9.1 Preventing pain
The pedelec is both a means of transport and a
piece of sports equipment that promotes health.
After the first few rides, you may experience sore
muscles the next day. However, permanent pain
should never occur during or after a ride.
The most common complaints are:
• Sitting discomfort
• Pain in hips
• Backache
• Pain in shoulders and nape of neck
• Numb or aching hands
• Pain in upper thigh
• Pain in the knee
• Pain in the foot
If you suffer from one or more of the complaints
above, take the following action steps:
1 Check the correct adjustment of all
components. In most cases, however, pain
after pedelec rides is due to a lack of training
and components set incorrectly or components
that are not adjusted to the rider’s physique.
2 Consult a doctor as soon as possible and talk
openly about the complaints. Pain may be a
sign of medical problems that need to be
treated.
3 If the doctor does not diagnose a medical
condition, visit a gym, sports trainer or
physiotherapist. Personalised stretching or
musculature strengthening exercises must be
supervised to ensure they are performed
correctly.
