The following user groups should not use the Pedelec:

 

»

Persons with a limited physical, sensory or mental capacity. 

 

»

Persons who due to their body size, cannot safely drive the bicycle. 

Any changes to your 

Lil’Buddy

 increasing the motor output or max-

imum support speed, will endanger your driving safety and con-
vert the vehicle from a Pedelec into a small motorcycle. You will be 
exposed to sanctions in accordance with traffic, licence and safety 
regulation with penal consequences!

Rotating parts such as wheels, chain ring, sprocket, pedal crank or 
pedals may draw into clothing, carried objects and even body parts, 
e.g. your shawl or a bag attached to the handlebar may get caught 
into the spokes during driving. When you slip your feet from the 
pedals, they can get caught into the spokes. This may lead to severe 
accidents! 
-> Always wear tight-fitting clothes.
-> Wear shoes with non-slip, flat soles.
-> Do not attach objects onto the handlebar, as they may swing into 
the front wheel.

A Pedelec always accelerates faster than a bicycle. Be always aware 
that other traffic participants cannot always predict your acceleration 
performance.
-> Exercise your new 

Lil’Buddy

 first at a quiet location, before riding 

in the busy streets. 
-> Exercise the brakes. Please see also chapter 4.3. „Brake system“.
