EN-6 Original User Guide | Pedelec Impulse Evo Version 1
II. General safety information
CAUTION
WARNING
Rim brakes: When cycling for long periods downhill, try to avoid
continual, uninterrupted braking if possible. It may result in a
reduction of braking eect or damage to the tyres. It is better to brake
every now and then with "cooling times" in-between, allowing the
head wind to cool the braking system. If absolutely necessary, take
breaks to let the braking system cool down.
Regularly check wearing parts such as brakes, brake pads and tyres.
Damaged parts can cause accidents and falls. The addition power
means higher loads are applied to wearing parts on a Pedelec than on
a normal cycle. Replace brake pads when their wear limit is reached.
This is evident from the mark on a brake pad and when you can pull
the brake lever all the way back to the handle bars.
Do not touch the motor after a long downhill ride - it can become very
hot. Touching it can cause burns.
Also follow the safety instructions at the start of the next section.
Only use the cycle for its intended purpose - otherwise there is a risk
of technical failure IV. Intended use Page EN-9.
Observe the overall weight of the Pedelec - exceeding it can result in
the breaking or failing of safety parts 4.5.1.2 Riding with a trailer
and/or luggage Page EN-41.
Before setting o on a ride, always check all quick-release clamps are
seated tightly and correctly.
Disc brakes: The brake disc and the quick clamping lever for a wheel
must be on opposite sides. If they are on the same side, there is a risk
they may collide.
PLEASE NOTE
Have assembly and adjustment work carried out by a specialist
cycle dealer. If you need to tighten something yourself, refer to
the comprehensive list of torques which must be observed - in the
"Original User Guide I General" (CD).
If you carry out technical modications to your Pedelec, bear in mind
national trac regulations and applicable standards. Remember also
that the warranty may become void as a result.
Original User Guide | Pedelec Impulse Evo Version 1 EN-7
III. Legal regulations
III.II Legal regulations in Germany
III.I General
DANGER
Never ride "hands free". You must always have at least one hand on
the handle bars. If you do not, you are liable to prosecution (and are
also endangering your health).
Never perform any alterations to the drive unit (with which the cut-o
speed is increased at speeds faster than 25 km/h). Pedelecs whose
motor rating and/or ride characteristics have been modied may no
longer satisfy the legal regulations of the country of use. You may be
making yourself liable to prosecution when riding on public roads
with a "tuned" Pedelec. This also presents a risk of technical failure.
A cycle modied this way is excluded from guarantee and warranty
cover.
WARNING
We discourage allowing children under the age of 14 years to ride
Pedelecs. They may not be able to cope with the speed.
Other regulations may be in place in other countries. Find
out about applicable local legislation before using your
Pedelec abroad.
Some of the regulations in place in Germany at the time this user guide
was written:
»The motor may only be used as a pedalling aid, i.e. it may only "help"
when the rider is pedalling him/herself
»The average motor power may not exceed 250 W
»The motor power must continue falling as the cycle speed keeps
increasing
»The motor must cut out at a speed of 25 km/h
IMPORTANT FOR THE RIDER
»The rider need not wear a helmet. Although in the interests of his/her
own safety, a suitable helmet should always be worn.
»The rider does not require a driving license
»The rider does not require insurance
Pedelecs must, as all cycles, satisfy the requirements laid
down in the respective national road trac acts.
EN-8 Original User Guide | Pedelec Impulse Evo Version 1
»The use of cycle paths is regulated as for normal cycles
»The use of children trailers and cycle trailers is generally permitted for
Pedelecs

Before using a trailer, read Section 4.5.1.2 Riding with a trailer and/
or luggage Page EN-41.
IV. Intended use
IV.I Pedelec
Its design and equipment mean the cycle is intended for use on public
roads and paved pathways. It can also be used on easy terrain. The
manufacturer and dealer accept no liability for damage resulting from
use extending beyond this denition and/or failure to comply with the
safety instructions in the user guide. This applies in particular for using
the cycle o-road, when it is overloaded and when faults are not rectied
properly. Also included in the denition of intended use are conformance
to the operating, maintenance and repair conditions in the user guide and
service book - stipulated by the manufacturer. Fluctuations in consumption
and battery power, and a reduction in capacity due to the cycle's age, are
commonplace and technically unavoidable - and as such do not represent
material defects.

2. Quick-start guide
2.1 Charging the battery
You need not charge the battery if just taking a short test
ride. You should charge it before your first longer cycle ride
however, 6.3.1 Charging a battery Page EN-56, because the
battery is only partially charged (transportation regulations
dictate that batteries are supplied partially charged - by
approx. 50%).
Perform a learn cycle. You should drain a new, fully charged
battery once until the assist function stops, and without
recharging it in-between. By doing so, the battery "learns"
its capacity, and the actual capacity matches the charge
level display. Please perform a learn cycle every six months
or 5,000 kilometres. If you do not repeat the cycle from
time to time, the difference between actual battery capacity
and charge level display will become greater and greater.
One-key system: The same key can be used for cycle and
battery lock.
1. Hold the battery at angle of 80˚,
slightly tilted to the left in front of the
docking station.
2. Place the battery catches into the
dents provided.
3. Push the battery forwards and
upwards into the docking station until
the locking mechanism engages.
2.2 Inserting and locking into place a battery
PLEASE NOTE
Hold the battery tight so it does not fall. It might be damaged
otherwise.
4. Remove the battery key from the lock.
Now the battery is locked.
Original User Guide | Pedelec Impulse Evo Version 1 EN-11
The recommendation is to remove the key now and keep it
in a safe place so it does not break o and is not lost.
Make a note of the key number on the sales receipt/
document. This number can be used to order a replacement

