Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
Bar ends can be added to normal handlebars.
Adjustable bar ends feature a ball joint which you
can use to choose the optimum position as
required.
 Adjust bar ends correctly. To do so, your hand,
elbow and shoulder must be in line with one
another when the hand takes hold of the bar
ends.
 During the ride, keep varying your grip position
between a flat (1) and upright (2) hand
position.
 This prevents overstraining, fatigue and
numbness in your hands and fingers.

6.16.3 Using leather handles

Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
Sweat and grease from the skin are two of the
greatest enemies of leather. They penetrate the
surface of leather and cause it to disintegrate
more quickly, meaning the leather can soften and
abrade.
 Wear gloves.
Sunlight and UV light damage the colour and can
cause the leather to dry out and fade.
 Park pedelec in the shade.
Moisture may cause the leather to detach from
material beneath and mould may form.
 If the leather handles get wet, dry handles
completely.
