(Provided that the length and the dimensions,
e.g. crank arms / frame centre (Q-Factor) are
observed).
• Chain / Toothed belt
(Provided that the original width is observed).
• Rim tape
(Rim tapes and rims must be compatible. Mod-
ied combinations may result in rim tape shift-
ing and thus in defective inner tubes).
• Saddle
(Provided that the offset to the rear does not
exceed 20mm with regard to the series / origi-
nal eld of use. Note that a modied 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).).

Special notes for mounting accessories
• Additional battery/rechargeable battery-oper-
ated headlights are not permissible.
• Trailers are only permissible, if a trailer load is
entered under no. 17 of the certicate of con-
formity and a coupling device under no. 43.1.
Note: The maximum permissible trailer load
is 50 % of the tractor vehicle’s empty weight
(without batteries). There are only 50mm ball
coupling devices possible.
• Transporting children in a trailer is forbidden
in general!
• For safety reasons, it is strongly recommend-
ed not to mount child seats.
• Due to the undened load and load distribu-
tion, it is strongly recommended not to use
baskets.
• Bags without permanent attachment are con-
sidered cargo and permissible. (However, an
adequate load distribution must be observed
in this case).
• Topcases on the luggage carrier are permissi-
ble, provided that the luggage carrier’s bearing
load is observed.

This is the translation of the original guidelines issued by ZIV,
VSF, BIV (German umbrella organisation for the German
cycle industry guilds), velotech.de and the German Associa-
tion for Technical Inspection (TÜV Rheinland) in cooperation
with Zedler-Institut, updated in 2017. In the event of any
misunderstandings, the original German version (Leitfaden für
den Bauteiletausch bei schnellen E-Bikes / Pedelecs mit einer
Tretunterstützung bis 45 km/h) shall be applicable.
Do not modify the pedelec’s tech-
nology in any way. Manipulating the
bike in any way to increase its per-
formance or speed may be punishable by law
and can put your safety in danger.
Possible legal implications:
• The pedelec is required by law to be reg-
istered for approval and insured. All legal
regulations apply pertaining to the bike’s
equipment and the StVZO (Road Trafc Li-
censing Regulations).
• The manufacturer does not offer any kind
of guarantee, warranty or liability.
• Criminal consequences cannot be ruled
out. For example, an offence may be
charged for a physical injury resulting from
negligence.
• Termination of bicycle insurance
Possible technological implications:
• Tampering with the bike’s technology may
limit its capabilities, cause defects or break
the bike parts.
• The motor and battery may become over-
loaded and overheat. Consequences: Ir-
reparable damages and risk of re.
• This puts more wear on the brakes. Con-
sequences: Malfunction, overheating, in-
creased wear and tear.
Bike tuning is not permitted
