3. E-bike type
Hermansen e-bikes are of the pedelec e-bike type.
Pedelec stands for Pedal Electrical Cycle, also
referred to as EPAC, which stands for Electrically
Power Assisted Cycle.
The motor assist is activated by a pedal action sensor
designed to detect when the pedal is being turned.
This means that the bike provides motor assistance
only when you start to pedal, and when you stop
pedalling the motor stops supporting too. It makes
pedalling easy and feels like riding with constant tail
wind.

purpose may cause damage to the bike, risk injury,
and void your warranty on the e-bike.
Pay attention to the maximum permissible total

equipment and luggage) which is = 110 kg. If you carry
cargo or extra weight, make sure the bike is stable
and is within the maximum permissible total weight
DANGER!
If luggage is not properly handled and

• The e-bike is not compatible with indoor trainers
or rollers. Do not attempt to use the bike in
conjunction with these.
• We do not recommend fitting a child seat or trailer

Terms of use and maintenance described in
this manual are part of the intended use. The
manufacturer or dealer accepts no liability or
warranty if the e-bike is used out of the intended

overloaded or improperly deficiencies are eliminated.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by
installation errors, intent, crashes and poor care or
poor maintenance.
6. Legal national and local requirements
If you want to ride your e-bike on public roads, your
e-bike must be equipped in accordance with national
and local laws and regulations. It is important to note
that the specific laws, rules, and guidelines governing
e-bike use may vary from country to country.
Pedelecs are limited to 25 km/h (15.5 mph) in Europe.
In the United States, the limit is 32 km/h (20 mph).
Motor assistance is cut off above those designated
speeds. The A-weighted emission sound pressure
level at the driver’s ears must be less than 70 dB(A).
The braking system of an e-bike must have at least
two independently functioning brakes (front and
rear wheel). The mode of operation is not strictly
regulated.
Pay attention to legal requirements regarding lighting
and reflectors on your e-bike.
In general, pedelecs are viewed by law as more similar
to a conventional bicycle than a motorised scooter or
motorcycle. In most cases, an e-bike can be ridden in
bike lanes, on bike paths, and can be locked to bike
racks like a regular bike.
