1. Safety
1.1 Legal requirements
Like all cycles, the bike must comply with the requirements of the national highway
code. The legal requirements set out below are applicable to the bike:
• The motor may only be used to assist pedalling, i.e. it must only “help” when the bike user
applies effort to the pedals him or herself. The walk assist function is an exception to this
is, it helps you when wheeling the bike.
• The average motor power rating must not exceed 250 W. As speed increases motor
power must continue to drop progressively.
• The motor must cut out at (approximately) 25 km/h.

ventilation). These components (especially the battery) can be damaged by extreme
temperatures.
