Determination of the maximum torque and maximum power of L-category vehicles equipped with a hybrid propulsion 315 3. Requirements concerning the methods for measuring the maximum torque and maximum continuous rated power of a pure electric propulsion type 316 4. Requirements concerning the method for measuring the maximum continuous rated power, switch-off distance and maximum assistance factor of an L1e category vehicle designed to pedal referred to in Article 3(94b) of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013 317 1. Introduction 1.1. In this Annex requirements are set out with regard to the output performance of the propulsion units of L-category vehicles, in particular with regard to measurement of the maximum design vehicle speed, the maximum torque, the maximum net power or maximum continuous rated power. In addition for L1e category vehicles designed to pedal specific requirements are set out to determine the switch-off distance and maximum assistance factor of the propulsion units. 1.2. The requirements are custom tailored for L-category vehicles equipped with propulsion units referred to in Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) No 168/2013. 2. Test procedures The test procedures set out in appendices 1 to 4 shall be used for the type-approval of L-category vehicles.
