Transport of the bike
8. Transport of the Speed Pedelec
You can transport your Speed Pedelec easily by car or train. To
transport by cars, we recommend to use a bike rack for the trailer
hitch, which is specific designed for the e-bike transport and suitable
for larger loads. Which carriers comply with these requirements, you
can ask the retailer.
Not recommended is the transport on the car roof. The higher weight
and the specially shaped frame tubes make it very difficult to fasten
the bike securely. In addition, permissible maximum weight and to
tightly sized brackets and rails of the carrier limit secure
transportation.
You should definitely remove before transportation with a rear carrier
the battery, the display as well as other non-fixed accessories such as:
Air pump and luggage bags Additional protection should be given to
electrical contacts on the display holder and the battery connector on
the frame with for example a plastic bag to protect them from
moisture and rain. By the air stream, humidity can be pressed into the
electrical contacts.
If your car is big enough, the best is to transport it in the inside. There
it is optimally protected.
The transportation by air is almost impossible, unless you want to
transport the bike without the battery. The battery is classified as
hazardous by the airlines and will not be transported. If in individual
cases ask the airlines, under which circumstances the transport of the
battery may be possible. However, it can be quite expensive.
