2 SAFETY
2.1 General Warning
This manual contains many warnings and cautions, which if ignored, may increase the risk of
injury to you as a rider, may cause damage to the product or may invalidate the warranty.
We recommend that you read and understand this manual in its entirety, prior to your first
ride. Before riding your CARBON SUV E-BIKE you must visit www.motoparilla.it/manuals for
up to date important safety related information. Riding any bicycle involves the risk of
product damage, serious injury or even death. Such risks are increased in busy, urban
environments with moving traffic. By choosing to ride a CARBON SUV E-BIKE, you assume
the responsibility for these risks, and it is important that you know how to ride responsibly
and to exercise proper maintenance to minimise such risks and potential damage. Do not
try to ride beyond the limits of your ability or the limits of the CARBON SUV E-BIKE.
We strongly recommend that you learn more about the inherent risks associated with
riding bicycles and suggest that you:
Ask your local bike retailer for information or instruction on safe cycling.
Ride within your means and ability.
Attend a training session or safe cycling workshop run by many local bike
clubs, police departments, schools or government support groups.
Always keep both hand on the handlebar and the eyes on the road.
Always seat properly in the seat, with the legs one for each side and the feet on
pedals in the proper way
The bicycle don’t stand alone and it is always possible to fell down. So drive and stop
always carefully and wear appropriate protection for reduce the effect of any injury
Always wear homologated helmet
Search “bicycle safety” online for reference information.
Skills of riders can vary; for example, it takes a highly skilled rider to travel at high speeds
and/or close to obstacles, cars or other cyclists. Do not ride in a manner that exceeds the
limits of your ability.
Moto Parilla – CARBON SUV E-BIKE
2.2 Intended Use
CARBON SUV E-BIKE is an electric bicycle developed and designed for commuting usage
and/or simple riding in fair weather and at speeds relevant to safe and appropriate travel
in an urban or suburban environment. Where applicable, the product meets the
minimum requirements outlined in EN 14764:2005 and EN 15194 (for 250W). Abusive
riding styles or inappropriate use will invalidate any warranty protection offered
WARNING! Understand your CARBON SUV E-BIKE and its intended use. Using your CARBON
SUV E-BIKE in the wrong manner or for the wrong purpose can be dangerous and may
impact the service life of the product.
The CARBON SUV E-BIKE is a power-assisted bicycle intended for sensible use by physically
competent riders. If you have any concerns or doubts about your use or enjoyment of
such a product due to a medical condition, an illness or if you are recovering from
treatment for a condition or illness, you should consult your doctor regarding the
suitability of the product for you. If you are the user of an implanted medical device such
as a pacemaker or defibrillator, you agree to seek appropriate advice from the
manufacturer of such device prior to the usage of MOTO PARILLA products.
2.3 Customizing
WARNING! Do not modify or customize your CARBON SUV E-BIKE or CARBON SUV EBIKE components in any way. Such modifications or refinishing will make void any
applicable warranty.
Modifications can cause damage which can increase the risk of failure and accident which
may result in serious injury or death. Refinishing can hide structural damage, such as
fatigue cracks or structural problems which may also result in an accident.
2.4 Maximum Design Limit
WARNING! This product has been designed with a maximum recommended weight limit of
100kg (220lbs) for the rider, clothing and all luggage, and is intended for use on paved
roads. For rider and luggage weight 100-115kg (220-250lbs): riding style, road condition, tire
pressures and luggage position may reduce product service life. Never exceed rider and
luggage weight at any time. Exceeding this limit will make void all warranties and may result
in the product being unsafe for operation.
2.5 Riding in Low Light Conditions
In low light conditions at night, dawn, dusk or during adverse weather conditions such as
fog, the visibility of cyclists is dramatically reduced
WARNING! Never ride a bicycle in low light conditions without appropriate front and rear
lights fitted and “on” (illuminated) that meet or exceed the national standards of the
country in which it is being ridden.
Moto Parilla – CARBON SUV E-BIKE
We recommend that you consult the relevant national safety organization or a reputable
cycle dealer on what the minimum recommended lighting requirements are in your
particular country or region.
