Additional information for ‘Fast Electric Bicycles’*
The Fast Electric Bicycle is an electric bicycle that provides assistance that does not stop at 25 km/h.
The maximum assisted speed is higher than that provided by a standard Pedelec.
Note, though, that the actual maximum speed that you can reach depends first and foremost on how strongly you pedal.
*‘Fast’ Electric bicycles are not available in all European countries.
European Type Approval
Legally, the Fast Electric Bicycle is no longer considered a ‘
bicycle
’ but an ‘
electric motor vehicle
’.
It has European Type Approval (Class L1e-B) as such, with regards to Directive (EU)168/2013. Each Fast Electric Bicycle has
a Type-approval plate on the frame and a unique VIN number (VIN = Vehicle Identification Number).
The technical equipment of these Fast Electric Bicycles is almost identical to that on 25 km/h Pedelecs.
The following parts are additional and/or different:
• Rear view mirror • Insurance plate / license plate and holder for this plate • License plate light • Extra reflectors
• Slightly different brake levers • Rear brake light • Horn • Type approved front and rear lights.
NOTICE. These parts are all part of the type approval. It is not allowed to remove or exchange them for other (non-certified)
equipment. This also applies to the fork, tires, kickstand, motor, battery pack and display.
WARNING. Speed Pedelecs built after January 1, 2018 have to comply with new requirements.
As a result, they must be delivered to the market with the front brake lever located on the right hand side of the
handlebars and the rear brake lever on the left hand side*. Be aware that this can differ from the configuration on a
regular bicycle!
*IMPORTANT NOTICE. In your country, it may legally not be allowed to change this configuration after the bicycle has
been delivered. Please obey the local rules.
Local legislation/rules*
• The legal rules to use a Fast Electric Bicycle vary per country.
• As a Fast Electric Bicycle is legally seen as an
electric motor vehicle
, you will have to comply with the local legal rules
about the minimum age of the rider, driving license, insurance, insurance /license plate, traffic and maximum speed
regulations, etc.
• For a Fast Electric Bicycle, third party insurance is mandatory.
• In many countries, wearing a helmet is mandatory for these bicycles.
Even, when wearing a helmet is not mandatory in your country, we strongly recommend to always wear a helmet for your own safety.
*NOTICE. The local legislation/ rules may be subject to changes in time.
Advice for use
• Technically, riding is the same as the Pedelec bicycles, except that the assistance does not stop at 25 km/h.
• Your Fast Electric Bicycle can still be ridden as a bicycle. On the road, you will usually have to obey the rules for mopeds,
however, even if you ride without assistance.
• The maximum range on one battery charge depends very much on your style of use.
• Due to the higher speed that can be reached, be prepared to find the range slightly shorter than on regular Pedelec
bicycles that have a maximum assistance speed of 25 km/h.
• Be aware that other road users may not expect a bicycle to go this fast. Ride accordingly.
