Guarantee / Warranty
According to European law, you are rightfully entitled to a warranty of 24
months. The guarantee span for batteries is 6 months since they are wearing
parts. Regard the additional information concerning the battery in Chapter 4.
Should you not be satisfied and decide to return the bike, you have to regard the
following:
Sie sollten die Lackschutzhüllen noch nicht entfernt haben und nicht auf Wegen
gefahren sein, die Verschmutzungen an der Bereifung zur Folge hatten.
Bicycles with obvious signs of use cannot be returned. To return it, the bike has
to be in its original packaging.
Choose the bike according to your body size and weight. According to DIN EN
14764 the maximal load for bicycles for adults is limited to 100 kg. Damages that
suggest overload, like broken off pedals, bent seat posts, crooked handlebars,
etc., are not acknowledged as warranty damage.
Important notes
To avoid misuse, please thoroughly read this user manual before the electric
bike‘s first use.
We suggest that you familiarise yourself with your new bicycle without making
use of the motor support and to get used to functions like the brakes and gear
change.
This SEATEC Electric Bike is a bicycle with pedaling and pushing aid, according
to the european standard design prEN 15195 a so-called „EPAC“ (Electrically
Power Assisted Cycle) or Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle).
It is equipped with an electromotive support drive with a nominal capacity of 250
watts. The maximal speed is limited to 25 km/h and cannot be achieved through
use of the drive support alone but is directly related to the cyclist‘s legwork. For
this reason, Pedelecs do not require registration, insurance, driver‘s licence or
helmet and are not limited to a certain age. By using the gear change, you can
choose the pedaling speed in relation to the bicycle speed. The entirety of the
electric drive unit is very light and is completely separated from the impeller
when the motor is turned off due to a free wheel. Even without the use of the
electric drive, this bicycle is conveniently easy to use. The slight resistance when
pushing the bicycle backwards as well as the motor‘s slight humming are results
of the bicycle‘s construction and are no deficiency.
Keep this user manual for future reference.

Your receive the electric bike in a pre-assembled state which is not in running
condition.
Before the first use, you need to examine/adjust all screws etc. and tighten them
if required! Brakes and hang-on parts are to be checked for flawless condition
and correct fitting. Also assure a tight and ergonomically correct placement of the
control panel on the handlebar.
ATTENTION: an inappropriate final assembly causes loss of warranty.
Complete the bike before first usage.
Check all screws and familiarise yourself with the folding mechanism. Careless,
hasty or inexperienced handling can lead to injuries.
Before stowing the bicycle in the valise and taking it on board, you should have
already checked all the bike‘s functions and familiarised yourself with the bike‘s
riding characteristics on a thorough test ride.
Before stowing the bike in the valise, the pedals need to be folded up.
Should the tyres be out of round laterally/radially, reduce the air pressure and
correctly position the mantle in the wheel rim. Afterwards, assure optimal tyre
pressure between 2,8 and 4,6 bar.
According to road traffic regulations, every bicycle is to be equipped with lights.
This user manual does not share the properties of repair / installation and setting
instructions. If you want to tune your bike yourself, you should have a certain
basic knowledge or leave the bike at a specialised company for service or repair.
Damages caused by an improper final assembly are not subject to guarantee/
warranty. Many of the bike‘s parts are standarised and available in specialised
trade. Should you not be able to acquire certain parts, we will of course do our
best to help you.
Please keep in mind that you bought an onboard fold-up bike and riding
behaviour as well as stability cannot be compared to those of a tour or mountain
bike. Limitations in resilience due to the folding mechanism and small size are
to be expected. Overstraining, e.g. emergency stops when riding down a slope,
heavy pedaling while standing or the transportation of heavy luaggage can lead
to damages or breakage with injury risk.
Before every ride, check the correct fit of all quick release fastener clamping
levers, the locking of the battery, the seat‘s height, the handlebar‘s height, the
handlebar‘s position and the folding joints.
If you have additional questions about our products, feel free to call us. We will
assist you immediately.

You can see the battery‘s state of charge by looking either at the display on the
battery or that on the handlebar (see Chapter 2).
Make sure that no splash or rain water enters the switch, the charging socket or
the battery case over the battery holder. When the bike is placed in the rain, make
sure to place the bike so that water can only flow out of the battery holder and
not inside. Should this not be an option, remove the battery and keep it in a dry
environment.
