Since January 1, 2017, the speed pedelec is no longer classified as a ‘light moped’ but it falls within the category of ‘mopeds’. As a result, speed pedelec riders are obliged to wear a helmet and to use the combined bicycle/moped paths or the roadway. The speed pedelec must therefore no longer ride on the bicycle path. It is uncertain how the riders of a speed pedelec and other road users respond to this change.
