Riding on the rear wheel does not represent intended use. When using a cargo pedelec such as the e-muli st or e-muli px, the rider‘s body may be exposed to vibrations. When riding a cargo pedelec, vibrations can be transmit- ted in particular via the buttocks to the back and passed on to the entire body.
Legal requirements To use the e-muli on public roads, you must comply with the applicable legal requirements of the country in which you intend to travel. Inform yourself about the corresponding country-specific laws. In Germany, the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) stipulate three points: 1.

Press the key again to deactivate the drive and the LED display goes out. The e-muli is also functional with the electric drive deactivated.

Always apply both brakes simultaneously when braking. Especially the use of the front brake alone is to be avoided on the e-muli due to the wide distance between handlebar and front wheel.
