Maintenance and care
Your Pedelec must be regularly maintained. The
rst inspection should be performed by our spe-
cialist workshop after riding approximately 200
km or after four to six weeks. This is required,
as bolted connections may come loose, brake
and gear cables may stretch, the bearings will
run in and the spokes may settle during the rst
few miles ridden.
• Maintenance and cleaning of live parts may
only be performed by a specialist dealer!
• Only have the components of your Pedelec
replaced with original parts or parts that have
been approved by the manufacturer. Warranty
and guarantee claims may otherwise become
invalid.
• Remove the battery before cleaning your Pe-
delec.
• Take care not to touch and thus connect con-
tacts when you clean or maintain/repair the
battery. This could lead to injuries or damage
the battery when the contacts are live.
• Cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner may
damage the electrical system. The high pres-
sure may also squeeze cleaning agent into
sealed parts and damage them.
Avoid damaging cables and electrical compo-
nents. In the event that this should happen, the
Pedelec must be taken out of operation until it
has been checked by a specialist dealer!
Inspections and maintenance are
part of appropriate use and are re-
quired to retain your claims regard-
ing liability for material defects (warranty) and
guarantee.
Please take note that the electrical
ride may increase wear in compari-
son to bicycles without a drive, in
particular wear to brakes and tyres, and in
case of a bottom-bracket drive also the chain
and the sprockets.
Only use original spare parts when
exchanges are required.
Do not let children handle the
Pedelec without supervision and
without detailed instructions.
Make children aware of the risks posed by
handling electrical devices.
The display usually
indicates when the
recuperation mode is
switched on.