5.1 Charging the battery
To charge the battery you may remove it from the bike.
1. Unlock the battery (see Chapter 1).
2. Remove the battery from the bracket.
3. Charge the battery.
4. After charging, place the battery back in the bracket and lock the battery
bracket.
Charge the battery after every use!
• Only use the provided charger when charging the battery.
• Ideally, charge the battery in room temparature, between 10°C and 45°C
in a dry and well ventilated surrounding. First, connect the charger to the
battery charging socket. Only after should you proceed to connect the
charger to the alternating mains voltage (230V AC). The state of charge
is displayed on the charger. When the battery is charged, separate the
connections in reverse order.
Trickle charging after a long time of non-usage, like it is commonly used
with lead acid batteries, should not be applied in this case (see also 5.2)
• Do not use the bike (for testing purposes) while the battery is
charging.
• Do not use the charger during thunderstorms.

5.2 Important information concerning the bike‘s
battery
As the owner of an Electric Bike you should know some things about the
properties of lithium batteries.
We have collected information and technical background knowledge for you.
Modern battery systems for electric bikes consist of lithium-ion round cells or
lithium-polymer flat cells.
To achieve the needed output voltage and capacity, the battery is equipped
with multiple cells that are arranged in parallel and series circuits. The lithium
batteries are equipped with control electronics which cause the cells‘ consistent
charging process.
Lithium batteries with small measurements and light weight have a very high
energy density. This causes the batteries to be sensitive. The construction of
the bicycle‘s batteries already follows important safety measures. Despite this,
you should handle the batteries with great care. Inappropriate use damages the
batteries and poses risks. We are not accountable for any damages caused by
wrong handling.
The battery‘s guarantee spans 6 months.
Note the following instructions. Disregard can lead to a shortened lifespan,
in an extreme case to uselessness after just a few uses and thus the loss of
entitlement to guarantee/warranty!
• Do not ride until the battery is completely empty but charge it every now
and then. Many small charging processes extend the lifespan. To see the
state of charge, check the display on the handlebar or on the battery.
• Avoid unnecessary strain on the battery. If you are using a bike without
electric drive, you will change to a low gear when starting, ascending
a slope or in strong headwind. If you choose a high gear, you will strain
yourself and have a hard time.
When starting, ascending or in strong headwind with electric drive,the
motor can do the required work even in higher gears, however, this strains
your battery.
Conclusion: use the gear change when starting, ascending and in strong
headwind.
16 Copyright SVB-Spezialversand Bremen / www.svb.de / Rev. 2018
• The electric drive is most efficient at 50 to 60 pedal rotations per minute.
Only change to a higher gear when when you have exceeded this pedaling
frequency.
• Regularly examine the tyre pressure.
A somehwat “flat” tyre has a high rolling resistance and diminishes the
battery reach.
• The use within temparatures spanning between 0°C to approx. 40°C is
easiest on the battery.
• Charging is easy on the battery within temperatures of 20°C
(room temperature), never under 0°C.
• During longer breaks between uses (1 to 2 weeks) only stow the batteries
halfway charged and in approx. 20°C (+/-5°C) and at normal humidity.
After 2 months, it should be recharged for approx. 2-3 hours using the
corresponding charger.
Attention: just recharge, do not fully charge.
Maintenance, storage and transport
Storage:
Over extended periods of time, lithium batteries should be stored not fully
but halfway charged.
Procedure:
Charge the empty lithium battery approx. 2 - 3 hours using the
corresponding charger.
After charging, separate battery and charger from each other and store
them in a dry and well ventilated place.
Despite minor self-drain, this procedure should be repeated every 2 months.
Storage conditions for the lithium battery and charger:
Surrounding temperatures of - 5°C to 55°C and humidity from 5 % to 75%.
If the battery is out of use for more than a month (winter
break), the ideal storage temperature is approx. 20°C (+/-5°C).
If you want to store the battery in a garage or a basement, please
consider the humidity.
There should be no aggressive/corrosive liquids or objects within the
surroundings of the place of storage.
The place of storage needs to have sufficient distance from strong heat
sources or open fire.
Rev. 2018 / www.svb.de / Copyright SVB-Spezialversand Bremen 17
Maintenance:
Clean the lithium battery with a damp cloth. Please regard the general safety
notes. Pay special attention to dusty/sticky stainings in the area of the electric
connectors. Here, current leaks can occur and lead to draining of the battery.
