Cyclists plead for adapted practical exam for speed pedelec after fatal accident
In the Antwerp district of Deurne on Sunday morning in the early hours of a 23-year-old man to life in a fall with a speed pedelec - an electric bike that up to 45 kilometers per hour ride - on the Joseph Verbovenlei. That says the local police. The Fietsersbond advocates as a result of the accident for a custom practical exam for the directors of speed pedelecs.

The victim drove without a helmet at high speed, lost to an unknown cause control of his bike and came a heavy fall. There would be no other vehicles involved in the accident.

The Park is now calling on to the practical exam for future pedelec-directors. With the fast electric bike to drive, the driver should at this time be in possession of a driving licence for moped or car, but in practice, this is not sufficient, according to the Fietsersbond. For the speed pedelec, there are other skills needed for a moped or car.

Therefore advocates the Cyclists to, it is now also possible to create the practical exam with a speed pedelec.
