DANGER!

In case you had a crash with your SCOTT bike, perform at least the check
described in the chapters “Tests before every ride“ and “Tests after an
accident“. Only ride back very carefully on your SCOTT bike, if it passed the
tests without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not ride
your bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt, have yourself picked up by car,
instead of taking any risk. Back home you need to check your SCOTT bike thor-
oughly once again. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer!
CAUTION!

Before towing a trailer

We recommend that you take out a private liability insurance. Make sure
that coverage for bicycle damage is provided by your insurance. Contact
your insurance company or agency.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION “TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE”
WITH YOUR SCOTT PEDELEC
1. Have you ever ridden a pedelec? Note the particular riding characteristics of
this revolutionary hybrid drive concept. Set off for your first ride by selecting
the lowest level of drive assistance
(f)
! Slowly approach the potential of your
SCOTT pedelec in an area free of traffic.
For more information see the chapters “Riding a SCOTT pedelec” or “Useful
facts for riding a SCOTT speed pedelec“ and the system instructions of your
drive manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
6. If you purchased a SCOTT bike with suspension
(a+b)
, you should ask your
SCOTT dealer to adjust the suspension settings to your needs. Improperly
adjusted suspension elements are liable to malfunction or damage. In any
case they will impair the performance of your bike as well as your safety and
joy whilst riding.
For more information see the chapters “Front suspension” and “Suspension
seat posts” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT
info CD.
DANGER!
G
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your pedelec increases, when
you are riding with your hands on bar ends or on multi-position handlebars.
The brake levers are not always within easy reach.
DANGER!
G
Be sure to use your SCOTT bike only for its intended purpose, as it may
otherwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the
top tube
(c)
so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your
bicycle quickly.
DANGER!
G
Note that both braking effect and tyre grip can be reduced drastically in
wet conditions. Look well ahead when riding on wet roads and go well be-
low the speed you would ride at in dry conditions.
DANGER!
G
A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much spring tension in
the mechanism can lead to a very firm connection, from which you cannot
quickly step out! Risk of falling!
