Transport, storage and disposal

7.1

Transport by car

The best and safest way to transport your bike is inside a car. This way, your bike is perfectly protected from the elements
and from theft. When removing the wheels, make sure to fit a protective spacer between the dropouts of frame or fork.
7.2

Transport on a hitch or roof rack

Rims must be padded before fitting lashing straps or ratchet systems.
When transporting several bikes on a hitch or roof rack, please make sure that there is sufficient space or padding
between the bikes.
Child seats must be removed before transport.
Please also note the instructions of the bike rack manufacturer.
7.3

Recharging the battery before and during storage

When not using the battery for a longer period, charge it to approximately 60%. Check the charge level again after
6 months. If the battery level falls below 30%, recharge the battery to around 60%.
Note: Storing an empty battery pack for a longer period may damage the battery despite its low self-discharge and reduce
the battery capacity. It is not recommended to have the battery pack permanently connected to the charger.
7.4

Bike storage

You should park your bike using an appropriate cycle stand which ideally only holds the rear wheel. Make sure to check
the tyre pressure when the bike has stood for a long time. You should not park your bike for longer periods of time with no
air in the tyres.
7.5

Bike shipping

The e-bike can be pushed into the bike box for shipping.
1. Turn the handlebar down.
2. Turn the handlebar through 90 degrees.
3. Fasten all loose or movable parts or wrap them sufficiently. Sharp or pointed components should be wrapped
additionally to make sure they won't damage other parts of your bike and won't tear through the outer packaging.
4. Position the cardboard box at the rear on the side of the rear derailleur.
5. Protect the top tube from damages through the handlebar by using appropriate material (e.g. foam tubing).
