Recycling and disposal
10 Recycling and disposal
This device is marked according to the
European Directive 2012/19/EU on
waste electrical and electronic
equipment – WEEE and the European
Directive 2006/66/EC on accumulators.
The directive provides the framework for
the return and recycling of used devices
across the EU. As a consumer, you are legally
required to return all used batteries of any type. It
is forbidden to dispose of batteries in domestic
waste. The manufacturer is obliged to take back
used and old batteries free of charge as per
Section 9 German Batteries Act. You thus meet
statutory obligations and help to protect the
environment. The pedelec, battery, motor, display
screen and charger are recyclable materials. You
must dispose of and recycle them separately from
the domestic waste in compliance with applicable
statutory regulations. Separate collection and
recycling saves reserves of raw materials and
ensures that all the regulations for protection of
health and the environment are adhered to when
recycling the product and/or the battery.
 Never dismantle the pedelec, batteries or
charger for disposal.

The pedelec, display screen, the unopened
and undamaged battery and the charger can
be returned to any specialist dealer free of
charge. Depending on the region, further
disposal options may be available.
 Store the individual parts of the
decommissioned pedelec in a dry place, free
from frost, where they are protected from direct
sunlight.
