Abstract

The speed pedelec provides new opportunities for the Flemish commuter, with a higher limited assistance speed
up to 45 km/h compared to the 25 km/h of the normal e-bike. In an attempt to objectively compare seven different
speed pedelec models, based on limited measurements and measurement tools, this paper discusses the
preliminary results of performance testing within two criteria: assistance speed and braking distance. Results
indicate that there is a large variety between the assistance speeds and assistance levels of the speed pedelecs,
and measuring braking distances with limited measuring tools proves to be challenging.
