Safety instructions
Falls and very serious injuries can be caused by parts of the
Pedelec coming loose!
Loose or under-tightened screws, bolts, nuts and fastenings lead
to loose, slipping components (loose handlebars, slipping
seatposts, loose saddles, wheels slipping out of the fork or
dropouts, loose pedals) and can lead to loss of stability and
balance when riding.
Always comply with the torque specifications or instructions
for the correct tightening of fasteners on the headset, stem,
handlebar, saddle and seatpost, wheels and axles.
Follow the instructions for the correct installation of pedals.
Note the information on the minimum insertion depth
of the seatpost.
Using the power button while riding
Falls, crashes and injuries can occur if the power button is
operated while the bike is in motion!

can become compromised. Trying to operate the button while
riding can cause distractions.
