Exchange of SQlab Stems on Pedelec25
E-bikes and pedelecs with a CE mark and a pedal assistance of up to 25 km/h are covered by the Machinery Directive, so components
of these bikes may not be exchanged or modified without further ado. In order to provide clarity, the Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV)
and Verbund Service und Fahrrad (VSF) associations, in cooperation with the Zedler Institute and the Bundesinnungsverband Fahrrad
(BIV), have published a joint guide to component replacement on e-bikes / pedelecs 25.
What bicycle dealers and workshops are allowed to change on these vehicles, and for which components they must obtain the approval
of the vehicle manufacturer or system provider, is clearly regulated by the guide and can thus be classified as a recommended course
of action.
An exchange of SQlab stems with the eBike Ready designation is possible on the basis of the recommended action "Guidelines for
component exchange on CE-marked e-bikes/pedelecs with a pedal assist of up to 25 km/h" of the Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV) and
Verbund Service und Fahrrad (VSF) associations in cooperation with the Zedler Institute and the Bundesinnungsverband Fahrrad (BIV).
On our website www.sq-lab.com/service/downloads/ you will find a document called eBike Ready in the service area under Downloads.
There you will find detailed information on component exchange on Pedelec25, as well as the guidelines for component exchange of the
associations Zweirad-Industrie-Verband (ZIV), Verbund Service und Fahrrad (VSF), the Zedler Institute and the Bundesinnungsverband
Fahrrad (BIV).

may indicate damage due to overloading.
