Transport

WARNING
Risk of short-circuiting and fire!
The lithium ion rechargeable battery is considered a
dangerous good and may be damaged if exposed to
shocks and impacts without such damages being
externally apparent.
• When transporting your e-bike, remove the rechargea-
ble battery and store it separately.
• Transport the rechargeable battery with special care.
• To rule out any risks and damages, transport the e-bike as
follows:
• Remove the rechargeable battery before transport (see the
chapter "Notes > Rechargeable battery > Transporting or
shipping the rechargeable battery").
By car
• Store the rechargeable battery so as to prevent slipping and
collision with other objects during the trip.
• Properly secure the load to protect the rechargeable battery
against compressive loads and avoid shocks.
• Store the rechargeable battery so that it is unable to be heated
up by exposure to the sun or other heat sources.
With e-bikes, the forces from braking and lateral forces that act
on the bike rack are stronger than with conventional bicycles.
• Check whether your bike rack is suitable for e-bikes.
• Ask your specialist dealer about suitable bike racks for your
e-bike.
Using other forms of transportation
When transporting e-bikes with the rechargeable battery, special
guidelines, which are constantly being expanded or updated, apply.
These guidelines may differ from one another depending on the
form of transportation.
• Contact the airline, train or ferry company in due time to get
informed regarding valid provisions that apply for the trans-
port of e-bikes. Have the technical data handy for this purpose.
Shipping
• If you ship your e-bike, ship the rechargeable battery separately
and well packed in a suitable transport container (see chapter
"Notes > Rechargeable battery > Transporting or shipping the
rechargeable battery").

Disposal

• Read the explanation of the symbols printed or stamped on
the packaging, the rechargeable battery and the charger (see
chapter "Fundamental information > Symbols and terms").
• Contact your specialist dealer or the appropriate authorities for
information on disposal.
