V.II
Pedelec weight
For safety reasons we recommend you weigh your pedelec
because the weight can vary due to various equipment
characteristics, accessories and frame heights, otherwise
you risk fracturing the frame. This can lead to severe falls
that could result in death or serious injury.
V.III
The maximum permissible total weight
WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum permissible total weight of the pedelec,
because it can lead to the fracture or failure of safety-relevant parts
(such as the brakes). If this happens while you are riding the bike, it
can lead to severe falls – with fatal consequences.
Total weight = Weight of the bike + weight of the rider + weight of the
trailer bike or t weight of luggage and/or child.
Example calculation:
244 lbs total weight = 46 lbs weight of the bike + 165 lbs weight of
the rider + 22 lbs weight of the t 11 lbs weight of the luggage.
244 lbs is below the allowed total weight of 265 lbs and is therefore
permissible.
