4. Local Regulations

Pedelec stands for pedal electrical cycles. They are also known as EPACs which stands for Electrically Power Assisted Cycles. Pedelecs are
bicycles with a motor that provides assistance when a rider starts to pedal. The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the driver's
ears is less than 70 dB(A). When a rider stops pedaling, the assistance stops. Some bikes will also have a push assistance mode with a max
speed of 6 km/hr.
In general, electric bikes are viewed by law as more similar to a conventional bicycle than a motorized scooter or motorcycle. In most
cases, an electric bike can be ridden in bike lanes, on bike paths, and can be locked to bike racks like a regular bicycle. Riders are not
required to have a driver's license to operate an electric bike and are not required to obtain any special licensing or registration for their
pedelecs.
It's important to note that the specific laws, rules, and guidelines governing electric bike use may vary from country to country.
If you are not using your bicycle in Germany, it's important to familiarize yourself with the laws in your specific location before
you begin riding your pedelec. Take time to learn local bike laws before hitting the road.
To use public roads with your pedelec in Germany, your bike must be equipped in accordance with Road Licensing Regulations (StVZO)
and the Road Traffic Act (StVO). Please note there may be different regulations that apply in your country.
