Protection from theft, manipulation and loss

DANGER
Protect your pedelec from unauthorised access. Serious injury may
result if third parties modify components (e.g. the brakes) without
your knowledge. Inspect your pedelec before every trip, and after
each time it has been transported anywhere or left unattended
 4. Before every trip Page EN-28. If your bike is damaged, only ride
it again once the damage has been rectified. Your bike will not be
replaced under warranty if lost or stolen.
The following measures can help you to protect your pedelec from theft
and manipulation and to recover it if it has been stolen:
Always lock the bike and battery even if you leave it for
a short while. Ideally, the lock(s) should block the wheel
powered by the motor. Do not leave the key in. To be on the
safe side, you can also remove the battery. A pedelec must
also be secured with a lock when parked outside residential
areas (e.g. in a shed or basement).
Do not park your pedelec in deserted locations –
especially for long periods. If possible, park your pedelec
in private or communal garages or individual bike lockers
which have surveillance.

Attach your pedelec to a fixed object (such as a tree, street
lamp or fence) so that it cannot be carried away.
Quick-release wheels should be attached to a fixed object
together with the frame. This prevents the wheel from
being stolen. Alternatively, the quick-release levers can be
replaced by an anti-theft device. Contact your cycle dealer if
you have questions on this.
Use a high-quality bike lock. Invest about 10% of the
purchase price of the bike in locks. Your cycle dealer will be
able to fit a suitable frame lock if your bike does not already
have one. You can also use other types of bike lock. Ask
your cycle dealer for advice.
Make a note of the important details of your pedelec (e.g.
in the service book  II.III Service book Page
passport) and have it registered by the police. This makes it
easier to describe and identify if stolen.
