FOR YOUR SAFETY

Before riding your pedelec on public roads, you
should inform yourself about the applicable na-
tional regulations in your specific country.
In many countries you will require a driving li-
cense for driving an S-pedelec. Check the legal
situation in the respective country before use.
The operating instructions assume that you can
ride a bicycle. These instructions are not intended
to teach you how to ride an S-pedelec. They are
also not intended to provide information regard-
8 9
ing the assembly or repair of an S-pedelec or how
to assemble and repair your Stromer.
Remain aware that riding an S-pedelec is gener-
ally and always associated with risks. You, the
rider, are particularly at risk. Always remain aware
that you are not as protected as you would be, for
example, in a car. You have no airbag and no pro-
tective car body. You are nevertheless faster and
drive on other parts of the road than pedestrians
or many cyclists, who do not have a sufficiently
strong auxiliary drive. Pay particular attention to
others on the road.
The following information regarding the rider
must also be considered:
• Always wear a fitted and suit-
able S-pedelec helmet. Use it
each time you ride!
• Read the instructions of the hel-
met manufacturer to learn about
fitting the helmet correctly.
• Whenever you ride, wear bright clothing or
sports clothes with reflective elements (e.g. re-
flective vest); This is important to ensure that
you are seen in time by other traffic partici-
pants.
• Tight clothes and trouser clips are mandatory
to wear. Your shoes should have an anti-skid,
stiff sole.
• Never ride hands-free!
• Never ride with headphones. Never talk on the
phone while riding your S-pedelec. Never ride
your bike if you are not in a situation where you
are completely able to control it. You must al-
ways be fully fit to ride.
• Under wet and slippery conditions, alter your
way of riding accordingly. In this case, you
should ride more slowly and apply your brakes
earlier and more gradually as the braking dis-
tance becomes significantly longer.
• Ride at an appropriate speed and in accordance
with the terrain and your riding capabilities.
Take note that you are exposed to special risks when
participating in traffic on an S-pedelec. Protect your-
self and others by riding responsibly and safely!
Take note that you will be riding much fast-
er on an S-pedelec than on a bicycle without an
electrical drive. Other traffic participants might
misjudge that. Only use your S-pedelec in an ap-
propriate manner. Important, relevant informa-
tion is provided in the "Appropriate use" section.
Ask your Stromer dealer if you are not sure about
the purpose of use and the limits of the appropri-
ate use of an S-pedelec.
