Swe
100 W
Hi!
I was wondering what the laws says about this. I live in Sweden but can't find any information on this, but I think it is pretty similair in EU. So maybe someone knows the rules in EU for this?
The law (in sweden) says 250W motor effect, 25km/h, must pedal. So say I have 3kW, then it's not a bike anymore. So the question is where you draw the line with an obvious more stronger motor. I guess I can have one home in my garage... but:
1. Can I pedal with it when the power is off? (silent motor, was it on or not in slow speeds...?)
2. If above is not allowed, can I pedal with it if I show it is not working (secret kill switch, battery "broken" and so on).
3. Can I sit still on the bike turned on?
4. Can I sit still on the bike if turned off?
5. Can I walk with the bike by my side in the square/town?
