Transport
Safety while on the go
Lithium-ion batteries store large amounts of energy. That's why some
precautions are necessary during transport. Ideally, the battery should
be set to approx. 30 % discharged and only fully charged again at the
destination.
By car
If the eBike is being transported with a bike rack, remove the
battery first and place it in a safe location inside the car.
By plane
The International Air Transport Association has forbidden the
trans portation of eBike batteries on passenger planes. Renting a
Bosch eBike battery at your destination is recommended. C
heck
in advance whether the airline will transport eBikes without
a battery.
By train
In trains with bicycle compartments, most eBikes may be trans-
ported without any hassle. eBikes often need an extra ticket and
a reservation. The eBike
battery must remain permanently
installed during the journey and
must not be charged. Contact the
respective service provider for precise information on the trans-
port conditions. In some cases, it is not possible to take eBikes
on all routes.
On commuter services and long-distance buses
On commuter services—light rail services, for example— it is often
permissible to take a bike on board at regional off-peak
times,
provided you have purchased a bicycle ticket. It is advisable
to
obtain information from the relevant transport authority before
traveling. The policies for transporting pedelecs on long-distance
buses varies from company to company. In this case, you should
also inquire in good time before starting your journey.
A eBike battery is a hazardous item. When shipping,
the special regulations of the hazardous goods law apply.
It is therefore practically impossible for private indivi duals to ship
a battery.
