The torque (measured in Newton metres “Nm”) describes the rotation effect (or torsion) resulting from the application of force, e.g., pedalling.
If you compare motors with torques of 75 Nm and 40 Nm, a stationary start at 75 Nm is significantly faster and more pleasant than at 45 Nm. This does not include the watt output from the battery. Ultimately, the higher the maximum torque, the better the acceleration.

Assistance levels can vary according to the manufacturer, both in terms of the number and choice.

Some manufacturers insist that walk assist should only be used when you want to push your bike. It is easily activated using an external switch or button. This is generally on the handlebars of your e-bike. As a result, it is not necessary to pedal in order to move the e-bike.

In Germany and Europe, e-bikes are not permitted to exceed a power-assisted speed of 25 km/hour. They are also classed as mopeds.

With a Speed Pedelec, the maximum speed is 45 km/h. However, there are some conditions: You must be at least 16 years old and have a moped driving licence (AM or B). You also need insurance and a number plate. Since 2013, helmets are also compulsory on S-Pedelecs. A normal bicycle helmet is sufficient.

There is no universal answer to this question. There are many different factors that can affect the range. These include, for example, the assistance level, your cycling behaviour, your weight, the tyre pressure and the ground conditions. Depending on the size of the battery, the range can vary between 50 and 150 km.

Depending on capacity, the Bosch e-bike battery charging times vary, from 3.5 to 4.9 hours. For example:
