9. If you have bought a STORCK-RADDAR pedelec with suspension
(e+f), you should ask your STORCK dealer to adjust the suspension
mechanism to your needs before delivery. Improperly adjusted suspension components are liable to malfunction or damage. In any
case they will impair the performance of your bicycle as well as your
safety and joy whilst cycling.
For more information see chapters “Suspension Forks”, “Rear
Shock” and “Suspension Seat Posts” of your STORCK user manual
mountain bike. Further instructions regarding full suspension bicycles and forks are possibly enclosed with this manual.

A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much
spring tension in the mechanism can lead to a very firm connection, from which you cannot quickly step out. Risk of accident!
G
When mounting your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec, make
sure not to step in the pedals until you sit in the saddle and
gripping the handlebars tight. The motor assistance might
switch on suddenly and result in an uncontrolled start of
your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec. Risk of accident!

Be aware that the distance you need to stop your bicycle may
increase, when you are riding with your hands on bar ends
(g) or on multi position handlebars. The brake levers are not
always within easy reach.
G
Please note that in wet conditions the brake performance
is less effective and the tyre grip reduced. Keep this fact in
mind in particular when riding on a wet road and do not ride
as fast as you would in dry conditions.
G
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your
crotch and the top tube (h) so that you do not hurt yourself, if
you have to get off your bicycle quickly.

STORCK-RADDAR pedelecs are not approved for towing
trailers and mounting child carriers!
g
The weight distribution on STORCK-RADDAR pedelecs differs markedly from the weight distribution on bicycles without drive assistance. Due to the rear wheel motor it is much
heavier in the rear than in the front. For this reason lifting
and carrying the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec is more difficult.
Bear this in mind when loading your pedelec into a car and
unloading it or when mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.
