21.4 Final decommissioning / disposal
Note on waste prevention
According to the provisions of EU Directive 2008/98/
EC and its implementation in the legislation of the
EU Member States, waste prevention measures
should be pursued as a priority instead of waste
management measures.
In the case of electrical and electronic equipment,
extending the life of the equipment by repairing
defective devices and passing on/selling functio-
ning used equipment (instead of final disposal) are
of particular importance for waste prevention.
The EU Directives for old electrical and electronic
equipment (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment Directive 2012/19/EU) and for old recharge-
able and conventional batteries (Battery Directive
2006/66/EC) apply to the disposal of an electric
motor-assisted bicycle, according to which the cor-
responding components must be collected separa-
tely and disposed of in an environmentally sound
manner.
As a consumer, you are legally obliged to return
electrical and electronic devices, as well as rechar-
geable and conventional batteries, at the end of
their service life to the public collection points set
up for this purpose or to the specialist trade.
f Before disposing of the e-bike, be sure to remove the
rechargeable battery of the e-drive.
f If necessary, remove other rechargeable and conventio-
nal batteries installed on the e-bike, as well as all
components and operating parts containing recharge-
able and conventional batteries from the e-bike.
21.4.1 Disposing of the e-bike
f Dispose of the e-bike (without batteries) as old elect-
ronic equipment.
f Contact your city or local government to find out
about free collection points for old electrical
appliances and/or collection points where old
electrical appliances can be recycled.
f If applicable, delete personal data stored on
accessory devices before you hand in the e-bike
at the collection point.
This task is your responsibility.
21.4.2 Disposing of the battery
f Observe the detailed instructions for disposing of the
battery in the manufacturer's instructions for the
e-drive.
f Dispose of any rechargeable and conventional batte-
ries removed from the e-bike as hazardous waste at a
recycling centre or collection point in your town or
municipality.
