Riding without drive assistance
You can also use your MERIDA pedelec without drive
assistance, i.e. just like a conventional MERIDA bike.
Observe the following points when riding without the re-
chargeable battery
(a)
:
- If you want to ride without drive assistance with
mounted battery, you can switch on the drive HMI
of your pedelec to benefit from the functions of your
cycle computer.
- If the lighting set of your pedelec (b) is powered by
the rechargeable battery, you cannot use your light
when riding without battery.
- After you have removed the battery of your pedelec:
Keep the connections of the rechargeable battery
free of dirt and moisture

Riding a MERIDA speed pedelec –
Special features
Basically, a MERIDA speed pedelec is a pedelec, which
is only clearly faster. Be sure to thoroughly read the
chapter “Riding a MERIDA pedelec – Special features”
before reading this chapter. Keep in mind that all tips
and warnings given in the mentioned chapter apply all
the more and with still greater importance to MERIDA
speed pedelecs. Practice the handling of the still more
powerful and faster MERIDA speed pedelec and always
ride with foresight.
In contrast to MERIDA pedelecs MERIDA speed pedelecs
are classified as e-bikes and thus as motor vehicles. This
entails a number of regulations according to which your
MERIDA speed pedelec must be equipped when used in
a European country:
- Beside the bicycle typical components it must be
fitted with a rear view mirror
(d)
.
- A MERIDA speed pedelec must have liability insur-
ance, an operating license or EU type approval, and
the insurance marking must be attached.
- The tires must have a minimum tread depth of 1
mm, as is well known for motor vehicles. Every tire
worn down to this minimum depth must be replaced
by an identical one; otherwise this will void the op-
erating license.
