4 Safety information
4.1 Basic safety information
Please read all the warnings and information in this User
Manual carelly before using the bike. Keep this User
Manual near your bike for ready reference.
If you hand this bike over to someone else, don't forget to
give them the User Manual as well.
4.2 For your own safety
› Always use a suitable bicycle helmet and wear it
correctly.
4.3 Information for parents and legal
guardians
› Make sure that your child has been taught, and
also understands, how to handle the bike safely
and responsibly in the environment in which it is
going to be used.
› Explain to your child how to operate all the
brakes, and also how they work and any special
features. For rther important information on
this matter, refer to ➠
levers and brake systems".
› As the legal guardian, you are responsible for the
safety of your child and any damage he/she may
cause when cycling. You should therefore make
absolutely sure that the bike is in technically
sound condition and adjust it regularly to the
size of the child.
Chapter 21 "Brake, brake
› Wear bright clothing or reective elements so
that other road users can see you in good time.
› Wear shoes with a sti, and whenever possible,
non-slip sole.
› Wear close-tting clothing on your legs, or wear
trouser clips.
› Wear protective clothing such as robust shoes
and gloves.
4.4 Safety in road trac
› Observe the applicable trac regulations.
› Never ride with no hands!
› In some countries children below a certain age
must ride on the pavement and must also dismount when crossing the road. Please familiarise
yourself with the applicable regulations.
› Adjust your handling on wet or slippery roads;
ride more slowly and brake carelly and in good
time as you will require a much greater braking
distance.
› Adopt a speed that reects the terrain as well as
your riding ability.
› Do not listen to music through headphones when
cycling.
› Do not cycle when using a mobile phone.
› Use designated cycle paths when not using pub-
lic roads.

Chapter 30 "Technical
Chapter 30 "Techni-
Bear in mind that with intensive use of your bike wear
increases accordingly. Many bike parts, particularly
on light sports bikes, are only designed for a specic
period of use. If this is exceeded, there is a considerable risk that components could fail.
Perform care and maintenance on your bike regularly.
In doing so, check important components, particularly
the ame, fork, wheel suspension, handlebar, handlebar stem, seatpost and brakes for warping and damage. If you notice changes such as cracks, bulges or
warping, have your bike checked by a specialist cycle
shop before using again.

Never inate the tyres to less than the minimum or
more than the maximum specied tyre pressure. As a
rule of thumb, e.g. when on the road, you can check
the tyre pressure as follows: If you press your thumbs
into the inated tyre, there should not be much give
in the tyre even if you press hard.
Check the tyres and rims for damage, foreign bodies,
e. g. glass agments or sharp stones and deformation.
If cuts, cracks or holes are visible, do not ride o. Instead, take your bike to a professional bike workshop
and have it checked.
Make sure the brake levers are always within easy
reach and that you know how to operate the right/
le brake levers and where to nd them. Make a note
of which brake lever operates the ont and which the
rear wheel brake.
Modern brake systems can have a far more powerl
and dierent braking eect than those you are already
familiar with. Before setting o, familiarise yourself
with the eects of the brakes on a safe trac-ee
area.
If you are using a bike with carbon-bre rims, bear
in mind that the braking behaviour of this material is
much poorer than aluminium rims.
Make sure that the wheels are securely fastened in the
ame and forks. Check that the quick-release device
and all important fastening screws and nuts are securely fastened.

Although a great deal of care has been taken during
production and assembly, parts may still come loose
or change nction during transportation for example.
You should therefore always check the following before every ride:
• Bell and lighting are working properly and se-
curely fastened
• Brake system is working properly and securely
fastened
• If a hydraulic brake is tted to your bike, make
sure the lines and connections are tight
• Check the tyres and rims for damage and foreign
bodies and check the wheel runs true, especially

9 Setting up the bike for the rider
Road bikes or mountain bikes can also be supplied without pedals.
Proceed as follows if you wish to t pedals to your bike
yourself:
9.1 Fitting the pedals
› Coat both pedal threads with lubricant (grease).
The le pedal has a le-handed thread which is normally indicated by an "L" embossed on the axle. The
right pedal has a right-handed thread which is normally indicated by an embossed "R".
• Sucient tread depth on the tyres
• The suspension elements are in working order
and are securely fastened
• Screws, nuts and quick-release devices are se-
cure
• Frame and fork for deformation and damage
• Handlebar, handlebar stem, seatpost and saddle
in the correct position and safely and properly
secured
If you are not sure whether your bike is in a technically sound condition, do not ride it and have it checked
by a professional bike workshop instead.

9.2 Adjusting the seat position
9.2.1 Adjusting the bike saddle
The seat position is decisive for your well-being and cycling performance.
› Do not remove or change the seatpost or saddle
clamp. If you change or modi components, this
renders the warranty invalid.
› Tighten all screws to the prescribed torque as
otherwise screws could shear o and components could come loose or detach altogether (see
➠
Chapter 30 "Technical data").
Only use the designated cleats and shoes for MTB,
racing and system pedals. If you use other cleats/
shoes you may slip out of the pedals.
Riders who are inexperienced in the use of MTB system
pedals or road system pedals, also referred to as click
pedals, are vulnerable to falls with potentially serious
consequences. If you use system pedals, practise clicking
into the pedal and releasing the shoe om the pedal when
the bike is stationary. Never practise this in road trac.
Read the user manual of the pedal and shoe manufacturer.
You can also nd more information on this subject in
the Internet. A list of links is provided in ➠ Chapter 29
"Link list" .
Only work on the bike if you have the correct tools
and requisite knowledge. Always have complex or
safety-relevant work carried out by a specialist cycle
shop.
9.2.2 Operating the quick-release device
› All quick-release devices must be tightened se-
curely before you set o. Check this before every
journey.
› If you leave your bike unattended, check that all
quick-release devices are correctly secured before setting o again.
› When closing the quick-release lever to lock it,
it must be necessary to apply a force that causes
you to make a st with your hand as otherwise
the quick-release device could come loose.

To open the quick-release device, proceed as follows:
› Throw back the quick-release lever so that its inner
face or the lettering OPEN is visible.
› Open the quick-release device as far as possible.
› When closed, quick-release levers must lie at
against the ame, fork and saddle clamp. Make
sure that quick-release devices for the hubs point
backwards when closed as otherwise they could
snag on obstructions when the bike is moving
and open. This could lead to serious accidents.
9.2.3 Determining the correct saddle height
› Sit on the bike saddle.
› Try to reach the pedal with your heel when it is in
the bottom position. Your knee should be more or
less lly straightened out.
› Place the balls of your feet on the centre of the
pedal. If your knee is now slightly bent, the saddle
height is correct.
› Turn the adjusting nut anticlockwise to rther
slacken the quick-release device.
To close the quick-release device, proceed as follows:
› Adjust the clamping strength by turning the adjust-
ing nut.
› If the quick-release device closes too easily, open
it again and turn the adjusting nut clockwise.
› If the quick-release device still closes too easily,
repeat the previous step.
› If the quick-release device is too dicult to close,
turn the adjusting nut anticlockwise.
› Turn back the quick-release lever om the OPEN
position so you can see the outer side of the lever
or the lettering CLOSE.
Never tighten the seatpost if the maximum mark or
stop mark is above the top of the seat tube as otherwise you could injure yourself or damage the seatpost. Always observe the specied tightening torques.
In ll-suspension mountain bikes the seat tube is also
open at the bottom, so the seatpost should only be inserted a certain distance downwards to ensure the rear swing
arm and suspension element never come into contact
when the bike is in use.
14 I General User Manual
9.2.4.1 With a two-bolt seatpost
The minimum insertion depth is marked on the seatpost. If this is not the case, the minimum insertion
depth must be 7.5 cm. In ames with long seat tubes
that project beyond the top tube, the minimum insertion depth is 10 cm.
Observe stop
mark.
9.2.4 Adjusting the saddle angle
› Your bike saddle should be as close as possible to
horizontal.
› You can make use of longer bike rides to nd out
what your most comfortable seat position is. If you
want to tilt the saddle, try tilting it very slightly
forwards. If you tilt the saddle back, this can quickly lead to pain or physical injury.
Some seatposts have two screws for adjusting the saddle angle, one in ont of and one behind the seat tube.
If you want to tilt the saddle forwards, loosen the rear
screw with an Allen key and tighten the ont screw by the
same number of revolutions. To tilt the saddle backwards,
loosen the ont screw and tighten the other to the same
degree. Then retighten both screws observing the correct
tightening torque (see ➠
Chapter 30 "Technical data").

