By following the instructions listed below for safe riding in road traffic, you
can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries when riding a bicycle or e-bike.
The term "road traffic" also refers to publicly accessible
private areas and publicly accessible field or forest paths.
► Only ride your e-bike in road traffic if the equipment complies with
national road traffic regulations. If appropriate, ask your e-bike manu-
facturer for further information.
► Find out about the applicable road traffic regulations of the country or
region, including for example, from the Ministry of Transport. Always
keep yourself informed regarding changes in the content of the valid
regulations.
► Observe and follow the country-specific and regional road traffic regu-
lations.
► When riding, use a suitable bicycle helmet that complies with the coun-
try-specific and regional regulations or that is tested according to the
DIN EN 1078 standard and bears the CE mark.

cants or medication that could impair your ability to ride safely.
