If your bike sustains an impact
1. First, check yourself for injuries, and take care of them as best you can.
Seek medical help if necessary.
2. Next, check your bike for damage.
WARNING
After any crash, take your bike to your dealer for a thorough check.
A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress on bike compo-
nents, causing them to fatigue prematurely. Components suffering
from stress fatigue can fail suddenly and catastrophically, causing
loss of control, serious injury or death. Carbon composite compo-
nents, including fames, wheels, handlebars, stems, cranksets, brakes,
etc. which have sustained an impact must not be ridden until they
have been disassembled and thoroughly inspected by a qualified
mechanic.
Inspect your pedelec before every trip, and after each time it has been
transported anywhere or has been left unattended. Use the following
checklist to help you.
