DANGER
Make sure the child seat is safely attached. Incorrectly installed child
seats can lead to serious accidents. Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Make sure there are no loose straps that can get caught
in the wheels. If you are really not sure how to attach the child seat
ask your DCW/RU dealer.
Make sure your child wears a good cycle helmet, otherwise a fall can
cause very serious head injuries. Explain to your child that the cycle
helmetisonlytobewornwhenridingthebikeandmustbetakeno
when the child is no longer sitting in the child seat.
Never leave a child unattended in the child seat of a parked bike. The
bike can tip over and the child can be seriously injured.
A child seat alters the ride characteristics of the bike. 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 seat. 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/unloaded child seat.
Only use child seats that conform to the respective national
regulations. In addition, they should be designed and have been
tested in accordance with DIN EN 14344. 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 child seat please consult your DCW/RU dealer.
Carry your luggage in side-mounted panniers. Distribute the
weight evenly to ensure safer riding characteristics.
6.9.4 Child seats
The use of child seats is generally permitted for the Impulse 2.0 pedelec.
But please observe the following safety instructions:
DANGER
The maximum carrying capacity of the luggage rack must not be
exceeded  6.9.3 Luggage rack P. EN-57, otherwise there is a risk it
may break causing serious injuries to the child being carried.
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.
Do not attach a child seat to the handlebars, seat post or directly to
the luggage rack. The seat post and luggage rack can break, causing