bike.
13.1 Frame with rear suspension
If you wish to ride ooad in a particularly sporty manner
or with a high degree of comfort, you may have opted for a
ll-suspension model. In this case, the rear triangle of the
main ame is not rigid; instead it can move and is spring
mounted and damped by a shock absorber.
Full-suspension ame
Dierent types of suspension elements are used. These
are mainly shock absorbers equipped with a steel spring
or an air chamber whose air is compressed due to the
action of the suspension. In high-quality shock absorbers,
the damping action, that regulates the speed of compression and rebound, can be adjusted. This task is performed
by a system of oil chambers and ducts.
Although this type of shock absorber oers a higher degree of riding safety and comfort, it requires special handling. This User Manual contains only general information
in this regard. Detailed information and advice is provided
in the instructions om the shock absorber manufacturer
enclosed with the CD and can also be obtained om your
specialist cycle shop.
13.2 Care and maintenance
You can clean your ll-suspension MTB in the usual manner. Hot water with a little washing-up liquid or a gentle
detergent which you can obtain om your specialist cycle
shop are suitable for this.
You should avoid using a high-pressure cleaner to
clean your bike as the cleaning uid can also enter
sealed bearings due to the high pressure and damage
them beyond repair.
You should carelly wipe down the piston of the shock absorber and the seal with a so cloth as part of your regular
bike maintenance. If you spray a little spray oil, e.g. om
Brunox, on the running surface of the shock absorber and
the seal, this increases its performance and service life.
You should regularly check the articulations of the rear
triangle for play. To do this, li the wheel and try to move
the rear wheel sideways.
You can detect play in the mounting bushes of the shock
absorber by liing the rear wheel up and setting it back
down quickly. If you sense play or hear a rattling noise,
have your bike checked immediately by a professional
bike workshop.
Your safety depends to a large extent on whether the
suspension elements are securely fastened and are
working correctly. You should therefore regularly look
aer and inspect your ll-suspension bike.
The website of the relevant suspension element
manufacturer may also prove to be a valuable source
of information. Informative and helpl links are provided in ➠
Your specialist cycle shop should have adjusted the suspension for you before handing over your new bike. Your

• type of use and
• distance travelled.
15 Checking the bottom bracket
16 Wheels
16.1 Checking the wheels
The wheels connect the bike with the surface you are riding on. The wheels are subject to a particularly high level
of stress due to unevenness of the riding surface and the
weight of the rider.
The wheels are carelly checked and trued prior to delivery. However, the spokes may settle when you ride the
rst kilometres on your bike.
› Have the wheels checked again and trued if neces-
sary aer the rst 100 kilometres by a specialist
cycle shop.
The cranks must be securely fastened as this could
otherwise damage the crankset.
› The cranks can come loose which is why you should
regularly check whether they are securely fastened
by attempting to rock them to and o.
› If there is play in the cranks, have the bike checked
and the cranks fastened securely by a professional
bike workshop .
If your bike has a carbon ame and a bottom bracket
housing for a BB30 bottom bracket please note the
following:
In this case you can t an adapter so that a bottom
bracket with conventional BSA thread can be used.
However, bear in mind
• You can only install the adapter if the ame is
completely undamaged. Repairing a defective
BB30 housing serves no purpose. If it is not
installed correctly, the bottom bracket housing
may be damaged which would render the warranty void. This kind of adapter should only be
tted by a specialist cycle shop.
› You should subsequently regularly check the ten-
sion in the spokes and have loose or damaged
spokes replaced, and/or have the wheel trued, by a
specialist cycle shop.
The wheel can be attached to the ame and fork in a number of dierent ways. In addition to the standard systems
in which the wheel is held on by axle nuts or quick-release
devices, dierent types of oating axles exist. These can
be held in place by a screw connection or dierent types
of quick-release devices. If your bike has a oating axle,
please also refer to the enclosed manufacturer's user manual or visit the web pages of the relevant manufacturer in
the Internet.
Tighten all screws to the prescribed torque as otherwise screws could shear o and components could
come loose or detach altogether (see ➠

• Once the adapter has been tted in the carbon
ame it cannot be removed.
16.2 Checking the hubs
To check the hub bearings, proceed as follows:
› Li the wheel and spin it.
› Check whether the wheel continues to turn through
several revolutions before it stops moving. If it
stops suddenly, the bearing is damaged. This does
not apply for ont wheels with hub dynamos.
› To determine whether there is play in the hub bear-
ing, try rocking the wheel in the bike fork or rear

triangle backwards and forwards perpendicular to
the direction of travel.
17 Tyres and inner tubes
› If you notice that there is play between the bear-
ings or if you encounter resistance when turning
the wheel, have the hub bearing adjusted by a specialist cycle shop.
16.3 Checking the rims
If you are using a rim brake, the rim is subject to a higher
degree of wear.
If a rim is worn it loses stability which makes it
more susceptible to damage. If the rim is deformed,
cracked or broken this can lead to serious accidents.
If you notice changes in a rim on your bike, do not
ride on it. Have the problem checked by a professional bike workshop.
17.1 Tyres
A large number of dierent tyre types exist. The bike's
ooad capability and rolling resistance depend on tread
prole.
Only inate the tyre to the maximum permissible tyre
pressure as otherwise it may burst.
Inate the tyre at least to the specied minimum air
pressure. If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may
detach om the rim.
The maximum permissible tyre pressure, and normally
also the minimum permissible pressure, can be found
on the tyre sidewall.
Always replace the tyre with a tyre of the same type,
dimension and prole as otherwise the ride characteristics may be adversely aected. This can lead to
accidents.
Rims for bikes with wheel sizes greater than 24" are
supplied with a rim wear indicator. These rims have
a characteristic curve or groove that runs round the
entire circumference.
Replace the rim as soon as you notice marks (grooves,
coloured spots) in one location on the rim, if an
embossed marking has disappeared or if a coloured
marking has worn down.
If the marking consists of a groove or several points
on the rim side wall, have the rim replaced as soon as
it wears o.
Tyres are wear parts. Check the tread depth, tyre pressure and condition of the tyre sidewalls regularly.
Replace worn tyres before using the bike.
Note the dimension of the tted tyre. Standard designations are used when stating the tyre dimension.
• Example 1: "46-622" means the tyre is 46mm
wide and the rim diameter is 622mm.
• Example 2: "28 × 1.60 inches" means that the tyre
diameter is 28 inches and the tyre width is 1.60
inches.

