Safety
6 Proper use
Neither the manufacturer nor the specialist dealer will accept liability
for damage which occurs due to improper use. Use your e-bike only as
described in these instructions. Any other use is considered improper
and may lead to accidents, serious injury or damage to the e-bike and its
components.
Improper use of the e-bike will void the warranty.
Fundamentally, the following applies:
• Your e-bike is designed for one cyclist.
• The sitting position on the e-bike must be correctly adjusted according
to the cyclist's height.
• The maximum permissible total weight for your e-bike must not be
exceeded.
• For the intended use of the e-bike in road traffic, country-specific and
regional regulations must be observed.
• Your e-bike is approved for the use of a child seat and/or trailer (child,
load, dog trailer, etc.) if so noted in the bicycle passport.
• The e-bike may only be operated according to the areas of application
of the corresponding vehicle category
⇨ chap. 7 “Vehicle category” on
page 118.
Possible examples of improper use are as follows:
• Manipulating or modificating the e-drive of an e-bike.
• Use of an unsuitable e-bike with a child seat and/or a vehicle trailer.
7 Vehicle category
All Schindelhauer e-bikes were developed for category 2 areas of
application.
The frame and attachment parts were designed and selected for these
areas of application and the loads to be expected there.
If you operate your e-bike in a higher category than category 2, the loads
to which the e-bike is exposed during operation also increase, resulting in
the shortening of the service life of all components and, in extreme cases,
the failure of important components and therefore an increased risk of
accidents and injuries.
The categorisation corresponds to the classification of
many manufacturers based on international standard
ASTM F2043-13. If you have specific questions about your
model, please contact the manufacturer's Customer Service
department.
E-Bikes of category 2 are designed for:
• Use on tarred or paved roads and paths
• Use on gravel and dirt roads with moderate gradient
• Jumps from a height of max. 15 cm. The tyres can temporarily lose
contact with the ground.
8 Misuse
Misuse of the e-bike can lead to the warranty becoming
void.
In order to use your e-bike safely, avoid the following instances of misuse:
• Use of the e-bike for competitions, jumps, stunts or tricks if the vehicle
category excludes such use;
• Improper repairs and maintenance;
• Improper cleaning and care;
• Improper use of the rechargeable battery;
• Structural changes to the e-bike as delivered, especially to the tuning,
and any other modifications to the e-bike;
• Opening and changing of any components on the e-bike;
• Charging outside the temperature range specified by the manufacturer;
• Deep discharge of the battery due to long pauses in charging or improper
storage of the battery outside the optimum storage temperature
specified by the manufacturer.
• Ambient temperatures below +10 °C and above +40 °C may reduce the
range.
• In the long run, especially high and especially low ambient temperatures
can accelerate the wear of the battery or even damage the battery.
9 Residual risks
Unavoidably, certain residual risks will remain when using the e-bike –
despite a well-calculated design by the manufacturer and compliance with
the specifications for proper use by the user.
You yourself can reduce, but not completely eliminate, these residual risks
by observing all safety notices and warnings. It is therefore important that
you are aware of the existence of residual risks when using the e-bike.
The unpredictable residual risks when using the e-bike described here may
include:
Risk of injury
• Unpredictable cycling manoeuvres and/or misconduct of other road
users;
• Surprising or sudden changes in road characteristics such as black ice;
• Unexpected material defects or signs of wear that can lead to compo-
nents of the e-bike breaking or being impaired in their function.
Fire hazard
• Internal, invisible damage can cause the battery to catch fire and ignite
objects in the vicinity.
Risk of damage
• A burning battery will produce hydrofluoric acid and smoke gas. Hydro-
fluoric acid is extremely corrosive and permanently damages surfaces.
