2.2 Pushing assistance

Button for pushing assistance
Your Pedelec is available in a version with
or without pushing assistance. The push-
EN
ing assistance moves the Pedelec slowly
(at a maximum speed of 6 km/h) without
you having to turn the pedals, e.g. if you
are manoeuvring in a tight space or are
pushing your Pedelec out of a basement
garage. In Germany, if you were born
after 01. 04. 1965, you will need a moped
test certificate for models with pushing
assistance. If you already have another
type of driving licence, this automatically
includes the moped test certificate. The
pushing assistance is not suitable for use
as starting assistance. You do not legally
have to have insurance.
• No age restriction applies for a Pedelec.
• The regulations governing the use of
cycle paths are the same as for normal
bikes.
• The motor must switch off once the bike
reaches a speed of 25 km/h.
These regulations apply to you wherever
you are in the European Union. It is pos-
sible that different regulations exist in
other countries, also inside the EU in
