Carefully attach the pedelec, so that it cannot come detached from the rack. This could result in severe traffic accidents. Check the fasteners multiple times during transport. Loose parts (e.g. tools, air pumps, bags or child seats) may come off during the drive and put other motorists at risk. Remove all loose parts before departing. For longer journeys in the rain, the display should be protected from water. A securely fastened plastic bag could be used to this end, for example. Only then may the pedelec be attached at the handlebars, stem, pedelec seat or seat post if this is intended by the rack manufacturer. Do not use fasteners that could damage the pedelec fork or the frame. Always transport pedelecs on their wheels when not otherwise prescribed by the carrier manufac turer. Please do not attach the pedelec to the roof rack or rear carrier by its crank set. It may come loose and cause a severe accident. The manu facturers of add-on components and accessories also provide information regarding use and as sembly on their websites. Check it out when you use something new.

Notice that trailers make the pedelec much longer than usual. Riding a pedelec around cor ners with a trailer is different to riding without. 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 en vironment.

Inadequate pedelec/bicycle racks may cause accidents. Always adjust your riding behaviour to the load you are carrying.
