Original User Manual | Xion Pedelec
1.5 Adjustments/maintenance/repair
›
When carrying out adjustments and maintenance
or when cleaning, avoid crushing cables or dam-
aging them with sharp edges.
›
Please have all installation and adjustment work
carried out by your specialist cycle shop. In case
you have to fasten something in place or change
something yourself, you will find an exhaustive
list at the end of the General User Manual (CD)
detailing the tightening torques which must al-
ways be adhered to.
1.6 Transportation of the Pedelec
›
For the transportation of your Pedelec, we
recommend removing the battery from the
Pedelec and packaging it separately. A suitable
transport container can be obtained from your
specialist cycle shop.
›
Cover the contact socket in the battery holder of
your Pedelec with the round socket cover. In this
way, no dirt can enter the contact socket.
1.6.1 The Pedelec and your car
If you transport your Pedelec on a bike rack, ensure that it
is designed for the higher weight of a Pedelec. In order to
relieve the load on the rack and protect the battery from
climatic conditions, it must be transported inside the car.
1.6.2 The Pedelec on trains
In Germany, you can take your Pedelec with you on trains
which are marked with the bike symbol. To do so on
German Intercity (IC) and EuroCity (EC) trains, you must
book a place for your bike in advance. As a rule, you may
not take bikes with you on German Intercity Express (ICE)
trains.
1.6.3 The Pedelec on aeroplanes
Your Pedelec is generally subject to the policies of the
respective airline concerning bikes. Batteries are subject
to dangerous goods legislation. Therefore, they must not
be carried on passenger planes – neither in the cargo
hold, nor the cabin. Please contact the relevant airline for
detailed information.
