Replacing parts on your pedelec For pedelecs/e-bikes, the following applies: Guide for parts which may be changed on CE-approved e-bikes / pedelecs with assisted pedalling up to 25 km/h Category 1 Components allowed to be changed only with permission from the bike’s manufacturer/system provider • Motor • Sensors • Charger Category 2 Components allowed to be changed only with permission from the bike’s manufacturer • Frame • Suspension strut • Bike fork and suspension fork • Wheel for the hub motor • Brake system • Brake pads (Rim brakes) • Luggage rack (Luggage racks determine how much weight the wheel can carry. Both positive and nega tive changes made to the bike can potentially impact the bike‘s drivability as compared to that implied by the manufacturer.) • Electrical steering • Electrical cables • Control panel on the handlebars • Display • Battery pack

• Saddle and seat post unit (Provided that the offset to the rear does not exceed 20 mm with regard to the series/orig inal area of application. In this case as well, modifying the load distribution beyond the in tended adjustment range could seriously affect steering. The length of the saddle brace on the saddle frame as well as the saddle shape are also important) • Bicycle lights (Headlights are designed for a specific voltage which must be compatible with the vehicle’s rechargeable batteries. In addition, electro magnetic compatibility (EMC) must be ensured provided that the headlight may be responsible for a part of the potential interference) *The manufacturer of the part can only approve a component if it was tested in accordance with its intended use and with standards beforehand. A risk analysis must also have been performed. Category 4 Components not requiring any special kind of approval to be changed • Headset bearings • Bottom bracket • Pedals (Provided that the pedal is not wider than the series/original area of application) • Derailleur • Rear derailleur (All gear change parts must be suitable for the number of gears and be compatible with one another)

Category 3 * Components allowed to be changed according to the bike or bike part’s manufacturer • Pedal crank arm (Provided that the distances/chainsets/frame centre (Q-Factor) are observed) • Wheel without hub motor (Provided that the ETRTO is observed) • Chain or drive belt (Provided that the original width is observed) • Rim tape (Use the correct rim tapes for the rims) Modi fied combinations may result in rim tape shift ing and thus in defective inner tubes) • Tyres (The increased acceleration, additional weight and more dynamic cornering require the use of tyres approved for e-bike use. As a result, compliance with the ETRTO is essential) • Brake hoses/brake cables • Brake pads (Disc, roller, drum brakes) • Handlebar/stem unit (Provided that there is no need to change the lengths of cables and/or hoses. It should be possible to change the seating position with in the original hose lengths for the benefit of the consumer. Going beyond that results in a significantly changed load distribution on the wheel and could seriously affect steering)
