speed pedelec
Because the bicycle can go up to a maximum of 45 km/h, it is called a speed pedelec. Here you have to pay attention to a few rules before purchasing the bicycle. I have listed them:
- At least a moped driver’s license or a car driver’s license B.
- You must be at least 16 years old.
- The electric bicycle may not go faster than 45 km/h.
- You must take out liability insurance.
- You must carry a registration certificate.
- Wearing an approved helmet (standard: EN1078) is mandatory.
- The position on the road is the same as for a moped, which means on the carriageway for cars. Or on a special moped path or speed pedelec path.
The powerful engine
This bike is equipped with a powerful Bosch Performance Line motor. This knows that you are fast up to the maximum speed. The motor in the bicycle is located in the center of the bicycle. The power of the motor is 75Nm and it is quiet. This also makes it nice to ride a bike, so you don’t have to listen to the hum of the engine. There are 4 levels of pedal assistance, but the less heavily you want to pedal, the faster the battery can be discharged. In addition, there is a walk assist, which offers help when you walk with the bicycle. When walking with heavy shopping bags or when you have to walk up a mountain. The maximum speed for this function is 6 km/h.
Battery
The battery of the bicycle has a capacity of 500Wh and the range is 50 to 110 km. The place where the battery is located is in the Frame. This ensures that the weight is distributed in the bicycle. In addition, the battery is barely visible. And the best part is that it is a removable battery. This allows you to charge your bike anywhere. In addition, it is also useful if the battery needs to be replaced, less hassle.
Display
There is also a Display on the bike. The nice thing about the display is that it is a detachable display. So you can just take it with you when you are parked somewhere. This bike also has a mini USB connection, which is handy if you want to charge your mobile phone or your navigation on the go. You can see the following items on the display:
- Battery fill level
- Range in km
