4 TRANSPORTING THE PEDELEC
Remove the battery before transportation and
transport it separately. Cover the contacts with a
transport cap to prevent the risk of a short
circuit. In the case of a short circuit, there is a
risk of injury and fire.
4.1 By car
You can transport your Pedelec by car as you
would a normal pedelec. The weight of the
Pedelec will call for a heavier-duty rack.
4.2 By public transport
The same regulations apply as when transporting
a bicycle. For safety reasons, remove the battery
before entering a train with the Pedelec, and do
not put it back until you have dismounted.
4.3 By airplane
The battery must be considered as a hazard-
ous material. It must be carried as such. Please
consult your airline.
5 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
If parts of your Pedelec are replaced, please take
note of the waste disposal instructions for your
local waste disposal company. Used batteries
and accumulators must not be disposed of with
normal household waste.
Every consumer is obliged by law to dispose of
used batteries at a collection point specifically for
used batteries at a recycling center, battery trad-
ing company, specialist dealer or manufacturer.
Batteries containing harmful substances are
marked with a symbol consisting of a crossed-
out waste bin and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg
or Pb) of the heavy metal which is responsible for
its classification as a pollutant.
For further information, please contact your
local waste disposal service or your municipal
administration.
Waste batteries, accumulators with lead, NiMH
(nickel metal hydride) or lithium-ion technology
are considered dangerous goods.
Lithium-ion batteries should be isolated on each
pole with insulating tape to prevent short-
circuiting, and potentially dangerous follow-up
reactions. When transporting or transferring the
batteries to a waste disposal facility, the provi-
sions of the ADR (regulations for the transport of
dangerous goods) apply.
According to European Directive 2006/66/EC,
defective or used batteries must not be used,
and, in accordance with the European Directive
2002/96/EC, electrical equipment that is no
longer usable must be collected separately and
recycled in an environmentally sound manner.
The drive unit, battery, display, control element,
accessories and packaging must be recycled
in an environmentally sound manner. Do not
throw components of the electric drive out with
household waste.
Dispose of used batteries with an authorized
pedelec dealer.
