Translation of the original operating instructions
Danger
Please note that in wet conditions the brake
performance is less effective and the tyre grip
reduced. Look well ahead when riding on wet
roads and on loose ground and ride clearly
slower than you would in dry conditions.
Danger
A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or
too much spring tension in the mechanism
[a]
can lead to a very firm connection, from which
you cannot quickly step out. Risk of falling!
Danger
The weight distribution on your Velo de Ville
EPAC differs markedly from the weight distri-
bution on Velo de Ville bikes without drive as-
sistance. A Velo de Ville EPAC is clearly heavier
than a Velo de Ville bike without drive assis-
tance. For this reason parking, pushing, lifting
and carrying your Velo de Ville EPAC is more
difficult. Bear this also in mind during loading
and unloading it or when mounting it on a bi-
cycle carrier system
[b]
.
Caution
Note that not all Velo de Ville EPACs are
equipped with a kickstand
[c]
. Therefore,
when parking your Velo de Ville EPAC, make
sure it stands safe and secure and is not at risk
of toppling over or being knocked over. If your
Velo de Ville EPAC topples over, it can suffer
from damage.
Notice
You find more information on the approv-
al of using trailers and child seats on your
Velo de Ville EPAC in the bike card
or contact
your Velo de Ville dealer.
Notice
Check with your insurers that the EPAC as well
as the storekeeping and the charging of lith-
ium-ion batteries are covered by your house-
hold and fire insurance. Read the daily press to
keep yourself informed about current legisla-
tive changes.
