1. General safety information
Comply with the safety and user instructions at the start of the following
sections.
DANGER
We discourage allowing children under the age of 14 years to ride
pedelecs. They may not be able to cope with the speed. It can result in
serious accidents and falls.
Wear a cycle helmet. While there is no legal obligation to wear one,
you should always wear a suitable cycle helmet for your own safety.
A cycle helmet can protect you from severe injuries. Make sure the
helmet is correctly positioned.

accident. Take into consideration the longer braking distances needed
on wet or icy roads. Think ahead, anticipating the actions of other
road users and reduce your speed. Avoid sudden jerky movements of
the handlebars and braking actions. Dismount if you are unsure about
a situation.
Only use the bicycle for its intended purpose  VI. Intended purpose
P. EN-10, otherwise it can lead to component failure. If that happens
while you are riding the bike you could be severely injured or killed.
DANGER
Inspect your pedelec before every trip, and after each time it has
been transported anywhere or has been left unattended  4. Before
every trip P. EN-30. If wear and damage are not detected in good time,
components may fail. If that happens while you are riding the bike
you could be severely injured or killed. Due to the additional power,
wearing parts on a pedelec are subject to more stress than a normal
bike. Have worn, damaged or bent components replaced before you
use the bike again.
Do not exceed the total weight of the pedelec, because it can lead to
the fracture or failure of safety-relevant parts  VII.I Total weight
P. EN-11. If this happens while you are riding the bike, it can lead to
severe falls – with fatal consequences.
Contact your cycle dealer when it is necessary to replace wearing
parts and other  II.III Service book P. EN-6 components. We recom-
mend that all assembly and adjustment work is carried out by your
DCW/RU dealer, as incorrect assembly could cause components to
become loose. If that happens while you are riding the bike you could
be severely injured or killed. If you do have to tighten something, you

Only use original replacement parts. Replacement parts from other
manufacturers can impair the function of your pedelec. It can result in
serious accidents.
