Be absolutely sure to read the warning
notes
Read all warnings and notes in this user manual with
care before you operate the e-bike for the first time.
This user manual is a supplementary manual and
integral part of the e-bike user manual. Keep all user
manuals so that they are handy and available at all times.
Include the user manual when passing the e-bike on to third
parties.
Labelling of warning notes
The sense of the warning notes is to draw your attention to
potential hazards. Your complete attention is required for the
warning notes; the statements must be understood completely.
Failure to follow a warning note may result in injury to yourself
or other persons. The warning notes alone cannot prevent
dangers. Follow all warning notes to avoid a risk when using
the e-bike.
There are safety notes in the following categories:
WARNING
The signal word “Warning” designates a hazard with
moderate degree of risk which may lead to death or
severe injury if not avoided.
CAUTION
The signal word “Caution” designates a hazard with low
degree of risk, which may lead to minor or moderate
injury if not avoided.
NOTICE
The signal word “Notice” warns against potential damages to property.

Rechargeable battery
WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion!
Internal damages to the rechargeable battery may cause
the rechargeable battery to overheat, emit gases or
leak liquids even a significant amount of time after the
damage occurred.
• Have your specialist bicycle dealer inspect the
rechargeable battery after falls or severe impacts.
• Do not open, dismantle, drill through or deform the
rechargeable battery.
WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion!
Rechargeable batteries that have caught fire are very difficult to extinguish; the cells affected must burn down in
a controlled manner. Responding properly may prevent
severe damages.
• Read the chapter “In an emergency” so that you are
properly prepared.
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Lithium could be leaked if the rechargeable battery is
damaged. Lithium causes severe burns to the skin.
• Do not touch the damaged rechargeable batteries with
bare hands.
NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improperly charging the rechargeable battery can damage the rechargeable battery and the drive.
• Do not charge the rechargeable battery if you suspect
that it is damaged.
• Before charging the rechargeable battery for the first
time, be absolutely sure to read the chapter “Charging
the rechargeable battery”.
• Only use the original charger to charge the rechargeable battery and only under supervision.
• While charging the rechargeable battery, always
place it on non-flammable materials (e.g. stone, glass,
ceramics).

Charger
WARNING
Risk to life!
Incorrect handling of electrical current and corresponding components poses a risk to life due to electric shock.
• Check the charger, mains cord and mains plug for
damage before each use.
• If you identify or suspect damages, do not use the
charger.
• Only use the charger indoors.
• Only connect the charger to a properly installed voltage supply “220 to 240 V ~ (50 Hz)”.

WARNING
Continuation
• While charging, always place the charger on non-flammable materials (e.g. stone, ceramics).
• Do not open, dismantle, drill through or deform the
charger.
• Only have the charger repaired by qualified professionals with original spare parts.
• Only use the charger to charge the original rechargeable battery or equivalent replacement rechargeable
batteries.
• Always pull the mains plug out of the socket after use.
• Read the additional safety notes on the housing of the
charger.
• If applicable, label the charger to prevent confusion
with chargers from other manufacturers.
Residual risks
Using the e-bike is associated with the following unforeseeable
residual risks despite compliance with all safety notes:
Risk of injury
- Gases, vapours and liquids could leak out of the recharge-
able battery due to internal, invisible damages and in the
event of fire. Injuries to external and internal organs are possible, e.g. in the event of contact with skin or inhalation of
the gases (see chapter “In an emergency”).
Fire hazard
- Internal, invisible damages can cause the rechargeable bat-
tery to catch fire and ignite objects in the surrounding area
(see chapter “In an emergency”).
Risk of damage
- If the rechargeable battery catches fire, hydrofluoric acid
leaks out with the smoke gas. Hydrofluoric acid is very
corrosive and causes permanent damage to surfaces
(see chapter “In an emergency”).
