With the Pedelec, an electric motor supports up to 25 km / h when pedaling. From a legal point of view, a two-wheeler also known colloquially as an e-bike is then considered a normal bicycle. But if you make it faster or stronger, you convert it to a motor vehicle, warns the two-wheeler industry association (ZIV). It then lost its status as a bicycle – with nasty consequences.
Because anyone who drives such an illegally coiffed electric bike on the road risks, among other things, fines, penalties, loss of driving license and generally gets partial guilt in the event of an accident.
