  1. Repair at the manufacturer in Cologne (bring the vehicle by or send it by parcel)
  2. Repair at your local dealer.
  3. Repair on your own. Some of the corresponding instructions can be made available.
  4. Repair in an independent bike or scooter workshop near you.

If you choose the STEEREON C20 model, you are not legally required to wear a safety helmet, but we recommend that you wear one at all times. This should be at least a certified bicycle helmet.

These meet higher safety requirements than classic bicycle helmets, which are usually tested in accordance with EN 1078.