17.2 Tubeless tyres
Tubeless tyres are also used nowadays, especially with
modern mountain bikes, but also with road bikes to a lesser extent. Although the oer a number of benets, they
must be used and handled with caution.
Only use tubeless tyres on suitable rims. These are
identied accordingly, e.g. using the abbreviation
"UST".
Only use tubed tyres on the designated rims. These do
not have turned-up edges (rim anges) and instead
have a smooth inwards-curving surface onto which
the tubed tyre is glued.
Only use the tubed tyres of the prescribed type and in
the prescribed manner with the correct tyre pressure.
Special skills and a great deal of experience are
required to glue on tubed tyres. Always have tubed
tyres replaced at a professional bike workshop. Find
out how to handle tubed tyres correctly and how to
replace them safely.
Only use tubeless tyres of the prescribed type and in
the prescribed manner, with the right tyre pressure
and, if applicable, using the recommended sealing
uid.
Tools must not be used to remove tubeless tyres om the
rim as otherwise leaks may subsequently occur. If the
sealing uid does not remedy the defect, the valve can be
removed and a normal inner tube used.
17.3 Tubed tyres
Tubed tyres are also used, particularly on bikes used in
sports competitions. With this tyre type, the inner tube
is sewn into the casing and this unit is glued rmly to the
designated rim using special adhesive. Tubed tyres oer
enhanced safety in the event of a puncture and improved
emergency-running characteristics
17.4 Inner tubes
The inner tube is necessary to maintain the pressure inside the tyre. It is inated via a valve.
Three valve types exist:

19.1 Derailleur gears
This User Manual describes the handling of typical, commercially available gear-shi components for MTB, ATB,
cross and road bikes. Separate instructions are provided
for other components on the CD or on the web pages of the
relevant manufacturer in the Internet. If you have questions on installation, adjustment, maintenance and operation, please consult a specialist cycle shop.
If gear-shi components are loose, worn, damaged or
adjusted incorrectly, this poses a risk of injury to the
rider. Have the derailleur gears adjusted at a professional bike workshop.
• Always contact your specialist cycle shop if the
chain jumps o the chainrings or sprockets when
riding or
• you hear unusual noises or
• you cannot change gears easily or
• the rear derailleur, ont derailleur or other
gear-shi components are loose, damaged or
distorted or
• chain links are defective or worn.
30 I General User Manual
19.1.1 Operating the shiing lever
The bike chain must not be on the smallest chainring
at the ont and the small outer rear sprocket wheel
simultaneously. The bike chain must not be on the
largest chainring at the ont and large inner sprocket
wheel at the rear simultaneously. Otherwise the bike
chain could jump o.
Never pedal backwards when changing gears as you
could damage the gear-shi mechanism.
Only make changes to the gear-shi system carelly
and in small increments. If settings are made incorrectly, the bike chain could jump o the sprocket
wheel and cause you to fall o the bike. If you are
unsure about what to do, have this work carried out
by a professional bike workshop.
Even if the gear system is perfectly adjusted, it can
produce noise if the chain is running at an extremely
sharp angle. This does not mean it is defective and
does not damage the drive. As soon as the chain is at
a more shallow angle, the noise will disappear.

separate information or enclosed instructions.
If you have questions on installation, adjustment, maintenance and operation, please consult a specialist cycle
shop.
The gears can be changed when the pedals are turning. Very occasionally, the hub may produce a harmless noise which is caused by its internal cogs and
stop notches.
If you encounter resistance when turning the wheel,
the brake pads will need to be replaced or the hub
will need to be lubricated. This should be done by a
professional bike workshop.
If the chain jumps o the the sprockets when you are
riding, the slack in the chain must be taken up immediately. If there is no rther scope for adjustment, the
sprockets and chain must be replaced.

20 Bike chain
There are two types of bike chain:
• A wide bike chain (½ × 1 / 8") for hub gears and
• A narrow bike chain for derailleur gears. These are
available in dierent widths, depending on how
may sprockets are on the cassette. Only use chains
that are approved for precisely the number of
sprocket wheels on your bike.
› Clean and lubricate your bike chain regularly.
› To prevent premature wear of the bike chain when
using derailleur gears, select gears that keep the
chain skew as marginal as possible.
To check the wear in the bike chain, proceed as follows:
› Take the section of the chain that rests on the ont
chainring between your thumb and forenger.
› Pull the bike chain o the chainring. If the bike
chain can be lied by a signicant amount, it is
worn and must be replaced by a new one.
Tighten all screws to the prescribed torque as otherwise screws could shear o and components could
come loose or detach altogether (see ➠
"Technical data").
Chapter 30
20.1 Maintenance of bike chains
Bike chains are wear parts. Bike chains with hub gears
wear out aer roughly 3000km, and aer roughly
2000km with derailleur gears.
If the bike chain is worn, it can break and cause a
crash. If your bike chain is worn, have it replaced by
your specialist cycle shop before using the bike again.
› With hub gears, the chain tension must be adjusted
so that vertical play of one to two centimetres is
present in the unsupported chain span between the
chainring and sprocket wheel.
To take up the slack in the bike chain, proceed as follows:
› Loosen the rear wheel nuts.
› Pull the wheel back into the dropouts until only the
permissible amount of play is present in the bike
chain.
› Tighten all screw connections carelly clockwise.

refer to the separate information or enclosed instructions.
If you have questions on installation, adjustment, maintenance and operation, please consult a specialist cycle
shop.
21.1 Important information and
precautionary measures
Rubber brake blocks and brake pads must not come into
contact with oil or grease. If the rubber brake blocks and
brake pads come into contact with oil or grease, this drastically reduces their braking performance and they must
be replaced.
Tighten all screws to the prescribed torque as otherwise screws could shear o and components could
come loose or detach altogether (see ➠
"Technical data").
Chapter 30
"Bicycles must be equipped with 2 brakes that operate independently of one another."
Paragraph 65 of the German Road Trac Licensing
Regulation (StVZO), similar rules apply in all other EU
countries.
Have maintenance work on the brakes carried out by a
professional bike workshop.
Do not allow uids containing oils to come into contact with the brake pads, brake contact surfaces on
the rim, brake blocks or brake disc as this could otherwise impair the eectiveness of the brake.
Brake blocks and brake pads are wear parts. Check the
wear condition of these parts regularly. This can be identied by a marking. On the brake block, for example, the
grooves will no longer be visible. Always replace both
brake blocks at the same time.
Use genuine spare parts only as otherwise you could impair the nctions of the bike or damage it.
To obtain correct iction pairing, only use brake pads that
are suitable for the rim as otherwise the braking distance
would be extended and wear increased. With carbon rims
in particular, only brake pads that are expressly intended
for this purpose should be used.
Brake cables are wear parts. You should check the
wear condition of the brake cables regularly and replace these if necessary.
Check the brake cable for rust and aying and replace
the cable if it is faulty. If you do not, the brakes could
malnction.
There are dierent types of brakes, the type of brake depends on what it is used for:
• hub brakes,
• disc brakes and
• rim brakes.
The brakes can be operated mechanically or hydraulically.
With hub gears, the brake lever that operates the ont
wheel brake is normally on the right-hand side, and
with derailleur gears it is on the le. Remind yourself
of the position of the brake lever before you ride o.
If you wish to attach the brake lever on the opposite
side of the handlebar, follow the manufacturer's user
manual or ask your specialist cycle shop to do this.
I General User Manual 41
21.2 Brake lever
21.2.1 Standard brake lever
The bike is equipped as standard with a suitable brake
lever. Check regularly that when you operate the brake
lever it does not reach the handlebar and make contact
with it. With the brake lever pulled, push the bike forward
and check whether the braking performance is sucient.
If the bike rolls slightly forwards, you will need to have
the brake cable readjusted or the brake pads replaced.

