1.7 Transportation of the Pedelec
For the transportation of your Pedelec, we recom-
mend removing the battery from the Pedelec and
packaging it separately. A suitable transport con-
tainer can be obtained from your specialist cycle
shop.
1.7.1 The Pedelec and your car
If you transport your Pedelec on a bike rack, ensure that it
is designed for the higher weight of a Pedelec. In order to
relieve the load on the rack and protect the battery from
climatic conditions, it must be transported inside the car.
1.7.2 The Pedelec on trains
In Germany, you can take your Pedelec with you on trains
which are marked with the bike symbol. To do so on
German Intercity (IC) and EuroCity (EC) trains, you must
book a place for your bike in advance. As a rule, you may
not take bikes with you on German Intercity Express (ICE)
trains.
1.7.3 The Pedelec on aeroplanes
Your Pedelec is generally subject to the policies of the
respective airline concerning bikes. Batteries are subject
to dangerous goods legislation. Therefore, they must not
be carried on passenger planes – neither in the cargo
hold, nor the cabin. Please contact the relevant airline for
detailed information.
1.5 Motor
If children are present, keep a close eye on them,
especially if there is a possibility they could insert
objects into the motor through apertures in the
housing. This poses the danger of fatal electric
shock.
Bear in mind that the motor can heat up on long
ascents. Be careful not to touch it with your hands,
feet or legs. You could burn yourself.
Live parts may be exposed when you open covers
or remove parts. Connection points may also be
live. Maintenance or repairs on the motor when it
is open must only be carried out by a professional
bike workshop.
1.6 Adjustments/maintenance/repair
When carrying out adjustments and maintenance
or when cleaning, avoid crushing cables or damag-
ing them with sharp edges.
Please have all installation and adjustment work
carried out by your specialist cycle shop. In case
you have to fasten something in place or change
something yourself, you will find an exhaustive list
at the end of the
“Original User Manual | General”
(CD) detailing the tightening torques which must
always be adhered to.
