Requirements for the rider

If there are no legal requirements for riders of
electrically power-assisted cycles, we recommend that
the rider should be a minimum 14 years of age and
have experience with muscle-powered bicycles.
The rider's physical and mental abilities must be
adequate to use a muscle-powered bicycle.

Hazards for vulnerable groups

The battery and the charger must be kept out of the
reach of children.
If the bicycle is used by minors, comprehensive
instruction should be provided by or in the presence of
the legal guardians. Supervised use should also be
scheduled until it is certain that the bicycle is being
used as per these operating instructions. Legal
guardians hold sole responsibility for determining
whether minors are capable of using the bicycle.

Personal protective equipment

We recommend that you wear a suitable safety
helmet. We also recommend that you wear typical,
long, close-fitting cycling clothing and sturdy footwear.
