Kategorie: High-Speed E-Bike

A High-Speed E-bike—also known as an S-Pedelec (Speed Pedelec)—is a type of street-legal electric bicycle capable of reaching speeds up to 45 km/h (approx. 28 mph). In the EU, these are classified under the L1e-B category. This makes them significantly faster than standard e-bikes, which are typically limited to 25 km/h and fall under general EU regulations for pedal-assist bicycles.

The key differences between an S-Pedelec and a standard e-bike include:

• Speed & Performance:
  High-Speed E-bikes (S-Pedelecs) offer a higher top speed and are ideal for longer commutes, navigating urban traffic efficiently, or for riders who desire a quicker, more powerful alternative to cars or public transport.
• Legal Requirements:
  Due to their speed and classification, S-Pedelecs require EU type approval, a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and a COC (Certificate of Conformity). Registration with your local transport authority is usually necessary, and in many EU countries, a moped (AM) or car (B) license and specific e-bike insurance are also mandatory.
• Safety Features:
  To meet stringent road-legal standards, high-speed e-bikes are equipped with advanced safety features. These often include integrated turn signals, rearview mirrors, a horn, and powerful lighting systems (headlights, taillights, brake lights), ensuring better visibility and protection in traffic.
• Use Cases:
  While standard e-bikes are excellent for casual rides and short-distance commuting, High-Speed E-bikes (S-Pedelecs) are perfect for individuals seeking a viable car replacement, a much faster daily commute, or an eco-friendly option for covering longer distances more efficiently.
