Therefore, before setting off on your new SCOTT bike, you should read at least
the chapter "Tests before your first ride". To ensure as much fun and safety as
possible during cycling, be sure to carry out the functional check described in
the chapter "Tests before every ride" before setting off on your SCOTT bike.
Even a manual as detailed as an encyclopaedia could not describe every pos-
sible combination of available bicycle models and components. The translation
of these original SCOTT operating instructions therefore focuses on your newly
purchased SCOTT bike or SCOTT pedelec and standard components and pro-
vides useful information and warnings for the handling of your new SCOTT bike.
When doing any adjusting and servicing (a), be aware that the detailed instruc-
tions provided in your manual only refer to this SCOTT bike.
The information included here is not applicable to any other bicycle type. As
bicycles come in a wide variety of designs with frequent model changes, the
routines described may require complementary information. It is essential to
also observe the manuals of the component manufacturers and the system
instructions of your drive manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
Be aware that these instructions may require further explanation, depending on
the experience and/or skills of the person doing the work. For some jobs you
may require additional (special) tools (b) or supplementary instructions. This
manual cannot teach you the skills of a bicycle mechanic.
NOTE!
This SCOTT info CD includes the manuals of the component manufacturers,
I
the system instructions of your drive manufacturer as well as the relevant
web links.

Before you set off, let us point out a few things to you that are very important to
every cyclist: Never ride without a properly adjusted helmet and without glasses
(c). Make sure to wear suitable, bright clothing. As a minimum you should wear
straight cut trousers and or leg bands and shoes fitting the pedal system (d).
Always ride carefully on public roads and observe the traffic rules so as not to
endanger yourself or others.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride. Be aware that cycling is a potentially
dangerous activity that requires the rider to stay in control of his or her SCOTT
bike at all times. When setting off on a SCOTT pedelec, keep in mind that the
drive boosts your cycling speed. If necessary, attend a beginners course for
cyclists or pedelec riders, as already offered here and there.
Like any sport, cycling involves the risk of injury and damage. By choosing to
ride a bike, you assume the responsibility for the risk. Note that on a bike you
have no protection technique around you like you have in a car (e.g. bodywork,
ABS, airbag). Therefore, always ride carefully and respect the other traffic par-
ticipants.
Never ride under the influence of drugs, medication, alcohol or when you are
tired. Do not ride with a second person on your SCOTT bike and never ride with-
out having both hands on the handlebars.
Observe the legal regulations concerning off-road cycling and public roads.
These regulations may differ in each country.
Respect nature when riding through the forest and in the open countryside.
Only use your bike on signposted, well maintained trails and hard-surface roads
(e).
Always bear in mind that you travel rapidly and quietly when you are riding
a SCOTT pedelec. Do not startle pedestrians or other cyclists. Always make
others aware of your presence well ahead of time and by ringing your bell (f) or
make use of the brakes so as to avoid accidents. Familiarize yourself with your
SCOTT pedelec.
