GENERAL SAFETY NOTES

GENERAL SAFETY NOTES
• We recommend using the E-bike starting only at the age of 14.
• Become familiar with the operation and the special riding behaviour of the E-bike away
from road traffic first. Specifically practice starting, braking and taking narrow bends. The
E-bike has a longer braking distance than a bicycle because of its higher dead weight.
DANGER
Danger of accident!
• A lways comply with the national statutory provisions and traffic rules of the respective
country where you are using the E-Bike. In Germany, these provisions are specified in St-
VZO and StVO.
WARNING
• Every participant in public transport must act in such a way which does not endanger,
harm or unavoidably disturb or hinder anyone else beyond the circumstances. Therefore,
always ride foresightedly and considerately. Take other road users into consideration.
• Y ou must only ride your E-Bike on public roads and paths when it has the equipment le-
gally required in your country.
In Germany, these requirements are specified in road traffic licensing regulation
(Straßenverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ordnung; StVZO).
According to the StVZO, a bicycle/E-Bike in Germany requires:
- two brakes that work independently of each other,
- a clearly audible bell,
- a functional front headlight and a tail light,
- spoke reflectors or reflecting side stripes on the rim or tyres,
- pedal reflectors,
- a white reflector facing forwards (if not integrated in the headlights),
- one red large-surface Z-reflector.
Observe that the rechargeable battery supplies the lighting with power and
therefore it must be inserted and also charged for every ride.
• Ride with particular caution in bad weather, such as wet, snow or ice, or delay your ride to
a later time. In particular the brake performance may reduce strongly in detriment
weather! Danger of accident!
• Always switch on the lighting in bad visibility conditions! Consider that not only you will
see better when the lighting is on, but that other road users will be able to see you better
as well. Danger of accident!
• According to the law, you are not obligated to wear a helmet. However, do wear a bicycle
helmet for your own safety to avoid head injury! We recommend using PROPHETE bicycle
helmets tested to DIN EN 1078.
• Prefer very visible clothing with light colours and reflection stripes so that other
road users can see you better and sooner. Danger of accident!
• The E-Bike has turning and movable pats. Wrong clothing, improper handling or lack of
attention leads to danger of injury.
− Wear close-fitting trousers. Use cycle clips if necessary.
− Make sure that clothes that hang down cannot get into the spikes, e.g. in case of
scarves or cords.
− Wear slip-proof shoes with a stiff sole that provide enough support to the foot.
