Legal regulations

Within the scope of the European

Union, there are different types of

pedelecs and e-bikes for which dif-

ferent legal regulations apply.

A pedelec (pedal electric cycle) is a

bicycle in which the rider is assisted by an electric

drive when pedalling. Its engine can go up to 250

Watts (UK: 200 W), and its maximum speed limit

is 25 km/h. It is therefore still considered to be

a bicycle which does not need to be registered.

The S-pedelec is the faster model. Once again

assistance is only provided when pedalling, but

it has a more powerful engine. It is generally 350

to 500 Watts and has a cut-off speed of 45 km/h.

It is therefore regarded as a moped, light motor-

cycle or motorbike depending on location and is

required by law to be registered and insured in

Germany.

Find out about the relevant national

stipulations that apply to you! Check

your cycle passport to see which

type of pedelec you have. Respect the legal

regulations. Also, ask your specialist retailer.

Check whether your third party lia-

bility insurance covers possible

damage caused by using an

pedelec.

Info

EU According to EU law, a pedelec is under

the same category as a bicycle and, there-

fore, has the same requirements. The rules for

using pedelec paths are also the same as for bi-

cycles. Special rules may apply outside the EU

and in some EU regions. Please stay informed

about the national regulations applicable in your

specic country.

To use bike paths with your pedelec, please con-

sult the applicable legal practice in your country.

The regulations governing the operation of a

pedelec and the requirements regarding mini-

mum age, certicates, ofcial licenses and hel-

met requirements may vary in different countries.

The same applies to the obligatory use of cycle

paths. Please inform yourself about the applica-

ble legal practice.

Separate regulations for S-pedelecs / e-bikes

If pedal assistance is provided above 25 km/h,

it is not considered a pedelec / e-bike according

to Directive 2002/24/EC which has since ex-

pired. According to the current EU Regulation

2013/168/EU, type approval/approval for specic

use is mandatory.

According to EU law:

• Speed pedelecs (S-Pedelec) are legally cat-

egorised as two-wheeled motor vehicles in

class L1e, subcategory L1e-B (mopeds).

• On journeys using engine assistance only, you

are not permitted to ride over 18 km/h.

• The engine assistance switches off when you

reach approx. 45 km/h.

• A driving licence is required. The moped test

certicate is mandatory.

• A driving license is required. Please inform

yourself about the applicable regulations re-

garding licenses. It is possible that a minimum

age is enough to be allowed to ride without a

driving license.

• If you have a national driving license for a car,

the required permission may be covered by

this.

• You are required by law to wear a helmet and

be insured. Before setting out on a ride, nd

out about the legal stipulations that apply to

you.
