The drive is not approved for steam cleaning, high-pressure cleaning or
cleaning with a water hose. The contact of water with the electronics or the
drive can destroy the units. The individual drive components can be cleaned
with a soft rag and neutral detergents. You may use a moist rag, but not exces-
sive water. Do not submerge the rechargeable battery!

SHELTERING AND STORING YOUR BERGAMONT BIKE OR
BERGAMONT PEDELEC
If you regularly look after your BERGAMONT bike during the season, you will
not need to take any special measures when storing it for a short time, apart
from securing it against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well aerated place.
If you want to store your BERGAMONT bike for a longer period of time, e.g.
over the winter months, please observe the following things: Inflated inner
tubes tend to gradually lose air when the bike is not used for a long time. If your
BERGAMONT bike is left standing on flat tyres for an extended period, this can
cause damage to the structure of the tyres. It is therefore better to hang the
wheels or the entire BERGAMONT bike (b) or to check the tyre pressure regu-
larly (c). Clean your BERGAMONT bike and protect it against corrosion (d). Your
BERGAMONT dealer offers a variety of care products, such as spray wax etc.
Remove the seat post (e) and let moisture that may have entered dry. Use a
suitable grease on a metal seat tube and a metal seat post. Do not apply grease
on a carbon seat tube (f) or a carbon seat post, but carbon compound grease.
Shift the gear to the smallest chainring and the smallest sprocket. This relaxes
the cables and the springs.
NOTE!
I
There are hardly any waiting times at your BERGAMONT dealer dur-
ing the winter months. In addition, many BERGAMONT dealers offer an
annual check-up at a special price. Benefit from the idle time and ask your
BERGAMONT dealer to do the scheduled maintenance work!
DANGER!
G
Remove the rechargeable battery or the display before doing any work on
your BERGAMONT pedelec (e.g. servicing, repairs, assembly, maintenance,
work on your drive etc.). Activating the drive systems unintentionally bears the
risk of injury!
DANGER!
G
While cleaning, watch out for cracks, scratches, dents as well as deformed
or discoloured material. Have defective components replaced immediate-
ly and touch up paint defects. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your BERGAMONT dealer.
CAUTION!
A
Do not clean your BERGAMONT bike with a high-pressure cleaner or a
water jet and if you do, be sure to keep it at a distance. Do not aim at the
bearings.
CAUTION!
A
Only use petroleum-based solvents for cleaning tough oil or grease stains
from paint and carbon surfaces. Never use degreasing agents containing
acetone, methyl chloride or the like, or solvent-containing, non-neutral or chem-
ical cleaning agents that could attack the surface!
CAUTION!
S
Keep in mind that the auxiliary drive of your BERGAMONT pedelec may
lead to partly higher wear than you are used to. This applies in particular to
the brakes and the tyres and in the case of mid-mounted motors to the chain
and the sprockets.
CAUTION!
S
A rechargeable battery that has reached the end of its service life must
not be disposed of with normal household rubbish (a). Bring the recharge-
able battery to the dealer, where you buy your new one. If in doubt, ask your
BERGAMONT dealer.
CAUTION!
S
Note that in the case of BERGAMONT speed pedelecs only certain compo-
nents are allowed to be replaced to ensure insurance cover. Be sure to only
use original spare parts.
