INFORMATION FOR PROPER HANDLING OF THE
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Remove the rechargeable battery (d), if you do not use your BERGAMONT
pedelec for a longer period of time (e.g. during the winter season). Store the
rechargeable battery in a dry room at temperatures between 5 and 20 degrees
Celsius. The state of charge should be 50 to 70 % of the charging capacity.
Check the state of charge (e), if the rechargeable battery is left unused for more
than two months and recharge it in between, if necessary, to 50 %, i.e. until half
of the LEDs.
Clean the battery housing with a dry or, if at all, a slightly moist rag. Do not
direct the water jet of a high-pressure cleaner at the rechargeable battery
or submerge the battery into water, as there is a risk of water entry and/or
short-circuit.
For more information on the proper handling of your rechargeable battery see
the system instructions of your drive manufacturer on this BERGAMONT info CD.
DANGER!
H
Charge your battery only with the supplied charger (f). Do not use the
charger of any other manufacturer, not even when the connector of the
charger matches your rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery can heat
up, catch fire or even explode!
DANGER!
H
Keep the rechargeable battery and the charger out of the reach of children!
DANGER!
H
Towing child trailers or mounting and using child carriers is not permitted
for BERGAMONT speed pedelecs.
DANGER!
H
When riding a BERGAMONT speed pedelec wearing a suitable helmet
(a) is compulsory in Germany and Switzerland. Check the regulations on
wearing helmets in your country. Ask your BERGAMONT dealer about suitable
BERGAMONT helmets for BERGAMONT speed pedelecs.
DANGER!
H
Pull the brake lever of the rear wheel brake (b) and stop pedalling. The
pedelec stops. Emergency stop! The shortest possible stopping distance is
achieved by braking with both brakes simultaneously and gradually (see chap-
ter “Brakes”).
DANGER!
H
For your own safety, always ride your BERGAMONT speed pedelec with the
light switched on (c), wear bright clothing as well as a suitable helmet and
glasses.
DANGER!
H
If a component needs to be replaced, make it a rule to only use original
spare parts. Wearing parts of other manufacturers, e.g. brake pads or tyres
that are not of identical size, may cause harm to the safety of your BERGAMONT
pedelec or BERGAMONT speed pedelec. Risk of accident! In the case of
BERGAMONT speed pedelecs be sure to only assemble original spare parts,
otherwise the operating licence expires.
CAUTION!
S
Be aware that the brakes of your BERGAMONT speed pedelec are al-
ways more effective than the drive. If you face any problems with your
drive (e.g. because it pushes you forward in front of a bend), slow down your
BERGAMONT speed pedelec carefully.
NOTE!
U
The regulations and rules for pedelecs and speed pedelecs are being re-
vised constantly. Read the daily press to keep you informed about current
legislative changes.
