Recycling

The max-e and its battery pack are products of long durability. However, if
your max-e is old and has reached the end of its lifespan you may return its
components to AAT Alber Antriebstechnik GmbH or your local dealer to be
recycled

.

A new law concerning electric and electronic devices (ElektroG) has been
passed on March 24, 2005 regulating the taking back and recycling of old
electric and electronic devices

.

According to the Federal Office of Environment Protection (German BDU)
the max-e is considered a means of transportation and does not fall under
this law concerning the recycling of old electric or electronic devices (Elek-
troG, §2 paragraph 1 sentence 1 (cross reference, Guideline of the European
Parliament 2002/96/EG

).
