2. MEANING OF "EPAC" - Electrical Power Assisted Cycle
The acronym EPAC is derived from the initials
Electrically Power Assisted Cycle.
In order to be assigned the EPAC classifica-
tion, an electric bicycle must satisfy the re-
quirements set out in the European Standard
EN 15194-2008 and the Machine Directive
2006/42/EC.
In short, in order to be approved for EPAC clas-
sification, an electric bicycle must comply with
the following requirements:
- Auxiliary electric motor having a maxi-
mum continuous rated power of 0.25 kW.
- Propulsive power cut-off when the cyclist
stops pedalling.
- Gradual reduction of auxiliary power out-
put as the vehicle speed increases and
final cut-off when the speed reaches 25
km/h.

ommend that you read and familiarize yourself

or fit the vehicle with a license plate.
Any attempt to modify the performance or
specifications of your EPAC bicycle may re-
sult in legal proceedings and fines.
In order to use your EPAC bicycle on the
public roads, you must first have it fitted

Highway Code (front and rear lights, acous-
tic warning device, etc.) by a qualified in-
stallation technician.
In some countries it may be necessary to en-
sure that the bicycle specifications comply
with the locally applicable standards. Check all
such requirements before using your bicycle.
