7 Proper use
This compact bike is designed to be used out-
doors on tarmac and adequately paved roads
that ensure traction and stability of the product
when driving and braking. When used indoors,
there must be enough space for manoeuvring.
Avoid driving in poor weather conditions (e.g.,
storms) since this can lead to incalculable
risks. This product is characterised by the tool-
free removable drive unit and the associated
easier loading.
The maximum permitted load of the product in
its standard design is 100 kg. The heavy-duty
version (only applies to the NJ1 el. compact
bike) and individual customisations can be
designed for a higher load; this is then indicat-
ed on the rating plate. Please ensure that the
load limit indicated on the ratings plate is not
exceeded when transporting objects.
Proper use of the product is a basic require-
ment of safe operation. The product may gen-
erally be used only for applications that are
listed and described in these usage instruc-
tions. This includes storage, transport, mainte-
nance/inspection, and repair, as well as the
safety information in each chapter of these
usage instructions.
Recommended equipment:
Always use the safety pennon or warning flag,
otherwise there is an easy risk of being over-
seen due to the very low sitting position.
