V.II Germany
At the time of writing (January 2016) the following regulations apply in
Germany:
» The motor may only be used as an aid to pedalling, i.e. it may only
"help" when the rider is actively pedalling.
» The average motor power must not exceed 250 W.
» The motor power must continue to fall as the speed of the bike
continues to increase.
» The motor must cut out automatically at 25 km/h.
What this means for you:
» There is no obligation to wear a helmet.
DANGER
However, for your own safety you should never ride a bike without
a suitable cycle helmet. A cycle helmet can protect you from severe
injuries. Make sure the helmet is correctly positioned.
» You do not require a driving licence.
» There is no requirement for compulsory insurance.
» The use of cycle paths is regulated as for normal bicycles.
» The use of children trailers and cycle trailers is generally permitted for
pedelecs.
