CAUTION

WHILST RIDING

CAUTION

USING THE E-BIKE SYSTEM SAFELY

• Do not give too much of your attention to the cycle computer display while riding, otherwise accidents may result.

• If riding a power-assisted bicycle, make sure that you are fully familiar with the starting-off characteristics of the bicycle before riding it on roads or bike paths. The bicycle can start suddenly, and accidents may result.

• Check that the bicycle lights illuminate before riding at night.

• This e-bike system is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• For installation and adjustment of the product, consult a dealer.

• The e-bike system is designed to withstand wet weather riding conditions. However, do not deliberately place into, or submerse in water.

• Do not clean the e-bike system in a high-pressure hose.

• Do not turn the bicycle upside down. The display or shifters may get damaged.

• Handle the e-bike system carefully, and avoid subjecting it to any strong shocks. Do not jump or do tricks on the bicycle

• Although the bicycle still functions as a normal bicycle even when the battery is removed, the lights will not function without the battery. Be aware that using the bicycle under these conditions will

be considered non-observance of the road trafc laws in Germany

and other jurisdictions.

• Always transport the bicycle with the battery connected to the bike

Commute easily with the ENTITY E100 series system. The powerful 250W System assists you whilst you pedal - up to 25km/ hr and with a range of up to 50km, all on a single charge.

The Entity E100 series is an EPAC (Electric Pedal Assistance Bicycle) system where the motor in the rear hub, provides assistance as the rider pedals. There is no throttle, the rider must pedal for the power assistance to begin.

It features the latest in e-bike technology including a Samsung powered 281Wh smart battery, and a sine-wave controller which

adds durability and also ensures a smooth, quiet and efcient ride.

The premium LCD display shows you all the important information required, including the battery capacity, speed and trip meter. From the display you can select one of the 5 levels of pedal assistance and there is also a switch for the front and rear lights. Should you need it, there is a handy walk assist function - useful whilst walking the bike up hills.

The e-bike can provide up to 50km of assisted riding. This will depend on many factors including the level of assistance selected, but also:

The weight of the rider and luggage Tyre pressure Wind resistance Temperature Age of the battery
