Speed pedelec
The e-bike with extra power
The speed pedelec is an electric bike with a hefty dose of extra power that lets you get from A to B very quickly. The biggest difference between an e-bike and a speed pedelec is the maximum speed. A speed pedelec goes up to 45 kilometres per hour, making it ideal for travelling longer distances quickly. Whereas a normal electric bike is only allowed up to 25 kilometres per hour with assistance.

Does a speed pedelec suit me?
To reach the speeds of a speed pedelec, you do have to exert yourself, which is why it is possible to ride this bike slower. Which also allows you to use it as an electric bike in situations. A speed pedelec is ideally suited for people who move around sportily, but desire ultimate comfort.

To take into account
Helmet
For speed pedelec, there are certain safety measures mandatory in traffic to be able to cross the road safely. For instance, it is mandatory to wear an approved helmet. An approved helmet provides more protection at the back of the head and temple. Wearing a helmet provides more of your own safety on the road. If you go on the speed pedelec, put on an approved helmet. A selection of good bicycle helmets can be found on XLC's website.
Rear-view mirror
A rear-view mirror, like the helmet, is compulsory on a speed pedelec. The rear-view mirror provides a better overview on a speed pedelec. This leads to a more confident feeling, as you have a complete overview of the traffic situation. The rear-view mirror allows you to quickly see other road users, eliminating the need to look over your shoulder. The rear-view mirror makes the speed pedelec safer, as you always have a complete overview of the situation in front of and behind you.
Regular e-bikes
The speed pedelec differs from the e-bike on speed and the requirement of helmet and mirror. The regular e-bike is also a safe means of transport on the road, but you can make it even safer for yourself. Because the control buttons are placed right next to the handlebar, you can operate your electric bike without taking your hands off the handlebars. When getting on your e-bike, keep your balance in mind. An electric bike is heavier than a normal bike. Therefore, it is important that you can easily touch the ground with both feet to avoid dangerous situations. You can find the weight of the bike on the product page of one of our electric bikes.
Which helmet for the speed pedelec?
The requirements for a helmet vary from country to country. It is therefore important to read up carefully before buying or using a speed pedelec.
The main features of a speed pedelec helmet:
- The helmet has a thick foam layer, because this helmet is thicker and thus you have more protection if you fall at high speed. The protective layer of a speed pedelec helmet is important for safety.
- The helmet has a better fit, providing a better connection to the head and better protection during a fall. Also, the helmet is lower at the back and at your temple.
