Avoid serious injuries caused by damaged components
When riding off-road or over kerbs, the electric motor, cranks or bottom bracket may touch the
ground and be damaged. This can lead to serious injuries.
-
Use the bike only on the approved surfaces.
-
If you encounter obstacles, dismount and lift the bike over the obstacle.
-
In the event of damage, have the bike inspected by a dealer.
Avoid serious injuries or death in wet weather
C A U T I O N
Wet and/or slippery roads and paths influence the road grip and
braking behaviour!
Wet weather affects road grip, braking behaviour and visibility for both cyclists and all other road us-
ers. In wet weather, the stopping power of your brakes (as well as the brakes of all other road users)
is significantly reduced. In addition, the tread pattern does not grip nearly as well as on dry roads.
This makes speed control more difficult and increases the risk of losing control over the bike. This
may cause serious injuries or even death.
-
Always ride slowly in wet weather.
-
Always brake carefully and with foresight in wet weather.
-
Switch off the electric motor or ride carefully with minimum motor assistance.
Avoid serious injuries or death in twilight or at night
N O T E
We generally recommend riding with your lights on even during
the day.
Riding with lights is crucial
in twilight or at night!
Riding in twilight or at night is more dangerous than during the day. A cyclist is very difficult to recog-
nise for other road users and this can result in serious injuries or even death.
-
Avoid riding in twilight or at night, if possible.
-
Always ride slowly.
-
Always ride with bike lights and reflectors.
-
Always avoid dark areas and areas with heavy or fast traffic.
-
Always avoid road obstacles.
-
Ride on familiar routes, if possible.
