No age restriction applies for a Pedelec.
›
The regulations governing the use of cycle paths
are the same as for normal bikes.
These regulations apply to you wherever you are in
the European Union. It is possible that different regu-
lations exist in other countries, also inside the EU in
individual cases. Before using your Pedelec abroad,
find out about the applicable legislation in the rel-
evant country.
1.3 Battery
›
Never attempt to repair your battery. Specialists
are responsible for performing such repairs. If
your battery is damaged, contact your specialist
cycle shop. The specialists here will discuss the
next steps with you.
›
Never transport damaged batteries. The safety
of damaged batteries cannot be guaranteed.
Scratches and small chips in the housing do not
constitute serious damage.
›
Have the battery checked at a specialist cycle
shop if you have fallen off your Pedelec. You
must also consult your specialist cycle shop
if the battery has fallen or fallen off. Damaged
batteries must neither be charged nor used for
another application.
›
During the charging process, the battery
and charger must be placed on an even,
non-flammable surface. Battery and charger
must not be covered. There must be no highly
combustible materials in the immediate vicin-
ity. This also applies when charging the battery
on the Pedelec. In this case, you must place the
Pedelec so as to prevent any fire from spreading
quickly (exercise caution with carpeted floors!).
›
Lithium reacts very strongly upon direct contact
with water. Caution is therefore required in the
case of damaged batteries which have become
wet: They may catch fire.
›
Water should be used to extinguish any flames in
the immediate vicinity, but not the battery itself.
Extinguishers with metal fire powder (Class D)
are better suited to this task. If the battery can
be safely moved outdoors, the fire can also be
suffocated using sand.
›
The battery may heat up during charging. A
maximum temperature of 45°C may be reached.
If the battery becomes any warmer than this,
suspend the charging process immediately.
›
The Pedelec operates using extra-low voltage
(36 volts). Never attempt to operate the Pedelec
using power from a source other than a suitable
genuine battery. The designations of approved
batteries are listed in
. Only use the original charger provided!
›
When removing the battery from your Pedelec,
ensure that it does not fall out. This may cause
irreparable damage to the battery housing.
1.4 Motor
›
Bear in mind that the motor can heat up on long
ascents. Be careful not to touch it with your
hands, feet or legs. You could burn yourself.
›
Live parts may be exposed when you open covers
or remove parts. Connection points may also be
live. Maintenance or repairs on the motor when
it is open must only be carried out by a profes-
sional bike workshop.
