Important information!
The User Manual of your Ruan is constantly checked and updated.

We congratulate you with the purchase of the BOSCH driving technology.
You have decided for a state-of-the-art means of transport, which allows you
brand-new mobile options. We have attached the greatest importance1to the
technical quality of the single components of your Pedelec, ensuring that you
will enjoy your Ruan for many years.
The Ruan is a bicycle with electrical power assistance for the driver. This
aid is adjusted via a controller that evaluates the data through three sensors
(speed, step rate and torque), regulating the motor according to the selected
support level. When reaching a speed of 15.53 miles/h (25 km/h), the electri-
cal motor switches o. But driving at a speed of 15.53 miles/h (25 km/h) by
oneself is also possible.
In Germany, the Pedelec is lawfully equivalent to the bicycle2. No permit or
license plate are required. The driver does not need a driver license. We do
recommend that you wear an appropriate helmet and goggles for your own
safety.
1.1. INTENDED USE
Your Ruan is intended for the transport of one person on asphalt roads and
rideable forest and land routes. The additional allowable load
(Driver + Accessory + Baggage) amounts to 120 kg.
The Ruan is not intended for:
»Racing/Competition
»Cleaning with a water jet
»Transport in the rain by a car without covering the motor and dismantling the
battery and display
»Charging the Pedelec outdoors in a wet environment

Intended use is also limited by:
»The safety instructions in this User Manual
»The „Technical data“ chapter in this User Manual
»The national regulations for street transport (StVO)
»The national regulations for the street transport permit ordinance (StVZO)
The following user groups should not use the Pedelec:
»Persons with a limited physical, sensory or mental capacity.
»Persons who due to their body size, cannot safely drive the bicycle.
Any changes to your Ruan increasing the motor output or maximum
support speed, will endanger your driving safety and convert the
vehicle from a Pedelec into a small motorcycle. You will be exposed
to sanctions in accordance with trac, licence and safety regulation
with penal consequences!
Rotating parts such as wheels, chain ring, sprocket, pedal crank or
pedals may draw into clothing, carried objects and even body parts,
e.g. your shawl or a bag attached to the handlebar may get caught
into the spokes during driving. When you slip your feet from the
pedals, they can get caught into the spokes. This may lead to severe
accidents!
-> Always wear tight-fitting clothes.
-> Wear shoes with non-slip, flat soles.
-> Do not attach objects onto the handlebar, as they may swing into
the front wheel.
A Pedelec always accelerates faster than a bicycle. Be always aware
that other trac participants cannot always predict your acceleration
performance.
-> Exercise your new Ruan first at a quiet location, before riding in
the busy streets.
-> Exercise the brakes. Please see also chapter 4.4. „Brake system“.
