ATTENTION!
It is important to familiarise yourself with
the laws in your specific location before
you begin riding your e-bike.
Riders are generally not required to have a driver’s
license to operate a pedelec and are not required to
obtain any special licensing or registration for their
pedelecs.
7. Safety
• Always take care in traffic as not to endanger
yourself or others.
• Respect the rules of the road so you don’t draw
the ire of other road users.
• Never ride without a helmet.
• Do not ride with hands off the handlebar.
• Do not ride with headphones and do not use your
phone on the e-bike.
• Do not drive if you are impaired in your driving
ability by medication, alcohol or other drugs
• Check if quick releases, thru axles or axle bolts
are properly secured. Do this before every ride
and even if you only shortly parked your e-bike.
• Adjust your speed to the terrain and your riding
ability.
• Always pay attention to road conditions and check
for potholes and other dangers, like car doors
opening and kids playing.
• Adapt your driving style to the weather conditions.
Riding in low light or poor visibility, such as
at night, dawn, dusk, in rain or in fog is more
dangerous than in daytime lighting conditions.
• Wet or slippery roads and heavy load increase the
braking distance so brake more gently and earlier
under those circumstances.
• To prevent skidding when slowing or stopping your
bike, pull Brakes gradually. Skidding does not slow
you down faster and means you cannot steer well
so it should be avoided.
• If you slam on your Front Brake, you may fly over
the Handlebar, or your Rear Wheel may slide out
behind you. If the Rear Wheel rises, lean back and
ease off your Front Brake.
• Ride cautiously and defensively when visibility is
reduced. Your movement may be obscured so ride
predictably.
• Travel in a straight line unless you are avoiding
hazards or passing and always indicate your
intention to turn or pass.
• Think about your own visibility and avoid entering
vehicle blind spots.
• Make sure your lights are working properly.
• Reflectors should be clean, unbroken and
mounted correctly.
• Use a bell, horn or your voice to indicate your
intention to pass and do so in advance so as not
to startle the rider you are passing.
• Make sure you always wear appropriate clothing
for example bright colours and reflective gear.
• Make sure you always wear shoes with non-slip
and rigid sole.
• If you ride through forests and meadows, please
respect nature by cycling only on marked or paved
roadways. Observe the legal requirements for the
off-road use of bicycles. These are available from
your local authorities.
Note to all parents and guardians
As guardians you are responsible for the technical
condition of the e-bike and the safety of your child.
ATTENTION!
Minors may only ride e-bikes when
they have reached the required age
and possess the necessary license
respectively.
DANGER!
Always disconnect the power cable from
the e-bike battery before you start to
transport, maintain or work on your e-bike.
Unintended activation of the e-bike drive
can lead to injuries.
TIP!
All components must be replaced by
identical parts or parts with official type
approval.
8. Before your first ride
Make sure that you understand how to operate
and use your new e-bike before your first ride. Pay
attention to how a pedelec works and make a test ride
in a safe area away from traffic to familiarise yourself
with the function of your e-bike before heading into
more busy and trafficked areas.
DANGER!
Note that a pedelec moves immediately
when you put your foot on the pedal
and it starts to move. Always first pull
the brake and then get on the e-bike.
Otherwise an unexpected move can lead
to hazards an injury.
Electrical system
• Make sure you are familiar with the functions
of the motor and have download, installed and
correctly set up the app with which you control
the motor settings.
• Familiarise yourself with all app control functions.
• Make sure the battery is charged for your ride and
properly connected with the motor.