21.3.1 Drum and roller brakes
With the roller brake or drum brake, the braking force is
transmitted via a cable om the hand brake lever to the
brake system. If applied continuously for an extended
period, roller brakes or drum brakes become very hot.
This reduces the braking performance and can result in
complete failure of the brake. You should adapt your handling accordingly.
The brake lever of roller and drum brakes requires
special tuning.
› Check regularly that the screws on the brake lever
are tight.
› Turn them clockwise to retighten if necessary. For
the correct tightening torque, refer to ➠
"Technical data".
Chapter 30
21.3 Hub brakes
Hub brakes are virtually maintenance-ee as the brake
block is inside the hub.
If applied continuously for an extended period, hub
brakes become very hot. This reduces the braking
performance and ultimately complete failure of the
brake. You should adapt your handling accordingly.
› Pull on the ont wheel or rear wheel hand brake
lever with the same amount of force as you would
apply when braking sharply during a ride. Then
push the bike forwards. The rear wheel should lock.
The ont wheel should decelerate so rapidly that
the bike starts to tip forwards.
› Lubricate the cable-pull regularly.
Brake pads are wear parts. Have the brake pads for
back-pedal, roller and drum brakes checked regularly,
and replaced if necessary, by a professional bike
workshop.
If you have not used your bike for a while, there may
be surface rust in the brake drum which can increase
the braking force. You should therefore brake gently
several times when riding o to remove the surface
rust. This prevents sudden blocking of the brake.
42 I General User Manual
21.3.2 Back-pedal brake
Avoid operating the back-pedal brake continuously on
long descents as the internal components of the brake
system can become extremely hot which reduces braking performance. On long steep descents, always alternate between the rear wheel brake and the second
brake (ont wheel brake) to allow the rear wheel
brake to cool down. As the brake drum can become
extremely hot when braking for prolonged periods,
you should not touch it for at least 30 minutes aer
riding.
Brake drum
With back-pedal brakes the braking force is transmitted
by the foot via the chain to the brake system. If applied
continuously for an extended period, back-pedal brakes
become very hot. This reduces the braking performance
and can result in complete failure of the brake. You should
adapt your handling accordingly.
The back-pedal brake is operated by pedalling backwards. The force applied by the back-pedal brake
varies depending on the position of your feet/pedals.
If the crank arms are vertical, i.e. one of your feet is
in the highest position and the other is in the lowest
position, you cannot brake hard. Move the crank arms
into a horizontal position if you think you may want/
have to brake.
The back-pedal brake is easy to apply in a controlled
manner. The maximum braking performance is only
reached aer a certain run-in period.
Operate the back-pedal brake carelly to familiarise
yourself with it and get a feel for its retarding eect.
If you have not used your bike for a while, there may
be surface rust in the brake drum which can increase
the braking force. If you have not used your bike for
some time, you should brake gently several times
when riding o to remove the surface rust. This prevents sudden blocking of the brake.
If excessive overheating of the hub occurs, this can
lead to loss of lubricant and a sharper braking eect.
In these cases, have the brake checked by a professional bike workshop.
I General User Manual 43
21.4 Rim brakes
V-brakes produce an extremely high braking force.
You should therefore familiarise yourself with the
V-brake and only apply the brake gradually. Practise
emergency braking until you are sure you will be able
to remain lly in control of your bike if you have to
apply the brakes with force.
If additional suspension elements in the brake system
(power modulators) are used improperly, this can lead
to serious accidents. The required spring strength of the
power modulator depends on the gross weight of the bike.
If the brake blocks are so worn that you can no longer see
notches, have them replaced by a professional bike workshop.
21.4.2 Adjusting the brake-pad clearance in
relation to the rim
Turn the cable adjustment bolt to adjust the clearance
between the brake pad and the rim. Turn the bolt inwards
(clockwise) to increase the brake-pad clearance. Turn the
bolt outwards (anticlockwise) to reduce the brake-pad
clearance. The clearance between the brake blocks and
rim should be roughly 1mm.

21.4.1 Readjusting the brake
The brakes on your bike are set correctly at the factory or
by your cycle dealer. The gap between the brake block and
the rim is roughly 1 – 1.5mm. However, as the brake blocks
wear down the gap steadily increases and the brake lever
must travel a greater distance to achieve the same braking
eect. You should therefore inspect the brake at regular
intervals and adjust it if the brake lever travel distance is
too great or the brake is not working properly.
Check the brake as follows:
› Pull the ont wheel and then the rear wheel hand
brake lever with the same amount of force as you
would apply when braking sharply during a ride.
Then push the bike forwards.
› The rear wheel should lock and
› the ont wheel should decelerate so rapidly that
the bike starts to tip forwards.

21.4.3 Wear of brake pad
Most brake pads for rim brakes come with grooves or
notches.
New brake pad
If these grooves are worn and can no longer be seen, this
is normally a sign that the brake pad is worn.
If required, you can readjust the rebound force via the
spring adjustment screw so that both brake arms move
symmetrically. Once you have done this, check that the
brake is working properly (see ➠
ing the brake").
If the brake is still not working properly, or the brake
pad is so worn that it is not possible to readjust it,
have your bike checked at a professional bike workshop and replace the brake block.

I General User Manual 45
If you hear unusual noises when braking, the brake blocks
may have reached their wear limit. Allow the brakes to
cool down then check the brake block depth. Have the
brake blocks replaced if necessary.
When installing, removing and carrying out maintenance on the wheel, do not touch the brake disc with
your ngers when it is turning. You could be seriously
injured if you catch your ngers in the cutouts of the
brake disc.
The brake calliper and the disc can become extremely
hot when braking. You should therefore not touch
these parts when riding the bike or immediately aer
dismounting as you could burn yourself. Before adjusting the brakes, check that the parts have cooled
down suciently.
If the brake disc is worn, cracked or bent it must be replaced. Have this work carried out by a professional bike
workshop.
If the depth of the brake blocks is less than 0.5mm, they
must be replaced.
> 0.5mm 0.5mm
21.5.1 Hydraulic disc brake
The hand brake lever of the hydraulic disc brake is
equipped with a master cylinder. The hydraulic uid is
fed through a tube to the brake cylinders. This actuates
the brake pistons which push the brake blocks against the
brake disc. This type of brake requires little maintenance
and can be very powerl.
You must only t a disc brake on your bike providing
suitable mounting devices are installed on the ame
and the bike fork. If in doubt, consult a specialist
cycle shop.
If the brake blocks come into contact with oil or grease,
they must be replaced. If the brake disc comes into contact with oil or grease, it must be cleaned as otherwise its
braking performance will be drastically reduced.
Check whether the quick-release lever for the wheel is
on the side opposite the brake disc. If the quick-release
lever is on the same side as the brake disc, there is a
danger you could burn yourself when operating the lever.
The heat in the brake disc could also reduce the clamping
force of the quick-release device.
Once the brakes have been adjusted, always perform
a brake test by pushing the bike quickly forwards and
operating the brake lever. You should only use your
bike if you can safely stop it using the brakes.
Check regularly, also before each journey, that the lines
and connections are tight. If lines and connections are not
tight, brake uid may escape om the brake system. The
brake may not work properly as a result.
If uid escapes om the braking system, do not use the
bike and have the necessary repair work carried out immediately by a professional bike workshop.
If you continue riding the bike in this condition, the risk
of brake failure is extremely likely.
If the brake blocks come into contact with oil or grease,
they must be replaced. If the brake disc comes into contact with oil or grease, it must be cleaned as otherwise its
braking performance will be drastically reduced.
46 I General User Manual
21.5.2 Vapour bubble formation
› Vapour bubble formation can occur if the brakes
are operated continuously for some time, e. g. during a long steep descent.
Instead of applying gentle pressure continuously
with the brakes, operate them for shorter periods,
with more force if necessary, releasing the brake
lever intermittently.
› Vapour bubbles form if water in the brake uid
heats up, evaporates and forms bubbles in the
brake system.
As these are easily compressed, the brake lever travel
distance increases.
When transporting or storing the bike upside down,
air bubbles can form in the brake system uid reservoir.
If you then use the bike, the brakes could fail and
cause a serious accident.
Once the bike is in the correct riding position, pull the
brake lever several times to check whether the brakes
respond normally.
Brake pads and brake blocks are wear parts. Have the
brake pads of hydraulic disc brakes checked regularly,
and replaced if necessary, by a professional bike
workshop.
21.5.3 Cleaning the brake system
If the brake blocks come into contact with oil or grease,
they must be replaced. If the brake disc comes into contact with oil or grease, it must be cleaned as otherwise its
braking performance will be drastically reduced.
› Clean and maintain the brake system using isopro-
pyl alcohol, soapy water or a dry cloth. Do not use
commercially available brake cleaning agents or
agents to prevent braking noises as these can damage components such as the seals.
21.5.4 Fitting/removing the wheel
› When removing the wheel, we recommend you
use a brake block spacer. This prevents the piston
om being pushed out if the brake lever is operated once the wheel has been removed. This also
prevents air bubbles in the expansion vessel om
entering the system.
If not, adjust them as follows:
› Adjust the brake lever so it is parallel to the ground
and operate it slowly several times so the bubbles
return to the reservoir.
› If the response is still poor, the brake system must
be vented. Have this work carried out by a specialist cycle shop.
› If the brake lever is operated and the brake block
spacer is not inserted, the pistons may extend rther than normal. Put the bike in an upright position to push back the brake blocks. Use a clean,
at screw driver or tyre lever and be carel not to
scratch the brake blocks. If the brake blocks are
not tted, push the piston back carelly without
damaging it. If you have trouble pushing back the
brake blocks or piston, remove the reservoir cap
and try again. Note that some oil may ow out the
reservoir.
› Aer tting the wheel, check that the quick-release
lever is on the side opposite the brake disc. If it
is on the same side as the brake disc, there is a
danger of the lever and brake disc obstructing one
another and this could also reduce the clamping
force of the quick-release device.

