tions and requirements for use in road
traffic must be taken into consideration
(see chapter 3.5 “Notes on use”).

3.5 Notes on use
3.5.1 Legal requirements
A FLYER pedelec with electric pedal assist
up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h is con-
sidered a bicycle or EPAC (Electrically
Power Assisted Cycles).
The national legal requirements for bicy-
cles or EPACs apply.
A FLYER S-pedelec with electric pedal
assist up to a maximum speed of 45 km/h is
considered a motor vehicle of class L1e-B.
The national legal regulations for motor
vehicles of class L1e-B or separate legal
regulations for S-pedelecs apply.
Important: Rules and regulations
for e-bikes (pedelecs and
s-pedelecs) may be revised and
changed. Keep up to date with
changes in legislation so that you
are always up to date.
Information on the applicable national
regulations can be obtained from your
FLYER specialist dealer, the respective
national bicycle or e-bike associations and
on the Internet.
