Remove the battery of your pedelec before transportation and transport it separately.

On the train The same regulations apply as when transport- ing a bicycle. Know which busses and trains you can take before using public transportation. It is best to remove the battery from the bike before and while using public transportation.

The battery is not considered a hazardous ma- terial when transported to operate the pedelec. The battery becomes a hazardous material when it is transported any other way. In this case, you must follow the appropriate guidelines. Never send the battery yourself. Batteries are considered hazardous materials. In some circumstances, it can overheat and catch fire. Discuss the is- sue with your transport company. Your spe- cialist/Fischer customer service technician can arrange transport as hazardous goods. Contact our service hotline. By car You can transport your pedelec by car as you would a normal bicycle. Remove the battery be- fore transport and transport it separately. The weight of the pedelec will call for a heavier-duty rack. Always adjust your riding behavior to the load you are pulling in the carrier.
