6.1 Risks and hazards
Injuries and fatalities caused by blind spots
Other road users, trucks, cars and pedestrians
often underestimate the speed of pedelecs.
Likewise, other road users frequently do not see
pedelecs. This may cause a crash with serious
injuries or even death.
 Wear a helmet. The helmet must have a
reflective strip or a light in a clearly visible
colour.
 Clothing should be retroreflective or as light as
possible. Fluorescent materials are also
suitable. High-visibility jackets and straps on
your upper body ensure even greater safety.
 Always take a defensive approach to riding.
 Avoid the blind spots of vehicles turning off the
road. Reduce speed as a precaution when
other road users turn right.
Injuries and death caused by riding
incorrectly
A pedelec is not a bicycle. Incorrect riding and
underestimated speeds soon result in hazardous
situations. This can cause an accident with serious
or fatal injuries.
 Slowly get used to road traffic and speed
before riding at speeds over 12 km/h,
especially if you have not ridden a bike for
some time. Increase the levels of assistance
gradually.
 Practice braking hard on a regular basis.
 Take and complete a riding safety course.
WARNING
!
Injuries and death caused by distraction
A lack of concentration while riding increases the
risk of an accident. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.

Never allow yourself to be distracted by the
on-board computer or your mobile phone.

Stop the pedelec if you want to make inputs on
the on-board computer other than change the
level of assistance. Only enter data when
stationary.
Crash caused by loose clothing
Shoe laces, scarves and other loose items may
become entangled in the spokes on the
wheels
and on the chain drive . This may cause a crash
with injuries.

Wear sturdy footwear and close-fitting
clothing.
Crash caused by difficult-to-spot damage
If the pedelec topples over or you have a fall or an
accident, there may be difficult-to-spot damage to
components such as the brake system, quick
releases or frame. This may cause a crash with
injuries.
 Take pedelec out of service. Contact specialist
dealer.
