Safe bike ride
•
Only use the bike if you are healthy and in good shape.
•
Do not use the bike if you are affected by alcohol, drugs or medication.
•
The bike should be adjusted according to your weight.
•
Practice cycling, braking, shifting gears and turning safely before riding in
tight traffic.
•
Wear gloves in cold weather to always be able to hold the handle with
both hands and use force when braking.
•
Always keep your bags secured on the rear bike rack.
•
Do not hang bags on the handlebar. Risk of serious accidents.
•
Be aware of the effect of heavy bags: use proper bicycle bags that ensure
the bike's balance.
•
Bicycles have a longer braking distance than cars, so be sure to respect
the safety distance.
•
The braking distance increases on damp, wet or dirty surfaces.
•
Ride with caution - electric bikes do not accelerate fast!
•
Do not make any sudden movements while starting the bike, otherwise
you risk falling.
•
Practice a quick start before a climb to avoid riding too slowly and thus
risking crashing the bike.
Transportation
•
When transporting the bike, it must be fixed horizontally on a suitable
roof mounted bicycle rack on the car to avoid unnecessary strains on the
handlebar and other parts.
•
Remove all accessories such as displays, bottles, pumps etc., otherwise
these can loosen during transport.
•
When the bicycle is transported at high speed and in rain, water will
penetrate the bearings and into cables which cause damages.
•
Make sure the rear derailleur/gear is upwards to avoid damage if the
eBike is transported horizontally in a vehicle.
•
Read and perform the safety checklist before any kind of transport.
