Austria/Germany and all countries
subject to EU law use partially stan-
dardized conditions regarding war-
ranty/liability for material defects. Please
inform yourself about the applicable national
regulations in your specific country.
Under EU law, the seller accepts liability for ma-
terial defects for at least two years after the date
of sale. This only covers defects which already
existed at the time of sale/change of ownership.
In fact, if material defects occur within the first
six months, the assumption is made that these
already existed at the time of sale.
One precondition for the seller assuming this
liability is that the product’s use and maintenance
was in line with all conditions stipulated. These
are outlined in the pages of this operating manual
and in the supplied instructions from the compo-
nent manufacturers.
In most cases, the customer can first request
subsequent fulfillment (repair or replacement).
If subsequent fulfillment fails conclusively,
which is the assumption after two attempts, the
customer is entitled to abatement or cancellation
of the contract.
The liability for material defaults does not cov-
er normal wear of the frame during with appropri-
ate use. Components of the drive and the braking
facilities as well as tyres, lights and contact areas
between the rider and the bicycle are subject to
wear due to use. Pedelecs and e-bikes are also
subject to battery wear.
Additional guarantees that might be provided
by the manufacturer of your bicycle or Pedelec/e-
bike are listed on page C7 on the cover. Details
of the conditions, extent and possible use of such
a guarantee are specified in the respective guar-
antee conditions.
In the case of a defect/possible lia-
bility claim, please contact your spe-
cialist retailer. We recommend filing
all purchase receipts and inspection reports
as proof for your records

old chain lubricant in an appropriate manner at a
suitable disposal point.

like general servicing and cleaning agents.
