moving off, assistance can be triggered forcefully and surprise you. In the
case of adverse weather conditions, be particularly vigilant and adapt your
speed appropriately, especially on wet ground.
It is advisable to remove the battery when transporting your bike on the
outside of your vehicle (bike carrier, roof bar, etc.),
CAUTION: Like any mechanical component, a bike experiences high stress
and wears out. Different materials and components may react differently to

indicate that the component has exceeded its lifetime and should be
replaced.

best on the maintenance to be carried out following the diagnosis of your
