TRANSPORTING THE EBIKE
LOCKING YOUR EBIKE
In recent years, the German Railway and
other international railway companies have
expanded the opportunities for bicycle
transportation so that bicycles can be
easily brought along. Be sure to inquire
about advanced booking or other formali
-
ties, especially in summer when the E-bike
compartments are often full. We recommend
removing all panniers and accessories prior
to locking the bike in the compartment to
prevent damage and theft.
TRANSPORTING ON A PLANE
E-bikes cannot be transported in the aircraft.
Li-Ion batteries of the size that we use are
considered hazardous goods and cannot be
transported in aircraft.
TRANSPORTING ON AN AUTOMOBILE
ROOF RACK
All E-bikes from Riese & Müller can be easily
transported using roof and luggage racks
from Thule and Altera. These systems allow
the easy mounting of the bike. Of course
there are other systems capable of carrying
our bikes but this is simply our recommenda
-
tion. If interested in another system, please
visit your local dealer for more informa
-
tion regarding compatibility. Make sure to
conduct a test to see if the rack can accom
-
modate the oversized frame tubes. We also
recommend driving more slowly and cau
-
tiously while the bike is attached to the car
and don’t forget about the bike on the roof
when you pull into a garage!
TIP!
For safety reasons you have to re-
move the battery and transport it in
the car. Moreover this decreases the
E-bike weight and makes handling
easier. Some carrier systems have
a load limit of 25 kg which you can
fulll by removing the battery.
