ORIGINAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - ELECTRIC DRIVE FOR PEDELECS
28
3. LEGAL FOUNDATION
This electric drive turns your bicycle into an Electrically Power Assisted
Cycle (EPAC). Another term for this type of bicycle is a pedelec (a composite
term derived from pedal, electrical and cycle), which describes a special
type of electrical bicycle where an auxiliary drive only works in tandem with
the pedal drive. The electric drive assists up to a speed of 25 km/h and
with power up to 250 watts (maximum continuous rated power) while you
are also pedaling.
Due to these limits, the bicycle is exempt from legal requirements to carry
insurance. There is no general legal requirement to wear a helmet, even
after installing this electric drive. However, for your own safety, we recom-
mend that you wear a bicycle helmet at all times! The bicycle on which this
electric drive is installed must – even before the installation – comply with
legal safety requirements such as EN14764 – city and trekking bicycles and
EN14766 – mountain bicycles.
When the electric drive is properly installed on a bicycle that meets one of
the safety regulations listed above, the bicycle then complies with the re-
quirements of European Standard EN15194 and continues to be classified
as a bicycle (bicycle paths may continue to be used).
4. SAFETY NOTES
The additional boost from the motor changes the riding behaviour/feel. To
familiarise yourself with the new technology, please do some initial test
rides until you are confident of being able to operate the EPAC safety.
