3.1.
Checking the wheels and tyres
Observe the tyre pressure information provided by the manufacturer which is
printed on the tyre wall!
Exceeding the maximum permissible air pressure when pumping up the tyres can
cause the tyre to puncture!
Valves which are not fitted straight can break off while riding. The tyres will rapidly
lose pressure leading to unstable riding response. Risk of accident!
Before each ride, check the valve fittings and adjust where necessary. The valves
must extend beyond the rims at a right angle.
GRACE EASY S-Pedelec: Using different tyres on the S-Pedelec which do not comply
with the type-approved tyres according to ECE-R75 and size 42-622, B20 leads to
the loss of the bike's registration. Different tyres must be added to the registration
document for vehicles of this class.
When wanting to use a different model of tyre than the Continental EcoContact on
your GRACE EASY, also make sure that it has reflective strips on the sides of the
tyres as well. Alternatively, in Germany, you can attach two spoke reflectors per
wheel as per the German Traffic Registration Regulations (StVZO). Pay attention to
the regulations in your country.

the concentricity of the wheels by allowing both wheels to spin freely. Poor
concentricity may be caused by damaged tyres, broken axles or broken spokes.
Explore the origin of any rattling noises and where necessary check the bearings
and screw connections.

Checking the battery fitting
Before each ride, check that the battery lock cylinder is latched into position. If the battery is
not locked into place via the lock, it could dislodge during the ride and fall off.
