Safety
Defective battery
Liquids and vapours may leak from damaged or
faulty batteries. Excessively high temperatures
may also cause liquids and vapours to leak from
the battery. Such liquids and vapours can irritate
the airways and cause burns.
Never dismantle the battery.
Avoid contact with skin.
Never inhale vapours.
2.3 Requirements for the pedelec
rider
The pedelec rider must have adequate physical,
motor and mental abilities to ride on public roads.
A minimum age of 14 years is recommended.
2.4 Vulnerable groups
Keep batteries and the charger away from
children and people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capacities or lacking in
experience and knowledge.
Children and young people must be provided
with comprehensive instructions by a legal
guardian.
2.5 Personal protective equipment
Wear a suitable helmet. The helmet must have
a reflective strip or a light in a clearly visible
colour.
Wear sturdy shoes which are not too tightly
laced.
Wear padded cycling gloves.
Wear gloves when it is cold.
Wear clothing which is as bright or
retroreflective as possible. Fluorescent
materials are also suitable. High-visibility
jackets and straps on your upper body ensure
even greater safety. Never wear a skirt. Always
wear trousers which reach down to your ankles
instead.
2.6 Safety guards
Three safety guards on the pedelec protect
pedelec riders against heat, dirt or moving parts:
• Chain or belt guards prevent clothing from being
pulled into the drive train.
• The motor cover on the motor casing protects
against heat.
• Mudguards protect against dirt and water
splashing up from the road.
Never remove the guards.
Check the guards on a regular basis.
Take pedelec out of service if a guard is
damaged or missing. Contact specialist dealer.
