Safety; General Use - dutch id FLOW Bedienungsanleitung

3. Safety

All Dutch ID e-bikes are designed and manufactured to the highest quality and safety standards.
Nevertheless, operating, installation and maintenance faults can lead to hazardous situations.
Read this manual in full before use and follow the instructions on the warning labels on the
e-bike and in this manual at all times. Failure to follow the safety directions and instructions can
lead to electric shocks, fire and/or serious injuries.
Retain all safety directions and instructions for future reference.

3.1. General use

WARNING
6
Ҍ Observe the locally applicable (cycle) traffic rules at all times, including the rules for bike
lighting.
Ҍ Consult the local regulations for the registration and use of e-bikes on public roads.
Ҍ Do not wear loose belts, scarves, skirts or other long clothing that may become entangled in
the various parts of the e-bike.
Ҍ Many of the moving parts of the e-bike are subject to wear. Have the bike checked annually
by a qualified e-bike specialist to keep the bike in a good and safe condition and to maximise
the lifespan of the e-bike.
Ҍ With the pedal assist feature of the e-bike, you can easily reach speeds of up to 25 km/h.
Wear a helmet while cycling to prevent head injuries in the event of an accident.
Ҍ Always turn on the bike lighting when using the e-bike in the dark. Cycling in the dark without
lighting is very dangerous, due to the poor visibility of the road surface and poor visibility for
other road users.
Ҍ Ensure that your front light is not angled at such a height that it shines directly into the eyes
of oncoming road users. This can dazzle them, which may lead to hazardous situations or
accidents.
Ҍ After cycling, do not touch the disc brakes of the e-bike with your hands or legs without
protection. Friction when applying the brakes can cause the brake discs to reach very high
temperatures.
Ҍ The brake discs have sharp edges. To prevent cuts, do not touch the brake discs without
protection.
Ҍ Only use original spare parts when replacing parts of the bike. Other part brands may not
operate in the same way or be of the same quality, which may adversely affect the safety of
the e-bike.
Ҍ Carrying large objects on the carrier can obstruct the handlebars. Therefore, always test
whether you can still move the handlebars freely. Make sure at all times that the shift cables
and brake levers are kept clear.
Ҍ The maximum load of the carrier is 15 kg.
Ҍ Do not carry children or pets on the carrier mounted on the front of the bike.
