64. Speed pedelec

Un speed pedelec est un vélo à assistance électrique rapide dont le moteur peut continuer à fournir une assistance au pédalage au-delà de la limite normale des vélos électriques, généralement jusqu’à environ 45 km/h. Il possède des pédales et est principalement conçu pour assister le cycliste pendant qu’il pédale.

En raison de sa vitesse plus élevée, un speed pedelec peut être classé juridiquement différemment d’un vélo ou vélo électrique ordinaire. Des règles particulières peuvent s’appliquer concernant l’âge minimum, le permis de conduire, le casque, l’immatriculation, l’assurance, l’utilisation des pistes cyclables et les routes autorisées, selon le pays.

What is a speed pedelec?

A speed pedelec is an electrically assisted pedal cycle capable of providing motor assistance at higher speeds than an ordinary electric bicycle, commonly up to approximately 45 km/h.

What is the difference between a speed pedelec and an ordinary electric bicycle?

An ordinary electrically assisted bicycle normally stops providing motor assistance at a lower speed, commonly around 25 km/h. A speed pedelec can continue assisting the rider at higher speeds.

Do you still have to pedal a speed pedelec?

Normally yes. A speed pedelec is primarily designed to provide assistance while the rider pedals, although limited walking or starting assistance may also be provided.

Can a speed pedelec travel at 45 km/h?

Many speed pedelecs are designed to provide assistance up to approximately 45 km/h. The actual permitted speed must still comply with the local speed limit and traffic conditions.

Do you need a driving licence for a speed pedelec?

This depends on the country's legal classification. Some countries classify speed pedelecs similarly to mopeds and require an appropriate driving licence.

Is a helmet compulsory on a speed pedelec?

Helmet requirements vary between countries, but because speed pedelecs travel considerably faster than ordinary bicycles, specific helmet requirements commonly apply.

Does a speed pedelec need a licence plate?

In countries where speed pedelecs are classified as mopeds or another motor-vehicle category, registration and a licence plate may be compulsory.

Does a speed pedelec need insurance?

This depends on its technical characteristics and local law. Some jurisdictions require motor-vehicle liability insurance, while others exempt pedal-assisted speed pedelecs under specified conditions.

Can a speed pedelec use a cycle path?

This depends on the country, road speed limit and traffic signs. Speed pedelecs may be permitted, required or prohibited on particular cycle paths.

Can a speed pedelec use a motorway?

Speed pedelecs are generally unsuitable for motorways and are commonly prohibited where mopeds or low-speed vehicles are not permitted. Follow the local access rules.

Can you carry a passenger on a speed pedelec?

This depends on the vehicle's construction and local rules. Where passengers are permitted, the speed pedelec must be designed and equipped to carry them safely.

Is a speed pedelec the same as an electric moped?

No. A speed pedelec is primarily designed to provide pedal assistance, while an electric moped can normally propel itself without requiring the rider to pedal. Their legal classifications may nevertheless be closely related.
