2.7. LIFESPAN OF YOUR EBIKE AND ITS COMPONENTS
If subjected to moderate use, the E-Bikes from Riese & Müller have a product lifetime of 10 years
or 20,000 miles. The wear and tear of an E-Bike, however, largely depends on the load, the road
conditions and the riding style.
When exposing your E-Bike to a lot of stress (e.g. total vehicle load of 242 lbs or more, riding over
unpaved roadways or curbstones, riding in dirty and corrosive environments) on a regular basis,
you may experience that the lifetime of your E-Bike shortens to about 10,000 miles.
When your E-Bike has reached the end of its product lifetime, it is no longer roadworthy and safe.
Please note that components such as the handlebar, stem, and suspension fork or rear shock ab-
sorber have a significantly shorter product lifetime. Actual product lifetimes of these components
are also subject to the above mentioned conditions. Please consult your authorized dealer who
can determine whether and when a component has to be replaced.
2. SAFETY
WARNING
E-Bikes are subject to wear and tear.
Bring your E-Bike to your authorized dealer for regular inspections and timely
replacement of safety relevant components like handlebar, stem or suspension fork.
After reaching the end of their product lifetime, the components of your E-Bike may fail abruptly
and cause falls and serious injuries.
