With a speed pedelec, you want to get to your destination as smoothly and as quickly as possible, while still making some physical effort. While you can reach up to 45 km/h, that doesn't mean you have to! Want to add some more effort yourself? No problem! Prefer to make as little effort as possible? Your speed pedelec is designed to help you when you need it. Whatever you choose, you are sure to save time and arrive at your destination with ease – and even sweat-free!
Electric pedal assist is provided via a mid-frame or rear-wheel motor. And your choice of motor is especially important! If you opt for the mid-frame motor, your power will often be more limited, meaning you will not always be able to reach 45km/h. Rear-wheel motors, on the other hand, are more powerful. Want to cover long distances with maximum assistance? Then be sure to choose a model with sufficient battery capacity. Look at the manufacturer specs, make sure to get proper information from your bike dealer and definitely take a test ride before you choose your lease bicycle.
You must register your speed pedelec with the Department of Vehicle Registration and equip it with a number plate. To ride one, you need a driving licence (minimum type AM) and are obliged to wear an approved helmet (conforming to standard EN1078) that properly protects the temples and back of the head.
