GAZELLE MANUAL
A separate driving licence is not required for
an electric bike. Insurance is not obligatory
for an e-bike.
There is no age restriction on using an
e-bike.
Cycling on cycle tracks is regulated in the
same way as for conventional bikes.
These regulations apply to your bike
when using it within the European Union.
Other provisions may apply in countries
outside the EU and in isolated cases in
Europe as well. Before using your bike
abroad be sure to make enquiries about
which laws apply.

1.2.2 Safety and warranty

Read the Gazelle Safety and Warranty
manual for all safety instructions and
warranty conditions. You will be supplied
with this manual included as standard with
your bike and you can also access it digitally
on our website (www.gazelle.nl/service/
handleidingen).

1.2.3 Waste disposal

The motor, display including control unit,
battery, speed sensor, accessories and
packaging must be recycled in an environ-
mentally sound manner. Do not dispose of
an e-bike or its components with household
waste!
For EU countries only: Under European
Directive 2012/19/EU electrical equipment
which is no longer usable and under Euro-
pean Directive 2006/66/EC defective or
spent accumulators and batteries must
be collected separately and recycled in an
environmentally sound manner.
The battery incorporated in the control
computer may only be removed if it is needs
to be disposed of. Opening the housing
may irreparably damage the display.
Hand in batteries and displays which are no
longer usable to an accredited cycle shop.

1.3 BATTERY

• Remove the battery from the bike
before working on the e-bike (e.g.
assembly, maintenance, servicing the chain,
etc.), transporting it by car or by air or stor-
ing it. There is a risk on injury in the event of
accidentally activating the electric system.
• Do not open the battery. This risks a short
circuit. Opening the battery renders any
warranty claim null and void.
• Protect the battery against heat (e.g.
against sustained exposure to strong sun-
light as well), fire and immersion in liquids.
There is a risk
of explosion.
• Avoid touching the battery with paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or any other
small metal objects which could cause the
contacts to short out. Short circuits between
battery contacts can result in burns or fire.
Damage arising in this way due to a short
circuit will render any warranty claim null
and void.
• Improper use may cause fluid to leak out of
the battery. Avoid contact with it.
In the event of inadvertent contact wash off
with water. If the fluid comes into contact
with the eyes, you must seek medical assis-
