By plane
If you intend to take your SCOTT pedelec by plane or to dispatch it by a for-
warding agent, you have to observe particular packing and labelling require-
ments for rechargeable batteries which are considered as hazardous goods.
Contact the airline, an expert for hazardous material or the forwarding agent in
time.
NOTE!
U
Contact the airline with which you intend to travel in time and inform your-
self about conditions and possibilities of taking your SCOTT pedelec with
you.
GENERAL NOTES ON CARE AND SERVICING
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING YOUR SCOTT BIKE OR PEDELEC
Your SCOTT dealer will have assembled and adjusted your SCOTT bike ready
for use when you come to collect it. Nevertheless, your SCOTT bike needs reg-
ular servicing (f). Have your local SCOTT dealer do the scheduled maintenance
work. This is the only way to ensure that all components function safely and
reliably for many kilometres.
The bike will be due for its first service after 100 to 300 kilometres, 5 to 15 hours
of initial use or four to six weeks, at the latest however after three months.
The bedding-in phase typically involves spokes slightly losing tension or gears
coming out of adjustment, so there is every reason to have your SCOTT dealer
service the SCOTT bike at this stage. This bedding-in process is unavoidable.
Therefore, remember to make an appointment with your SCOTT dealer to have
your new SCOTT bike inspected. This first service is very important for both
functioning and durability of your SCOTT bike.
The motor, the rechargeable battery and the control element and/or display are
mainly maintenance free, except for the battery charging which is necessary
regularly.
CAUTION!
S
Make sure to remove all movable and loose parts and above all the re-
chargeable battery, if possible, the control element (a) and the cycle com-
puter (b) on the handlebars before transporting the pedelec inside or outside
the car. If you transport your SCOTT pedelec without its battery (c) on a bike
carrier system, protect the connections against water, moisture and dirt, for
example, with a plastic bag (d).
NOTE!
U
If necessary, inform yourself about the laws and regulations concerning
bike/pedelec transport in the countries that you intend to transit during
your journey. The laws and regulations differ, e.g. with regard to the marking.
NOTE!
U
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufactur-
er on this SCOTT info CD.
By train / By public transport
SCOTT pedelecs can be transported like conventional bikes by public transport.
NOTE!
U
If the rechargeable battery of your SCOTT pedelec is mounted to the down
tube or to the pannier rack, you can remove the battery for an easier board-
ing and disembarking (e).
NOTE!
U
Observe that every train traveller is normally allowed to take only one
pedelec with him.
NOTE!
U
Before you start your trip, inform yourself in time about the conditions of
carriage and also observe the regulations and rules about bike and pedelec
transport in the countries through which you intend to travel.