3.4.2.13 Climb assist
When the cycle is being ridden, the power sensor integrated in the motor
registers the pedal power you require. The motor controller interprets the
pedal power signals and responds (dierently depending on the climb
assist value setting). The lower the value set (e.g. 1), the more sluggish
the response of the motor during the assist phase. The higher the value
set (e.g. 7), the more sensitive the motor responds to the pedal power.
For uphill rides in particular, it is benecial when the power sensor does
not respond so sensitively, so that it is possible to ride with motor assist
which is as uniform and harmonic as possible.

5.1 Safety information
WARNING
All those (including children) who are unable to use the battery due to
their physical, sensory or mental aptitude, or their lack of experience
or knowledge, may not use it without being under the supervision or
instruction of a person responsible. A risk of misuse and injury may
otherwise result.
Always remove the battery before working on the Pedelec. The cycle
could switch on without warning and pose a risk of serious injury.
Only use your Pedelec with the correct, original battery. Using other
batteries can result in explosions, serious burns and re. Malfunction
and limited service life can also entail. A list of permitted batteries is
in 5.2 Technical details Page EN-46.
Only charge your battery with the correct, original charger. Using

Batteries may not be exposed to re, sparks or heat (such as from
radiators and continual sunshine).
WARNING
WARNING
They can explode, causing serious burns and re. High temperatures
can also shorten the service live of your battery. Always ensure there
is sucient ventilation when charging the battery.
Batteries may not be submersed in water. This presents a risk of
explosion. Do not extinguish a burning battery with water - only its
immediate surroundings. Fire extinguishers with metal re powder
(Class D) are more suitable. If the battery can be taken outside safely,
smother the re with sand.
Batteries may not be short-circuited. A short-circuit between the
contacts can cause burns and re. Keep the battery away from nuts,
bolts, paper clips, keys, coins, nails and other small metal objects
which can cause bridging of the contacts.
Batteries may not be destroyed, shredded, taken apart, opened or
repaired. They can explode, causing serious burns and re. Contact
your cycle dealer for help if you have problems with the battery.
Damaged batteries may not be charged, used or transported.
»They can explode, causing serious burns and re.
»Vapour can escape and irritate the air ways. Ensure there is a
supply of fresh air and consult a doctor in the event of discomfort.
»Liquid can escape and cause skin irritation. Prevent contact with
it. In the event of accidental contact, wash o the liquid with
water. If liquid enters the eyes, also seek medical assistance.
A battery can still be damaged after a drop or impact even if no
external damage is evident. Battery which looks ne on the outside
should therefore also be subjected to an inspection. Contact your
cycle dealer.
PLEASE NOTE
Batteries may not be subjected to any mechanical impacts. This poses
a risk of damage.
Perform a learn cycle. You should drain a new, fully charged
battery once until the assist function stops, and without
recharging it in-between. By doing so, the battery "learns"
its capacity, and the actual capacity matches the charge
level display. Please perform a learn cycle every six months
or 5,000 kilometres. When the battery becomes older and
you do not repeat the cycle from time to time, the dierence
between actual battery capacity and charge level display
will become greater and greater.

5.4 Tips
5.4.1 Range
How far you can ride with your battery depends on several factors.
Get your cycle dealer to show you which air pressure is best
for your tyres, and how you can check the pressure. Caution
- excessively high tyre pressures can also be dangerous.
Ride prole: You need the most power in the highest ride prole
(Dynamic). The range becomes shorter.
Select the ride prole in line with the routes you ride. For
a leisurely tour with friends at the weekend, the "Relax"
assist level is the right choice. If you often speed from one
appointment to the next, the "Dynamic" setting can inject
the necessary pace.
Assist mode: You need the most power in the highest assist mode (ULTRA).
The range drops drastically the higher the assist level selected is.
Vary the assist modes. With the wind behind you or on level
ground for example, you can also speed along with a lower
assist mode. It makes sense to switch o assist completely
when riding downhill.
Riding style: A low pedalling speed combined with high gears results in
high power consumption.
For a constant pedalling speed, change to a low gear in
good time - especially when starting o.
Physical condition: The better your physical condition, the lower the level
of assistance needed.
Overall weight: The lower the overall weight on the cycle, the "easier" it is
to ride it.
A recommendation when planning longer journeys is to take
a replacement battery and/or a charger.
Tyre pressures: The front tyre is dicult to turn when its pressure is
too low. The drive unit needs to provide more assistance and the range
decreases.
EN-50 Original User Guide | Pedelec Impulse Evo Version 1
Outside temperatures: The lower the outside temperatures (e.g. cold in
winter), the shorter the range.
Insert the battery just before starting o with your Pedelec.
This way you prevent low temperatures shortening the
range.
Battery capacity: A much shorter service life after the charging process
indicates that the battery has lost considerable capacity. 5.2.1.2
Checking the capacity Page EN-47.
The battery may have to be replaced. Discuss how to
proceed with your cycle dealer.
Route selected: You need to pedal harder when cycling uphill or against
strong head wind. This is registered by the power sensor, which in turn
requires the motor to work harder.
Charging a smartphone: Connecting a smartphone to your Impulse Evo
Smart display to charge it also requires power.
WARNING
»By train: Only transport your Pedelec in trains having the bicycle
symbol. Reservations are required for InterCity and EuroCity
trains. No bicycles may be taken in InterCity Express trains.
»By plane: Find out in good time whether the cycle regulations for
your airline permit transportation of Pedelecs. Batteries may not
be taken on passenger planes, neither in the hold nor cabin.
They are subjected to hazard goods legislation.
Do not send any batteries. Batteries are hazardous goods which can
overheat and catch re in certain conditions. Only trained personnel
may prepare and transport batteries. If you have a complaint about a
battery or batteries, please always go through your cycle dealer. They
are able to have batteries picked up at no charge under the hazard
goods legislation.
5.4.2 Transportation and shipping

