Notes on the e-bike
Temperature limits: Minimum and maximum temperature at which
the corresponding component may be used� At the same time,
both the temperature limits for the component as well as for the
ambient temperature may be specified�
Pedalling frequency: Number of revolutions of the pedal drive in
one minute expressed in the unit “1/min”.

6 Notes on the e-bike
E-bikes are available with a speed of up to 25 km/h or with a speed
of over 25 km/h�
E-bikes with a speed of up to 25 km/h do not require a licence
within the EU.
Stricter regulations apply to e-bikes which travel at speeds of over
25 km/h which will be indicated separately�
The term e-bike is used in this original operating manual for both
categories�
6.1 Differences between a bicycle and
an e-bike
The additional components of the electric drive constitute the major
differences between a conventional bike and an e-bike�
– The e-bike is significantly heavier and its weight distribution
is different from conventional bicycles� This results in different
handling�
– The drive has a significant effect on braking characteristics�
– E-bikes require greater braking forces. This may result in
greater wear than with conventional bicycles�
– The electrical assistance will increase your average speed�
