Pedelec Training Sessions for Seniors Coming to Düsseldorf
Seniors in Düsseldorf, Germany, have the opportunity to improve their e-bike skills and confidence with upcoming Pedelec training sessions. These sessions are designed to help participants practice everything that causes them insecurity in a relaxed manner, making them ideal for seniors, even those with prior cycling experience.
The training sessions, which will take place on July 21, 2025, July 23, 2025, and July 29, 2025, will be held from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM at the Düsseldorf Youth Traffic School's grounds, located at Rather Broich 137, 40472 Düsseldorf.
No registration is required for the training sessions, and participants are expected to bring their own personal bicycle helmet and Pedelec. During the sessions, participants will learn about safe e-bike handling, traffic rules, and practical riding skills tailored for older adults. They will also receive tips on reacting to other motorized traffic participants and the importance of wearing a helmet.
Michael Knapke, an expert in e-bike safety, will demonstrate safe navigation of curbs, particularly with heavy Pedelecs. The sessions will also cover the importance of dismounting at pedestrian crossings and using them as pedestrians with priority, as stated in the general traffic rules.
For those still considering purchasing a Pedelec, the training sessions offer an opportunity to test one on-site during the training sessions.
