Only use your FELT bike for its intended purpose, as it may otherwise not stand
up to the stress and fail! In case you will use your bike for another than its
intended purpose, the warranty will become void.
Before carrying baggage with your FELT bike, please have a look at your
bike card and the chapter “Transporting baggage“ or contact your FELT
dealer under the address given at the end of this booklet.
FELT bikes are exclusively designed for being used as sports equipment.
They are not intended for the transport of children.
Please observe the traffic rules when riding on public roads.
When you are riding in dark or dim conditions, see to it that the bike is
equipped with the necessary lighting and reflectors. Turn on the lights
in time.
