By train / by public transport
Velo de Ville EPACs
[d]
can be transported like con-
ventional bicycles by public transport.
Taking bicycles or EPACs with you by public trans-
port is permitted, the regulations applicable in
the cities may differ, however. There are e.g. some
places where you are only allowed to travel with
your Velo de Ville EPAC during off-peak hours and
with an additional ticket. Inform yourself in time
about the regulations of transport before you start
the trip!
In some countries regional trains have special
spaces for the storage of EPACs and other things.
This is an option to take your Velo de Ville EPAC
with you. They are often at the front or end of a
train and marked with a bicycle sign.
When taking a high-speed train check whether
you can take your EPAC or bicycle with you.
Notice
If the rechargeable battery of your EPAC is
mounted to the down tube
[e]
or to the pan-
nier rack, you can remove the battery for an
easier boarding and disembarking
[f]
.
Notice
Before you start your trip inform yourself in
time about the conditions of carriage and also
observe the regulations and rules about bicy-
cle transport in the countries through which
you intend to travel.
By plane
If you intend to take your Velo de Ville EPAC by
plane or to dispatch it by a forwarding agent, you
have to observe particular packing and labelling
requirements for rechargeable batteries which are
considered as hazardous goods. Contact the air-
line, an expert for hazardous items or the forward-
ing agent in time.
Notice
Contact the airline with which you intend
to travel in time and inform yourself about
conditions and possibilities of taking your
Velo de Ville EPAC with you.
