So i have this idea about building my own Pedelec and then i came across the fact that if i build a Pedelec by myself I have to get it tested by StVO or something and that test itself will cost thousands of Euros?

Is it legal to build your own eMTB? All the most important information and legislation regarding DIY ebikes

To be clear, i don’t want to just assemble a kit, i found single seat but not two so i need to build it myself, with roof and everything. Something like https://pedelec-elektro-fahrrad.de/news/cityq-e-bike-auto-aus-norwegen-kommt-nach-deutschland/582431/

Do i need to do the testing? I’ll get the approved parts and everything. Keep the limit at 25kmph, motor 250kw etc. But there is no frame, not that i could see and even if there is. If I’m successfully able to build it, do i need to get it tested?(to make it bicycle path legal? )
