3.2 Terms of use
The pedal-assisted bicycle was designed and built to be driven outdoors, on public
roads and on cycle paths, but always on asphalted surfaces.
Any modification of the state of construction can compromise the behavior, safety
and stability of the pedal-assisted bicycle and can lead to an accident.
Other types of use, or the extension of use beyond that envisaged, do not
correspond to the destination assigned by the manufacturer, and therefore the
manufacturer cannot accept any responsibility for any resulting damage.
Battery autonomy, and therefore the estimated mileage in km, can vary significantly
depending on the type of use and external influences; see the following particularly
influential factors: user weight, pedaling frequency, assistance level selected on the
display, average speed, tire tread thickness and wear, slope and road surface,
weather conditions.
3.3 Use environment
The pedal-assisted bicycle can be used outdoors, in the absence of adverse
weather conditions (rain, hail, snow, strong wind, etc.).
Maximum allowed temperature: + 40 ° C
Minimum allowed temperature: + 0 ° C
Maximum allowed humidity: 80%
The environment of use must have a flat, compact asphalt surface, free of
roughness, holes or depressions, free of obstacles and oil stains.
In addition, the place of use must be properly illuminated by the sun or by artificial
lights (recommended from 300 to 500 lux), in order to guarantee the correct view of
the path and the controls of the pedal-assisted bicycle.
Prohibited use environments
The pedal-assisted bicycle must not be used:
in areas subject to fire or explosion risk;
in environments with corrosive and / or chemically active atmosphere;
in poorly lit environments;
on land with a slope of more than 10%;
on uneven, unpaved land.
3.4 Improper uses
The actions described below, which obviously cannot cover the entire range of
potential possibilities of "misuse" of the pedal-assisted bicycle, are to be considered
absolutely prohibited.
Forbidden Operations
Performing prohibited operations invalidates the warranty.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to things and
people resulting from the execution of prohibited operations.
