Awareness course focusing on ‘Mobility challenges for people with eye diseases’

Course: ‘Safe riding with a pedelec/e-bike’
The number of accidents involving pedelec riders has risen by more than 20% annually in recent years. Many of these accidents are due to unsafe handling of the e-bike. The course consists of theory (traffic accident situations, technical information about pedelecs and adjusting your own vehicle, refresher on traffic rules, tips on theft prevention) and practice (getting on and off, starting, braking, turning, riding with one hand, riding around obstacles, etc.).
