09 BATTERY POWER 9.3 Transport & Disposal
49
In accordance with Directive 2012/19/EU and
Directive 2006/66/EC respectively, electronic
devices that are no longer usable and defective/
drained batteries must be collected separately and
recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
WARNING!
If you transport your eBike attached to the outside of your
car, e.g. on a bike rack, remove the on-board computer and
the eBike battery (exception: built-in eBike battery) to avoid
damaging them.
Transport
The eBike batteries are subject to legislation on the transport
of dangerous goods. Private users can transport undamaged
eBike batteries by road without having to comply with additional
requirements.
When batteries are transported by commercial users or third parties
(e.g. air transport or forwarding agency), special requirements on
packaging and labelling (e.g. ADR regulations) must be met. When
preparing items for shipping, a dangerous goods expert can be
consulted as required.
Do not ship batteries if the housing is damaged or the eBike battery
is not fully functional. Use only the original Bosch eBike battery
packaging when transporting the eBike battery. Apply tape over
exposed contacts and pack the eBike battery such that it cannot
move around inside the packaging. Inform your parcel service that the
package contains dangerous goods. Please also observe any additional
national regulations should these exist. If you have any questions about
transporting the eBike batteries, contact an authorised Whyte bicycle
retailer.

Disposal
Batteries, accessories and packaging should be recycled in an
environmentally friendly manner. Do not dispose of batteries along with
household waste. Apply tape over the contact surfaces of the battery
terminals before disposing of batteries.
Do not touch severely damaged eBike batteries with your bare hands
– electrolyte may escape and cause skin irritation. Store the defective
battery in a safe location outdoors. Cover the terminals if necessary and
inform your Whyte retailer. They will help you to dispose of it properly.
Please return batteries that are no longer usable to an authorised bicycle
retailer.
