must comply with national legislation and gui-
delines.These will vary from country to coun-
try.
In general, there are minimum standards for
brakes, reflectors and lighting systems, as well
as usually a general duty to ensure that your
vehicle is in roadworthy safe condition.There
will also be a duty to ride in a safe and respon-
sible manner. If you ride your HP V

In most countries, including Germany and the
UK, two independent braking systems are re-
quired. Do not ride with only one brake wor-
king!

The first miles
The first 300 km are an important phase in
which you break in the bicycle. During the first
use of a new bicycle the screws may bed in
and come loose. Cables and spokes may
stretch. Please be very attentive during that
period.
After 300 km or after two months at the la-
test you will have to take your bicycle to a bi-
cycle mechanic for the first service. Please re-
cord this first service and the tasks performed
in the warranty pass on page 57.This first ser-
vice is the prerequisite for further use of the
bicycle and for your warranty claims.
