Warnings and Safety
□additional information on wear
Components of the e-bike are subject to higher wear when compared to bikes without power assistance. This is because the e-bike can travel at higher
average speeds than regular cycles and has a greater weight. Higher wear is not a defect in the product and is not subject to warranty. Typical
components affected are the tyres, brake pads and rotors, suspension forks, spokes, wheels, and the battery.
When the useful life of a component is surpassed it can cause unexpected loss of function, which can result in serious injuries or even death.
Therefore, pay attention to wear characteristics such as cracks, scratches, or changes in the colour or operation of components, which could
indicate useful life has been exceeded. Worn components should be replaced immediately. If you are unfamiliar with regular maintenance, a
certified, reputable bike mechanic should be consulted.