We also recommend to wear bright, reflective clothing such as reflective vests, leg and arm
bands
2.5 Stopping the CARBON SUV E-BIKE
The CARBON SUV E-BIKE is equipped with front and rear hydraulic disk brakes, operated
by two levers on the handlebars (shown). Before riding, it is important to familiarize
yourself with which brake lever operates the front brake and which operates the rear
brake. Proper use of your brakes will slow and bring your CARBON SUV E-BIKE to a safe
and controlled stop.
WARNING! To slow or stop the CARBON SUV E-BIKE in normal operation, apply the brakes
appropriately. In the event that an emergency stop is required, apply the brakes
appropriately and in a safe and controlled manner until you have brought the CARBON SUV
E-BIKE to a complete stop. Do not release the brakes until it is safe to do so.
Action on brake could block the wheel so the rider must be ready at all times. Reduce
speed dramatically if street condition could make the blocking of wheel easy, in order to
help slow or stop the CARBON SUV E-BIKE in a controlled manner.
Aggressive use of the brakes may cause your CARBON SUV E-BIKE to skid, potentially
resulting in loss of control. Anticipate your need to stop and slow using appropriate
pressure on the brake levers.
2.7 Riding in Wet, Cold or Icy Conditions
Under wet, cold or icy conditions, the stopping power of your brakes and tires (as well as
the brakes of other vehicles sharing the road) is dramatically reduced. This makes it harder
to control speed and easier to lose control. It also makes skidding during turning more
likely. Ride more slowly and cautiously when in wet weather. If it is cold, near or below the
temperature when water freezes, be careful of ice on the roads which could be dangerous.
WARNING! Wet or icy conditions impair traction, braking and visibility, both for the cyclist
and for other vehicles sharing the road. The risk of an accident is dramatically increased in
wet conditions
To make sure that you can slow down and stop safely in wet conditions, ride more slowly
and apply your brakes more gradually than you would under normal, dry conditions, taking
care to anticipate your need to stop and slow to avoid any aggressive use of the brakes.
We do not recommend riding in heavy rain or standing water, but we do understand that
this is not always avoidable. If your CARBON SUV E-BIKE gets wet, clean and dry it within
10 minutes of heavy wet weather riding. See 7.2 Cleaning and Preventing Corrosion for
more information.
Moto Parilla – CARBON SUV E-BIKE
2.8 Riding in windy conditions
You must consider that the dimension and the geometry of the CARBON SUV E-BIKE is not
common. It is important to become accustomed to the different feeling of ride.
In windy conditions, especially lateral wind, due the great dimension of the bike, wind
action can be very effective and deviate the bike from its line or induct shacking vibration.
Please take note and be ready to prevent and take the necessary action to keep the bike in
its line and reduce the speed to under 15 km/h ( 9 mile/h).
Always keep both hands on handlebar in windy conditions.
WARNING! Windy conditions modify the behavior of the CARBON SUV E-BIKE. The risk of
an accident due the lost of control of the E-bike is dramatically increased, so the speed
must be reduced to under 15 km/h (9 mile/h) for the safety of both the rider and the
cyclist as well as for the other vehicles sharing the road
2.9 Riding in high traffic conditions with trucks
Please take note that big trucks move a great volume of air and when they overtake a
bicycle rider they produce an effect of strong lateral wind.
If possible please avoid riding in this road condition if not strictly necessary and in case,
apply the instructions of “riding in windy conditions.”
Apply the instruction of “riding in windy conditions” any time a truck is going to overtake.
2.10 Limited Life Span
WARNING! Bicycles have a limited life span for safe operation and are not indestructible
As with all mechanical components, bicycle components are subject to wear and high
stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear, stress or fatigue in
different ways. Excessive wear and high stress of your CARBON SUV E-BIKE may be
hazardous.
The expected life span of a CARBON SUV E-BIKE or its components will vary with the
material and construction of the frame and components, the maintenance received over
its life and the type and amount of use. Any unusual or abusive riding style, such as off-
road cycling, competitive riding, stunt cycling, jumping or riding at excessive speed and
braking hard, can accelerate the wear and fatigue of components to the extent where
premature and sudden failure of a component may occur without warning and the risk of
injury is increased.
Any form of crack, scratch or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the
life of the component has been reached and you should replace it before any further use is
made.
See Section 7.5 Checking for Cracking and Fatigue Failures for parts of the CARBON SUV E-
BIKE that require visual inspection from time to time.
