5 Explanation of terminology
The following terms are used in this user manual:
5.1 Pedelec/EPAC
Contrary to the official standard, EPACs (electric power-assisted cycles) are referred to in
this user manual as pedelecs (from “pedal electric cycle”).
The following paragraph is only applicable for Europe:
Pedelecs are cycles with an electric auxiliary motor that provides assistance up to a
maximum of 25 km/h when you pedal.
Depending on the cycle model, there may be a pushing aid which can accelerate the
cycle up to 6 km/h depending on what gear the shifting system is in.
The following paragraph is only applicable for the USA:
Pedelecs are cycles with an electric auxiliary motor that provides assistance up to a
maximum of 20 mph when you pedal. By law, pedelecs are class 1 (see the “Explanation
of symbols” chapter). There may be a pushing aid depending on the cycle model.
How this functions is described in more detail in the drive system user manual enclosed
with the cycle.
Pedelecs are cycles that are legally classed as bikes in most countries. Acquaint yourself
with the national and regional regulations and classification in your country.
