Technibike E-MTB - Bike Tuning Is Not Permitted; Warranty and Liability in the Case of Defects

35
Bike tuning is not permitted
Do not modify the pedelec’s tech-
nology in any way. Manipulating the
bike in any way to increase its per-
formance or speed may be punishable by
law and can put your safety in danger.
Possible legal implications:
• The pedelec is required by law to be reg-
istered for approval and insured. All legal
regulations apply pertaining to the bike’s
equipment and the StVZO (Road Trafc
Licensing Regulations).
• The manufacturer does not offer any kind
of guarantee, warranty or liability.
• Criminal consequences cannot be ruled
out. For example, an offence may be
charged for a physical injury resulting from
negligence.
• Termination of bicycle insurance
Possible technological implications:
• Tampering with the bike’s technology may
limit its capabilities, cause defects or break
the bike parts.
• The motor and battery may become over-
loaded and overheat. Consequences: Ir-
reparable damages and risk of re.
• This puts more wear on the brakes. Con-
sequences: Malfunction, overheating, in-
creased wear and tear.
Warranty and liability in the
case of defects
In all nations which apply EU law,
the common conditions for warran-
ty/liability for material defects apply.
Please inform yourself about the applicable
national regulations in your specic country.
Under EU law, the seller accepts liability for ma-
terial defects for at least two years after the date
of sale. This also covers defects which already
existed at the time of sale/change of ownership.
In fact, if material defects occur within the rst
six months, the assumption is made that these
already existed at the time of sale.
Bicycles -– especially those with auxiliary elec-
trical motors – are complex vehicles. Therefore
it is required to implement all service intervals
properly. Omitting servicing puts the claim of the
seller at risk if the error could have been avoided
by servicing. The necessary maintenance is out-
lined in the chapters of these operating instruc-
tions and in the enclosed instructions from the
component manufacturers.
In most cases, the customer can rst request
subsequent fullment.
If repair fails conclusively, which is the assump-
tion after two attempts, the customer is entitled to
abatement or cancellation of the contract.
Liability for material defects does not cover nor-
mal wear occurring from the product’s intended
purpose. Components in the motor and deceler-
ation system as well as tyres, light system and
contact points of the rider with the bicycle are all
subject to use-related wear, as well as the battery
in pedelecs and e-bikes.
If the manufacturer of your bicycle or pedelc/e-
bike provides additional guarantees, seek advice
from your specialist retailer. Please consult the
respective warranty terms for more information
on the conditions of these and of any possible
claims under these.
In the case of a defect/possible lia-
bility claim, please contact your
specialist retailer. We recommend
ling all purchase receipts and inspection
reports as proof for your records.
