2. Your Schindelhauer e-bike
Oskar, Heinrich and Hannah are, by German law, pedelecs that assist you
with an electric motor. The built-in Bosch Active Line Plus drive unit
harmoniously adjusts the electric support to the current riding situation using
three sensors and 1,000 measurements per second, providing a very natural
riding experience. When exceeding a speed of 25 km/h the drive unit turns
off smoothly. With its low pedaling resistance the Bosch Active Line Plus
system is much more fun than many competing e-bike systems when
switched off and encourages sporty riders to go faster than 25 km/h.
A pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) with an electric support up to a speed of 25
km/h is treated like a normal bicycle before German law. Registration, license
plate or driving license are not required when riding a pedelec in Germany.
Please inform yourself about possible important differences in e-bike
legislation in your country. For simplification the word e-bike will be used in
this manual.

The built-in front and rear lights comply with German traffic

Your Schindelhauer e-bike is a city bike and may only be operated on plain
to lightly unpaved surfaces and only with the required tyre pressure (see
chapter 7.6, page 90). Your e-bike is approved for the transport of one
person.
The manufacturer and the dealer may not be held responsible for any injuries,
claims or damage that arose due to failing to meet these limitations or
violations of any safety suggestions stated within this manual.
Schindelhauer bikes are high-end lightweight bikes.
Always handle your e-bike and its components with
care and only use the e-bike within the scope of its
intended use. Misuse, poor assembly and maintenance
may impair the safety of your e-bike. Danger of accident!
