Only externally accessible battery compartments (generally for button cell batteries) may
be opened. The display housing must not be opened to remove a fixed rechargeable
battery.
Fixed rechargeable batteries in displays are generally lithium-ion batteries and therefore
hazardous waste. They must not be disposed of in household waste, and must be taken
to a municipal collection point or a recycling centre instead.
This also applies to replaced batteries which can no longer be used due to wear or a
defect. Please also refer to the “Safety notes / Rechargeable battery safety notes” chapter.
Commercially available single-use batteries can be taken to a municipal collection point
or a recycling centre, and can also placed in battery collection boxes which are available
in various shops or stores.
After removing any single-use or rechargeable batteries, the remainder of the cycle is classed
as waste electrical and electronic equipment and must be sent for recycling separately.
Your dealer, the municipal collection point or a recycling centre can assist you here.
7.3 Electronic components and accessories
Replaced or defective LED headlamps, LED rear lamps or hub dynamos, as well as
accessories such as bike computers or navigation devices, must also be disposed of
separately.
Take parts and devices of this kind to a municipal collection point or a recycling centre.
7.4 Packaging
The packaging used to protect your cycle during shipping, called transport packaging,
can generally be left with your dealer. All other types of packaging must be sorted and
disposed of separately. Dispose of cardboard along with waste paper and film in your
recycling collection, or ask your dealer about disposal.
7.5 Tyres and inner tubes
Tyres and inner tubes must not be disposed of in household waste.
Ask your dealer whether they take care of collection and disposal, or take these items to
a recycling centre or municipal collection point.
7.6 Lubricants and care products
Do not dispose of lubricants and care products in household waste, into the sewer system
or into the environment. They must be taken to a hazardous waste collection point.
Also follow the notes included on the lubricant and care product packaging.
