Careful handling of the Pedelec
UÊ Prior to the transport of this cycle either at
the rear or on the roof of a motor vehicle, al-
ways remove any parts which may loosen in
transit (tool bag, luggage baskets, luggage
bags, pumps, child seats, drive battery etc.)!
Permissible load for the Pedelec
UÊ The permissible total weight (bike, cyclist and
luggage) for the Pedelec amounts to 130 kg.
UÊ The permissible load of the luggage carrier
is mentioned on the luggage carrier.
UÊ If your cycle is equipped with a front basket,
the additional load allowed here is 5kg.
Braking response
UÊ To ensure that the front wheel does not slip
and the Pedelec retains its steering capac-
ity, /perform careful braking maneuvers with
the front-wheel brake at tight curves/bends,
on sandy/slippery roads, wet asphalt and
black ice!
UÊ The brakes must be applied gently and pre-
cisely. Blocked wheels have a lesser brak-
ing effect and can therefore lead to skidding
and falls!
UÊ As a rule, brake prior to approaching a bend,
not in the bend itself; braking increases the
risk of slippage!
UÊ The brake levers attached to the handlebars
must always be firmly attached. Check them
regularly to ensure their firm attachment; ad-
just as necessary.
UÊ Any work on the brake system should be per-
formed solely by specialized dealers!
Proper use of the Pedelec
UÊ Your Pedelec is (due to its design and equip-
ment) designated for the same kind of use as
a typical bicycle: to use on public roads.
UÊ The safety equipment has been assembled
by manufacture: it must be regularly checked
by the user, and corrective maintenance must
be performed by the specialized dealer as
necessary.
UÊ In the event of non-compliance with the
safety guidelines indicated in these operating
instructions, We assumes no liability for any
resulting incidence of injury or damage. This
particularly applies to the use of the Pedelec
as well as to overloading and the improper
remedy of defects. Under these conditions,
there is no liability on our part for defects of
quality.
UÊ The Pedelec is not equipped for use in com-
petitive events.
Please also observe all other guidelines for
assembly, maintenance and upkeep indicat-
ed in this handbook (along with the specifi-
cations set forth by the gearshift-assembly
manufacturer).
Provisions on liability for
defects of quality
As a rule, the 24-month statutory period of liabil-
ity for defects of quality applies. The manufac-
turer shall warrant any material defects or design
errors on your Pedelec under the following pre-
requisites:
UÊ You can only asset your claim on any defects

Start-up of the Pedelec
The following chapters of the user manual of the
Pedelec presume that all basic ergonomic set-
tings and necessary safety checks of your bike
have already been done:
UÊ Handle bar and seat have been brought to
the desired position and tightened appropri-
ately.
UÊ The wheels have sufficient tyre pressure and
their axle nuts have been tightened too.
UÊ The function of the brakes and pedal drive
has been checked.
UÊ The lighting system is functioning.
For more information refer to the Chapter
“Adjustments before ride”.
Now check the charging state of the battery
by pressing the key on the LED-charging
