ARCC BROMPTON, User Manual, Page: 7 / 56

As with all mechanical components, bicycles are subjected to wear and high stresses. Different
materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life
of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any
form of crack, severe scratches or change of colouring in highly stressed areas indicate that the
life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced.
If the bicycle is fitted with an e2-pod, the electrical system including the software should not be
modified or tampered with. The hub-motor, Bluetooth controller and e2-pod should not be opened,
tampered with or modified in any way, doing so will invalidate your warranty.
You should stop using the bike immediately and have the bike inspected by a bicycle technician if it
has been subject to a crash or impact. Damaged components should be replaced before the bike
is ridden again.
Note:
We recommend that genuine replacement parts are used for safety-critical components.
See ‘Specification list’ for details.
Please call us for expert advice if you are uncertain on any of the above.
