Overview

3.2 Proper use

The bicycle may only be used in a perfect, fully

functional condition. National requirements may

apply to the bicycle which differ from the standard

equipment. For riding on public roads, some

special regulations apply in relation to the riding

light, reflectors and other components.

The general laws and the regulations for the

prevention of accidents and environmental

protection in the respective country of use must be

adhered to. All check lists and instructions for

actions in these operating instructions must be

observed. Approved accessories can be installed

by specialist staff.

Each bicycle is assigned a bicycle type, which

determines its proper use, function and area of

use.

Mountain bikes Racing bicycle Cargo bike Folding bicycle

City and trekking

bicycles are designed

for daily, comfortable

use. They are suita-

ble for riding on public

roads.

The legal guardians

of minor riders must

read and understand

these operating

instructions before

putting the bicycle

into use.

The content of these

operating instruc-

tions must be com-

municated to the

riders in an age-

appropriate manner.

The cycles for chil-

dren and young

adults are suitable for

riding on public

roads. The size of the

cycle must be

checked regularly for

orthopaedic reasons.

A check must be

made at least every

three months to make

sure that the maxi-

mum permitted total

weight is being

observed.

Mountain bikes are

designed for sporting

use. The design char-

acteristics include a

short wheelbase, a

sitting position with

the rider inclined

towards the front, and

a brake requiring low

actuation force.

A mountain bike is a

piece of sporting

equipment. It requires

an adaptation period

as well as physical fit-

ness. Use requires

the appropriate train-

ing; in particular rid-

ing in bends and

braking should be

practised.

The strain on the

rider, in particular the

hands and wrists,

arms, shoulders,

neck and back, is

accordingly high.

Inexperienced riders

tend to brake exces-

sively and lose con-

trol as a result.

A racing bicycle is

designed for fast

rides on roads and

paths with a good,

undamaged road sur-

face.

A racing bicycle is a

piece of sporting

equipment and not a

means of transport. A

racing bicycle is char-

acterised by its light-

weight structure and

a design which is

stripped to the mini-

mum parts required

for riding.

The frame geometry

and the layout of the

operating elements

are designed in such

a way that the bicy-

cle can be ridden at

high speeds. The

frame design requires

practice to ensure the

ride is able to ride

slowly, apply the

brakes and get on

and off the bike

safely.

The sitting position is

athletic. The strain on

the rider, in particular

the hands and wrists,

arms, shoulders,

neck and back, is

accordingly high. The

sitting position there-

fore requires physi-

cal fitness.

The cargo bike is suit-

able for daily trans-

portation of loads on

public roads.

The transportation of

loads requires skill

and physical fitness

in order to balance

the additional weight.

The very varied load-

ing conditions and

weight distributions

require special prac-

tice and skill when

braking and riding in

bends.

A longer period is

required to adaptation

to the length, width

and turning circle.

You need to be cau-

tious when riding a

cargo bike. You must

pay attention to the

traffic on public roads

and the condition of

the route accordingly.

The folding bicycle is

suitable for use on

public roads.

A folding bicycle can

be folded up and is

thus suitable for

space-saving trans-

portation, for example

on public transport or

in a car.

The folding function

of the folding bicycle

makes it necessary to

use smaller wheels

and longer brake

cables and Bowden

cables. Therefore, in

case of an increased

load, a reduction in

riding stability and

braking power, dimin-

ished comfort and

reduced durability are

to be expected.
