E-bikes and pedelecs with CE mark and pedal assistance up to 25 km/h are covered by the Machinery Directive, therefore components of
these bicycles may not be easily exchanged or modied. In order to clarify the situation, a guideline for replacing E-bike/Pedelec 25 parts
has been jointly released by the associations Zwerad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV) and Verbund Service und Fahrrad (VSF) in cooperation with
the Zedler-Institut and the Bundesinnungs- band Fahrrad (BIV).
The guideline clearly regulates which bicycle dealers and workshops are allowed to replace parts on these vehicles and for which parts
they require approval from vehicle manufacturers or system suppliers. As such, it can be regarded as a recommended course of action.
Replacement of the SQlab aluminum and SQlab carbon handlebars bearing the eBike Ready label on Pedelec25 is possible based on the
recommendation „Guidelines for the re placement of components in CE-marked e-bikes/pedelecs with pedal assistance up to 25 km/h“
of the associations Zweirad-Indus trie-Verband (ZIV ) and Verbund Service und Fahrrad (VSF) in cooperation with the Zedler-Institut and
the Bundesinnungsverband Fahrrad (BIV), as far as the cable and/or line lengths do not need to be changed. The seat position should
be adjustable to consumer require ments without changing the original cable lengths. In addition, the load distribution on the wheel
changes signicantly and potentially leads to critical steering characteristics.
On our website www.sq-lab.com/service/downloads/ in the service area under Downloads you will nd a document called eBike Ready.
There you will nd detailed information about the component exchange on Pedelec25, as well as the guide for the component exchange
made by the associations Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV), Verbund Service und Fahrrad (VSF), the Zedler Institute and the Bundesin-
nungsverband Fahrrad (BIV).
