Intended use is also limited by:
»The safety instructions in this User Manual
»The „Technical data“ chapter in this User Manual
»The national regulations for street transport (StVO)
»The national regulations for the street transport permit ordinance (StVZO)
The following user groups should not use the Pedelec:
»Persons with a limited physical, sensory or mental capacity.
»Persons who due to their body size, cannot safely drive the bicycle.
Any changes to your Ruan increasing the motor output or maximum
support speed, will endanger your driving safety and convert the
vehicle from a Pedelec into a small motorcycle. You will be exposed
to sanctions in accordance with trac, licence and safety regulation
with penal consequences!
Rotating parts such as wheels, chain ring, sprocket, pedal crank or
pedals may draw into clothing, carried objects and even body parts,
e.g. your shawl or a bag attached to the handlebar may get caught
into the spokes during driving. When you slip your feet from the
pedals, they can get caught into the spokes. This may lead to severe
accidents!
-> Always wear tight-fitting clothes.
-> Wear shoes with non-slip, flat soles.
-> Do not attach objects onto the handlebar, as they may swing into
the front wheel.
A Pedelec always accelerates faster than a bicycle. Be always aware
that other trac participants cannot always predict your acceleration
performance.
-> Exercise your new Ruan first at a quiet location, before riding in
the busy streets.
-> Exercise the brakes. Please see also chapter 4.4. „Brake system“.
