NOTE
Special legal regulations apply to the transport
and shipping of lithium-ion batteries and must be
strictly observed.
The shipping of lithium-ion batteries is strictly
regulated. Therefore, take a defective battery
personally to your specialist dealer. Contact your
specialist dealer beforehand.
The legal transport regulations for taking
lithium-ion batteries with you may change annually.
Before starting a journey, enquire in good time
about the applicable regulations with the airline or
shipping company or your tour operator.
Some batteries from R&E Stricker GmbH are
suitable for air travel according to IATA guidelines
(as of 2020). The energy of these batteries is
300 Wh. The latest guidelines can be found on
IATA website. We recommend that you bring the
regulations with you to the airport printed out or
digitally on your smartphone or tablet. Be sure to
contact your airline when planning your trip. Not
every airline follows the IATA guidelines in their
transportation regulations. Also, depending on
the airline, it may be necessary for you to declare
the battery transport when you book your ticket
or before you start your trip. Carrying a battery
without also carrying a handcycle may be denied
by the airline. Check extensively with your airline.
WARNING
As a general rule, defective batteries must not be
taken on a flight.
9.1 Transportation in vehicle
Always transport the handbike only when it is
disconnected. If necessary, detach the attachment
stand from the handbike. Secure all individual parts
against slipping. The batteries can be transported
in any position, as they are leak-proof batteries.
Only use your car for transport, not for storing or
keeping the battery.
Airplane transportation
When transporting your handbike, for example in
the trunk of a car, never place it on the side of the
gear shift. This could damage the gearshift.
NOTE
If you take your handcycle with you on an airplane
trip, we recommend wrapping the handcycle with
packing foil (similar to cling film). Especially the
handlebar and the frame should be well wrapped
and thus protected from scratches in the paint
and damage to mechanical parts. Alternatively,
have the handbike wrapped with stretch film at
the airport.
10 Disposal and recycling
Electrical appliances, batteries, accessories
and packaging should be recycled in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Avoid taping parcel tape to the handcycle, as
adhesive residue is difficult to remove.
Dispose of all other components of your handcycle
according to the regulations of your region at
appropriate collection points or in the household
waste (paper, cardboard, plastic packaging).
