With a pedal-assist bicycle, are you allowed to ride at more than 25 km/h?
Speed
With a pedal-assist bicycle, the motor only provides assistance up to 25 km/h, but you can continue pedalling with your own strength and exceed that speed without electric assistance.
Explanation
Speed limit on pedal-assist bicycles
On **pedal-assist bicycles**, the **electric motor only assists** while you are pedalling and **up to 25 km/h**.
- When **25 km/h** is reached, the **motor disconnects** and stops assisting you.
- If you **stop pedalling**, the motor also **cuts out**.
- However, you can continue **pedalling on your own** and exceed **25 km/h** using only your **physical strength**.
In summary, the **25 km/h limit** applies only to **motor assistance**, not to the **maximum speed** you can reach by pedalling.
