are bicycles with an auxiliary motor that only switches on when you move the
pedals. When you stop pedalling, the motor switches off.
A driving licence is not required for riding a SCOTT pedelec
(d)
, if the motor
assistance switches off automatically at a speed of 25 kmh. You do not need an
operating licence and need not insure the pedelec either.
All regulations that apply to SCOTT bikes, also apply to SCOTT pedelecs, i.e.
using cycle paths is not compulsory. Wearing a helmet is recommended
(e)
, but
not compulsory.
Make sure you do not confuse your SCOTT pedelec with a “SCOTT speed
pedelec” (see “Speed pedelecs”).
Most SCOTT pedelecs are designed for cycling exclusively on lanes and roads
with a smooth surface. Only use trails that are allowed for bicycles. Using SCOTT
trekking pedelecs off-road can result in crashes with unforeseeable conse-
quences! Using SCOTT trekking pedelecs off-road is not permitted. For off-road
use only SCOTT off-road pedelecs are suitable.
Some SCOTT pedelecs have a pushing aid
(f)
which provides assistance during
pushing, even without pedalling, up to a speed of 6 kmh.
Your SCOTT pedelec is designed for a maximum overall weight, including rider,
luggage and SCOTT pedelec. The
permissible overall weight
is
150 kg / 330 lbs
.
The
permissible overall weight
(rider incl. luggage and bicycle) must not ex-
ceed
143 to 150 kg / 315 to 330 lbs
(according to model). Under certain circum-
stances this permissible overall weight can be further limited by the component
manufacturers’ recommendations for use.
DANGER!
g
For SCOTT city, trekking and urban bikes, trailers
(a)
and child carriers
(b)
are not permitted. Note that SCOTT will not assume liability or guarantee
for the use of these trailers and child carriers because of the wide variation in
fixation systems, the technical details of these systems and any associated prob-
lem with these fixation systems.
The use of pannier racks is permitted on SCOTT city, trekking and urban bikes,
if the rear stays and the drop-outs of your SCOTT bike have fastening devices
for pannier racks. In this case mounting a suitable pannier rack is permitted.
Contact your SCOTT dealer before mounting.

whatsoever.
