"E-Bikes" is a generic term that encompases all categories of Pedelecs, Speed-pedelecs and Mopeds. At SCOTT when we use the word "E-Bike", we talk about bikes with an electric assist system that requires user input (pedal strokes) to be activated. So either Pedelecs (25km/h) or Speed Pedelecs (45km/h).

Speed-pedelecs: E-Bikes with electric assistance that stops at 45km/h (L1e-B). To be activated the assistance needs a human force on the pedals. Walk assist mode up to 6km/h.

Mopeds: E-Bikes with electric assistance that stops at 45km/h (L1e-B). To be activated the assistance does not need a human force on the pedals as there is a throttle. SCOTT doesn't sell Mopeds. 

Pedelecs: E-Bikes with electric assistance that stops at 25km/h (L1e-A). To be activated the assistance needs a human force on the pedals. Walk assist mode up to 6km/h.
