Press down on your CUBE EPO pedelec and see whether the
spring elements retract and extend as usual.

you set off. Risk of accident!
13. Do not forget to take a high quality D-
(c)
or chain lock with you
on your ride. The only way to effectively protect your CUBE EPO
pedelec against theft is to lock it to an immovable object.
g
Improperly closed quick-releases and other fastenings can
cause components of the CUBE EPO pedelec to come loose
and result in serious accidents!
g
Do not use your CUBE EPO pedelec, if it fails on one of
these points! Riding a defective CUBE EPO pedelec can re-
sult in serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, contact your CUBE bicycle dealer.
g
During use your CUBE EPO pedelec is undergoing stress
resulting from the surface of the road and through the rid-
er’s action. Due to these dynamic loads, the different parts
of your bicycle react with wear and fatigue. Please check
your CUBE EPO pedelec regularly for wear marks, scratch-
es
(d)
, deformations, colour changes and any indication of
cracking. Components which have reached the end of their
service life may break without previous warning. Let your
CUBE dealer maintain and service your CUBE EPO pedelec
regularly and in cases of doubt it is always best to replace
components.
