WARNING
Never ride the bike 'no hands'. You could fall off and seriously injure
or even kill yourself – and also be liable for prosecution.
You must
always have at least one hand on the handlebars.
Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle. It can lead to
accidents and serious injuries.
Like all bikes, the pedelec must comply with all applicable federal,
state and local traffic regulations and applicable standards. If you
make technical modifications to the bike, take into account the
respective national road traffic regulations and applicable standards.
If the cut-off speed and/or the speed of the push assist exceed
the specified values, the pedelec will become liable to mandatory
registration and insurance. Technical modifications can impair the
function of your pedelec, resulting in damage to components. If this
happens while you are riding the bike you could be severely injured
or killed. Furthermore, it will invalidate the manufacturer's liability,
warranty and guarantee (where applicable).
You are sharing the road or the path with others —
motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists. Respect their
rights.
