Introduction
E-bikes & speed E-bikes
Over the last 15 years the E-bike category has become
enormously popular. Today you will fi nd all sorts of E-bikes.
The current market of E-bikes with pedal assistance consists
of two main types of E-bikes with their own legal framework:
• Regular E-bikes with a maximum pedal assisted speed up to
25 km/h, called EPAC’s (Electrically Pedal Assisted Cycles).
• And Type-approved E-bikes with a maximum pedal assisted
speed up to 45 km/h, called speed pedelecs or speed
E-bikes.
Klever Mobility off ers E-bikes in both categories, 25 km/h
EPAC’s as well 45 km/h speed E-bikes.

Your new Klever 25 km/h E-bike has been equipped according
to the Belgian & Dutch Road Traffi
c Act. Hence, you can use
it safely on public roads. This E-bike has been equipped with
a bright-sounding horn, a complete lighting system with
quality marks for the headlight and the tail light, reflectors
and with 2 sets of brakes independently actuating the front
and rear wheel.
The additional electric motor support is limited to max. 25
km/h, and thus complies with the statutory requirements
for EPAC vehicles (Electrically Pedal Assist Cycles). Therefore,
this 25 km/h E-bike falls under the class of regular bicycles.

plate or a driving license. Moreover, it is not mandatory to
wear a helmet, even though we strongly recommend to wear
one for your own safety.

information on the EC Declaration of Conformity and the
legal aspects and usage of a 25 km/h E-bike.
Introduction
3. Getting started and safety
check of your Klever 25 km/h
E-bike.
Your E-bike has been subjected to an end-of-line-check on the
assembly line of our factory. Afterwards it has been checked
at your local Klever dealer. Yet, the transport and the use over
time may have caused some changes. Therefore, prior to your
fi rst ride, and occasionally thereafter, you should consider to
check following points.
• Make yourself familiar with this 25 km/h E-bike and the
functioning of its electric motor support, before the fi rst ride
in public traffi
c.
• Setting of the saddle and the handlebars.
• Function of the brakes.
• Air pressure and the profi le depth of the tyres.
• Proper operation of the lighting system.
• Tightness of the bolts and nuts of the wheels.
• Minimum insertion of the seat post.
Caution! Do not start when you identify defi ciencies in
one of these points. While riding a defective E-bike this
can cause accidents and endanger your life. If in doubt,
contact your dealer or our technical hotline.
Caution! Through extreme weather and road conditions
there is wear and tear in everyday riding. Because of
the dynamic loads the parts & components of your
E-bike experience diff erent material fatigue and wear.
Therefore, it is recommended to inspect your E-bike on a
regular basis and look for wear of parts and changes in
scratches or cracks, or the discolouring of parts. These
could indicate damage of the part. Needless to say, that
damaged parts must be repaired or replaced.
Please note! Following the inspection plan in chapter
16., you best bring your E-bike to your Klever dealer for
inspection, service, maintenance and repair.
