Bosch Whyte E-180 - Legal Regulations

INFO: Before riding your Whyte eBike please inform yourself of all
applicable legal requirements to ride safely in your country/state.
Please ensure adequate safety restrictions are obeyed with
regards to lighting, licenses, helmet and insurance requirements.

An eBike/pedelec is a bicycle where the rider is assisted when pedalling.
The motor can legally go up to 250 Watts with a maximum assisted
speed of 25Km/h. Any bike that exceeds these limits is considered to be
a moped or light motorcycle depending upon country/state law.
Under EU and UK law eBikes/pedelec’s fall under the same category as
bicycles. These laws may differ or special rules may apply dependant
upon region so please take the time to educate yourself before riding.
It’s extremely important to obey the regulations governing the operation
of an eBike/pedelec and the requirements regarding minimum age,
certicates, licenses, insurance and helmets.
INFO: Do not tamper with your eBike/Pedelecs electrical system
in any way. Unauthorised modications will void your bikes
warranty, make the product unsafe, whilst endangering the user
and others. By making any changes to increase the speed or
performance this could incur legal problems. Any maintenance
to the electrical system must be carried out by a professional
accredited mechanic and all replacement parts must be original.
For further assistance please consult your Whyte retailer or
motor manufacturer.
Possible Legal Implications:
• The eBike/pedelec is required by law to be registered for approval
and insured. All legal requirements regarding the bike components
stated by road trafc licensing authority must be adhered to e.g.
lights, reectors and helmets.
• Whyte do not offer representation, warranty, or liability for use of
your eBike/pedelec

is common to nd laws banning the use of EPAC’s for children on public
roads. If you plan to ride with kids on your bicycle, please inform yourself
of all applicable legal requirements and regulations in your country/
state. There may be restrictions on riding your bicycle with certain or
any accessory(ies). This is especially true for electric and pedal-assist
bicycles.