A blow to your CARBON SUV E-BIKE, either major or minor, can cause stress and fatigue on
the CARBON SUV E-BIKE and its components or compromise the integrity of the electronics,
including the battery, electronic controller, motor drive system or wiring. In the event of an
accident and if safe to do so, put your battery into sleep mode. (see Section 5.3.4.) Check
Moto Parilla – CARBON SUV E-BIKE
for visual damage before continuing to ride the CARBON SUV E-BIKE. If the CARBON SUV E-
BIKE has sustained damage other than light cosmetic scratches such as dented, cracked,
bent or misaligned components, do not ride your CARBON SUV E-BIKE until it has been
inspected by an authorized CARBON SUV E-BIKE service center. If in doubt about the
inspection of your CARBON SUV E-BIKE, contact techsupport@motoparilla.it
2.11 First Ride
WARNING! First familiarize yourself with the modes of operation, controls and
performance of your CARBON SUV E-BIKE before venturing onto busy streets.
We strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with your new CARBON SUV E-
BIKE by first riding it in a controlled environment, away from potential hazards such as
moving traffic and obstacles. It is important to become familiar with the modes of
operation, controls, brakes and the different performance features inherent to the
electric motor.
WARNING! Your braking efficiency will increase during the first few rides as your brake
disks and pads “bed in”. To accelerate the increase in braking performance, perform a
number of controlled stops under hard braking. Please do that by following the
instructions in 2.6 carefully.
2.12 Steering radius
Your CARBON SUV E-BIKE is very big and long which is what make it cool and unique. The
steering radius is usually bigger than an ordinary bicycle. It is therefore necessary to
become accustomed to the steering radius of your CARBON SUV E-BIKE before riding on
main roads. It is advisable to practise different turning conditions and bear in mind the
personal turning performance of your CARBON SUV E-BIKE before reaching a turning where
the reduction of speed according to the turning radius, is requested
WARNING! If speed is not reduced or a wrong calculation of the turning is made, the rider
could lose the riding line, the position in the lane or even cross over to the opposite lane,
all of which could have dramatically dangerous consequences. Therefore, for the safety of
both the rider and cyclist and for other vehicles sharing the road, speed must always be
reduced before a turning and in relation to the radius requested
2.13 Moving and parking
CARBON SUV E-BIKE is supplied without any stand. When you park the bike take care that it
is in stable condition and that is not in area where can fell down to children or animals.
Don’t park the bike in not flat street if possible, if not possible take care that due the gravity
force the bike can move itself and injury people and damage things and itself. So take all the
prescription for avoid any spontaneous movement. If not possible in anyway to park the
bike in not stable, lay down slowly and carefully to the ground the bike.
You move the bike by hand walking at its side, keep both the hand on the handlebar and be
ready to stop the bike using brake lever and please keep the bike a little bit inclined forward
you so that the center o gravity projection will fell in the triangle made by your feet and the
2 wheels. In that case that bike will not risk to fell on the other side, where it can injury
people and damage things.
Moto Parilla – CARBON SUV E-BIKE
WARNING! CARBON SUV E-BIKE is a big bike. If fell down against people, especially
children, it can be very dangerous. Take care of all the consequence of a not stable
parking. Moto Parilla is disclaimed for any damage coming from a not stable parking.

Registration.
4.1 First Assembing
IMPORTANT ASSEMBLING ADVICE! Before assembling the bike, be sure to have all the tools
necessary, to be in an appropriate space and that the bike is stable. It is important not to do
this alone because the assembling procedure needs one person to assure the bike does not
fall. The CARBON SUV E-BIKE has no stand. In the case of a fall, the bike carbon frame and
fork may become damaged. Please avoid this eventuality. Should the bike fall, check
carefully for cracking before riding.
At least in 2 people take out the CARBON SUV E-BIKE and all the parts from the carton.
Take note that CARBON SUV E-BIKE will arrive with front wheel, handlebar and seta
disassembled. Take care to don’t scratch the carbon and aluminum surface and that no
parts of the bike will fell down.
IMPORTANT ADVICE!: take care of environment. Waste the carton box and all packaging
material in the proper way following the rules of your country and local authority.
When assembling the front wheel take care that the spacers are in the right position on
both sides. The wide side of the spacer must touch the carbon blade fork.
