WARNING
Risk of short-circuiting and fire!
The lithium ion rechargeable battery is considered
a dangerous good and may be damaged if exposed to
shocks and impacts without such damages being exter-
nally apparent.
• When transporting your e-bike, remove the recharge-
able battery and store it separately.
• Transport the rechargeable battery with special care.
• To rule out any risks and damages, transport the e-bike as
follows:
• Remove the rechargeable battery before transport
(see the chapter “Notes » Rechargeable battery
» Transporting or shipping the rechargeable battery”).
By car
• Store the rechargeable battery so as to prevent slipping and
collision with other objects during the trip.
• Properly secure the load to protect the rechargeable battery
against compressive loads and avoid shocks.
• Store the rechargeable battery so that it is unable to be
heated up by exposure to the sun or other heat sources.
With e-bikes, the forces from braking and lateral forces that act
on the bike rack are stronger than with conventional bicycles.
• Check whether your bike rack is suitable for e-bikes.
• Ask your specialist bicycle dealer about suitable bike racks
for your e-bike.
Using other forms of transportation
When transporting e-bikes with the rechargeable battery,
special guidelines, which are constantly being expanded or
updated, apply. These guidelines may vary from one another
depending on the form of transportation.
• Contact the airline, train or ferry company in due time to
get informed regarding valid provisions that apply for the
transport of e-bikes. Have the technical data handy for this
purpose.
Shipping
• If you ship your e-bike, ship the rechargeable battery
separately and well packed in a suitable transport container
(see chapter “Notes » Rechargeable battery » Transporting
or shipping the rechargeable battery”).
