DANGER!

If the lighting set of your SCOTT pedelec (d) is powered by the recharge-
able battery, you cannot use your light when riding without battery. In this
case, do not ride without rechargeable battery.
USEFUL FACTS FOR RIDING A SCOTT SPEED PEDELEC
Basically, a SCOTT speed pedelec is a pedelec, however, it is significantly faster.
Read the chapter “Riding a SCOTT pedelec” thoroughly, before reading this
chapter. Keep in mind that all tips and warnings given in the mentioned chapter
apply all the more and with still greater importance to SCOTT speed pedelecs.
Practise the handling of the still more powerful and faster SCOTT speed pedelec
and always ride with foresight.
In contrast to SCOTT pedelecs, SCOTT speed pedelecs are classified as motor
vehicles. This entails a number of regulations according to which your SCOTT
speed pedelec must be equipped:
- Beside the bicycle typical components it must be fitted with a rear view mir-
ror (e).
- A SCOTT speed pedelec must have liability insurance, an operating licence or
EU type approval and the insurance marking must be attached (f).
- The tyres must have a minimum tread depth of 1 mm, as is well known for
motor vehicles. Every tyre worn down to this minimum depth must be re-
placed by an identical one; otherwise this will void the operating licence.
- not only riding in high gears
- riding with these facts in mind and always looking ahead to avoid any unnec-
essary stops
- reducing your additional load, i.e. without unnecessary luggage
- storing your battery in your home and installing it only shortly before you set
off on your SCOTT pedelec in cooler weather, in particular when it is cold
- not parking your SCOTT pedelec in the blazing sun
If your battery has not enough capacity to reach your destination, benefit from
the decisive advantage of the hybrid concept of your SCOTT pedelec: Without
drive assistance you can ride your SCOTT pedelec like a usual bike with an un-
limited range and nearly without compromising on riding characteristics.
DANGER!
H
If your battery runs empty during the ride, do not recharge the battery with
any charger, even if it happens to be fitted with an identical connector type.
Risk of explosion! Make it a habit to charge your battery only with the supplied
charger (a).
RIDING WITHOUT MOTOR ASSISTANCE
You can also use your SCOTT pedelec without drive assistance, i.e. just like a
conventional SCOTT bike.
Observe some important facts, when you intend to ride without rechargeable
battery (b):
- If you want to ride without drive assistance and with the battery mounted,
you can switch on the control unit of your SCOTT pedelec to benefit from the
functions of your cycle computer.
- After you have removed the battery of your SCOTT pedelec: Keep the con-
nections of the rechargeable battery free of dirt and moisture (c).
