General safety information

WARNING
!
Risk of accident and injury!
EN
If you do not follow the instructions listed below, which are intended
to help reduce the general risk of accidents and injuries, you expose
yourself and possibly other persons to an increased risk of serious
injury.
» Only use your e-bike if you are familiar with its handling and functions
and always follow the instructions for the proper use of your e-bike.
» When using any permissible special equipment or designs, please
note that doing so may alter the handling of your e-bike and adjust
your cycling style accordingly. When using a recumbent or aero
handlebar, for example, access to controls may be restricted and the
stopping distance may be longer than usual.
» Cycle with foresight in order to recognise events early and be able
to react to them.
» Always adapt both your cycling style and speed to current weather
conditions and road characteristics.
» Pay attention to other road users and adopt a defensive cycling style.
» Please note in particular that the braking distance can be longer and
the tyres have less grip on icy, wet, slippery or dirty roads.
» Always visually inspect your e-bike before using it. Make sure that
your e-bike or its components do not show any cracks, scoring,
damage or colour changes.
» Make sure that safety-relevant devices on the e-bike (e.g. the
brakes) are correctly adjusted and functional.
» Never use your e-bike if safety-relevant components (e.g. the
brakes) are damaged or do not function properly.

» Under no circumstances should you arbitrarily exchange components
on the e-bike or make any changes or repairs to the e-bike or
individual components. Have any damage to the e-bike repaired
by your specialist dealer and have damaged components replaced
exclusively with suitable original spare parts.
» Contact your dealer if you are unable to carry out work on the e-bike
described in the manual yourself (e.g. making certain adjustments
or similar tasks), if you feel unsafe or if you do not have the correct
tools.
» After an accident or fall or if your e-bike has been subjected to
excessive loads, contact your specialist dealer for a professional
inspection of your e-bike.
CAUTION
!
Risk of injury when wearing unsuitable
clothing!
Since moving parts of the e-bike are catching points for clothing, you
can injure yourself if you wear unsuitable clothing when using your
e-bike.
» When cycling, wear tight-fitting legwear if possible instead of wide
trousers, dresses or skirts.
» Make sure that loose clothing cannot get caught in the moving parts
of the e-bike, for example by using trouser clips.
» Make sure that no loose straps, laces or the like are hanging down.
» ...
» Wear shoes with non-slip soles to prevent your foot from slipping
during pedalling.
NOTE
Risk of damage through improper use!
If you do not use your e-bike in accordance with the instructions for
proper use, you risk that components may show signs of wear or break
more quickly.
» Always observe the permissible total weight of the e-bike (including
the cyclist and any luggage). The permissible total weight must not
be exceeded.
» Ensure that the tyre inflation pressure is set correctly and adjust it
if necessary.
» Do not cycle through deep water points if such use is not explicitly
permitted according to the intended use for your e-bike.
11 Safety instructions for the electric drive and
its components
WARNING
!
Risk of accident and injury!
Due to its construction and design, an e-bike behaves differently
in many ways than a conventional bike without an e-drive. If you
underestimate this difference, you could expose yourself and others to
an increased risk of serious injury.
» Be aware of the changed cycling behaviour and do not underestimate
the risks involved.
» At the beginning, consciously practice typical cycling situations with
your e-bike, such as starting and braking, cornering and turning, etc.
» Inform yourself about any applicable national regulations for e-bikes
and observe them.
» Only use the "Walk Assistance" function when pushing your e-bike:
When the walk assistance function is activated, the e-bike must be
held securely with both hands and the wheels must have ground
contact. Do not use the sliding support to be propelled while sitting
on the e-bike.
