Pedelecs
Pedelecs (pedal electric cycles) or EPACs (Elec-
trically Power Assisted Cycles) are bicycles with
an auxiliary motor that only switches on when you
move the pedals. When you stop pedaling, the motor
switches off.
A driving license is not required for riding a
CENTURION pedelec
(e)
, if the motor assistance
switches off automatically at a speed of 25 kmh. You
do not need an operating license and need not insure
the pedelec either.
In general, all regulations that apply to bicycles also
apply to CENTURION pedelecs. Inform yourself
in the country where you use your CENTURION
pedelec whether wearing a helmet is compulsory
(f)
.
Most CENTURION pedelecs are designed for cycling
exclusively on lanes and roads with a smooth surface
(g)
. Only use trails that are allowed for bicycles. For
off-road use only CENTURION off-road pedelecs
are suitable. Using CENTURION trekking pedelecs
off-road can result in crashes with unforeseeable
consequences.
Some CENTURION pedelecs have a pushing aid
(h)
which provides assistance during pushing, even
without pedaling, up to a speed of 6 kmh.
The maximum permissible additional load (rider
plus baggage) is 120 kg. Under certain circum-
stances the maximum permissible additional load
can be further limited by the component manufactur-
ers’ recommendations for use.
