Avoid Riding In Wet Weather; Avoid Serious Injury Or Death In Twilight Or At Night - Rcb Rk29 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Avoid serious injuries due to damaged components
When riding off-road or over kerbs, the electric motor, crank or bottom bracket can touch
down and be damaged. This can result in serious injury.
· Only use the bike on authorised paths.
· If there are obstacles, step off and lift off the bike.
· If the bike is damaged, have it checked by a specialist dealer.

Avoid riding in wet weather

Wet weather affects traction, braking and visibility, both for the cyclist and for other
vehicles on the road. The risk of an accident is extremely high in wet conditions.
In wet conditions, the braking performance of your brakes (as well as the brakes of other
vehicles on the road) is drastically reduced and your tyres will not grip nearly as well. This
makes it harder to control your speed and easier to lose control. To ensure you can slow
down and stop in wet conditions, ride at a lower speed and brake earlier and more gently
than in normal, dry conditions.
Wet weather can reduce the grip of the rider's feet on the pedals. If your feet slip off the
pedals, a fall may occur.

Avoid serious injury or death in twilight or at night

Cycling at night is much more dangerous than cycling during the day. A cyclist is very
difficult for motorists and pedestrians to recognise. Therefore, teenagers should never
ride at dusk or at night. Adults who have decided to take on the greatly increased risk of
riding at dawn, dusk or at night must take extra care and use special equipment to reduce
this risk. Consult your dealer for safety equipment suitable for night riding.
· Drive slowly and carefully, but preferably on familiar routes.
· Avoid dark areas or heavy traffic.
· Be predictable in traffic, ride defensively and be visible to others.
· Expect the unexpected conditions, especially in the dark and in poor weather conditions.
· Continue to learn about cycling safety through literature or lessons.
