Safety instructions, product liability and
exclusion of liability
By using the bikespeed-RS on your pedelec, a relevant safety feature (the
speed-dependent limitation of the motor power) is overridden. You must
assume that your pedelec is not suitable for this and e.g., frame, brakes,
chassis, tires, etc. are not designed for the higher speed. The conversion
must be carried out by a specialist (e.g., the manufacturer of the pedelec
or an authorized specialist workshop) who will also check other
components on your pedelec accordingly and convert them if necessary.
Tuning an ordinary pedelec with a maximum speed of 25 km/h is not
recommended for the ordinary user, as S-pedelecs are intended for
reaching higher speeds with the corresponding legal requirements, in
particular the approval of the Federal Motor Transport Authority of your
country (in Germany KBA/Kraftfahrtbundesamt).
We have not been able to conclusively clarify whether operation with the
bikespeed-RS installed but deactivated is permitted on public roads.
Therefore, we expressly point out that the mere presence of the tuning
can constitute an offence in the sense of the Road traffic regulations or
riding without insurance, §6 Compulsory Insurance Act!
