Guidelines for the parts replacement of
speed e-bikes / pedelecs up to a pedal assist
of 45 km/h (28 mph)
Category 1
Important basic information
• Speed e-bikes with a motor assistance of up
to 45 km/h (27 mph) are considered motor ve-
hicles and subject to the EU Directive 2002/24/
EC or the EU Regulation No. 168/2013.
• Depending on the vehicle there may be dif-
ferent requirements which must be strictly ob-
served when replacing a component. There-
fore, always check the indications given in the
vehicle documents prior to doing any work on
the vehicles.
• Note: At present, vehicles with an individual
operating licence are mainly subject to the reg-
ulations of the EU Directive 2002/24/EC.
• All components which are not included in the
list must only be replaced by original spare
parts of the vehicle and/or component manu-
facturer.
Category 2
Components which may only be replaced upon presentation
of a valid test report (parts approval (ABE*, EC, ECE) or part
certicate)
• Handlebar-stem unit
(Provided that there is no need of changing
the lengths of cables and/or hoses. A modi-
cation of the seating position for the benet
of the consumer should be possible within the
original cable lengths. A modication beyond
results in a signicantly changed load distribu-
tion on the bicycle and entails potentially criti-
cal steering properties).
• Seat post
(Provided that the offset to the rear does not
exceed 20mm with regard to the series/origi-
nal eld of use. Note that a modied load distri-
bution beyond the intended setting range may
possibly lead to critical steering properties.
The length of the saddle rails at the saddle
structure as well as the saddle form are also
important).
• Headlight
(With valid type approval, identical mounting
position as well as EMC proof only).
• Rear light
with brake light and licence plate light, if applicable
(With valid type approval and identical mount-
ing position only, if tested in accordance with
ECE-R 50 as well as EMC proof)
• Reector
(With valid type approval only).
• Rear view mirror
(Only if tested in accordance with ECE-R 81
and identical mounting position).
• Acoustic signalling device (horn)
(Only if tested in accordance with ECE-R 28
and identical mounting position).
• Pedals
(Vehicles with168/2013 approval).
* ABE: general type approval
Category 3
Components which may be replaced in consideration of the
conditions described below
• Pedals
(Incl. approved reectors, provided the pedal
is not wider than the series/original pedal (ve-
hicle with 2002/24/EC approval)).
• Tires
(As specied in vehicle documents, either in
accordance with ECE-R 75 or with approval of
tire manufacturer).
• Grips with screw clamps
(In this case, the vehicle width must not be
modied)..
• Headset
• Bottom bracket
• Rear and front derailleur
(All gear change parts must be suitable for the
number of gears and compatible with one an-
other).
• Shift levers / Twist grip
(Provided that position on handlebars remains
unchanged).
• Cables and housings
• Chainwheels / Belt sprockets / Cassette
sprocket
(Provided that the number of teeth and the di-
ameter is identical to the series/original eld
of use).
• Chainguard
(Provided that it is free of sharp outer edges
and complies with the Delegated Regulation
No. 44/2014, Annex VIII).
• Mudguard
(Provided that it is free of sharp outer edges
and complies with the Delegated Regulation
No. 44/2014, Annex VIII). The clearance to the
tire, which should be 10mm at least, must also
be taken into account).
• Spokes
(Provided that the dimensions correspond to
the original part)
• Inner tube
(Provided that the design and the valve are
identical).
• Crank arm
