This device is marked according to the
European Directive 2012/19/EU on
waste electrical and electronic
equipment – WEEE and the European
Directive 2006/66/EC on accumulators.
The directive provides the framework for
the return and recycling of used devices across
the EU. As a consumer, you are legally required to
return all used batteries of any type. It is forbidden
to dispose of batteries in domestic waste. The
manufacturer is obliged to take back used and old
batteries free of charge as per Section 9 German
Batteries Act. You thus meet statutory obligations
and help to protect the environment. The pedelec,
battery, motor, display screen and charger are
recyclable materials. You must dispose of and
recycle them separately from the domestic waste
in compliance with applicable statutory
regulations. Sorted waste collection and recycling
saves on raw material reserves and ensures that
all the regulations for health and environmental
protection are met when the product and/or the
battery are recycled.
 Never dismantle the pedelec, batteries or
charger for disposal.
 The pedelec, display screen, the unopened
and undamaged battery and the charger can
be returned to any specialist dealer free of
charge. Depending on the region, further
disposal options may be available.
Store the individual parts of the decommissioned
pedelec in a dry place, free from frost, where they
are protected from direct sunlight.
