Klever batteries are easily removable batteries that you can charge anywhere. They are durable and easily portable thanks to the ergonomic handle.
All Klever batteries are compatible and can be used with other Klever speed pedelecs.
Klever batteries work even at low temperatures and are protected against short-circuit, over- and discharging.

A stylish e-bike of top quality. On the Klever X Speed Swiss, Swiss dreams come true: it is the real alternative to the polluting car. With its whisper-quiet 600-watt motor, you effortlessly reach true 45 km/h. The frame is enormously stiff - and the combination of 27.5″ wheels and Schwalbe Super Moto X tyres gives the riding feel of a powerful road bike. It's perfect for speed-seeking cyclists. For our urban heroes. From now on, put an end to stressful traffic and say "Ciao" to traffic jams!
"Wow, this is real cycling! You feel the power immediately when you switch it on and pedal!"
"Super strong support. You accelerate so fast that it's a real replacement for the moped."
"Hugely comfortable pedelec with powerful support (up to almost 50 km/h)."
This is what our urban heroes say about its big brother, the Klever X Speed. And we are proud that our X Speed has been named one of the best S-Pedelecs in the 'AD Bike Test' 2019. However, the X Speed Swiss is not inferior to the X Speed in this respect.
Because you are always faster on the road with an S-Pedelec, control and safety are key - and set higher standards than with regular bikes. Our S-Pedelecs are specifically developed to meet these higher standards, from frame construction to components and accessories.
-It takes 3.5 hours to charge an 850 wh battery
-It takes 5 hours to charge a 1,200 wh battery
-It takes 6.7 hours to charge a 1,600 wh battery
It is never possible to say exactly what the range of a battery is.
There are 3 factors of great influence:
-Cold: when it is cold outside, the battery's range is shorter
-the level of assistance: the pedal assistance has 3 positions: position 1, 2 and 3.
At setting 1 (light support, more powerful self-pedalling) the battery will naturally last longer than at setting 3, where you have maximum support from the motor and need to pedal much less forcefully yourself
-Driving conditions: wind against or uphill consumes more energy and this reduces range.
To give you an idea:
A 570 wh battery will get you between 30 and 90 km
An 850 wh battery will get you between 45 and 130 km
With a 1,200 wh battery: get between 70 and 200 km
With a 1,600 wh battery: get between 95 and 250 km
Our 1,600 wh battery is the largest battery in the market, there is hardly any other brand with such a large battery.
But note that the kilometres mentioned are the maximum mileage achievable.
So if you go cycling in very cold weather, against the wind, with maximum assistance and pedal less vigorously yourself... you can well imagine that you are not going to reach this maximum range.
In more favourable conditions, you will achieve many more kilometres. You probably also understand, if you want to extend your range, cycle less on setting 3 and more on setting 1 and 2.
This is not necessary. However, it is recommended to use the battery regularly and also charge it regularly. It has been shown that the capacity of speed pedelec batteries is negatively affected if they are used too little (i.e. not discharged and charged enough)
It is not desirable to charge the battery when it is freezing. The battery is even protected against charging in too cold conditions, it simply does not charge then.
So charging in winter is done indoors.
You can, of course, drive during frost.
But: important is to turn off regeneration.
Regeneration is that the bike brakes on the motor and the energy released in the process is charged back to the battery.
So you shouldn't have that when it's freezing. Therefore, turn off Regeneration in winter.
Check your user manual how to do that, all user manuals can be found on our website
It is not wise to charge your battery in cold conditions, especially when it is freezing.
The battery is even protected against charging in too cold conditions. So if you are going to charge in winter, remove your battery from the Klever speed pedelec and take it indoors. Charging at room temperature is ideal.
The storage capacity of batteries or accumulators slowly decreases over the years, just think of your mobile phone. So it is important to make the best use of that battery capacity.
The klever batteries are tuned so that part of the battery capacity is reserved, to protect the battery. This makes your range more constant over the years.
So you don't have to set anything yourself, the Klever battery charges according to its ideal charging capacity (and that's not quite full)
The legal Speed Pedelec rules in Belgium are:
you must be at least 16 years old
you must have at least a moped licence or a motorbike or car licence
wearing a bicycle helmet complying with EN1078 is compulsory
Upon receipt, the speed pedelec must be registered with the Vehicle Registration Department (DIV) and have a white/red number plate. Your Klever dealer will do that for you; that dealer is certified by the DIV to do so
a speed pedelec rides on a moped path or on the carriageway, as a speed pedelec rider you adhere to the traffic rules that apply to mopeds
No special insurance is required in Belgium for a vehicle with pedal assistance (even at over 25 km/h). Family BA (Civil Liability) insurance is then sufficient. If a vehicle can propel autonomously without pedal assistance above the speed of 25 km/h, then a third-party moped insurance is required
The legal Speed Pedelec rules in the Netherlands are:
you must be at least 16 years old
you must have at least a moped licence or a motorbike or car licence
wearing a NTA 8776-compliant bicycle helmet is mandatory
a rear-view mirror on the steering wheel is mandatory
Before use, the speed pedelec must be registered with the Dutch Road Transport Agency (RDW) and must be provided with a yellow number plate; your Klever dealer will do that for you, and the dealer is certified by the RDW to do so

You determine your own desired speed at all times, based on your pedalling power, the gear you choose and the support mode of your speed pedelec.
Like any bicycle, a speed pedelec has gears. With the Klever speed pedelecs, there are 10.
You choose the gear you like: do you like a bit heavier pedalling and fewer revolutions or lighter pedalling and more revolutions?
In addition, the speed pedelec has 3 modes of support: mode 1, 2 and 3.
1 is the lowest support, 2 medium and 3 the most powerful support.
To cycle 45 km/h, you will need mode 3 and use a reasonably heavy gear.
Speed pedelecs are distinguished from traditional electric bikes by their higher speed capacity.
Speed pedelecs are electric bikes that go really fast.
While most regular e-bikes stick around 25 km per hour, speed pedelecs can reach speeds of up to 45 km per hour.
This makes it possible to cover significantly longer distances in a shorter time.
And you can get to your destination much faster, without breaking a sweat.
Because of that high speed of 45 km/h, speed pedelecs are considered mopeds in the Benelux, and specific rules apply to them.
One such rule is that you must have a licence plate on your speed pedelec.
This is necessary so that your bike is registered and recognisable in traffic, just as it is for mopeds and scooters (as well as cars).
The number plate also helps enforce traffic rules (you can be recognised as a road user).
In addition, having a number plate also requires you to have compulsory third-party insurance.
These rules make using speed pedelecs safer for you and for other road users.