button and touching live parts
1. Remove the battery from the Pedelec
2. Store the battery in a dry, not excessively warm room. The battery
should not be exposed to direct sunshine. The recommended storage
temperature range is 18 to 23°C.
A battery should not be stored when fully charged. A charge
level between 50 and 70% is ideal.
Because a battery loses energy very slowly, it should be
recharged every two to three months (six months at the
latest).
When wiping down the battery, prevent touching the contacts as this
presents a risk of electric shock.
PLEASE NOTE
Do not spray the battery with a water hose or wash it with a highpressure cleaner. Although the components are sealed o, damage
to the battery may still result. Clean the battery with a slightly damp
cloth.
Do not submerse the battery in water. Although the components are
sealed o, damage may still result.
Do not use any cleaners which contain alcohol or solvent, or which
scour. No coarse sponges or brushes may be used either.

6. Chargers
They leave scratches and cause the surface to become matt. To clean
your cycle, it is best to use a soft cloth moistened with water or mild
cleaning agent.
Do not allow dirt to dry out. It is best to clean the battery
immediately after your ride.
1. Remove the battery from the Pedelec
2. Clean the casing with a slightly damp, soft cloth.
3. If the battery terminals are dirty, clean them with a dry, soft cloth.
5.4.5 Disposal

appropriate places (such as recycling stations).
6.1 Safety information
WARNING
All those (including children) who are unable to use the charger due to
their physical, sensory or mental aptitude, or their lack of experience
or knowledge, may not use it without being under the supervision or
instruction of a person responsible. A risk of misuse and injury may
otherwise result.
Only use the correct, original charger to charge the battery. Using
other chargers can result in explosions, serious burns and re.
Malfunction and limited service life can also entail. A list of permitted
chargers is in 6.3 Overview and functions Page EN-55.
The mains voltage must match the voltage specied on the charger
nameplate. The supply voltage for the charger is specied on the label
on the back of the device.
Only charge the correct, original battery with the charger. Using other
batteries can result in explosions, serious burns and re. Malfunction
and limited service life can also entail. A list of permitted batteries is
in 5.2 Technical details Page EN-46.

Original User Guide | Pedelec Impulse Evo Version 1 EN-53
WARNING
WARNING
Do not open the charger yourself, and only have it repaired by
qualied experts using original spare parts. A damaged charger, cable
or connector increases the risk of electric shock.
The charger is only intended to be used indoors. Keep the charger
away from rain and moisture. Penetration of water into the charger
represents a risk of electric shock. If it happens, immediately unplug
the mains connector from the socket and have the charger checked by
a dealer. Condensation may form on the charger when the temperature
suddenly changes from cold to warm. When this happens, wait about
an hour. This is the time a charger needs to reach the temperature of
the warm surroundings. Prevent this happening by storing the charger
where it is used.
Do not use the charger and battery on materials which can catch
re easily (such as paper and textiles) or within a combustible
environment. This also applies when the battery is charged when
tted to the Pedelec. In this case, the Pedelec must be positioned
such that a potential
re cannot spread quickly (exercise caution
with carpeted oors). The charger heat generated during the charge
process represents a risk of fire. When the temperature is higher
than 85˚C, or there is smoke or an unusual smell, immediately
unplug the mains connector of the charger from the socket and
disconnect the battery from the charger. An overheated battery is
damaged and may not be used again. Always stay with the charger
when it is in use.
Always place the charger and battery on a at surface for the charging
process. The charger and battery may not be covered during the
charging process.
Do not replace the mains cable. This poses a risk of re and explosion.
Keep the charger clean. Dirt represents a risk of electric shock.
PLEASE NOTE
Do not charge batteries over longer periods if they are already fully
charged.
When they are not going to be used for long periods, unplug the mains
connector from the socket and disconnect the charger cable from the
battery.
