6.3 Carbon: general safety information

Carbon is a material which is rust-free, very light and

stable, but which does however require special care.

Typical components made from carbon bre can for

example include handlebars, front stems, seat posts and

saddle rails, cranks, frames and forks. Let your dealer

show you how to deal with this material.

Warnings

Serious falls and accidents caused by broken

components.

▪Carbon components must no longer be used if they

are cracked or broken.

▪Never expose carbon components to high

temperatures! Temperatures which are detrimental

to the safety of components can be reached even

in a vehicle left in strong sunlight. If you are not

absolutely sure about the intact condition of a

carbon component, have the aected part checked at

a specialist workshop, and replaced if necessary.

Caution

Slight injury caused by carbon splinters.

▪ Carbon bres are very thin and hard. Damaged

carbon parts should therefore be handled with great

care. Individual bres can peel o and protrude. You

run the risk of injury from small splinters, should

these come into contact with your skin.

7. Legal requirements for use on public

roads

If you use your bicycle on public roads, you must

satisfy legal requirements. Violations are classed as

misdemeanours, and are punishable by nes. The following

regulations, inter alia, were applicable at the time that

these operating instructions were prepared (06/2021):

7.1 Bicycle (motorless)/Pedelec

In Europe, Pedelecs are legally classied as bicycles

with no motor if the motor has a rated continuous output

of 250 Watt, supporting pedalling up to approximately

25 km/h before switching o support at speeds in excess

of this. Therefore, Pedelecs and their riders on public roads

are subject to the same requirements as motorless bicycles.

So, you don’t need a driving licence, or insurance for

your Pedelec. While there is no legal obligation to wear a

helmet, you should always wear a suitable helmet for your

own safety when underway.

7.1.1 Operating regulations

If you want to ride on a public road, your bicycle

(motorless) or Pedelec must at least be tted with the

following components:

▪Brake system

▪Bell

▪Lighting device

In Germany, for example, the following lighting devices

are required (StVZO §67): One white spotlight, one red rear

light, two yellow reectors on each of the pedals and two

yellow reectors per wheel (alternatively, white reecting

rings on the tyres or rims).

In addition, further requirements are covered in

national legislation governing operating regulations

 7.3 Operating regulations on the Internet Page EN-14.

If components which are required by law in your country

are not tted to your bicycle, you must retrot these

before travelling on public roads.

7.1.2 Rules of conduct

If you travel on public roads with your bicycle (motorless)/

Pedelec, you must also comply with certain rules as a rider.

In addition to specic national requirements,  7.4 Rules

of conduct on the Internet Page EN-14 these normally include:

▪Due consideration for other road users.

▪ Do not ride under the inuence of alcohol or drugs.

▪Do not ride “hands free”.

▪ Stop when the trac light is red.

▪Use cycle paths.

▪Always ride on the proper side

of the road. However, if a cycle

path is only available on the

other side of the street and

this is marked with a trac

sign with a bicycle, you must

use this.

7.2 S-Pedelec

In Europe, S-Pedelecs are legally classied as Class L1e

mopeds. The operating and behavioural regulations

applicable on public roads dier from those for motorless

bicycles and Pedelecs:

7.2.1 Operating regulations

If you want to use your S-Pedelec on public roads,

you must satisfy the following, inter alia:

▪ You require an EU Certicate of Conformity

 4.4 S-Pedelec: EU Certificate of Conformity Page EN-10.

▪Riders must have insurance. An illuminated (insurance)

number plate is also required.

▪You need a Class AM driving licence at least.

▪ A horn, mirror and side stand must be tted to the

S-Pedelec.

▪ The S-Pedelec must be tted with a white spotlight and

red rear light. The spotlight and rear light must always

be lit while riding. Two yellow reectors must also be

tted to each of the pedals and two yellow reectors per

wheel (alternatively, white reecting rings on the tyres

or rims). In addition, S-Pedelecs also require yellow side

reectors, which are normally tted to the fork.
