THE CERTIFICATE OF OWNERSHIP
Batavus takes care of the registration
of all bicycles before they leave the
Batavus factory. The details (frame
number and Theft Prevention Chip
(DPC) number) are sent directly to the
Rai DataCentre (RDC) for linkage to
the RDW Centre for Vehicle Technology
and Information.
Remember to note down the key
number. If you lose both keys you can
order new ones on the basis of the key
number. Nowadays the lock number is
the same as the DPC number.
What you should do if, despite these
measures, your bicycle is stolen:
35-40 Nm 1. Always report the theft to the po-
30-35 Nm lice.
20-25 Nm 2. ALWAYS take your Certifi cate of
30-40 Nm Ownership and all the relevant details
concerning your bicycle (which you
receive when you purchase it) with you.
8-10 Nm 3. The police can link your nationally-
20-25 Nm registered bicycle to your personal
25-30 Nm details and record the bicycle as having
been stolen.
15-18 Nm 4. If you have insured your bicycle you
30-35 Nm must also inform your insurance com-
pany of the theft.
25 Nm
If you wish to make a claim under the
Batavus guarantee, you must always be
able to submit the sales receipt and the
Certifi cate of Ownership to the dealer
and/or Batavus B.V.
