In principle, the following applies: <\/p>\n<p>A pedelec is an electric bicycle with pedal assistance up to 25 km\/h, which is legally treated like a normal bicycle &#8211; no driving license, no compulsory insurance and the use of cycle paths is permitted. In everyday language, pedelecs are often simply referred to as \u201ce-bikes\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>If you want to go faster, you can opt for an S-pedelec. These models support pedaling up to 45 km\/h, but require an insurance plate, a driver&#8217;s license (class AM) and are not allowed to ride on cycle paths. Legally, they are classed as mopeds. In practice, S-pedelecs are often referred to as \u201cfast e-bikes\u201d.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>E-bike (in the narrower sense) &#8211; without pedal assistance<br \/><\/strong>In addition to pedelecs, there are also e-bikes without pedal assistance, which are propelled solely by the motor. Models with a speed of up to 25 km\/h are legally classified as mopeds and require a moped test certificate, a helmet and an insurance license plate. Even more powerful e-bikes without pedal assistance up to 45 km\/h fall into the moped category, require a category AM driving license and are only permitted on the road.  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #c0b283;\">Important to know!

maximum of 250 watts and the pedal assistance ends at 25 km\/h, e-cargo bikes are considered bicycles according to the StVO.<\/p>\n<p>This means: no driving license requirement, no registration &#8211; and cycle paths can be used as usual. The only important thing is that suitable seats are used when transporting children so that everyone is safe on the road. <\/p>\n<h4>Dimensions &amp; technical classification<\/h4>\n<p>Certain requirements must be met for a cargo e-bike to be legally considered a bicycle:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maximum speed (pedal assistance): up to 25 km\/h<\/li>\n<li>Motor power: maximum 250 watts<\/li>\n<li>Starting aid: permitted up to 6 km\/h<\/li>\n<li>Width:\n<ul>\n<li>Single-track: up to 1 meter<\/li>\n<li>Multi-track (e.g. tricycle): up to 2 meters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Length: up to 4 meters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If one of these limits is exceeded or the e-bike reaches more than 25 km\/h with motor assistance, it is no longer a bicycle but a motor vehicle. In this case, different rules apply: Compulsory insurance, registration and a class AM driver&#8217;s license are required. <\/p>\n<h4>Equipment according to StVO<\/h4>\n<p>According to the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), a cargo e-bike must have the same equipment as a normal bicycle:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two independent brakes<\/li>\n<li>Lighting in accordance with regulations (white at the front, red at the rear)<\/li>\n<li>Reflectors (pedals, spokes, front\/rear)<\/li>\n<li>Bell as an acoustic warning signal<\/li>\n<li>Rear-view mirrors are not mandatory, but make sense for larger models<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is no obligation to wear a helmet, neither for the driver nor for passengers. Nevertheless, wearing a helmet is strongly recommended &#8211; especially when carrying a heavy load or transporting children. <\/p>\n<h4>Taking children with you on the Cargo E-Bike<\/h4>\n<p>Children may be carried on cargo bikes provided the vehicle is structurally suitable and equipped for this purpose. For pedelecs up to 25 km\/h, several children may also be taken along &#8211; for example in a closed transport box with a belt system. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike the classic bike with a child seat, there is no age limit for the child riding along, as long as safety is guaranteed. However, the rider must be at least 16 years old. <\/p>\n<p>Please note: The transportation of children is not permitted on S-pedelecs (up to 45 km\/h). These vehicles are classed as mopeds and passengers are not permitted on them. <\/p>\n<h4>Parking in public spaces<\/h4>\n<p>Cargo bikes may be parked in the same way as bicycles &#8211; for example on the sidewalk, on bicycle stands or in specially designated parking areas. Care must be taken to ensure that no access roads, footpaths or escape routes are blocked. <\/p>\n<p>Since the amendment to the road traffic regulations, there are also special traffic signs for cargo bike parking spaces. These can often be found in urban zones, in front of schools, supermarkets or at train stations. Parking on the side of the road is also permitted if local conditions allow.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c01fa3d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c01fa3d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fd7f176\" data-id=\"fd7f176\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80c34dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"80c34dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Speed and road use<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c8ef3bc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c8ef3bc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-728b26d\" data-id=\"728b26d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a351dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a351dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Maximum speed for e-bikes &amp; cargo e-bikes<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b10659 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0b10659\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How fast you can ride an e-bike depends on the category.<\/p>\n<p>Pedelecs and support pedaling up to a maximum of 25 km\/h.

Pedelecs and cargo e-bikes with a motor assistance of up to 25 km\/h and a maximum power of 250 watts are legally considered bicycles. Therefore, neither a registration nor an insurance license plate is required. Liability insurance is not mandatory, but is advisable in order to be covered in the event of damage.   <\/p>\n<p>The situation is different for S-pedelecs. These fast e-bikes, which support pedaling up to 45 km\/h, are considered mopeds. An insurance license plate is mandatory here, which must be clearly visible at the rear. You also need liability insurance &#8211; without this, the S-pedelec may not be used in road traffic.   <\/p>\n<h3>What safety requirements must e-bikes meet?<\/h3>\n<p>Whether pedelec, cargo e-bike or S-pedelec &#8211; all e-bikes must meet certain safety standards. These include two independently functioning brakes that ensure reliable deceleration. The lighting must also comply with the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO). This means: a white front headlight, a red rear light and reflectors on the pedals and wheels.   <\/p>\n<p>At least one bell is mandatory for all e-bike types so that you can warn other road users. S-pedelecs even require a horn and a rear-view mirror. <\/p>\n<p>If you adhere to these requirements, you will not only drive safely, but also avoid fines and trouble during traffic checks.<\/p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7809708 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7809708\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a721d9d\" data-id=\"a721d9d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b43509 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6b43509\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Parking &amp; parking facilities\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4dcb459 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4dcb459\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8841f1c\" data-id=\"8841f1c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e15a1e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e15a1e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Where can I park my e-bike or cargo e-bike?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ceee16a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ceee16a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>E-bikes may be parked in public spaces in the same way as bicycles.
