4. LEVAL – Legal regulations
Before cycling on public roads, you must learn and observe at any time the applicable national laws
and statutes as well as local regulations. For information, either consult the Road Traffic Regulations
or – depending on your respective place of residence – other sources for information.
The LEVAL optimises the light distribution of your headlight when cycling along curves in a way to
ensure that the light shines where you need it without dazzling other traffic. However, it is always
essential to comply with the basic regulations for headlights and their alignment.
! When attaching the LEVAL, make sure that the headlight is not covered under any circumstances.
If the LEVAL is switched off, the spotlight must be properly aligned.
In general, the prescribed mounting height ranges between about 400 and 1,200 mm. For details
consult your national Road Traffic Regulations or contact a local bicycle specialist retailer.

6. Power supply / LEVAL connection

The LEVAL is only suitable for connection to a DC voltage source, not for connection to an AC
voltage source such as a dynamo.
The LEVAL can either be connected to the light output of the e-bike system together with the
headlight, separately to another switched output of the e-bike system or to a separate power
source, e.g. a power bank. The data mentioned under „5. LEVAL - Technical Specification" must
be observed. Additional detailed information is provided in the following sections.
Sufficient power must be available for the operation of the lighting system and the LEVAL
curve light assistant!
This must be ensured before putting the LEVAL into operation for the first time. The available
power of the power source for the LEVAL (lighting output on the e-bike system or other DC pow-
er source) must be higher than the maximum power of all consumers connected to this power
source. The consumers always include the LEVAL; other consumers can be: the headlight, rear
light, power bank etc. Check this before initial startup!
If the power provided by the system is not sufficient, there is always the risk that
WARNING
the complete lighting system cannot be switched on at all, or switches off while cycling. This is
likely to cause accidents or the cyclist falling off the bike.
