-pedelecs
are bicycles with auxiliary motor
that provides assistance to the rider even beyond speeds of 25
kph/15 mph.
For riding these speed pedelecs you need an insurance as well as
a driving licence. Inform yourself about the regulations for riding
a speed pedelec in your country.
Do not use speed pedelecs on cycle lanes. Wearing a helmet is
recommended, but not compulsory.
