6. Legal requirements
However, the rules and regulations for e-
bikes are constantly being revised and
changed. Stay informed about changes in
legislation in order to remain up-to-date.
For pedelecs and e-bikes, special provisions apply
for their limit of use. This means that e-bikes are
partly operated like a bicycle and other times not.
Before riding on public roads with yourFLYER,
inform yourself on the current legal requirements
enforced in your country.
This information can be found at your FLYER re
-
tail store, the respective national bike or e-bike
associations and online.
Here you can gather information on how your
FLYER must be equipped in order to ride it on
public roads.
The lighting system required to be installed or car
-
ried with you is also described. You will also be
informed on which brakes the bike needs to be
equipped with.
By reading the national legislation, you can also
obtain information about the current age required
to ride the bike and where it is allowed or must be
ridden. The regulations for children riding on pub
-
lic roads are also found here. It will be made clear
if a helmet is required to be worn by law.
Check whether your private third-party-
liability insurance covers possible dam
