2. SAFETY
2.1. SAFETY GEAR
Wear protective clothing when riding your E-Bike. Such clothing must provide good visibility and
reflect light. Do not wear loose-fitting clothes to avoid entanglement with your E-Bike or cover-
ing the lighting system or reflectors.
Protective gear is available for each part of your body. Always wear biking gloves, sturdy shoes
and protective goggles. Riding without protective clothing and other protective gear increases
the risk of serious injury.
2.2. WHO IS AUTHORIZED TO USE THE EBIKE?
The minimum age for anybody to ride an E-Bike is 16 years.
All riders must be healthy enough as well as both physically and mentally fit to control an E-Bike.
They must be able to negotiate trac in a safe manner and in compliance with all applicable laws
and regulations.
Always wear protective clothing, safety gear and a well-fitting helmet to protect against severe
injuries in case of an accident.
Observe and follow all instructions of the helmet manufacturer.
Prior to every ride, perform a safety check.
Use your E-Bike only as intended.
Never ride under the influence of alcohol, drugs or prescription medication.
O-road riding is more hazardous and requires greater skills. Make sure to avoid serious injuries
by practicing on easy terrain first.
Be sure to be seen by other drivers and other trac when riding at night or when visibility is
bad. Do not ride unless your lighting system is switched on and fully operational.
After a fall or an accident, have the E-Bike inspected and, if necessary, repaired by
an authorized dealer to ensure safety and prevent further accidents.
