Electric bicycle and pedal-assist bike driving courses

On September 24, 2025, a traffic safety training for e-bike and pedelec riding will take place at the Emil-Fischer-Gymnasium schoolyard from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM. This event is being organised by SIE, the Traffic Accident Prevention Department of the County Police, and Kraftrad.

The training aims to address the increase in accidents involving pedelecs or e-bikes, and is particularly relevant for older people who may find the idea of e-bike assistance appealing. The training will include a theoretical introduction by PHK Lydia Huepgen and PHK Joerg Meyer, as well as practical exercises and potential hazard highlighting.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own e-bikes and protective gear. However, for those who do not have their own, Oliver Bussmann from Kraftrad will provide pedelecs and helmets. It is important to note that a suitable helmet is required for the practical exercises.

The minimum number of participants required is 8, and registration for the training is mandatory. Registration can be done with Claudia Aulmann at the Seniorenbuero of the City of Euskirchen. Claudia's contact information is: telephone 02251/14-222, or by email to her email address provided.

During the practical exercises, potential hazards will be highlighted, and participants will learn about safe mounting, dismounting, riding, and associated peculiarities. The training is free of charge, making it an excellent opportunity for those interested in e-bike and pedelec safety to learn and improve their skills.

It is important to note that there is no available information in the search results about the identity of Oliver Bussmann in connection with the Seniorenburo event in the city of Euskirchen.

We hope that this training will contribute to a safer environment for e-bike and pedelec riders in the community. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity and register for the training.
