9 DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
According to the EU Directives for waste electrical and electronic equipment
(Directive 2012/19/EU) and spent batteries (Directive 2006/66/EC), the
relevant components must be collected separately and disposed of in an
environmentally sound manner.
► Before disposing of your e-bike, remove all batteries and all components
and controls that contain batteries.
9.1 Disposal of your e-bike
After you have removed all batteries, the e-bike is considered an old
electrical appliance and must be recycled.
► Find out from your city or municipal administration (municipality,
district) about free collection points for old electrical appliances and/
or collection points, via which the components or the e-bike can be
recycled.
► When disposing of the product, observe the requirements of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov).
► If necessary, make sure to delete any personal data stored on the
device before you return the electrical or electronic equipment to the
collection point. This task is your responsibility.
9.2 Battery disposal
The drive system battery is a lithium-ion battery that must be disposed of
as hazardous waste.
► Dispose of the battery of the drive system and any other batteries
installed in the e-bike at a recycling center or a collection point in your
town or municipality.
