Despite a perfectly set up chain
gear system, a pedelec chain cross-
ing at an angle can lead to noises
during riding. These noises are normal and
do not cause any damage to the gear com-
ponents. With less angled running of the
pedelec chain in a different gear, this noise
will no longer appear.
The use of spoke guards is recom-
mended and may be mandatory in
some cases. Otherwise, only minor
setup errors could lead to the pedelec chain
or the entire rear derailleur falling between
the sprockets and the spokes.

Electrical/electronic gear shifting system
If your pedelec is equipped with an electronic
gear-shifting system, please read the attached
manufacturer's instruction manual concerning
the use and maintenance of this component.
Allow a specialist retailer to work on the electron-
ic circuit. Ask a specialist retailer to inform you
about the use and maintenance of this part.
Inspection plan
Only exchange or replace parts of
your pedelec with parts of the same
brand and type. Otherwise, warran-
ties or guarantees may be voided.
Modern pedelec technology is high-
ly efficient but sensitive.
You should service your pedelec on
a regular basis. This requires specialist
knowledge and special tools. Have your
specialist retailer perform any work on your
pedelec! You can get more information
about your pedelec's parts as well as clean-
ing and maintenance in the operating manu-
al provided by your manufacturer or on the
manufacturer's website.
Work which you are able to carry out yourself
with no risk to safety is printed in bold. Sustaina-
ble safe function and retention of warranty claims
require that you:
• Clean your pedelec after every ride and check
it for possible damage.
• Allow a specialist retailer to carry out inspec-
tions.
• Check your pedelec every 300 – 500 km or
every three to six months.
• Check that all screws, nuts and quick releases
are secure.
• Use a torque wrench to tighten any screws!
• Service and lubricate the movable parts (ex-
cept the brake surfaces) according to manu-
facturer information.
• Have paintwork touched up.
• Have deficient and worn parts replaced.
