Guarantee / General Notes Battery Batteries are subject to wear and tear. It is therefore normal for the capacity of the battery to decline with increasing age, use, and frequency of charging. For other guarantee provisions, please refer to the KETTLER Instructions for Assembly and Operation. Ground clearance Because of the position of the motor unit, the clearance between the lowest point of the frame and the ground in the area of the bottom bracket is about 5 cm less than for a standard cycle.
