Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bicycle
may increase, when you are riding with your hands on bar
ends
(f)
. The brake levers are not always within easy reach.
g
Make particularly sure there is enough space between
your crotch
(g)
and the top tube so that you do not hurt
yourself, if you have to get off your bicycle quickly.
g
A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much
spring tension in the mechanism can lead to a very firm
connection, from which you cannot quickly step out. Risk
of accident!
g
When mounting your CUBE EPO pedelec, make sure not to
step in the pedals until you sit in the saddle and gripping
the handlebars tight. The motor assistance might switch
on suddenly and result in an uncontrolled start of your
CUBE EPO pedelec. Risk of accident!
g
Please note that in wet conditions the brake performance
is less effective and the tyre grip reduced. Keep this fact in
mind in particular when riding on a wet road and do not
ride as fast as you would in dry conditions.
A
The weight distribution on CUBE EPO pedelecs differs
markedly from the weight distribution on bicycles with-
out drive assistance. Due to the rear wheel drive the CUBE
EPO pedelec is much heavier in the rear than in the front.
For this reason lifting and carrying the CUBE EPO pedelec
is more difficult. Bear this in mind when loading your
pedelec into a car and unloading it or when mounting it on
a bicycle carrier system.
A
CUBE EPO pedelecs are not approved for towing trailers!
A
Your CUBE EPO pedelec is not approved for mounting a
child carrier

!
A
Please note that not all CUBE EPO pedelecs are fitted
with kickstands. Therefore, when parking your CUBE EPO
pedelec, make sure it stands safe and secure and is not at
risk of toppling over or being knocked over. If your CUBE
EPO pedelec topples over, it can suffer from damage.