22 Lighting system
In some EU countries, only lighting systems that are
prescribed by national legislation (the Road Trac Licensing Regulations (StVZO) in Germany for example)
and have been approved for use may be installed on
bikes. If in doubt, ask your specialist cycle shop.
22.1 Specications for lighting system
• At a distance of ve metres, the cone of light
thrown by the ont light must be at half the height
of its exit point. The centre of the cone of light
determines its height.
22.3 Generator / dynamo
The dynamo produces the energy required to operate the
ont and rear lights. There are dierent types of dynamos.
22.3.1 Sidewall dynamo
Sidewall dynamo
5 m
0.5 me. g. 1 m
Aligning the ont light
• The cone of light thrown by the ont light must
only light the road for ten metres at the most. The
centre of the cone of light determines its distance.
22.2 Special regulations for road bikes
• You can t battery-operated ont lights and rear
lights to sports bikes with a maximum weight
of 11 kg (road bike). Please familiarise yourself
with the applicable regulations and, if applicable, have the bike retted.
The dynamo must be positioned so its longitudinal axis
is perpendicular to the wheel axle. The roller must be in
contact with the designated traction surface on the tyre
across its entire width.
Only switch the dynamo on and o when the bike is
stationary as otherwise you could put yourself and
other road users in danger. The sidewall dynamo is
less eective in wet conditions. Provide additional
lighting if necessary.
22.3.1.1 Switching the sidewall dynamo on and o
› Switch the dynamo on/o via the pushbutton or
the lever. The traction roller is now on the tyre
sidewall.
• Always carry these with you.
• Dynamo-operated lighting systems must be used
with bikes that weight more than 11 kg. The lighting system must come with an ocial test mark.
Please familiarise yourself with the applicable
regulations and, if applicable, have the bike retted.
48 I General User Manual
› To switch the dynamo o, pull it away om the tyre
and guide it into its starting position. The dynamo
engages in the starting position.
22.3.2 Hub dynamo
The hub dynamo is inside the hub of the ont wheel. The
hub dynamo is highly ecient, and the wear is extremely
low.
Hub dynamo
There is a switch or a sensor on the back of the ont light
on some bikes with a hub dynamo. The sensor switches
the light on automatically in the twilight or when passing
through a tunnel. Other models have a switch on the handlebar that switches the lighting on and o.
22.4 Failure of the lighting system
If the lighting system fails or develops a fault when
riding in the dark this could cause a serious accident.
Have the fault repaired at a professional bike workshop before you continue your journey.
Extremely powerl (rechargeable) battery-operated bicycle and outdoor lights are available om some retail outlets. With some exceptions, use of these lights on public
roads is not permitted.
If you want to remove the ont wheel, you rst need
to remove the connecting terminal for the light cable.
When you put the ont wheel back on, turn it so that
the connecting terminal for the light cable is on the
right-hand side (facing in the direction of travel). If
the connecting terminal is on the le, the dynamo will
not be able to turn properly or the lighting system
may stop working. Ensure correct polarity of the connections.

23 Add-on components
23.1 Pannier rack
The pannier racks on the bike satis the standard
EN 14873.
The load-carrying capacity of the pannier rack falls into
one of four possible categories: 5kg, 10kg, 18kg and
25kg.
23.1.1 Front pannier rack
The information on load-carrying capacity is embossed on
the pannier rack.
The maximum load it can handle may be higher, depending on its design. This is stated separately.
If you carry luggage, this changes the ride characteristics of your bike. It increases the braking distance
for one thing. This can lead to serious accidents.
Adapt your handling to the dierent ride characteristics. Apply the brakes in good time and bear in mind
that the bike's steering response will be more sluggish.
Only carry luggage on the pannier rack provided for
this purpose. Do not attach carriers to the seatpost.
It is not designed for this purpose. Overloading by a
carrier can lead to component breakages and serious
accidents.
Front pannier rack
Front pannier racks are attached to the ont axle or the
ont fork. They are designed to carry smaller loads than
rear pannier racks. If you carry luggage on this pannier
rack, you must familiarise yourself with the changed
steering response.
Only use suitable pannier bags.
Consult a specialised dealer.
23.1.2 Rear pannier rack
If you carry luggage on your bike, it is extremely important that you do not exceed the maximum permissible
loading (see ➠
If you t another carrier, it must comply with standard EN
14873.
The maximum permissible load must be stated on the carrier (see ➠
50 I General User Manual
Chapter 30 "Technical data").
Chapter 30 "Technical data").
Rear pannier rack
This type of luggage carrier attaches to the rear triangle of
the bike.
If you attach a rear pannier rack to a ll-suspension
ame, the proportion of unsprung weight increases
which changes the suspension behaviour. You will
therefore have to readjust your suspension / damping
accordingly.
If you carry pannier bags or other loads on the pannier racks, make sure they are securely attached.
Make sure that nothing can become caught in the
spokes and the turning wheels.
Only t child seats to rear pannier racks if suitable
xtures are provided. In doing so, be carel not to
exceed the permissible weight category.
If you notice that a wheel guard is damaged, always replace it before using the bike again.
23.2.1 Re-engaging the safety-release
mechanism
Safety mechanism released Safety mechanism engaged
A plastic clip is attached to the end of the strut.
23.2 Wheel guards / mudguards
Additional struts are mounted to hold the mudguards in
the correct position. The strut is at its ideal length if the
inner edge of the wheel guard runs more or less concentrically and parallel to the tyre.
The wheel guard cannot detach when you are riding
normally. If a foreign object lodges between the ont
wheel guard and the tyre and blocks it, the mudguard
struts immediately detach om their mountings on
the fork. This allows the mudguard to deect and the
wheel will not block.
If this happens, the struts must be securely reattached. Have a specialist cycle shop check that the
mudguard, struts and plastic mounts are still in a
serviceable condition.
› Insert this clip on the strut into the easy-clip
mount on the fork until it engages.
› Align the wheel guard so that the tyre and ont
wheel guard do not touch.
To securely reattach the safety-release mechanism,
you may need to push the strut and plastic mount
slightly together by pressing hard.
Never ride with the strut detached, it must be reattached. If this is not possible, have the strut replaced
by a professional bike workshop.
Check regularly that the struts are securely fastened in the
safety-release mechanisms.

