According to pedelec standard EN 15194/2017, the max. assistance speed is
25 km/h with a nominal continuous power of 250W. The add-e NEXT Sport is
equipped with mapping 2. This means that it has a max. assistance speed of
25 km/h and a max. power of 600W. This corresponds to the above standard,
because the 600W indicates the peak power.
The add-e NEXT Sport Edition allows travel at an average higher speed (max. up to
45 km/h). In order to use the add-e NEXT Sport in the European Union in com-
pliance with the law, it is factory delivered with mapping 2 (25 km/h, 600W peak
power). These parameters can only be modified if a dongle is fitted to the drive
unit. If you disconnect this dongle after modification, no risk of tampering exists,
even if there is an accident, and the set maximum speed (25 km/h) also applies to
add-e NEXT Sport as the maximum design speed in accordance with the registrati-
on-free pedelec standard EN 15194/2017.
The parameters can be changed by the user at own request with the dongle, both
for the motor power and for the maximum speed, but this no longer complies with
the EN 15194/2017 standard.
If the configuration chosen does not comply with the applicable legal regulations
in the country of use, the add-e NEXT is only allowed to be used with a special
license and/or for racing purposes and/or on private property.
Different countries have different regulations for the use of e-drive units on bikes.
Generally, the overall bike is used for assessment. Whether other regulations also
apply when an e-motor is retrofitted, e.g. for lighting, depends on the country in
question and compliance is the responsibility of the user.
The user is responsible to inform himself about the legal regulations that apply in
each case and for complying with them accordingly. Off-road restrictions regarding
electrical power, maximum speed and pedal assistance also need to be complied
with.
