Operation

Personal protective equipment
It is recommended that you wear a suitable
cycling helmet, sturdy footwear and typical, close-
fitting, reflective sports clothing.
Crash caused by poor road conditions
Loose objects, such as branches and twigs, may
become caught in the wheels and cause a crash
with injuries.
Be aware of the road conditions.
Ride slowly and brake in good time.
The
tyres
may slip on wet roads. In wet conditions
you must also expect a longer braking distance.
The braking sensation differs from the usual
sensation. This can cause loss of control or a
crash, which may result in injuries.
Ride slowly and brake in good time when it is
raining.
Crash caused by soiling
Heavy soiling can impair pedelec functions, such
as braking. This may cause a crash with injuries.
Remove coarse soiling before riding.
Notice
Heat or direct sunlight can cause the
tyre pressure
to increase above the permitted maximum
pressure. This can destroy the
tyres
.
Never park the pedelec in the sun.
On hot days, regularly check the
tyre pressure
and adjust it as necessary.
When riding downhill, high speeds may be
reached. The pedelec is only designed to exceed
a speed of 25 km/h for short intervals. The
tyres
in particular can fail if exposed to a continuous
load.
Use the brakes to decelerate the pedelec
if you reach speeds greater than 25 km/h.
CAUTION
!
Notice
Moisture penetrating at low temperatures may
impair individual functions due to the open
structural design.
Always keep the pedelec dry and free from
frost.
If the pedelec is to be used at temperatures
below 3 °C, the specialist dealer must carry
out an inspection and prepare it for winter use.
Off-road riding subjects the joints in the arms to
severe strain. Take a break from riding every
30 to 90 minutes, depending on the road surface
conditions and your physical fitness
