This original instruction manual is addressed at the riders and operators of the

tric motor, allows the rider to use it and provides it to specialists for maintenance
and repair. It is possible that the operator and the rider are different people, for
example in the case of a test ride, rental or loan.
Where text is expressly aimed at technical staff (e.g. bike mechanics) a reference
will be made to this. ROTWILD authorised retailers have qualified, trained staff
who have the appropriate technical training to identify risks and avoid hazards
which could occur during maintenance, servicing and repair of bikes assisted by
an electric motor.
