• Read and observe the safety warnings and directions contained in all the eBike system operating instructions and in the operating instructions of your eBike.
• Do not attempt to secure the display or operating unit while riding.
• Do not allow yourself to be distracted by the on-board computer’s display. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being involved in an accident. If you want to make entries in your on-board computer other than switching the assistance level, stop and enter the appropriate data.
• Do not use your smartphone while riding. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being involved in an accident. Only enter the relevant data having stopped first.
• Set the display brightness so that you can adequately see important information such as speed and warning symbols. Incorrectly set display brightness may lead to dangerous situations.
• Do not open the on-board computer. Opening the on-board computer may damage it beyond repair and void any warranty claims.
• Do not use the on-board computer as a handle. Lifting the eBike up by the on-board computer can cause irreparable damage to the on-board computer.
• Do not stand your bicycle upside down on its saddle and handlebars if the on-board computer or its holder protrudes from the handlebars. This may irreparably damage the on-board computer or the holder. Also remove the on-board computer before placing the bicycle on a wall mount to ensure that the on-board computer does not fall off or become damaged.

Safety information relating to the navigation system

• Do not plan your routes whilst you are cycling. Stop and wait until you are stationary before entering a new destination. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being involved in an accident.
• Abandon your route if the navigation system suggests a path or road that is too ambitious, risky or dangerous for you based on your cycling ability. Have your navigation system propose an alternative route.
• Do not ignore any road signs, even if the navigation system tells you to take a specific route. The navigation system cannot take roadworks or temporary diversions into account.
• Do not use the navigation system in situations that are safety-critical or unclear (road closures, diversions, etc.). Always carry extra maps and means of communication with you.
