Driving in wet conditions: You should always remember that your A2B has a longer braking distance. Slow
down, keep a longer distance between yourself and other road users and slow down sooner than usual.
Failure to observe these safety precautions could result in accidents with serious or even fatal injuries and/or
damage to property. If you have any questions about using the brakes, please contact your dealer. Brake discs
and brake linings must be free of oil and grease.
6.1.2 Tyres
Check the tyres for damage, cracks and unusual or severe wear and tear. The tyre should sit correctly in the rim.
Check the tyre bead regularly to ensure that it is seated in the rim. Check that the tread pattern is free of
foreign bodies and that the valve protrudes straight out of the rim.
Damaged or worn tyres should be replaced immediately. Take your A2B to a dealer or qualified bicycle
mechanic to have the tyres replaced if necessary.
In the unlikely event of a puncture, you should be familiar with the correct procedure for removing and
replacing the front and rear wheels.
6.2.1 Cleaning the display
Do not use any cleaning agents such as benzene, thinner, acetone or similar agents for all cleaning processes.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents. Instead, use only commercially available household cleaning
and disinfecting agents (isopropanol) instead.
6.2.2 Cleaning the engine
The motor of your pedelec should be cleaned regularly from dirt, preferably with a dry brush or a damp (not
wet) cloth. Cleaning must not be carried out with running water such as a water hose or even a high-pressure
cleaner. However, driving in the rain and on wet roads is no problem.
Penetrating water can destroy the engine. When cleaning, always ensure that neither liquids nor moisture
penetrate into the motor.
Do not clean the engine while it is warm, e. g. immediately after a trip. Wait until he's cooled down. Otherwise,
damage may occur.
If the motor is removed, e. g. for cleaning purposes, it must never be attached to the cables or transported,
otherwise there is a risk of cable breakage.
If the motor has been removed from the frame of the pedelec, the plug of the motor and the socket of the
cable to the battery pack must be checked or cleaned for possible contamination before assembling.
7 Transport
When transporting the pedelec with a car, the following instructions must be observed:
Protect all components of your pedelec from wetness and dirt by taking appropriate measures.
Remove the battery before attaching the pedelec to the wheel carrier of your car. This also reduces the weight,
which you have to lift especially with a roof rack system.
Always transport the battery in the boot of your car.
The battery should also be removed when transporting indoors (e. g. in a station wagon) to prevent damage
during loading and driving.
For carrier systems with downpipe clamping, ensure that the battery mounting rail is not crushed/damaged
when the clamping device is tightened.
Make sure that the cable ends cannot cause damage to the pedelec or your car while driving.
After driving, check all pedelec contacts for possible foreign bodies or wetness. In order to ensure safe
functioning, all plug connections in particular must be free of dirt and foreign bodies and completely dry.
Never place your pedelec on the side of the gear shift during transport, for example in the boot of a car. This
could damage it.
