Keep in mind that you may have to change your riding habits:
· Do not mount by placing one foot on the pedal and by trying to throw
the other leg over the saddle. The pedelec would set off suddenly. Risk
of accident.
· Stop pedalling earlier than you are used to before riding a turn or bend.
Otherwise there may be too much propulsion and your cornering speed
may be too high.
· Do not give in to the temptation to always ride in a high gear, due to
the powerful motor. Change gear frequently in the same way that you
are used to doing with a conventional bicycle
own contribution to your forward progress as efficient as possible. Your
cadence should always be in a smooth flow. In other words, you should
pedal at more than 60 crank rotations per minute. Depending on the
drive system, the speed of rotation of the cranks also has an influence
on the amount of additional assistance.
· Keep in mind that the other road users are not yet used to the new
pedelecs and their higher speeds. Ride with this fact in mind and antici-
pate the actions of other road users.
· Be aware that the speed you ride at will be clearly faster than you are
used to. Therefore, keep these facts in mind and be ready to brake
whenever an unclear or possibly dangerous situation comes into your
field of vision.

Do a test ride in an unfrequented area to make yourself familiar
with the riding characteristics of your pedelec and the possibly
higher speed and acceleration before riding on public roads.
Risk of accidents!
Do not step on the pedals before sitting in the saddle, select the
lowest level of drive assistance and be ready to brake when you
set off. Danger of an accident!
Keep in mind that due to the higher driving power at the rear
wheel, and in particular in the case of front wheel motors, the
risk of an accident increases on slippery roads (due to wetness,
snow, gravel, etc.). This applies all the more when riding bends.
Danger of an accident!
Please note that car drivers and other road users may under-
estimate your speed. Always wear bright clothing. Therefore,
always ride on public roads with this fact in mind and anticipate
the actions of other road users. Risk of accidents!
Keep in mind that pedestrians do not hear you when you ap-
proach at high speed. Therefore, ride especially defensively and
anticipating when using cycle lanes and cycle paths/footpaths
to avoid accidents. If necessary, use the bell early enough to
warn others.
Never ride without wearing a suitable helmet and glasses
and ensure that you are always wearing eyecatching, bright-
coloured clothing that is suitable for cycling.
