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. Consumers are legally required to
return all used batteries of any type. It is forbidden
to dispose of batteries in domestic waste.
The battery manufacturer is legally obliged to take
back used and old batteries free of charge
according to Section 9 German Batteries Act. The
pedelec frame, battery, motor, on-board computer
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, battery or
charger for disposal.
The pedelec, on-board computer, the unopened
and undamaged battery and the charger can be
returned to any specialist dealer free of charge.
Further disposal options may be available,
depending on the region.
 Store the individual parts of the
decommissioned pedelec in a dry place, free
from frost, where they are protected from direct
sunlight.
