Your new Klever 45 km/h E-bike is not a regular E-bike, it is
a speed E-bike. It has been equipped according to the EC
Type-approval Regulation 168/2013. And has been classified
as a vehicle in category L1e-B. Therefore, you can safely use it
on public roads in Belgium, the Netherlands and all other 25
countries of the EC.
A 45 km/h E-bike must be equipped with a well audible horn,
a wing mirror on the LH-side (UK RH-side), a lighting system
with quality marks for the head light and the tail light with
integrated brake light, reflectors and with 2 sets of brakes
independently actuating the front and rear wheel.
The electric pedal assistance is limited to max. 45 km/h, and
thus complies with the statutory requirements for an L1e-B
vehicle. Due to the fact that our new Klever 45/h E-bike is a
type-approval vehicle it must be registered at your national
road safety authority (e.g., DIV in Belgium, DREAL in France,
KBA in Germany, RDW in the Netherlands, or DVSA in the
United Kingdom). In addition, you will need a license plate
(as proof of your local registration & insurance), a liability
insurance and a driving license. Moreover, you will need to
wear an approved helmet for 45 km/h E-bikes as well.
In the legal section (chapters 11. & 12.), you will find more
information on the Type-approval, the EC Certificate of
