With WHEELER speed pedelecs you
- may not use cycle paths or lanes within built-up areas
(a)
. The only
exception to this is in cases where the cycle path or lane has been
approved for use by mopeds (this is marked by an additional sign).
- may use cycle paths and lanes outside built-up areas,
- may not ride in the wrong (opposing) direction up one-way roads,
even if ordinary cyclists are permitted to do this,
- may not ride in pedestrian zones, even if ordinary cyclists are per-
mitted to do this,
- may not as a rule use bicycle parking areas,
- may not ride on forest tracks, and
- likewise may not ride in area where motorcycles are prohibited.
In Germany it is not permissible to attach a trailer for young children
(b)
, but by law you are allowed to install and use a child-carrier seat
(c)
if carrying children. Look in the bicycle card and ask your WHEELER
bicycle dealer whether you are permitted to attach a child-carrier seat
to your speed pedelec, and if so, which ones.
In Switzerland it is permissible to transport children in a suitable trailer
for young children, both with pedelecs and speed pedelecs.
Wearing a helmet
(d)
is strongly recommended, but not compulsory.
H
For your own safety, always ride a speed pedelec with the
light switched on, and wear bright clothing as well as a
properly fitting helmet and suitable glasses.
H
Be aware that the brakes of your WHEELER pedelec are al-
ways more effective than the drive. If you face any problems
with your drive (e.g. because it pushes you forward before a
turn), slow down your WHEELER pedelec carefully.
H
Pulling the brake lever of the rear brake stops the motor.
Emergency stop! However, if you have a front-mounted mo-
tor you must operate the front brake very carefully.
USEFUL INFoRMATIoN FoR PRoPER HANDLING oF THE
BATTERY
Remove the rechargeable battery
(e)
if you are not going to use your
pedelec for a longer period of time (e.g. during the winter season).
Store the rechargeable battery in a dry room at temperatures between
5 and 20 degrees Celsius (41 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit). The state of
charge should be 50 to 70 % of the charging capacity. Check the state
of charge, if the rechargeable battery is left unused for more than two
months, and recharge it in between, if necessary.
Clean the battery housing with a dry rag or, if at all, a slightly moist rag.
Do not direct the water jet of a high-pressure cleaner at the recharge-
able battery, as there is a risk of water entry and/or
short-circuit.
For more information on the correct handling of the rechargeable bat-
tery see the chapter
“handling and charging the battery”
in your
BionX system operating instructions.
H
Charge your battery only with the supplied charger
(f+g)
.
Do not use the charger of any other manufacturer, not even
when the connector of the charger matches your recharge-
able battery. The rechargeable battery can heat up, catch
fire or even explode!
H
We recommend that you charge your battery only during
the day and only in dry rooms which have a smoke or a fire
detector; but not in your bedroom. Place the battery during
the charging process on a big, non-inflammable plate made
of ceramics or glass! Unplug the battery once it has been
charged up.
H
Keep the rechargeable battery and the charger away from
moisture and water during the charging process to exclude
any risk of electric shocks and short circuits.
H
Keep the rechargeable battery and the charger out of the
reach of children!
H
Do not use a rechargeable battery or a charger that is de-
fective. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, then
contact your WHEELER bicycle dealer.
