6.2
TRANSPORT ON THE CAR REAR OR ROOF RACK
During transport on a bike carrier on the car, the battery should be removed. The contacts on the battery and on the bike must be covered. The battery must be transported inside the car without slipping. It
is optimal to use a battery case that protects the battery from heat and shocks.
Rims must be padded before lashing straps or ratchet systems are attached. If several bicycles are transported on the rear or roof rack, care must be taken to ensure adequate spacing or sufficient padding
between the bicycles. When transporting bicycles with carbon wheels on the rear carrier, make sure there is sufficient distance between the exhaust and the wheel. The minimum distance is 45 cm behind
the exhaust and at least 20 cm above it. Please also refer to the operating instructions of the rear or roof rack manufacturer.
6.3 STORING THE BATTERY
We recommend not leaving the battery on the bike for storage. The battery must be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place. Protect the battery from moisture and water. In adverse weather conditions, it is
recommended to remove the battery from the bike and store it indoors until the next use.
The battery should not be stored outside the temperature range of -20 °C to +55 °C (1 month), -20 °C to +45 °C (3 months). Make sure that the maximum storage temperature is not exceeded. Do not store the
battery in direct sunlight.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY BEFORE AND DURING STORAGE
Charge the battery to about 70% before longer non-use. Check the charge level after 3 to 6 months and recharge the battery to about 70%. Avoid deep discharge of the battery by charging pauses longer
than 3 months.
NOTE: If an empty battery is stored for a longer period of time, it can be damaged despite the low self-discharge and the storage capacity can be greatly reduced. It is not recommended to leave the battery
permanently connected to the charger.
6.4 BIKE STORAGE
The bicycle should be parked in a suitable bicycle stand, which ideally only holds the rear wheel. Make sure to check the tire pressure when the bike has stood for a long time. You should not park your bike
for longer with no air in the tires. Another alternative for safe storage is to hang the bike on a padded, or plastic or rubber covered hook. If you use a tubeless system, you should remove the sealant from the
tire when parking your bike longer than three months. Some sealing fluids contain corrosion-intensifying ingredients and can thus damage the rim.
6.5
SHIPPING THE BIKE
Depending on the size of the PROPAIN bike box, the bike can be shipped in different assembly states. Ship the bike in the assembly condition as you received it.
1. Fix or adequately sheathe all loose or moving parts.
→ Sharp or pointed components must be additionally sheathed to prevent them from causing damage inside the carton and from penetrating to the outside.
2. Remove the front wheel (Dreckspatz, Frechdax) for shipping and wrap the front wheel in a cardboard box.
3. Put the quick release in the small parts box.
4. Place the filler box behind the rear wheel.
5. Protect the top tube from damage by the handlebar by using suitable material (e.g. tube insulation).
