Due to the higher stresses, these MERIDA bikes should
be checked for possible damage after every ride. Full
suspension MERIDA bikes with medium suspension
travel are typical for this category.
Category 5: Dirt and freeride bikes
MERIDA dirt bikes
(g)
are intended for harder use on
secured terrain. There are different types of dirt bikes
which are either designed for tricks and show rides,
jumps and freestyle in special obstacle parks, whereas
others are intended for races.
MERIDA freeride bikes
(h)
are suitable for jumps and
drops in most challenging terrains and in bike parks.
Category 5:
This type of use stands for very chal-
lenging, highly blocked and extremely steep terrains,
which can only be mastered by well-trained riders with
technical skills. Rather high jumps at very high speeds
as well as the intensive use of specific, identified bike
parks or downhill trails are typical for this category. In
the case of these MERIDA bikes it must be considered
that a thorough check for possible damage is carried
out after every ride. Preliminary damage with clearly
inferior further stress can result in failure. A regular re-
placement of safety-relevant components must also
be taken into account. Wearing special protectors is
strongly recommended. Full suspension MERIDA
bikes with long suspension travels are typical for this
category.
G
For your own safety, do not overestimate
your riding skills. Please note that though
looking easy the tricks of a professional are
hazardous to your life and limb. Always protect yourself
with suitable clothing.
G
Trailers attached to the chain and rear stays
are not permitted for MERIDA full-suspension
bikes. Trailers attached to the rear wheel ax-
les are, however, permitted.
A
Due to their design and fittings MERIDA
mountain bikes (cross, cross-country, mara-
thon and tour bikes, enduro and all mountain
bikes, dirt and freeride bikes) are not suitable for being
used on public roads. If you want to use them on public
roads, these bikes must be fitted with the prescribed
equipment. Observe the traffic rules when riding on
public roads. For more information see the chapter “Le-
gal requirements for riding on public roads“.

motor that only switches on when you move
the pedals.
When you stop pedaling, the motor switches off.
A driving license is not required for riding a MERIDA
pedelec, if the motor assistance switches off automat-
ically at a speed of 25 kmh. You do not need an operat-
ing license and need not insure the pedelec either.
