• Remove the battery before cleaning your
pedelec.
• Ensure that you do not touch or acciden-
tally connect contacts when cleaning or
maintaining the battery. You are at risk of
injuring yourself or damaging the battery if
these are live.
• Cleaning with a high-pressure device may
result in damage to the electrical system.
The high pressure can cause cleaning flu-
id to seep into sealed parts and damage
them.
• Avoid damaging cables and electrical
parts. When this occurs, the pedelec must
be decommissioned until a specialist re-
tailer has examined it!
Wear and tear and warranty
The pedelec and all mechanical
parts are subject to wear, tear and
heavy use. Different materials and
parts may react differently to wear or perma-
nent strain. If a component is used for longer
than it is designed for, it may suddenly stop
working and possibly lead to injury or cause
additional damage. Any kind of tear, punc-
ture or colour change seen in an highly used
area indicates that the component's use has
reached its limit; the component should in
this case be replaced.

Keep in mind that pedelec parts are subject to
greater wear than those of a bicycle without an
additional drive. This is due to the greater weight
of the vehicle and the higher average speed that
is achieved through the propulsion. This higher
level of wear is not a material defect and is not
subject to warranty.
Typical parts affected by this are:
• Tires
• Brake pads
• Components of the drive
• Spokes
The battery is subject to ageing and is therefore
also a wearable part. Please note that the battery
gradually loses its capacity depending on its age
and operating life. Take this into account when
planning journeys and ensure that you switch to
a new battery in good time. Replacement bat-
teries are available from your specialist pedelec
retailer.
Adjusting the pedelec to the rider
The seat post, seat, stem and handlebars can
be tightened and secured with quick releases or
bolted connections.
For detailed information, please
read the operating instructions sup-
plied by the manufacturer. Only
specialists should work on your handlebars
and stem.
Possible positions for adjusting bolted connections
Possible positions of quick releases and through axles
