Before putting the unit into operation, the user should read through the complete
manual, since it provides important information about correct operation and mini-
mises the risks. If damage does occur due to failure to observe these instructions,
the manufacturer accepts no liability, and the guarantee/warranty is void.
Proper functioning of the bike and the add-e NEXT retrofit kit is essential and
reduces the risk of injury or accidents with potentially fatal consequences for the
cyclist and others.
For your own safety, please ensure that you wear the proper protective clothing
and a helmet. First, practice with care on a suitable track to get used to the new
handling behaviour with the add-e.
Depending on the frequency of use, you should inspect and may need to clean the
add-e NEXT retrofit kit and its parts on a regular basis. Before each journey, check
the bike for the correct motor setting, tyre pressure/condition and the secure fit of
the add-e, and adjust if necessary!
Ensure that no moving parts, e.g. cables of the drive unit or other objects, can get
caught between the drive unit and the tyre, otherwise unexpected problems may
ensue, including the rear wheel jamming.
The motor swing arm must always remain mobile, do not let objects get wedged
in it. Otherwise, this may result in the motor no longer disengaging from the rear
wheel and/or unwanted damage.
The motor of the drive unit can get very hot while travelling. Avoid touching it
directly after use, as this could lead to burns and injuries.
