WHAT TO BEAR IN MIND WHEN TRANSPORTING YOUR SCOTT
PEDELEC
By car
SCOTT pedelecs can be transported like conventional SCOTT bikes outside or
inside the car. Always make sure the SCOTT pedelec is securely fastened out-
side or inside the car and check the fastenings regularly. In addition, you should
always remove the battery from your SCOTT pedelec (d) before fastening your
SCOTT pedelec outside the car. Stow the battery in its original cardboard box
(e) and, if mounted, a removable display unit, inside the car and secure it appro-
priately to avoid any damage during transport. The rechargeable battery should
be tightened with straps. Hazardous goods!
Protect the connections of the rechargeable battery against rain, wetness, mois-
ture and dirt during the journey, for example, with a plastic bag (f).
CAUTION!
S
The weight distribution on pedelecs differs markedly from the weight distri-
bution on bicycles without drive assistance. A pedelec is markedly heavier
than a bicycle without drive assistance. For this reason parking, pushing, lifting
and carrying the SCOTT pedelec is more difficult. Bear this in mind when load-
ing your pedelec into a car and unloading it or when mounting it on a bicycle
carrier system.
CAUTION!
S
Before transporting several pedelecs with a roof mounting or a rear mount-
ing carrier system, inform yourself about the maximum load capacity of
the bike carrier and the maximum load of the trailer hitch. Keep in mind that the
weight of a pedelec is higher than the weight of a bicycle without drive. Maybe
you can only transport one or two pedelecs instead of three bicycles without
drive.
NOTE!
I
Observe that every train traveller is normally allowed to take only one bicy-
cle with him.
NOTE!
I
Before you start your trip inform yourself in time about the conditions of
carriage and also observe the regulations and rules about bicycle transport
in the countries through which you intend to travel.
BY PLANE
If you want to take your SCOTT bike with you when you go on a trip by plane,
pack it in an appropriate bicycle suitcase (a) or in a bicycle cardboard box (b)
that you can obtain from your SCOTT dealer. Special bicycle bags often do not
provide sufficient protection for your SCOTT bike.
Pack the wheels (in particular carbon wheels) in special wheel bags (c) to pro-
tect them inside the suitcase or cardboard box. Do not forget to take the nec-
essary tools, a torque wrench and bits, carbon assembly paste and this owner’s
manual with you to be able to assemble your SCOTT bike and to get it ready for
use at your destination.
NOTE!
i
Transport of your SCOTT bike with the wheels mounted: Pull the brake lever
and secure it with a strong elastic strap, when transporting your SCOTT bike
with hydraulic disc brakes. This will prevent air from entering the system.
NOTE!
i
When transporting your SCOTT bike with the wheels removed, make sure
to mount the transport locks. Pull the brake lever and secure it with a strong
elastic strap, when transporting your SCOTT bike with hydraulic disc brakes.
This will prevent air from entering the system.
