CAUTION!

Make sure to remove all movable and loose parts and above all the re-
chargeable battery, if possible, the control element
(d)
and the cycle
computer on the handlebars before transporting the pedelec inside or outside
the car. If you transport your SCOTT pedelec without its battery on a bike carrier
system, protect the connections against water, moisture and dirt, for example,
with a plastic bag
(e)
.
NOTE!
U
If necessary, inform yourself about the laws and regulations concerning
bike/pedelec transport in the countries that you intend to transit during
your journey. The laws and regulations differ, e.g. with regard to the marking.
NOTE!

For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufactur-
er on this SCOTT info CD.
By train / By public transport

tube or to the pannier rack, you can remove the battery for an easier board-
ing and disembarking
(f)
.
NOTE!

Observe that every train traveller is normally allowed to take only one
pedelec with him.
NOTE!

Before you start your trip, inform yourself in time about the conditions of
carriage and also observe the regulations and rules about bike and pedelec
transport in the countries through which you intend to travel.
WHAT TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN TRANSPORTING YOUR SCOTT
PEDELEC
By car
SCOTT pedelecs can be transported like conventional SCOTT bikes outside or
inside the car
(a)
. Always make sure the SCOTT pedelec is securely fastened
outside or inside the car and check the fastenings regularly. In addition, you
should always remove the battery from your SCOTT pedelec
(b)
before fas-
tening your SCOTT pedelec outside the car. Stow the battery in its original
cardboard box
(c)
and, if mounted, a removable display unit, inside the car and
secure it appropriately to avoid any damage during transport. The rechargeable
battery should be tightened with straps. Hazardous goods!
Protect the connections of the rechargeable battery against rain, wetness, mois-
ture and dirt during the journey, for example, with a plastic bag.
CAUTION!
S
The weight distribution on pedelecs differs markedly from the weight distri-
bution on bicycles without drive assistance. A pedelec is markedly heavier
than a bicycle without drive assistance. For this reason parking, pushing, lifting
and carrying the SCOTT pedelec is more difficult. Bear this in mind when load-
ing your pedelec into a car and unloading it or when mounting it on a bicycle
carrier system.
CAUTION!
S
Before transporting several pedelecs with a roof mounting or a rear mount-
ing carrier system, inform yourself about the maximum load capacity of
the bike carrier and the maximum load of the trailer hitch. Keep in mind that the
weight of a pedelec is higher than the weight of a bicycle without drive. Maybe
you can only transport one or two pedelecs instead of three bicycles without
drive.
