assisted pedal bike

[Arti045]

Good morning

I put this discussion in this part of the forum because I found that assisted pedal bikes, not covered by Directive 2002/24/ce, i.e. motor-assisted bikes with a maximum power not exceeding 0.25kw and that do not exceed 25 km/h fall into the machine directive. are equivalent to speeds (art 50 road code) and not to motor vehicles with 2 or 3 wheels.
all this to say that my father would like to turn the normal bike into a assisted pedal bike. on the internet is found of everything, kit of all prices, videos on how to do, etc.. I was recently at a fair in Padua (I am passionate about bikes) and also found them a lot of kits and technicians ready to explain how to do.
My question is the following. but if the assisted pedal bike is part of the machine directive, the employee, rather than the farmer or the accountant who wants to self-modify the bike by turning it into an e-bike as he does??? I mean, how is this possible?
I have seen that there is a reference rule, in 15194, although compliance with this rule in the Member States is not mandatory for manufacturers (except in France and in the United Kingdom).
but one who does not know a bunch of all this as it does to self-build a product that in relay should report the marking according to the machine directive, the electromagnetic compatibility directive (this believes is supplied with the kit) and wanting to be super sure in accordance with en 15194?

thanks in advancev:wink:

(ii) the Commission's proposal for a Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to turnover taxes;
These are the exclusions of the machinery directive:

(c) the following means of transport:
— agricultural and forestry tractors for the risks covered by Directive 2003/37/EEC, excluding machines installed on such vehicles,
— motor vehicles and their trailers covered by Council Directive 70/156/EEC of 6 February 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the homologation of motor vehicles and their trailers (1), excluding the machines installed on such vehicles,
— vehicles covered by Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 March 2002 on the type-approval of two or three-wheel motor vehicles (2), excluding machines installed on these vehicles,
— motor vehicles exclusively from competition, and
— transport by air, by sea or by rail, excluding machines installed on such vehicles;

How to certify?
1. ask someone who knows the matter and helps you
2. study the subject and do self-certification.

As the bike is for you maybe we need it in case of accident (if it is not marked maybe the insurance breaks the boxes .... knowing them! ! )

thanks for the answer

Gerod, I certainly want to allow my father to circulate with a good means. That's why I'm interested. I found this:
http://ecotrasporto.it/pdf/biciclette-elettriche-scheda-tecnica-normativa.pdfwhere it is clearly reported that since 2010 they are inside the machine directive. The standard in question is not harmonized within the meaning of the machinery directive but is a rule which clearly refers to the bike in question and some states have made it compulsory.

It is clear that the Member States cannot prohibit the placing on the market and/or putting into service machines which respect the directive. I have read the guide to the machine directive (you know that for work use) and in the explanation of that article the directive says that Member States cannot impose requirements or other than those imposed by the directive. this link:
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sect...inery/guide-appl-2006-42-ec-2nd-201006_it.pdfI wonder why France and the United Kingdom impose a norm and the other Member States do not? I'm sorry, maybe it could be a stupid question, but I'm not going to get there.

regarding the tasformation of the bike I will ask someone in this field
