1. SAFETY

1.1 GENERAL

Take care when children are around,
especially if they are able to insert
objects through apertures in the motor
housing. There is a risk of a life-threatening
electric shock.
If you think the bike is no longer safe to use,
you must take it out of use at once, secure it
against unintentional switching on or use,
as the case may be, and make it available to
the dealer for inspection. It is no longer safe
to use if current-carrying components or
the battery show visible signs of damage.
The walk assist function must only be used
when wheeling the bike on foot. There is a
risk of injury if the wheels on an e-bike are
not in contact with the ground when using
walk assist.
Do not make any changes to your
electric system or fit any other prod-
ucts to it aimed at increasing the power out-
put from your electric system. As a rule you
will shorten the service life of the system
and risk damaging the Drive Unit (motor)
and the e-bike. In addition there also the
danger that you will void the warranty cover
on the e-bike you have bought.
Furthermore, as a result of inexpert work on
the system you will jeopardise your safety
and that of other road users which risks
accidents caused by manipulations, high
personal liability costs and potentially even
the danger of criminal prosecution.

1.2 LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

Like all cycles, the bike must comply
with the requirements of the
national highway code.
The legal requirements set out below
are applicable to the bike:
The motor may only be used to assist

pedalling, i.e. it must only "help" when
the bike user applies effort to the pedals
him or herself.
The average motor power must not

exceed 250 W.
As speed increases motor power must

continue to drop progressively.
The motor must stop at (approximately)

25 km/h.
See also EC Declaration of conformity on
page 34.

1.2.1 Significance for the user

There is no obligation to wear a
helmet. However, for your own
safety we advise you not to cycle without
a helmet.
