Read and observe the safety warnings and directions
u
contained in all the eBike system operating instruc-
tions and in the operating instructions of your eBike.
Do not attempt to secure the on-board computer or
u
operating unit while riding!
The push assistance function must only be used when
u
pushing the eBike. There is a risk of injury if the wheels
of the eBike are not in contact with the ground while using
the push assistance.
When the push assistance is activated, the pedals may
u
turn at the same time. When the push assistance func-
tion is activated, make sure that there is enough space
between your legs and the turning pedals to avoid the risk
of injury.
When using the walk assistance, make sure that you
u
can control the eBike and that you can hold it securely
at all times. Under certain circumstances, the walk as-
sistance may stop (e.g. if the pedals hit an obstacle or if
you accidentally let go of the button on the operating
unit). The eBike may suddenly move backwards onto you
or tip up. This presents a risk for the user particularly if
there is additional load on the eBike. When using the walk
assistance, do not bring the eBike into situations in which
you cannot hold the eBike using your own strength.
Do not stand your eBike upside down on its handle-
u
bars and saddle if the operating unit or its holder pro-
trude from the handlebars. This may irreparably dam-
age the operating unit or the holder.
Do not connect a charger to the eBike battery if the
u
display for the operating unit or on-board computer
reports a critical error. This may result in damage to
your eBike battery. The eBike battery may catch fire,
thereby resulting in serious burns and other injuries.
The operating unit features a wireless interface. Local
u
operating restrictions, e.g. in aeroplanes or hospitals,
must be observed.

u
this may cause interference that affects other devices and
systems, aeroplanes and medical devices (e.g. pace-
makers, hearing aids). Likewise, injury to people and an-
imals in the immediate vicinity cannot be excluded en-
tirely. Do not use the operating unit with Bluetooth® in the
vicinity of medical devices, petrol stations, chemical