the bike before setting o.
Carbon is a specic material that requires special handling and care when setting up and carrying out maintenance on the bike as well as when riding and also during
transportation and storage.
26.1 Properties
Carbon parts must not be deformed, dented or bent
following an accident or crash. It is possible that bres have been destroyed or have detached although
this is not evident externally.
You should therefore inspect the carbon ame and all
other carbon components very carelly if you come o the
bike or if it falls over. If you are not absolutely sure that
the bike is still in a sound condition, have the carbon components in question checked by an expert.
26.2 Torques
› Avoid transporting the bike upside down. Only
attach the bike by the handlebar, handlebar
stem, bike saddle or seatpost if so intended
by the manufacturer of the carrier. Do not use
mountings that could damage the bike fork or
ame.
› Do not attach your bike to the roof or rear-mount-
ed carrier by its pedal cranks. Always attach
bikes by their wheels when transporting them,
unless the carrier is designed for something else,
as otherwise the ame and fork of the bike could
be damaged.
You can also nd important information on using and
tting add-on components and accessories in the
Internet on the pages of the relevant manufacturer.

Chapter 29 contains a link list.
Some carbon components require lower tightening
torques than metal components. If the tightening
torques are too high, this can lead to hidden damage
that may not be visible externally. Frames or other
components can break or change to the extent that
they could fall o. You should therefore always observe the information enclosed by the manufacturer
with the component(s) or ask a specialist dealer for
advice. Use a torque wrench to ensure the right tightness is maintained.
If your bike has a carbon ame and a bottom bracket
housing for a BB30 bottom bracket please note the
following:
In this case you can t an adapter so that a bottom
bracket with conventional BSA thread can be used.
However, bear in mind
• You can only install the adapter if the ame is
completely undamaged. Repairing a defective
BB30 housing serves no purpose. If it is not
installed correctly, the bottom bracket housing
may be damaged which would render the war-

ranty void. This kind of adapter should only be
tted by a specialist cycle shop.
• Once the adapter has been tted in the carbon
ame it cannot be removed.
Inspect the following components and areas regularly (at
least every 100km) for cracks, actures or changes in
surface appearance. Furthermore, if you come o the bike
or if it falls over, these components must always subsequently be inspected:
26.4 Carbon ame
26.3 Visual inspection
If your carbon component has pre-existing damage,
it could suddenly fail completely with potentially disastrous consequences. You should therefore inspect
your carbon ame and components thoroughly on a
regular basis.
› Look for splitting, deep scratches, holes or other
changes in the carbon surface.
› Check whether the components feel soer or
have more give in them than usual.
› Check whether individual layers (paint, nish or
bres) are aking o.
If you suspect a component is no longer sound, you
should denitely replace it before riding your bike
again. You should ideally hand over your bike to a
specialist dealer for inspection.

26.11 Fastening in mounting stand
Only clamp your carbon ame at the seatpost when
fastening your carbon ame in a mounting stand, as
otherwise the clamping mechanism may cause visible or
concealed damage to the ame. If your bike has a carbon
seatpost, we recommend you replace it provisionally with
an aluminium or steel seatpost when carrying out this
work.
26.12 Transportation by car
When transporting the bike on the roof rack or on a towbar cycle carrier, never attach it by its ame. Always attach the bike at the seatpost, and never at the down tube,
top tube, seat tube, fork blades, steering tube, chain stay,
cranks or seat stay.
The clamping mechanism could cause visible or concealed
damage to the ame that may aect your safety. If your
bike has a carbon seatpost, we recommend you replace it
provisionally with an aluminium or steel seatpost when
transporting it.
Retapping of the thread and bearing shells and reaming of the seat tube is not permitted.

27 Care and maintenance of the bike
› Have defective parts replaced before you ride the
bike again.
27.1 Care
Do not allow care products or oils to come into contact with brake pads, brake discs and the rim's brake
contact surfaces. This could reduce the eectiveness
of the brake.
Do not use a powerl water jet or high-pressure
cleaner. If water under under high pressure is directed at the bike, it can enter the bearings. This can dilute the lubricant which increases iction. This leads
to rusting and irrepairable damage to the bearings.
› Touch up damaged paintwork.
Treat all parts that are susceptible to corrosion more
equently than other parts with preservatives and care
products, especially during the winter and in aggressive
environments such as coastal regions as otherwise your
bike will corrode (rust) more powerlly and quickly.
› Clean all galvanised and chrome-plated parts as
well as stainless-steel components regularly.
› Preserve these parts aer cleaning with spray wax.
Make sure that wax does not come into contact
with brake discs and rims.
› If you stop using your bike for a while, in the win-
ter for example, store it in a dry place at a constant
temperature.
› Before putting your bike into storage, inate both
tyres to the prescribed tyre pressure.
Do not clean your bike with
• acids,
• grease,
• hot oil,
• brake cleaners (apart om brake discs) or
• uids containing solvents.
These substances attack the surface of the bike and
accelerate wear.
Dispose of used lubricants, cleaning agents and care
products in an environmentally sound manner. Do not
pour these substances into the domestic waste, down
the drain or into natural water bodies or the soil.
How well the bike works and how long it lasts depends on how well you look aer it.

27.3 Tyres
27.6 Brake discs
Due to their nction, bike tyres are subject to wear. This
depends on how the bike is used and the rider can inuence this signicantly.
› Do not brake so sharply that the wheels lock.
› Check the tyre pressure regularly. The maximum
permissible tyre pressure, and normally also the
minimum permissible pressure, can be found on
the tyre wall.
› If necessary, inate the tyre up to the specied
value. This reduces wear.
› Do not expose the tyres to things that can damage
them such as sunlight, petrol, oil, etc.
27.4 Rims in conjunction with rim brakes
Owing to the interaction of the rim brake with the rim, not
only the brake pad but also the rim is subject to nctionrelated wear. If ne cracks appear or the rim anges
deform when the tyre pressure increases, this indicates
increased wear. Wear indicators on the rim allow its wear
condition to be easily identied.
› Check the wear condition of the rim at regular in-
tervals (see ➠
Chapter 16.3 "Checking the rims").
27.5 Brake pads
The brake pads on rim, roller, drum and disc brakes are
subject to wear, the extent of which depends on how the
bike is used. If the bike is ridden in hilly regions, or used
in a sporty manner, the brake pads may need to be replaced more oen. Check the wear condition of the pads
regularly and, if necessary, have them replaced by a professional bike workshop.
Brake discs also wear out as a result of intensive braking,
or during the course of time. Find out om the manufacturer of your brakes or your specialist cycle shop about
the respective wear limits. You can have worn brake discs
replaced at a professional bike workshop.
27.7 Bike chains or toothed belts
The bike chain is subject to nction-related wear the extent of which depends on care/maintenance and how the
bike is used (mileage, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).

