17.05.2006, Making available for the first time in
the Community machinery or partly completed
machinery with a view to distribution or use,
whether for reward or free of charge.
Pressure point
Source: ZEG: the pressure point on a brake is the
point on the brake lever where the brake disc and
brake pads respond and the braking process is in-
itiated.
Quick-release device, quick release
Source: EN 15194:2017: lever actuated mecha-
nism that connects, retains or secures a wheel or
any other component.
Racing bicycle
Source: ISO 4210-2: pedelec designed for ama-
teur rides at high speed and for use on public
roads having a control and steering assembly with
multiple grip positions to provide an aerodynamic
posture Bicycle multi-speed transmission system
and a tyre width not greater than 28 mm with the
fully assembled bicycle having a maximum mass
of 12 kg.
Rebound
The rebound defines the speed at which the fork
rebounds after being loaded.
Rechargeable battery, battery
Source: DIN 40729:1985-05: a rechargeable bat-
tery is an energy storage device that can store
supplied electrical energy as chemical energy
(charging) and release it as electrical energy
when required (discharging).
Seat post
Source: EN 15194:2017: component that clamps
the saddle (with a bolt or assembly) and connects
it to the frame.
Serial number
Source – ZEG: each pedelec has an eight-digit
type number which is used to specify the design
model year, the type and the version.
Shut-off speed
Source: EN 15194:2017: speed reached, by the
pedelec, at the moment the current has dropped
to zero or to the no load current value.
Slippage
Source: DIN 75204-1:1992-05: the difference in
relation to vehicle speed between the vehicle
speed and the speed of its wheels at their circum-
ference.
Spare part
Source: EN 13306:2018-02, 3.5: item intended to
replace a corresponding item in order to retain or
maintain the original required function of the item.
Suspension fork
Source: EN 15194:2017: front wheel fork incorpo-
rating controlled, axial flexibility to reduce the
transmission of road-shocks to the rider.
Suspension frame
Source: EN 15194:2017: frame incorporating con-
trolled, vertical flexibility to reduce the transmis-
sion of road-shocks to the rider.
Total deflection
Source: Benny Wilbers, Werner Koch: Neue Fahr-
werkstechnik im Detail (New chassis technology
in detail): The distance that the wheel travels be-
tween an unloaded and a loaded position is called
total deflection. When at rest, the vehicle's mass
is applied to the springs and reduces the total de-
flection by the negative deflection to the positive
deflection.
Wear
Source: DIN 31051: reduction in useful life (4.3.4),
caused by chemical and/or physical processes.
Weight of ready-to-ride pedelec
Sour
ce: ZEG: the indicated weight for a ready-to-
ride pedelec refers to the weight of a pedelec at
the time of sale. The weight of each additional ac-
cessory must be added to this weight
