Regular maintenance and inspections
Legal requirements
15. Legal requirements for
participation in traffic
Your X Speed model has been equipped according to very
strict EC Type-approval Regulation 168/2013 and it has been
classified as a vehicle in category L1e-B. Therefore, you can
safely use it on public roads in Belgium, the Netherlands and
all other 25 countries of the EC.
With a maximum speed of 45 km/h. this X Speed model is
NOT a regular electric bicycle, but it is a so-called speed
pedelec. As a Type-approval vehicle in the L1e-B category it
must be registered at your national road safety authority
(e.g., DIV in Belgium, DREAL in France, KBA in Germany,
RDW in the Netherlands, or DVSA in the United Kingdom). In
addition, you will need a license plate (as proof of your local
registration & insurance), a liability insurance and a driving
license. Moreover, you will need to wear an approved speed
pedelec helmet as well.
The speed pedelec has another place on the road than
ordinary bicycles and regular E-bikes. It has another position
in the traffic. Please make sure that you know the local
speed pedelec regulations prior to riding your X Speed model
on public roads.
A speed pedelec must be equipped with a well audible horn,
a wing mirror (EU LH-side & UK RH side), a lighting system
with quality marks for the head light and the tail light with
integrated brake light, reflectors and with 2 sets of brakes
independently actuating the front and rear wheel.
16. Regular maintenance and
inspections
In order to keep your X Speed model always roadworthy and
updated to the latest technical status, it should be inspected
regularly. We recommend after 500 – 1,000 km. or within
1 year after purchase to carry out the first inspection. Any
further inspections should be carried out after every 2 to
3,000 km. or at least once a year.
Please note! Inspections should be executed by
authorised Klever dealers.
Caution! In case inspections are not carried out or
executed unprofessionally, this may significantly
impair the functions of your speed pedelec or may even
lead to severe accidents.
