8.6 Transport
When shipping the bike it is recommended to commission a ROTWILD authorised
retailer with the proper partial disassembly and packaging of the bike.
It is recommended to transport the bike inside the vehicle.
A suitable bike carrier should be used when transporting the bike by car. The re-
movable display should be removed from its holder and transported inside the ve-
hicle. Additional accessories, such as water bottles, should also be removed from
the bike and transported inside the vehicle.
Carrier systems where the bike is secured from underneath with the handlebars
and saddle are not permitted as they place too much stress on the components.
When using a bike carrier for transport ensure that the down tube is not fixed in
place using clamping jaws or similar as this can lead to damage to the inside of
the drive battery.
The display and accessories (e.g. water bottles) should be removed for transport
and transported in a separate dry area protected from direct sunlight.
It is recommended to protect the electrical components and connections on the
bike from the weather with suitable protective covers.
The statutory provisions regarding transporting bikes and the in-
structions of carrier manufacturers shall be observed.