Make sure that no water can enter the switch and keep the battery chamber dry.
Transport:
Due to the low flashpoint* of the lithium part, lithium batteries are classified as
part of the category hazardous materials (flashpoint lithium = 170° C).
The transport of lithium batteries by land (car, bus, etc.) should be executed in a
stable container. The battery connectors are to be secured from possible short
circuits. During transport the container should protect the battery from vibrations,
heavy collisions or deformation. The container should be stored in a cool place in
the vehicle and be exposed to neither sun nore rain.
The transport of big lithium batteries* by air partly demands strict safety
precautions. You can get more information from your airline.
*
Batteries with more than 8 gramme of lithium count as “big“. Depending on
the battery‘s performance (watt-hours) it is possible to conclude the amount of
lithium. 100 Wh equate to approx. 8 gramme of lithium. You can calculate the
value of your lithium battery by multiplying the ampere-hour value with the
nominal voltage. (e.g. 8,7Ah x 36 V = 313 Wh; equates approx. 25 g lithium).
General safety notes
• Never short-circuit the PLUS and MINUS contacts on the charger or the
main contacts on the backside of the battery.
• Never discharge the battery over the charger‘s contacts.
• Do not charge the battery over the main contacts on the backside of the
battery.
• Keep sufficient distance from strong heat sources or open fire.
• Do not expose the batteries to strong vibrations, collisions or high pressure.
• Use the battery under mostly dry circumstances.
• Make sure that no rain or splash water can enter the switch or the
connector area.
• The main contacts on the backside of the battery should never be exposed
to rain or water of any kind.
• Intruding water, saltwater or similar liquids can lead to a wrong
charging current / a wrong charging voltage.
In the worst case the battery could overheat, catch fire or explode.
18 Copyright SVB-Spezialversand Bremen / www.svb.de / Rev. 2018
• Use (drain) the battery in surrounding temperatures from - 20°C to 55°C and
humidity up to 75%.
• Always keep batteries and chargers out of the reach of children.
• During longer breaks from usage, remove the battery from the bike‘s
bracket and stow it separately as explained previously.
• Never open, deconstruct or modify the battery - there is a fire / explosion
risk.
• A defective fuse may only be replaced with one of the same value.
• Should outages occur continuously, please inform your specialized trader or
a qualified work shop.
• Do not use the battery if you notice corrosion, smells or excessive heat.
• Never use water or other liquids to cool an overly heated battery or to put it
out during a fire.
• Do not use damaged or deformed batteries (e.g. after an accident/fall).
An internal short-circuit may cause the battery to overheat after a few hours.
Remove the damaged battery from the bike and store it outside on fireproof
ground or in a fireproof container.
• Damaged / deformed batteries should not be used anymore but disposed of.
Please note that defective batteries do not count as domestic
waste and should instead be properly disposed of (redemption
by vendors, communal disposal of hazardous waste,etc.). Before
transport or dispoal, cover the battery connections with tape to
prevent accidental short-circuits.

8. Care instructions
To guarantee a long lifespan for your electric bike, please keep some important
instructions in mind.
Make sure to dry your bike and wipe off dirt after use. If the bike has had contact
with salt water, immediately clean the electric bike with fresh water. Regularly
use proper care products to protect it from possible corrosion. If you plan on
stowing the bike in a valise, provide sufficient ventilation to prevent corrosion
damage.
Chain, motor and electric parts should be examined and maintained regularly.
For the protection of cables, electric plugs and electric contacts we recommend
„Wet.Protect“ Art. Nr. 68127.
For the mechanic parts „Marine-Spray“ Art. Nr. 16616. Douse the entire bike
without the spray trickling down. Be especially attentive when dousing the cracks
and joints. Prior to use, the bike should be cleaned once. Delicate parts like the
chain, the spokes‘ nuts and sire ropes can be protected with marine grease once.
The same preventive care is to be executed before the winter.
Stainless steel demands precautionary care as well. Without proper care, even
stainless steel can display flash rust or crevice corrosion within just a few weeks.
Insufficient care can lead to corrosion.
Complaints about corrosion are not acknowledged as a warranty case.
Reports on cycling accidents caused by material fatigue, etc. keep showing
up in the media. Regularly check the frame, handlebar and rims for possible
deformations or crackings.
