Safety instructions
3.1
General information
When using the product, make sure you follow the instructions in the user manual correctly.
Make sure you read the chapters
'before first ride'
and
'before every ride'
in the general user
manual before using the e-bike for the first time.
If you lend your e-bike to a third party, give them this user manual along with the e-bike.
After you have read the user manual, keep it in a safe place for future reference.
3.2 For your safety
Always apply the e-bike's brakes before putting your foot on the pedal. The bike runs forward
as soon as you push the pedal down. This force may be unfamiliar, you may fall, and cause
dangerous situations or traffic accidents that may result in injury.
Do not pay too much attention to the display when cycling, otherwise you may cause an accident.
If you are going to ride the e-bike, make sure you are fully familiar with the starting characteristics of
the e-bike before riding. If the e-bike suddenly moves forward, accidents can happen.
No modifications should be made to the e-bike or engine that will increase the speed
or performance of the e-bike. Also the use of a boost set or adjusting the gearing is not
permitted.
3.3 Boosting the e-bike is not permitted
Do not modify the technology of the e-bike in any way. Treating the e-bike in any way to
increase performance or speed may lead to legal problems and/or make the e-bike less
safe to ride.
Potential legal implications:
■
The law requires the e-bike to be registered for approval and insured.
■
All legal requirements regarding the setting of the e-bike, and as determined by the traffic
police inspection department, must be met.
■
The manufacturer does not provide any guarantee, warranty or liability.
■
Criminal consequences cannot be excluded. For example, unintentional bodily injury may
result in a criminal offence.
■
Termination of bicycle insurance.
Possible technological implications:
■
Tampering with the e-bike's technology can reduce its capacity, cause malfunctions or
break bike parts.
■
The engine and battery can be overloaded and extremely overheated. Consequences:
Irreparable damage and fire hazard.
■
The brakes and other components may be overloaded. Consequences: Poor
performance, overheating, increase in wear.
