Intended purpose and legal basis for
pedelecs/e-bikes
Your GO SwissDrive system complies with
the respective requirements for a drive
system under standard DIN EN 15194 for
bicycles that have drive assistance from an
electric motor. Furthermore, your drive
system complies with the requirements of
directive 2004/108/EU concerning
electromagnetic compatibility.
Your pedelec drive system that was built in
compliance with DIN EN 15194 only provides
drive assistance when you turn the pedals
yourself and up to a speed of
25 km/h (18 mph). This means that there are
no restrictions for you; you may use your
pedelec as a bicycle without any restrictions.

Please consult your general bicycle user
manual to determine for what purposes your
pedelec/e-bike can be used, what total weight
it has been approved for, and what roads and
paths you may ride it on.
There are country-specific laws concerning
the use of the pushing aid. It is essential to get
information on this before you ride away for
the first time as to whether you require (in
Germany) a moped driving certificate or a
class M driving license if you were born after
01.04.1965.
The laws and regulations concerning pedelecs
and e-bikes are currently being revised. Read
the daily press to keep yourself informed
about current legislative changes.
In view of the resulting higher speeds we
nonetheless recommend you to use a cycling
helmet and cycling glasses.
If you do not have private liability insurance,
we would recommend you to takeout such a
policy if you wish to use a pedelec or e-bike.
Contact your insurer if you have any
questions.
