5. Be careful when transporting a RIDE+ bike.
• An E-bike is heavier than a normal bike. If transporting on a vehicle, be aware of the maximum load capacity of the vehicle's roof,
towing hook and/or of the applied bike carrier. Refer to the manual of the vehicle and bike carrier for details.
• Remove the controller, battery pack and, if present, panniers from the bicycle and store them elsewhere in the vehicle during
the drive.
• Always respect local laws about transportation of a(n electric) bicycle.
• Because Li-Ion battery packs of this size and power are considered 'Dangerous goods, class 9' when transporting, regulations
may restrict the transport of separate Li-Ion batteries in some places. The restrictions apply to most airlines and some trucking
companies. But, if you intend to ship or travel with your complete RIDE+ bike (with installed battery pack), the regulations are
less strict. Make sure to check ahead with your airline or carrier, before booking your trip, if it is allowed to travel with your
complete RIDE+ bike.
6. Visit your dealer on a regular basis for maintenance of your new bike.
• To guarantee the safe and proper functioning of the bike, the bike must be maintained on a regular basis, at least once a
year, by an authorized RIDE+ dealer.
• Your dealer has the right knowledge and equipment to maintain your RIDE+ bike.
• If you have questions about your new RIDE+ bicycle, ask your dealer!
