Powerdynamo and road licencing regulations |

this will evidently differ from country to country, but there surely are legal aspects of your national road licensing laws to be taken into consideration when using our material. Not knowing your legal conditions, we model the following on the German Law: |

The manufacturer of our electronic components, VAPE, had submitted the materials to an accredited technical service in Prague, Czech Republic, for testing against compliance with ECE regulations 10R-04 1421/1424/1425/1426/1427 (electromagnetic compatibility). The material all passed and certificates to the effect of their compliance have been issued. Starting with production run september 2014 the parts are now marked with E8 10R-04 xxxx to show compliance. Example see here. | ||

Road Traffic Licensing Regulations define technical conditions under which motor vehicles are allowed on public roads. | |||
Modifications you do on a
vehicle may result in its legal road unworthiness. In Germany e.g. this is the case if 1. the type of vehicle is changed (notably if the vehicle is by category limited in speed or engine capacity) 2. this may endanger others or 3. increases emission of gassous pollutants and/or noise. |

1. The ignition systems we offer are by declaration destined to replace stock dynamo/ignition systems in vintage and classic motorcycles whose engine characteristics have not been tempered with. Powerdynamo material will not change the engine characteristics of those motorcycles. Using our systems will not result in significantly higher engine output. It is not tunig material. In a few 50cc engines the stock ignition has a revolution limiter build in to stick to speed limits. Those are bypassed when replacing the stock system with Powerdynamo. In the cases concerned we expressly mention this circumstance. Powerdynamo systems which contain facilities to change advance (replacing mechanical centrigugal govenors or stock electronics) have been modeled along the stock characteristics. Those units do not contain programmable microprocessors and the characteristics in them may not be altered. 2. Our systems are not detrimental to safety, on the contrary significantly enhance it by offering better lighting, better function of signalling equipment such as side indicators and horn and offer, compared with the aging stock systems, increased reliability. 3. As our systems do not tamper with engine characteristics they do not increase emission of gassous pollutants and noise. In most cases emission of pullutants should be even reduced due to better combustion. |
