Transporting a Pedelec

By car

You can transport the Pedelec on a suitable car-

rier by car, just like a bicycle.

•  Note that the carrier must be licensed for the 

higher weight of the Pedelec.

•  Remove the battery before transport and han-

dle it separately.

•  Make sure that the contacts are protected 

against shortcuts.

By public transport

The regulations for the transport of bicycles also 

apply here. They are listed in the general part of 

these instructions. For safety reasons take the 

battery of the bike before entering the rain. Put it 

back in when you have left the rain.

By aircraft

The battery packs are subject to the Dangerous 

Goods Legislation requirements. It is not allowed 

to transport a battery in Aircraft.

Liability for material defects and service life

A legally stipulated liability period 

of two years applies to material 

defects. Increased application of 

force resulting from the electrical 

ride leads to higher wear of wear-

ing parts such as brakes and tyres 

compared to a normal bicycle. The reasons for 

this are the higher vehicle weight and the higher 

average speed achieved due to the drive. Higher 

wear is not a material fault and is not covered 

by the warranty. Typical components affected by 

this are:

• Tyres

• Brake pads

• Components of the drive

• Spokes

The battery is subject to ageing and is therefore 

a wearing part. Please note that the riding range 

drops with the age and the extent of use of the 

battery. Consider this when planning trips and 

exchange the battery for a new one as required. 

Replacement batteries are available from your 

specialist dealer.

Batteries for Pedelelecs and electrical bicy-

cles

Batteries for Pedelecs and electrical bicycles 

must be treated as dangerous goods and are 

therefore subject to special marking retirements. 

They must always be disposed of through a spe-

cialist dealer or the manufacturer.

Accus are no waste! For proper disposal ask 

your specialized dealer.

For questions concerning your bicycle please 

always contact your dealer first, only then in 

case the manufacturer of the bicycle.

For contact details please refer to the 

warranty section, back cover or other included 

information of the brand/manufacturer.
