2022 Fischer Operating Instructions en V3.2

Frame Frame shapes vary according to the type and function of the pedelec. Thanks to the evolu tion in materials and construction techniques, it is nowadays possible to produce all shapes of frames safely so they perform stably during rid ing. So despite a low step-through, you can still be sure that your pedelec is always safe on the roads, even with luggage on board. If your e-bike is stolen, it can be identified using its frame number. Please always note down the full number in the correct order. If you do not have the number it will be impossible to make a unique identification. In the docu mentation you received from the retailer when you purchased your pedelec, there is also a section where the frame number is entered. The frame number can also be en graved on various parts of the frame. It is often located on the seat tube, on the drop outs or on the bottom bracket shell.

In some countries, only children up to a certain age may ride in child seats. Find out about the legal reg ulations which relate to the age of the child and the rider. If additional equipment was deliv ered with your pedelec which was not pre-assembled, please ensure that you read the manufacturer’s instructions. Child bike trailers: • Take no chances in terms of quality when buy ing bike trailers for children. • Only install child bike trailers on pedelecs in tended for this purpose using mounting parts which are supplied or approved by the man ufacturer. • It is easy not to see a child bike trailer in traf fic! Use a brightly coloured flag and approved light system to ensure that it is easily seen. Ask about safety accessories on our service hotline. • Notice that trailers make the pedelec much longer than usual. Riding a pedelec around corners with a trailer is different to riding with out. You must keep this in mind when riding in traffic. Before riding on public roads, practise riding your bike with an empty trailer in a safe and quiet environment.

Check whether the manufacturer provides a maximum permitted weight and a maximum permitted speed. If so, these values must be adhered to. Children under 16 are not legally permit ted to ride a bike with a trailer in Germany. Full suspension pedelecs are not suitable for use with trailers and child bike trailers! The bearings and attachments are not designed to withstand this sort of force. This could result in wear and damage with serious consequences.
