Do not touch the brake discs
immediately after a descent.
Let the brake discs cool down
before touching them.

To check the temperature, tap
the respective component very
briefly with your naked finger: If
it feels hot, wait a few minutes
and repeat the test until the
component has cooled down.

With regard to a possible risk
of burns on contact with com‐
ponents of the electric drive,
please refer to the information
in the manufacturer's instruc‐
tions for the electric drive.

tenance help to maintain the

ular cleaning and care as well

2.3 Residual risks

Naturally, you cannot take every danger into account
and therefore cannot avoid every dangerous situation.
Even if all safety instructions are taken into account,
unavoidable residual risks remain for you as cyclist of
your Trike Hybrid, e.g.:
■
Unexpected cycling manoeuvres or misconduct of
other road users
■
Sudden changes in the road surface (e.g. due to
black ice)
■
Unforeseen material defects/unforeseen wear and
tear can lead to material breakage or malfunctions
