9. TRANSPORTING YOUR BIKE
The Pinarello Nytro can be transported like any regular bicycle on the appropriate vehicle bike
carriers, or inside the vehicle itself. Whatever the transport method, make sure that the bike
is properly secured and periodically checked during transport. When transporting the bike,
especially outside the vehicle, always dismount the battery to prevent damage.
Transporting the bike on public transport is generally allowed. We recommend that you check the
transport system regulations for information on any permissible time slots and additional costs.
Because air transport requires specific packaging and marking as dangerous goods, we absolutely
recommend that you contact the airline or courier company before using these kinds of transport.
Before transporting the bike on the outside of a vehicle, ensure that you have
dismounted all moving parts and separable components, in particular the
battery and drivepack. When transporting the bike on the outside of a vehicle,
after the battery has been removed, protect the contacts from moisture and
dirt, for example using a plastic bag.
Check whether the road laws where you are travelling require special signs
or other measures for transporting bicycles on vehicle-mounted bike carriers.
Pay attention to the weight of the bike compared to regular bikes when
you are handling, loading and unloading, and when placing more than one
pedelec on the vehicle roof or external bike carriers. Check the weight limits
specified by the bike carrier and vehicle manufacturers.
Never leave the bike for long periods of time inside a vehicle exposed
to sunshine: the interior temperature could cause cosmetic damage to
components, or alter or damage their structural or mechanical features, or
cause dangerous overheating of the battery.

10. AFTER A FALL
In case of a fall, we recommend the following checks before resuming your ride:
1. Check that the system is still operational and ensure that no electrical components have
been damaged.
2. Check that no errors of any kind are shown on the display, in which case, switch off the pedal
assistance system.
3. Check that the wheels are still securely attached and that the rims are still centred in the
frame and fork.
4. Check that the handlebar and stem are not broken or deformed. Check that the handlebar is
still properly connected to the fork by turning the handlebar against light resistance and verifying
that the wheel turns properly. Apply the brakes and lightly force the handlebar to check that the
brake system is still solidly attached to the bike and working.
5. Make sure the chain is correctly positioned on the chainring and cassette. Raise the rear
wheel and check the operation of the rear derailleur. Check especially that the derailleur does not
come too close to the spokes when moving the chain onto the larger cassette sprockets. If the
rear derailleur comes too close, there is a risk that it will end up between the spokes and cause a
fall, with consequent danger to the safety of the user and the integrity of the bike.
6. Check the position of the saddle.
7.
Check that there are no abnormal noises coming from the bike by lifting and letting it bounce
from a low height.
8. Visually check for cracks, deformation or altered paint.
Once you have completed these checks, you can resume riding to return to base, without forcing
on the pedals or brakes, and paying close attention to any abnormal behaviour or noises. In case
of abnormal behaviour, do not use the bike.
After you have returned home, take the bike to your local Pinarello dealer for a complete and
accurate inspection.
