With E-Bikes, in contrast to Pedelecs, power from the motor is regulated solely by the twist-grip, as is the case with mopeds and motorcycles. The motor and the rider's muscles are therefore independent power systems. E-Bikes can be driven by muscle power alone or with muscle and motor power like the Pedelec or only with motor power as a light motorcycle. In Germany, E-Bikes must be registered and therefore must be insured. By law, their maximum speed is limited to 20 km/h.
