Safety Information; Legal Principles; Meaning For The Rider - Derby cycle impulse Guía Rápida

1 Safety information

• Always use a suitable bicycle helmet
and wear it correctly.
• Observe the applicable traffic regula-
tions.
• 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.
You could burn yourself.
• If risk-free operation of your Pedelec
cannot be assumed, take it out of op-
eration and make sure it cannot be used
until you have it checked by a special-
ist 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 ap-
pliances. If children are present, keep
a close eye on them, especially if there
is a possibility they could insert objects
into the appliance through apertures in
the housing. This poses the danger of
fatal electric shock.
• When charging the battery, make abso-
lutely sure the charger is correctly sup-
ported on its four feet. It must not be
covered when in operation. It must be
possible for the heat produced to dis-
sipate via the surrounding ventilation
slots on the top and bottom.
• If you are transporting your Pedelec
by car, remove the battery beforehand.
Transport the battery in a suitable
transport container separately from the
Pedelec.

2 Legal principles

In some EU countries, the Pedelec, like
all other bikes, must comply with certain
regulations, the Road Traffic Licensing
Regulations (StVZO) in Germany for exam-
ple. Please observe the relevant explana-
tions and general information provided in
the General User Manual.

2.1 Meaning for the rider

• You do not legally have to wear a hel-
met. In the interest of your own safety,
however, you should never ride without
a helmet.
• You do not legally have to have a driv-
ing license (unless you own a model
with pushing assistance).
