battery catching fire or exploding.

high-pressure cleaner.
· If you accidentally immerse these components completely in water, disconnect the motor from the battery
immediately and do not put it back into operation until it has been checked by the manufacturer.
Avoid serious injuries due to body parts coming into contact with the components of
the bicycle. There is a risk of injury when reaching into the chain drive. Never touch
the chain drive while riding.
· When riding, parts of the body or other objects may come into contact with the sharp teeth of the chain
wheels, the moving chain, the rotating pedals and cranks and the rotating wheels of the bicycle. This can
result in serious injury.
· When riding, make sure that your body parts do not come into contact with the mentioned bicycle
components.
Avoid serious injuries due to damaged components
