7.6 Transportation and shipping
of the battery

7.6.1 Transportation

› Never transport damaged batteries. The safety
of damaged batteries cannot be guaranteed.
Scratches and small chips in the housing do not
constitute serious damage.
› Damaged batteries may neither be charged, nor
continue to be used
› For the transportation of your Pedelec, we
recommend removing the battery from the
Pedelec and packaging it separately.
› Cover the contact socket in the battery holder
of your bike with the round socket cover. In this
way, no dirt can enter the contact socket.

7.6.1.1 The E-Bike and your car

If you transport your E-Bike on a bike rack, ensure that it
is designed for the higher weight of an E-Bike. In order to
relieve the load on the rack and protect the battery from
climatic conditions, it must be transported inside the car.

7.6.1.2 The E-Bike on trains

In Germany, you can take your E-Bike with you on trains
which are marked with the bike symbol. To do so on
German Intercity (IC) and EuroCity (EC) trains, you must
book a place for your bike in advance. As a rule, you may
not take bikes with you on German Intercity Express (ICE)
trains.

7.6.1.3 The E-Bike on aeroplanes

Your E-Bike is generally subject to the policies of the
respective airline concerning bikes. Batteries are subject
to dangerous goods legislation. Therefore, they must not
be carried on passenger planes – neither in the cargo
hold, nor the cabin. Please contact the relevant airline for
detailed information.

7.6.2 Shipping

Do not ship batteries! A battery is a hazardous article
which can overheat and catch fire in
certain conditions.
The preparation and shipping of a battery may only be
carried out by trained personnel.
If you would like to return your Pedelec battery for
replacement, please always arrange this via your special-
ist cycle shop. Specialist cycle shops can have the battery
picked up free of charge and in compliance with danger-
ous goods legislation.
