If a rack is not already fitted to your bicycle, please do not attempt to fit one yourself.

Make sure your body and other objects do not come into contact with the chain or the
wheels whilst they are moving.

wet or with keys or other metallic objects, in case they damage the battery pole and
cause a short circuit.
