Photo: Harald Wirth / pixelio.de It's cold outside, oh no. But many bikers use the winter time to retrofit their moped a little. The new exhaust system? Or the sports driver? Both? But the TÜV warns: The installation, conversion or attachment on the bike can require an expert opinion from the TÜV. This TÜV SÜD tip informs you about what you need to think about when making changes to the motorcycle.
Change to the vehicle: What should be done?
In the case of special requests that go beyond the extras offered by the vehicle manufacturer, the changes must be officially approved by the official body for your own safety. As a general rule, if changes have been made to your vehicle that suggest a possible danger to road users, change the type of vehicle or worsen the exhaust or noise behaviour, the vehicle's operating licence may expire.
Therefore, if you are planning a change in, a modification or conversion, it is important to inform yourself in advance about which expert opinions and documents you need for this. Be sure to do so in a personal conversation with a TÜV employee. If the pre-integrated, possible stumbling blocks can be identified.
