   • 2024, Marjolein Boele-Vos & Ingrid van Schagen (SWOV), European Commission (2024). Road safety thematic report – Cyclists. European Road Safety Observatory. Brussels, European Commission, Directorate General for Transport., European Union,:

     In this report, cyclists are defined as users of a conventional bicycle or an e-bike, formally called pedelec. A conventional bike is solely human-powered while an e-bike is a bicycle that delivers power when the cyclist pushes the pedals up to a speed of 25 km/h. This report does not deal with users of speed pedelecs. Speed pedelecs offer pedal assistance up to 45 km/h, and are therefore legally categorised as a moped.
