GETTING READY
Falls or accidents
If your bike has been damaged in a fall or acci-
dent, it should no longer be used. Any damage
is a potential cause for loss of control over your
bike. This could lead to a fall or accident in
which you and/or other persons may be injured.
Any damage should be repaired immediately. If
you are unable to perform the repairs yourself,
please contact a qualified professional repair
workshop.
Maximum permitted overall weight / load
carrying
• Please make sure before riding your bike that
the maximum permitted overall weight of your
ROTWILD bike of 20 kg (incl. bike, rider and
gear) is not exceeded.
• Do not transport any loads/bags or similar on
your handlebars. This may lead to uncon-
trolled steering errors and endanger you and
other road users.
Clothing
Please consider the following when selecting
cycling kit:
• Wear light coloured and noticeable clothing to
ensure that you are clearly visible in traffic.
• Do not wear loose clothing that could catch in
the chain, on the handlebars or in the wheels.
• Wear cycling glasses to protect your eyes.

a safety helmet reduces the risk of injury while
cycling.
Modifications & add-on accessories
Before you equip your ROTWILD bike with any

in traffic. Safety-relevant components, such as
handlebars, stems, seat posts, forks etc. should

dealer. The ROTWILD bikes are not designed
for fitting a child seat or to pull a child buggy.
As for all T models lighting systems, mud
guards, a rack and a side stand can be installed
to the particular mountings. Please contact your
ROTWILD dealer for more information.
Transporting your bike with carrier systems
When using a roof or rear bike carrier, the bike
must be transported standing upright on its
wheels.
Roof carriers
Make sure that all parts that are loosely atta-
ched (e.g. drinking bottle) are removed before
transporting your bike. carrier systems with
which bikes are attached by their saddles and
handlebars are not permitted because these

stresses during transportation – risk of damage!
Make sure that the jaw-fastenings for the down
tube are suitable for aerodynamic profiles. Be
sure to read the instruction for your roof-carrier
carefully and observe the recommended speed
limits. Take note of the increased overall height
of your vehicle and note this on a conspicuous
sticker applied to the dashboard or steering
wheel as a reminder.
