What other elements require attention, in case of a pedelec?
Introduction
The pedelec’s electric motor assists you while
you pedal. Pedelec stands for Ped al Ele ctric C y-
cle and means that the motor is only activated
when you pedal. This provides helpful assistance
particularly on inclines or when transporting
loads. While riding your pedelec, you can decide
how much support you want to receive from the
motor.
These original operating instructions are not
intended for the assembly and/or repair of pe-
delecs.
Changes done to the technical details that
pertain to the information and illustrations are
reserved for the original operating instructions.
These original operating instructions con-
tain general information about the pedelec’s
characteristics. Since there are many different
models and designs, it is not possible to provide
the reader with every bit of information. To find
out specialised information about your pedelec,
please read the operating instructions included
by the component manufacturer. You can find
general technical information in the original gen-
eral operating instructions enclosed.

al statutory regulations for riding a pedelec.

tended purpose (see also page 8). If
