NTA 8776

In order to equip users of speed e-bikes (S-EPACs) with a suitable helmet, a NEN-project group has developed the NTA 8776 standard. It contains all legal requirements for such helmets. NTA 8776 is now available at NEN.

S-EPAC’s, also known as speed e-bikes as well as speed-pedelecs, are bicycles with auxiliary propulsion power, assisting the rider with pedalling up to a maximum of 45 km/h. According to the new EU directive (No 168/2013) on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadricycles, the S-EPAC is classified as a moped. For the Netherlands, for instance, this means that wearing a moped helmet (in compliance with ECE R22) is currently mandatory for S-EPAC users.

ABS brakes for e-bikes

Safety comes first: The Bosch eBike ABS in summary

With Bosch’s eBike ABS, the probability of overrun is reduced. The rider benefits from more stability and better steerability, while using the brake better. The eBike ABS consists of:

  • ABS control unit
  • Separate ABS indicator light
  • ABS wheel speed sensors
  • New CMe ABS brake developed by Magura
  • Magura ABS sensor disc + brake disc

The set weighs around 800 grams. The ABS is automatically enabled above a speed of six kilometres per hour.

Front-wheel ABS

Wheel speed sensors monitor the speed of both wheels. If locking of the front wheel is anticipated during severe braking, Bosch eBike ABS activates and improves the riding stability and steerability of the eBike – especially when riding on slippery surfaces. Harmonious and sensitive braking behaviour significantly increases control and safety.

Rear wheel lift control

The intelligent rear wheel lift control of Bosch eBike ABS reduces the possibility of the rear wheel lifting when the front wheel brake is applied forcefully. The likelihood of being ejected over the handlebar is reduced. This enables you to use the front brake more actively and efficiently.
