›

As this motor is more powerful, you may be rid-

ing at a much higher speed than you are used to 

on your normal bike. Take this into account when 

familiarising yourself with your fast Pedelec.

›

Bear in mind that the Pedelec motor can heat up 

on long ascents. Be careful not to touch it with 

your hands, feet or legs as you could burn your-

self.

›

The Pedelec operates using low voltage 

(25.2 volts). Never attempt to operate the Pe-

delec using power from a source other than a 

suitable genuine battery. The designations of ap-

proved batteries are listed in Chapter 11 "Techni-

cal data".

›

Live parts may be exposed when you open covers 

or remove parts. Connection points may also be 

live. Maintenance or repairs on the device when 

it is open and connected to the power supply 

must only be carried out by the specialist cycle 

shop.

›

When carrying out adjustments and maintenance 

or when cleaning the Pedelec, avoid crushing 

cables or damaging them with sharp edges.

›

If risk-free operation of your Pedelec cannot be 

assumed, take it out of operation and make sure 

it cannot be used until you have it checked by a 

specialist cycle shop. Risk-free operation is no 

longer possible if live parts or the rechargeable 

battery show signs of damage.

›

Keep children away from electrical appliances. If 

children are present, keep a close eye on them, 

especially if they could insert objects into the ap-

pliance through apertures in the housing as this 

poses the danger of fatal electric shock.
