FOREWORD Flluid 1

An introduction to electric bicycles
What does the term Pedelec, S-Pedelec
mean and what is the difference between
them? In this section we explain the differ-
ent versions of the Flluid.
PEDELECS - with pedal assistance
The Flluid- 1 is a Class 1 Pedelec (Pedal
Electric Cycle) supporting the rider with
an electric motor with an output up to 500
watts but only while the rider is also pedal-
ing. The motor will assist up to a maxi-
mum speed of 20 mph. The bike can be
ridden faster via the rider pedaling, but the
motor will not assist at speeds in excess
of 20 mph. The degree of assistance can
be set in several stages and depends on
the pedal force and the rider's pedaling
frequency.
The denition of a pedelec follows from the
US Code of Federal Regulations Title 16
Chapter II Subchapter C Part 1512. On a
Federal level it is classied a bicycle. How-
ever, many states have additional laws gov-
erning the use of E-Bikes, helmet and age
requirements, as well as restrictions on
where they can be operated. Be sure to
check your local laws before operating your
E-Bike.
SPEED-PEDELECS - with pedal assis-
tance
The Flluid- 1S and 1E are Class 3 Pede-
lecs (Pedal Electric Cycles) supporting the
rider with an electric motor with an output
up to 500 watts but only while the rider is
also pedaling. The motor will assist up to
a maximum speed of 28 mph. The bike
can be ridden faster via the rider pedal-
ing, but the motor will not assist at speeds
in excess of 28 mph. The degree of as-
sistance can be set in several stages and
depends on the pedal force or the rider's
pedaling frequency.
On a US Federal level the Flluid 1S is still
classied a bicycle, however, state laws
governing Class 3 Pedelecs vary even
more widely including some states requir-
ing riders have a valid license. Be sure
to check your local laws before operating
your E-Bike.
E-BIKES - with throttle (twist and go)
Class 2 E-bikes are similar to Class 1,
however, they also include a throttle that
enables the bike to operate at speeds up
to 20 mph without the rider pedaling.
At this time FUELL Inc. does not offer a
Class 2 E-Bike.