30.2 Maximum permitted loading
of pannier rack
Note that the data on your pannier rack or in the manufacturer's user manual may be dierent.
Observe the minimum screw-in depth. For hard aluminium
alloys this is at least 1.4 times the screw diameter (e.g.
nominal diameter M 5 × 1.4 = 7mm).
Whenever possible, you should tighten all safety-relevant
screw connections using a torque wrench. This indicates
the tightening torque in Nm (Newton metres) in each case.
› If no values are indicated on the component, use
the tightening torques in the following table.
Maximum weight loading of ont pannier rack:
• Loading area above wheel: 10kg
• Low loading area: 18kg
Maximum weight loading of rear pannier rack:

30.3 Tightening torques for screw
connections
Only use a suitable tool, a torque wrench for example,
to tighten the screw connections as otherwise the
screws could shear o or break.
› If the torque has been specied by the manufac-
turer of the component, this has priority.
› Carbon parts must be mounted using a special
mounting paste.
Also note other information or markings on carbon
components regarding the recommended torques.
If you tighten screws too tightly, this could damage
the components
You should therefore always observe the prescribed
tightening torque.

➠
Chapter 11 “Technical data”.
If you wish to make any adjustments to the ride
characteristics of your Pedelec, please consult
your specialist cycle shop.
1.2 Statutory requirements
The Pedelec, like all other bikes, must comply with
the national regulations for road safety. Please
observe the relevant explanations and general
information provided in the “Original User Manual
| General” (CD).
IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
or special information on using the Pedelec.
1.1 General
If risk-ee operation of your Pedelec cannot be
assumed, take it out of operation and make sure
it cannot be used until you have it checked by a
specialist cycle shop. Risk-ee use is no longer
possible if live parts or the battery shows signs of
damage.
Never ride with no hands! This poses an acute risk
of falling.
Take the battery out of the Pedelec before beginning work on the Pedelec.
These statutory requirements apply for a Pedelec:
• The motor is designed only to provide pedal-
ling assistance, i.e. it can only “assist” the rider
when he/she turns the pedals.
• The average motor output must not exceed
250W.
• As the speed increases, the rate at which the
motor output reduces must also increase more
intensely.
• The motor must switch o once the bike reaches
a speed of 25 km/h.
1.2.1 Meaning for the rider
• You do not legally have to wear a helmet. Howev-
er, in the interest of your own safety, you should
never ride without a helmet.
Observe the maximum permitted gross weight
of your Pedelec, as this could otherwise lead to
4 Original User Manual | Pedelec Impulse 2.0
• You do not legally have to have a driving licence.
• You do not legally have to have insurance.
• No age restriction applies for a Pedelec.
• The regulations governing the use of cycle paths
are the same as for normal bikes.
These regulations apply to you wherever you are
in the European Union. It is possible that dierent
regulations exist in other countries, also inside
the EU in individual cases. Before using your Pedelec abroad, nd out about the applicable legislation in the relevant country.
It is generally permitted for children to be carried
in bike trailers on Pedelecs. Observe the maximum
permitted gross weight of the bike ➠ Chapter 30
“Technical data” of the “Original User Manual |
General” (CD). The Impulse 2.0 mountain bike is
an exception. Bike trailers may not be used on this
bike.
1.3 Battery
A short circuit between the battery contacts can
cause burns or re. Short-circuit damage which
emerges in this context voids all guarantee claims.
Batteries must not be exposed to mechanical
shocks. Even if a battery shows no visible signs
of damage aer falling or being knocked, it may
be damaged. For this reason, even batteries that
seem ne must be taken to a specialist dealer for
inspection. Damaged batteries must neither be
charged nor used for another application.
Keep the battery away om children.
Use the battery solely for your Pedelec.
Ideally, take the battery out of your Pedelec when
not in use.
Batteries not designed for use in the Pedelec must
not be used.
Never transport damaged batteries. The safety of
damaged batteries cannot be guaranteed.
The battery contains chemical substances, which
could cause dangerous reactions if the safety
information given here is not adhered to.
Avoid contact with liquid leaking om a damaged
battery. In case of contact, rinse o the liquid with
water. In case of eye contact, consult a doctor
aer rinsing.
Never attempt to repair your battery. Batteries
must not be dismantled, opened or crushed. The
improper opening or destruction of the battery
poses the risk of serious injury. Opening the battery voids the warranty claim. If your battery is
damaged, contact your specialist cycle shop. The
specialists here will discuss the next steps with
you.
A battery must not be exposed to heat (e.g. heater) or re. External heat can cause the battery to
explode. In addition, high temperatures shorten
battery service life. When charging, always ensure
there is adequate ventilation.
Lithium reacts very strongly upon direct contact
with water. Never put the battery into water. Caution is therefore also required in the case of damaged batteries which have become wet: They may
catch re.
In case of re, water should be used to extinguish
any ames in the immediate vicinity, but not the
battery itself. Fire extinguishers with metal re
powder (Class D) are better suited to this task. If
the battery can be safely moved outdoors, the re
can also be suocated using sand.
A battery must not be short-circuited. Batteries
must not be stored unsafely in a box or compartment where they can short-circuit one another
or can be short-circuited by other conductive
materials (paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws).
Original User Manual | Pedelec Impulse 2.0 5
The Pedelec operates using extra-low voltage
(36volts). Never attempt to operate the Pedelec
using power om a source other than a suitable
genuine battery. The designations of approved
batteries are listed in ➠

Chapter 11 “Technical
1.4 Charger
The charger may only be used to charge the battery supplied. Use of the charger for other purposes is not permitted. Any kind of manipulation
of the charger or battery housing is forbidden!
The battery should not be le unattended while
charging. Alternatively, charge the battery in a
metal box.
Damaged batteries must not be charged (risk of
explosion!).
Do not attempt to modi or take apart the charger.
Have repairs carried out only by specialists.
A charger with a damaged mains plug or mains
cable may not be connected to the mains and must
be replaced by a specialist. The same applies for
extension cables that are not in perfect technical
condition.
Do not charge batteries for an extended period if
they will not be used.
If you detect smoke or an unusual smell, immediately unplug the plug of the charger om the socket and disconnect the battery om the charger.
The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage
given on the type plate of the charger. The supply
voltage of the charger is given on the type plate on
the back of the device.
The charger is only intended for use indoors. The
battery may only be charged in a dry, non-ammable environment. During the charging process, the
battery and charger must be placed on an even,
non-ammable surface. Battery and charger must
not be covered. There must be no highly combustible materials in the immediate vicinity. This also
applies when charging the battery on the Pedelec.
In this case, you must place the Pedelec so as to
prevent any re om spreading quickly (exercise
caution with carpeted oors!).
Ingress of water and damp in the charger must
be avoided at all costs. In case of ingress of water, immediately disconnect the charger om the
mains and have it checked by a specialist.
The battery may heat up during charging. A maximum temperature of 45°C may be reached. If the
battery becomes any warmer than this, suspend
the charging process immediately. Such a battery
may no longer be used, and you must have it inspected by the dealer.
No chargers other than those specically intended
for use with the battery may be used. The use of a
dierent charger may cause malnctions, shortened service life, re or explosion.
Do not continue to use damaged batteries and
chargers (plug, housing, cable).
Do not replace the mains cable. This poses the risk
of re and explosion.
Condensation may form on the charger if the
temperature changes suddenly om cold to hot.
In case of condensation, wait approximately one
hour before connecting the charger to the mains,
until it has warmed up to the temperature of the
room. Ideally, avoid such situations by storing the
charger in the place where it is operated.
Only charge the battery at ambient temperatures
of between 0°C and 45°C. However, you can maximise a battery's service life by charging it at an
ambient temperature of between 10°C and 30°C.
A battery that displays a fault may not be charged
anymore.

