Legal regulations
/
• Do not start riding before checking whether the
chain is safely resting on the chain wheel and
the sprocket. It must run fully over the gear
wheels. Falls and serious injuries may result
if you start off and the chain falls off a gear
wheel.
Do NOT ride on when you notice that something
on your bicycle has changed. Check loose parts
for functionality and always use a torque spanner
to fasten them. Bring your bicycle to a special-
ist dealer, describe the fall and have the bicycle
inspected!
Aluminum components may break
suddenly if they have become de-
formed. Do not use deformed or
bent components, e.g. after a fall. Always ex-
change such components.
Components made of carbon can be se-
verely damaged without showing any dam-
age. Have all components made of carbon
checked by a specialist dealer after a fall.
Before riding your bicycle on public roads, you
should inform yourself about the applicable na-
tional regulations in your specic country.
This section provides information on how the
bicycle has to be equipped to be permitted to
participate in public road trafc.
Here you can nd out which light systems
have to be installed or carried with you and which
brakes the bicycle has to be equipped with.
There is also an explanation of which age re-
strictions apply and what age riders
have to be to ride where. The par-
ticipation of children in public road
trafc is also addressed here. If
there is an obligation to wear a hel-
met, it is stated here.

Permitted overall weight: Rider‘s

Bicycles are intended for transporting
one person at a time. Transporting an
additional person on the bike is only
permitted in the framework of national legis-
lation. A tandem is exempt from this. If you
would like to transport baggage, this requires
that your bicycle is tted with suitable equip-
ment. Children can only be transported in chil-
dren‘s seats or trailers intended for this pur-
pose. We recommend not taking any chances
when it comes to quality in this area!
Ensure that you do not exceed the maxi-
mum permissible weight.
