1. Safety
1.1 Legal requirements
Like all bicycles, the bike must comply
with the requirements of the national
highway code. The legal requirements set
out below are applicable to the bike:
• The motor may only be used to assist
pedalling, i.e. it must only “help” when
the bike user applies effort to the pedals
him or herself. The walk assist function
is an exception to this is; it helps when
wheeling the bike.
• The average motor power of an e-bike
(25 km/h) must not exceed 250 W. As
speed increases motor power must
continue to drop progressively.
• The motor of an e-bike must stop at
(approx.) 25 km/h.
• The average motor power of a speed
pedelec (45 km/h) must not exceed 350
W. As speed increases motor power must
continue to drop progressively.
• The motor of a speed pedelec must stop
at (approx.) 45 km/h.

1.3 Maintenance and repair
When carrying out settings, as well
as maintenance or cleaning jobs, be
aware that cables must not be pinched and/
or kinked nor must they be damaged by
sharp edges. Have all fitting and setting
jobs carried out by your Gazelle specialist.
Observe operating and storage
temperatures for e-bike components.
Protect the motor, display and battery
against extreme temperatures (e.g. intense
sunlight without adequate ventilation).
These components (especially the battery)
can be damaged by extreme temperatures.
