The regulations governing the use of cycle paths
are the same as for normal bikes.
These regulations apply to you wherever you are
in the European Union. It is possible that different
regulations exist in other countries, also inside
the EU in individual cases. Before using your Pe-
delec abroad, find out about the applicable legis-
lation in the relevant country.
It is generally permitted for children to be carried
in bike trailers on Pedelecs. Observe the maximum
permitted gross weight of the bike

an exception. Bike trailers may not be used on this
bike.
1.3 Battery
The battery contains chemical substances, which
could cause dangerous reactions if the safety
information given here is not adhered to.
Avoid contact with liquid leaking from a damaged
battery. In case of contact, rinse off the liquid with
water. In case of eye contact, consult a doctor
after rinsing.
Never attempt to repair your battery. Batteries
must not be dismantled, opened or crushed. The
improper opening or destruction of the battery
poses the risk of serious injury. Opening the bat-
tery voids the warranty claim. If your battery is
damaged, contact your specialist cycle shop. The
specialists here will discuss the next steps with
you.
A battery must not be exposed to heat (e.g. heat-
er) or fire. External heat can cause the battery to
explode. In addition, high temperatures shorten
battery service life. When charging, always ensure
there is adequate ventilation.
A battery must not be short-circuited. Batteries
must not be stored unsafely in a box or compart-
ment where they can short-circuit one another
or can be short-circuited by other conductive
materials (paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws).
A short circuit between the battery contacts can
cause burns or fire. Short-circuit damage which
emerges in this context voids all guarantee claims.
Batteries must not be exposed to mechanical
shocks. Even if a battery shows no visible signs
of damage after falling or being knocked, it may
be damaged. For this reason, even batteries that
seem fine must be taken to a specialist dealer for
inspection. Damaged batteries must neither be
charged nor used for another application.
Keep the battery away from children.
Use the battery solely for your Pedelec.
Ideally, take the battery out of your Pedelec when
not in use.
Batteries not designed for use in the Pedelec must
not be used.
Never transport damaged batteries. The safety of
damaged batteries cannot be guaranteed.
Lithium reacts very strongly upon direct contact
with water. Never put the battery into water. Cau-
tion is therefore also required in the case of dam-
aged batteries which have become wet: They may
catch fire.
In case of fire, water should be used to extinguish
any flames in the immediate vicinity, but not the
battery itself. Fire extinguishers with metal fire
powder (Class D) are better suited to this task. If
the battery can be safely moved outdoors, the fire
can also be suffocated using sand.
