ENGLISH
All bicycles which are modified to be pedelecs (no matter if by a bicycle ma-
nufacturer or trained mechanics at a bicycle dealer) have to confirm with
the safety requirements in accordance to European jurisdiction. Appro-
priate tests with these bicycle have to be made. Thereby the structural
strength of bicycle parts and fully assembled bicycles is determined. The
Device and Product Safety Act requires that a product (here a bicycle) is
safe. By the use of the standards DIN EN14764 for city and trekking bicy-
cles and DIN EN 14766 for mountain bicycles, a manufacturer checks and
documents the safety of the bicycle. Recognizable by a sticker or visible
in the bicycle document, the bicycle dealer or the customer is able to see
if the bicycle conforms to the correct standards. With this sticker / docu-
ment you can be sure that the bicycle conforms to the Device and Product
Safety Act. It is a requirement that all parts have to been fixed correctly
by a trained bicycle mechanic who built or upgrade the bicycle. The valid
standards for pedelecs / EPAC-Bikes DIN EN15194 refers to already men-
tioned standards DIN EN14764 and DIN EN14766 when testing the bicycle.
That means that pedelecs are also tested for the requirements of these
standards. The limits for the tests are no stricter than from city / trekking
bicycles or mountain bicycles.
