German term or phrase: ABE
Für viele sportliche Motorräder bieten wir eine umfangreiche Produktpalette für den Rennsporteinsatz, aber auch für den Straßenbetrieb (mit ABE) an.
It could be that I shouldn't translate 'ABE' but I would like to footnote it at least, so I need to know what it is.

Explanation:
Allgemeine Betriebserlaubnis
A bike which is used only at sport events doesn't need one, but when you want to use it on public roads also, you need a "Betriebserlaubnis". The German TÜV (Technischer Überwachungsverein) inspects it and decides, whether it is allowed to be used on public roads or not.
