USEFUL FACTS ABOUT THE SCOTT BIKE
HELMETS AND GLASSES
Cycling helmets
(f)
are absolutely recommendable. Your SCOTT dealer has a
variety of styles and sizes.
Make sure the helmet complies with the test standard EN 1078 or the like (de-
pending on the country where you use it). Cycling helmets are only approved
for use during cycling. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
DANGER!
G
Never ride without a helmet and glasses! But remember that even the
safest helmet is useless unless it fits properly and is correctly adjusted and
fastened.
In addition to a cycling helmet and suitable clothing, cycling glasses are abso-
lutely essential when you are riding your SCOTT bike. They do not only protect
your eyes from the sun and the wind, but also keep out flies and other impurities
that may impede your vision when they fly into your eyes. Being temporarily
without sight may result in an accident or fall!
Good cycling glasses should fit tightly on your face not allowing any wind to af-
fect your eyes. Cycling glasses come in a wide range of models, such as glasses
with clear lenses and without UV protection for cycling in the dawn and at night
or glasses with maximum UV protection for cycling under extreme sunlight.
Your SCOTT dealer has a wide range of cycling glasses available and will be
pleased to advise you.
HUB DYNAMO
Hub dynamos
(a)
are built into the hub of the front wheel. They are virtually
non-wearing and extremely effective. Some models are switched on electroni-
cally, some others mechanically. Hub dynamos are either switched on by a lever
at the handlebars or directly at the front lamp
(b)
. Other models offer the com-
fort of being switched on and off automatically by means of a sensor.
SPECIAL CASE – PEDELECS
In some countries it is allowed for SCOTT pedelecs to feed the lighting from the
battery
(c)
. Even if the motor no longer works, because the battery is empty, the
residual current will do for the lighting. Without battery, however, you must not
ride.
BATTERY-OPERATED OR RECHARGEABLE-BATTERY-OPERATED
LIGHTING
The regulations on the use of battery or rechargeable battery-operated front
lamps
(d)
and rear lights are different in each country. Familiarize yourself with
the relevant country-specific regulations and comply with the road traffic regu-
lations in your country
(e)
.
Ask your SCOTT dealer for suitable battery-operated or rechargeable-bat-
tery-operated lightings.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on public
roads“.
DANGER!
G
An incomplete or inoperative lighting set is not only against the law, it is
also a hazard to your life. Cyclists riding in the dark without a light are liable
to be overlooked and at risk of getting involved in serious accidents!
CAUTION!
A
Rechargeable battery-operated lights do not have a memory effect. Charge
the rechargeable batteries of the lights at regular intervals, e.g. after every
long ride.
