Crash caused by brake failure
The braking effect may be unusually poor
temporarily after cleaning, servicing or repairs.
This may cause a crash with injuries.
Never apply care products or oil to the brake
discs or brake linings, or the braking surfaces
on the rims.
After cleaning, servicing or repair, carry out a
few test brake applications.
Notice
Water may enter the inside of the bearings if you
use a steam jet. This dilutes the lubricant inside,
the friction increases and, as a result, the
bearings are permanently damaged in the long
term.
Never clean the pedelec with a pressure
washer.
Greased parts, such as the seat post, the
handlebars or the stem, may no longer be safely
and reliably clamped.
Never apply grease or oil to clamping sections.

Crash caused by braking hard on rims
A rim can break and block the wheel if you brake
hard. This may cause a crash with serious
injuries.
Check rim wear on a regular basis.
