Have the police code your pedelec; the address and initials
of the owner are engraved on the frame in an encrypted
form. Coding makes the illegal resale of a bike more difficult
and deters thieves. A coded bike also makes it easier to
identify the owner.
Bicycle theft is often covered by household contents
insurance. Check the terms of your insurance policy as soon
as possible.

Before your first ride
Make sure that your pedelec is adjusted to your height and ready to use.
Familiarise yourself with the basic functions of your pedelec.
DANGER
Ask your cycle dealer to show you how to use, and explain, the special
features of the pedelec and its components. Please also follow the
component guides. We recommend having your cycle dealer perform
all assembly and adjustment work. Otherwise, components could
become loose due to a faulty assembly. If this happens whilst you are
cycling, you could injure yourself very seriously or even die. If you do
have to tighten something yourself, a full list of torque settings is in
Section

(strict adherence to which is
a requirement).
DANGER
Adjusting the pedelec to your height. If the bike is not correctly
adjusted to your height, you can lose control of the bike and fall
badly.
Practise braking and riding with the assist function in a safe place
before venturing into traffic. If you do not familiarise yourself with the
operation and higher speed of your pedelec, you could cause a serious
accident. Ride in ECO mode until you feel confident enough to try the
higher modes

. Dismount if you
ever feel unsafe.
IMPORTANT
Do not turn the bike upside down. This may damage the display or
gear lever.
