An e-bike is usually considered a motor vehicle (MOV) if it meets certain criteria, which may vary depending on the laws and regulations of each country. In most jurisdictions, e-bikes with a motor power above a certain limit are considered motor vehicles. This limit is often 250 watts or 500 watts and may also be set in conjunction with the maximum speed of the e-bike, typically 25 km/h or 45 km/h.

If an e-bike exceeds these limits, it may be legally considered a motorized vehicle and may need to be registered, insured and equipped with appropriate road safety equipment. In some countries and regions, other factors such as the presence of pedals or the ability to manually turn off the motor may also play a role in whether an e-bike is classified as a motor vehicle.

In Germany, an e-bike is considered a motor vehicle (KFZ) if it meets certain criteria set out in the Road Traffic Act (StVG) and the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO). In principle, the following rules apply:

1. Engine power:E-bikes are considered bicycles if their motor power does not exceed 250 watts. This motor power may also only have a supporting effect, i.e. the motor may only make cycling easier, but may not be the sole source of propulsion.
2. Top speed:The maximum speed of the e-bike at which the motor supports is usually 25 km/h. E-bikes that support a higher speed are considered mopeds in Germany.
3. Pedelec or S-Pedelec:Pedelecs (Pedal Electric Cycle) are e-bikes where the motor only provides support up to a speed of 25 km/h. S-Pedelecs (Speed Pedelecs) provide support up to a speed of 45 km/h.
4. Insurance and license plate:Pedelecs that meet the above criteria do not need to be registered and do not require an insurance license plate. S-Pedelecs, on the other hand, must be registered and require an insurance license plate, similar to a moped or a small motorcycle.
5. Road traffic regulations:Pedelecs are allowed to use cycle paths in Germany and are subject to the same traffic rules as bicycles. S-Pedelecs, however, are subject to stricter regulations, such as the requirement to wear a helmet and the prohibition of using cycle paths. They must use the road and require an insurance license plate.

Both MYVELO SUV e-bikes, the Makalu Equipped E-SUV and the Everest Equipped E-SUV, offer an impressive range thanks to their powerful Shimano EP6 motor and 720Wh battery. Both models are equipped with high-quality components that ensure long and comfortable rides. Therefore, both models offer a similarly high range and are ideal for riders who want to go on extended tours.
