Electric Assisted Bike Regulations
The EN 15194 EU standard or EPAC (Electric Power Assisted Cycle) conforms to the following
characteristics for electric power assisted bikes:
•
Motor assistance only starts when the cyclist pedals.
•
The assistance cuts out as soon as the cyclist stops pedalling.
•
The assistance cuts out as soon as the speed exceeds 25km/h.
Adherence to this standard enables the use of the electric bikes in the same conditions as
any other bicycle, particularly on bicycle paths and bicycle-specific lanes.
Recommendation Before First Ride

Before first use, please double-check the function of all the parts of your electric
bike. If you have any doubts or if you detect a problem, please contact your
authorised dealer or technical service department.
•
If you lend your bicycle to a third party, please give them this instruction manual
with the bicycle and request that they read it before the first ride.
•
Respect local and national road traffic regulations.

For your safety, it is highly recommended that you wear a certified helmet.
•
When used during heavy rain, snow, in slippery conditions or in the case of low
visibility, be careful and adjust your speed.
•
At night, ride using the lights.
•
Trying to repair anything that implies removing technical or electrical components

service.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility due to overloading or items that are
not correctly attached to the baggage rack.
