Speed Pedelecs: Safe and quick way to get around

The so-called Speed Pedelec has also been available as a variant of the Pedelec for several years. In contrast to the classic Pedelec, Speed Pedelecs reach a higher speed of up to 45 km/h. But what exactly distinguishes a speed Pedelec from a 25 km/h Pedelec and what advantages does it offer? And what do you have to consider when traveling on the road with a speed pedelec in Switzerland?

A speed pedelec is basically an extension of the basic pedelec that is equipped with an electric motor. In contrast to Pedelecs, these electric bikes have a faster electric motor. With the help of such a Pedelec you can cover faster distances and reach your destination more quickly.

Thanks to the faster motor, the Speed Pedelec is very powerful and the rider needs less effort to cover greater distances. This makes the Speed Pedelec an ideal option, especially for commuters and people who have to cover longer distances.

Speed Pedelecs also offer more possible uses than classic Pedelecs. Due to their speed, they are suitable for shorter journeys, for example for short trips in the city, while longer tours in out-of-town areas can be carried out. As a result, you can explore your surroundings more efficiently and reach your destination more quickly.

In Switzerland, speed pedelecs require special approval. Basically, they are subject to the same regulations and laws as other bicycles. Among other things, liability insurance and a license plate must be purchased and a bicycle helmet must be worn. If you follow these guidelines, nothing can stand in the way of you traveling effectively with your Speed Pedelec.
