properly, pedal, and steer the bike without any
interference from the cargo.
• Cargo should not interfere with normal operations
of the brakes and derailleur(s).
• Tall or large objects in the front of the bike should
not block your vision.
• Make sure that lighting or reflectors are not
covered by your cargo.
DANGER!
If you cannot position your cargo to fulfil
all of the above requirements, do not
attempt to ride with the cargo.
ATTENTION!
Riding behaviour is altered by a full
load and the braking distance is longer.
Carefully familiarise yourself with the
different riding behaviour of the fully-
loaded bike.
17. Transporting you e-bike
If transporting your e-bike, always take due
consideration of the weight of your bike, battery and
any luggage you plan to lift or carry. Balance this
against your particular physical capabilities. The
circumstances i.e. route, under-foot conditions etc.
must also be considered before each lift and/or carry
of the bike and luggage.
DANGER!
Remove the battery before transporting
your e-bike to avoid unintentional
activation of the electric system which
can cause injuries.
Do not attempt to lift or carry the combined weight
of the bike and luggage. Whenever you are no longer
able to ride your e-bike, inside a train station for
example, you should first push it as far as possible
and then remove the luggage before carrying it for the
shortest distance.
Public transportation
Pedelecs can generally be transported on trains
and public transportation like conventional bicycles.
Please check with the rail or public transport operator
for specific requirements.
• Some operators require you to pre-book a space
and buy a separate ticket for the pedelec.
• Some allow travel with your pedelec only during
off-peak hours.
• Some require a cover to be placed on the pedelec.
Airplane
• Batteries used on pedelecs are considered
potentially hazardous and cannot be transported
on airplanes.
• Inquire with your local forwarder to see if you can
ship the battery separately.
Car
• Ask your dealer for a test fitting if you are
interested in a bicycle carrier. Make sure the
carrier securely encloses the tubes and provides
stable support. Adapt your speed and way of
driving to the additional load and altered driving
behaviour.
• To reduce the weight, remove the battery from
your bike and place it inside the vehicle.
• Transport your bike inside your vehicle if you drive
a hatchback or have sufficient trunk space.
• Be careful not to damage the Derailleur
ATTENTION!
Keep in mind that your vehicle will be
larger due to the added dimensions of the
carrier and bike.
ATTENTION!
Some bike carrier clamps can damage
the frame tubes. Contact your specialist
dealer if you are in any doubt.
