4.3.1

Using the transport securing system

Applicable for pedelec disc brakes only
CAUTION
!
Oil leak if no transport securing device
The brake securing device prevents the brakes
from being applied accidentally during
transportation or shipment. This could cause
irreparable damage to the brake system or an oil
leak, which will harm the environment.
 Never push the brake lever when the wheel
has been dismounted.
 Always use the transport securing system
when transporting or shipping.
 Insert the transport securing devices between
the brake linings.
 Transport securing device is squeezed
between the two linings and prevents
undesired sustained braking which can cause
brake fluid to leak out.

4.3.2

Transporting the pedelec

4.3.2.1 By car

Bicycle rack systems which use the handlebars or
frame to hold the pedelec in an upside-down
position exert inadmissible forces on its
components during transportation. This can cause
the supporting parts to break.
 Remove battery and all detachable
components (screen, bicycle pump, water
bottle and similar) from the pedelec.
 Transport the battery in a dry, clean position
where it is protected from direct sunlight.
 Never use bicycle rack systems which use the
pedelec's handlebars or frame to hold the
pedelec in an upside-down position. The
specialist dealer will give a consultation on
correct selection and safe use of a rack
system.
 Take into account the weight of the ready-to-
use pedelec when transporting it.

4.3.2.2 By train

Pedelecs can usually be transported in trains with
a bicycle compartment.
If you want to take your e-bike with you on the

train, you should take into account that routes to
platforms are not always barrier-free. You should
thus allow enough time to get on and off the train.
1 Buy a bicycle ticket for the pedelec.
2 Fasten the pedelec securely in the
compartment.
3 Take a seat in the passenger carriage.
It is possible to take a pedelec on certain high-
speed train routes. The battery must remain firmly
mounted during the journey and must not be
charged.
