Furthermore, the battery can fall out of the docking station and
become damaged. Use a special battery bag that protects the battery

By car: The bike rack must be designed for the higher weight of the
pedelec VII.I Total weight P. EN-11, otherwise it can break and cause
a serious accident. It is imperative to follow the guidance of the bike

6.9.2 Trailer bikes and trailers
The use of trailer bikes and trailers is generally permitted for the Impulse
2.0 pedelec, but please observe the following safety instructions:
DANGER
Do not exceed the total weight of the pedelec, because it can lead
to the fracture or failure of safety-relevant parts. If this happens
while you are riding the bike, it can lead to severe falls – with fatal
consequences VII.I Total weight P. EN-11.
Trailer bikes and trailers alter the riding characteristics. Adapt your
riding style accordingly. If you do not adapt your riding style, you
could seriously injure or kill yourself or the child in the trailer. The
braking distance is longer, so you have to start braking earlier, and
the steering response becomes more sluggish. Practise starting,
braking, going round corners, and up and down hills, starting with an
empty trailer bike or trailer.
Only use trailer bikes and trailers that conform to the relevant national
regulations. Cycle trailers should also be designed and have been
tested in accordance with DIN EN 15918, otherwise components could
break while you are riding the bike, resulting in serious or even fatal
injuries for you and/or the child. If you are interested in purchasing a
trailer bike or trailer please consult your DCW/RU dealer.
