5. Be careful when transporting an electric bicycle.
• An electric bicycle is heavier than a normal bicycle. If transporting on a vehicle, be aware of the maximum load capacity of
the vehicle’s roof, towing hook and/or the bicycle carrier. Refer to the manuals of the vehicle and bicycle carrier for details.
• Remove the controller (if removable), and battery and, if present, panniers from the bicycle and store them elsewhere in
the vehicle during the drive.
• Always respect local laws about transportation of an electric bicycle.
• Because Li-Ion batteries of this size and power are considered ‘Dangerous goods, class 9’ when transporting, regulations
may restrict the transport of separate Li-Ion batteries in some places. The restrictions apply to most airlines and some
trucking companies. If you intend to ship or travel with your electric bicycle (with installed battery),
check with the airline
or carrier and local regulations about traveling with a Li-Ion battery.
6. Obey local regulations.
In most countries the regulations for the use of an electric bicycle are the same as those for a standard bicycle. However,
there may be local differences such as where you can ride, minimum rider age, or required equipment and registration. It
is the rider’s responsibility to know the local regulations that apply to an electric bicycle and to obey them.
7. Mounting accessories on an e-bike.
An electric bike has hidden wiring through frame and has other critical e-bike parts like
the drive unit and battery pack. When mounting accessories (e.g. a bottle cage), be sure
not to impact the wiring or battery pack, e.g. by using too long or pointed bolts.
This might cause a short circuit to the electric system and/or damage to the battery.
Warning. A short circuit in the electric system and/or damage to the battery might lead to over-heating.
In an extremely rare case, a battery pack that has been severely impacted could potentially catch fire.
