However, this is not entirely correct.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>E-bike <\/strong>is an electric bike that can also be ridden, <strong>when the rider is not pedalling<\/strong>. Depending on the number of watts and the maximum speed, they are considered either a \"bicycle\" or a \"motor vehicle\". It is therefore essential that you pay attention to the regulations that apply to \"fast electric bikes\" - such as the mandatory motor vehicle liability insurance.<\/p>\n\n<p>A <strong>Pedelec<\/strong> is a \"Pedal Electric Cycle\" with which a maximum speed of 25 km\/h can be reached. You can go faster <strong>only ride when you are pedalling hard<\/strong>. The pedelec is considered a bicycle.<\/p>\n\n<p>The <strong>S-Pedelec<\/strong> is a fast pedelec and falls under the category of mopeds. A speed of 45 km\/h can be reached thanks to the motor assistance when pedalling. A moped driving licence is required for riding - as is motor vehicle liability insurance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf43cb9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf43cb9\" 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\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is there a difference in liability between an e-bike and a normal bike?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>In principle, there is no difference in liability, as the e-bike theoretically has no increased accident risk of its own.
