For your
safety
Electric bicycle and battery disposal
rules according to EU regulations
Failure to follow the rules for battery use and storage
may damage the battery, which may result in leakage,
overheating, explosion or ignition of the battery. Avoid direct
contact with the battery liquid and do not inhale its vapors.
In the event of the liquid spilling on clothes or skin, rinse with
plenty of water. The battery liquid may cause chemical burns.
In case of eye contact, immediately wash the affected area
thoroughly with plenty of clean water without rubbing your
eyes and seek medical attention immediately.
Failure to do so may damage your eyesight.
Do not dispose of the electric bike by throwing it away as
unsorted waste. There is a separate, free collection service for
used electrical and electronic equipment available.
According to EU Directive 2006/66/EC,
batteries and accumulators should be sorted
after use and stored in specially designed
waste containers. Every battery user is legally
obliged to dispose of old batteries as per the
regulations. A used battery can be returned free
of charge to a public waste collection point.
Discharge the battery and protect it against
short circuits before disposal.
