6.7 Personal protective equipment and accessories for road safety
Seeing and being seen is crucial in road traffic.
The following requirements must be met for riding
a pedelec safely on public roads.
Figure 157: Road safety
1 The helmet must have a reflective strip or a
light in a clearly visible colour.
2 Cycle clothing is essential at all times of year.
Clothing should be retroreflective or as light as
possible. Fluorescent materials are also
suitable. High-visibility jackets and straps on
your upper body ensure even greater safety.
Never wear a skirt. Always wear trousers which
reach down to your ankles instead.
3 The large red reflector with a “Z” registration
mark and the red rear light must be clean. The
rear light is attached high enough so that cars
can see it (minimum height 25 cm). The rear
light must work.
4 The two reflectors on the two non-slip
pedals must be clean.
5 The yellow spoke reflectors on both wheel or
the white, fluorescent surface on both
wheels must be clean.
6 The white front light must work and must be
positioned so that it does not dazzle other road
users. The white front light and the white
reflector must be clean at all times.
7 The two separate brakes on the pedelec must
work at all times.
8 The clear sounding bell must be fitted and
must work.
6.8 Before each ride
 Check pedelec before each ride; see
Section 7.1.
 Be alert to any unusual noises, vibrations or
odours while riding. Be alert to any unusual
operating sensations when braking, pedalling
or steering. This indicates material fatigue.
 Take pedelec out of service if there are any
deviations from the “Before each ride” checklist
or any unusual behaviour. Contact specialist
dealer.
