2. Are you familiar with the brake system
(b+c)
? Have a look at the SCOTT bike
card and check whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side you
are used to (right or left). If it is not, ask your SCOTT dealer to switch the
brake levers before you set off for the first time.
Your new bike is equipped with modern brakes which may be far more pow-
erful than those you were used to so far. Be sure to first practise using the
brakes on a level, non-slip surface off public roads! Slowly approach higher
brake performances and speeds.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
3. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears
(d)
? Ask your
SCOTT dealer to explain you the gear system and make yourself familiar with
your new gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
For more information see the chapter “Gears” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to
a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with
your heel. The hips should remain horizontal. Check whether your toes reach
to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle
(e)
(exception: full suspension
SCOTT bikes). Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not
happy with your seating position.
For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider”.
5. If your SCOTT bike is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals
(f)
: Have you
ever tried cycling with the respective cycling shoes? First practise locking
one shoe onto a pedal and disengaging it while standing on the other leg.
Ask your SCOTT dealer to explain you the pedals and to adjust them to your
needs.
For more information see the chapter “Pedals and shoes” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
NOTE!
U
It is essential to also observe the system instructions of your drive manu-
facturer as well as the manuals of the component manufacturers on this
SCOTT info CD.

For more information about the intended use of your SCOTT pedelec or
SCOTT speed pedelec as well as the permitted overall weight (rider, SCOTT

You find information on the question whether the use of trailers, pannier
racks and child carriers is permitted on your SCOTT pedelec or not in the
SCOTT bike card and in the chapter “Intended use of your SCOTT bike”.
NOTE!
U
Keep the translation of these original SCOTT operating instructions for fu-
ture reference and hand it over to the respective user, in case you sell, lend
or pass on your SCOTT pedelec or SCOTT speed pedelec otherwise.
TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
1. If you want to use your bike on public roads, it has to comply with legal
requirements. These requirements may vary in each country. The fittings of
your SCOTT bike are, therefore, not necessarily complete
(a)
.
Ask your SCOTT dealer concerning the laws and regulations applicable in
your country or in the country you intend to use your SCOTT bike. Have your
SCOTT bike equipped accordingly before using it on public roads.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on pub-
lic roads“.
