3.1
Requirements for the rider
If there are no legal requirements for the rider of
electrically power assisted cycles, we recommend that
the rider should be a minimum 15 years of age and
have experience with muscle-powered bicycles.
The physical and mental abilities of the rider must be
sufficient for the use of a muscle-powered bicycle.
If the bicycle is used by minors, as well as thorough
instruction to be provided by or in the presence of the
legal guardians, supervised use should also be
scheduled until there is certainty that the bicycle is
being used in accordance with these operating
instructions. The legal guardians hold sole
responsibility for determining whether minors are
suitable to use the bicycle.
3.2
Proper use
The bicycle must only be used in perfect, fully
functional condition. National requirements may apply
to the bicycle which differ from the standard
equipment. For riding on public roads, some special
regulations apply in relation to
running light
,
reflectors
and other components.
The general laws and the regulations for the
prevention of accidents and environmental protection
in the respective country of use must be adhered to.
Proper use also includes all instructions for actions
and check lists in these operating instructions.
Approved accessories can be installed by specialist
staff.
Each bicycle is assigned to a
bicycle type
which
determines the proper use.