1.5 Motor
1.7 Transportation of the Pedelec
If children are present, keep a close eye on them,
especially if there is a possibility they could insert
objects into the motor through apertures in the
housing. This poses the danger of fatal electric
shock.
Bear in mind that the motor can heat up on long
ascents. Be carel not to touch it with your hands,
feet or legs. You could burn yourself.
Live parts may be exposed when you open covers
or remove parts. Connection points may also be
live. Maintenance or repairs on the motor when it
is open must only be carried out by a professional
bike workshop.
1.6 Adjustments/maintenance/repair
For the transportation of your Pedelec, we recommend removing the battery om the Pedelec and
packaging it separately. A suitable transport container can be obtained om your specialist cycle
shop.
1.7.1 The Pedelec and your car
If you transport your Pedelec on a bike rack, ensure that it
is designed for the higher weight of a Pedelec. In order to
relieve the load on the rack and protect the battery om
climatic conditions, it must be transported inside the car.
1.7.2 The Pedelec on trains
In Germany, you can take your Pedelec with you on trains
which are marked with the bike symbol. To do so on
German Intercity (IC) and EuroCity (EC) trains, you must
book a place for your bike in advance. As a rule, you may
not take bikes with you on German Intercity Express (ICE)
trains.
When carrying out adjustments and maintenance
or when cleaning, avoid crushing cables or damaging them with sharp edges.
Please have all installation and adjustment work
carried out by your specialist cycle shop. In case
you have to fasten something in place or change
something yourself, you will nd an exhaustive list
at the end of the “Original User Manual | General”
(CD) detailing the tightening torques which must
always be adhered to.
1.7.3 The Pedelec on aeroplanes
Your Pedelec is generally subject to the policies of the
respective airline concerning bikes. Batteries are subject
to dangerous goods legislation. Therefore, they must not
be carried on passenger planes – neither in the cargo
hold, nor the cabin. Please contact the relevant airline for
detailed information.

3.2 Fitting the pedals
It may be that the pedals for your Pedelec have yet to be
tted on delivery:
The right pedal (marked with an “R”) is screwed clockwise
into the right crank arm. The le pedal (marked with an
“L”) is screwed anticlockwise into the le crank arm. Both
pedals are screwed in tightly in the direction of the ont
wheel using a size15 open-ended spanner or a suitable
Allen key. The tightening torque is 40Nm.
If the pedals are not screwed in straight, the
thread in the crank arm may be severely damaged.
This could lead to serious accidents and injuries.
OPEN
Opening the quick-release lever
CLOSE
Closing the quick-release lever
As a rule of thumb, you can be condent that the
quick-release device clamp is suciently secure
if the quick-release lever can only be closed using the heel of the hand and a certain level of
force. During the closing process, you will feel
an increasing level of counterpressure om the
lever, beginning when the lever is at approx. 90°.
If the seatpost is not clamped rmly or securely
enough, tighten the clamping nut or turn the screw

5.3 Battery management
The battery management monitors the temperature of
your battery and warns you of incorrect use.
If an external short-circuit has been caused at the
contacts or the charging socket, please consult
your specialist cycle shop.
Please always supervise the battery charging process and disconnect the charger aerwards.
5.3.1 Sleep mode
The battery management switches the battery to sleep
mode to prevent a so-called total discharge. At the latest,
the battery management activates the sleep mode aer
ten days without use. The system exits sleep mode when
you connect the battery to the charger or press the battery
key or push button on the battery. This “wakes up” the
battery.
Down tube battery: If the battery does not wake
up, the cell voltage may be too low. In this case,
connect up the charger and press the battery key.
The battery is charged for one minute.
Seat tube battery: The battery can also be put into
sleep mode manually. To do so, press the push
button for eight seconds. Release the push button
as soon as the second LED lights up.
Batteries are wear parts. Wear parts come with a two-year
warranty.
If a fault occurs during this period, your specialist cycle
shop will replace the battery. Normal ageing and battery
wear do not constitute a fault.
The service life of the battery depends on dierent factors.
The most important wear-relevant factors are:
• The number of charging processes
Aer 1,100 charging cycles, your battery will still
have 60% of its initial capacity, providing it has
been well looked aer. This means 6.6 Ah in an 11
Ah battery and 7.2 Ah in a 15.5 Ah battery. A charging cycle is dened as the sum of the individual
charges until the charges reach the overall capacity
of the battery.
For example: You charge the battery with 5 Ah on
the rst day, 2 Ah on the second day and 4 Ah on
the third day; the sum is 11 Ah. The battery has
thereby completed one charge cycle.
According to the technical denition, the battery
is exhausted when less than 60% of the initial
capacity is available. Providing you can still cover
the journey distances with the remaining battery
capacity, you can of course continue using it. If the
capacity is no longer sucient, you can take your
battery to a specialist cycle shop who will dispose
of your battery and sell you a new one.
• The age of the battery
A battery also ages during storage.
This means: Even if you do not use your battery, its
capacity reduces. You can expect the battery to age
by approximately 3 to 5%.
Ensure that the battery does not become too
hot. The rate at which the battery ages increases
signicantly at temperatures above 40°C. Direct
sunlight can heat the battery considerably. Be sure
not to leave the battery in a hot car and always
stand your Pedelec in the shade during breaks in
cycle trips. If you cannot prevent exposure to heat,
please ensure that the battery is not charged during this period.
Original User Manual | Pedelec Impulse 2.0 15
A lly charged battery ages at an even greater rate
than a partially charged one at high temperatures.
• If you always ride with maximum motor output,
your motor will always require a stronger current. Stronger currents cause the battery to age
more quickly.
• You can also extend the service life of the bat-
tery by using the assistance selectively. Use a
low assist level when riding. With lower discharge currents, you conserve your battery.
5.7 Disposal
Batteries are not to be disposed of with domestic waste.
Consumers are legally bound to dispose of used or damaged batteries at the locations designated for the purpose
(battery collection point or specialist cycle shop). The
disposal of batteries is clearly regulated in each country's
laws.
6 Charger
Make sure that the battery is lly charged before
you ride your bike for the rst time or if you have
not used it for a while.
5.5 Storage
If you do not need your battery for a while, store it at a
temperature of 18 – 23°C at 50–70% of its ll charge
capacity. If you do not use the battery for six months, you
must recharge it.
5.6 Shipping
Do not ship batteries! A battery is a hazardous
article which can overheat and catch re in certain
conditions.
If used incorrectly, the device may be damaged or
inict injuries.
• Only use the charger in dry rooms.
• Only place the charger in a secure stable position
on a suitable surface.
• Do not cover the charger or place any objects on
it as otherwise it could overheat and catch re.
Do not use other chargers. Only charge the battery
using the charger provided, or a charger approved
by us for the purpose.
Read the type plates on the charger before using it
for the rst time.
You can charge your Pedelec Impulse 2.0 directly via a
charging socket in the battery. The battery can remain on
the Pedelec whilst the charging operation is in progress.
The preparation and shipping of a battery may only be
carried out by trained personnel.
If you would like to return your battery for replacement,
please always arrange this via your specialist cycle shop.
Specialist cycle shops can have the battery picked up
ee of charge and in compliance with dangerous goods
legislation.

8 The motor
ing with and without power assist may seem more
or less abrupt.
8.1 Operation
If you switch on the assistance and start pedalling, the
motor starts as soon as the rear wheel is turning.
The thrust delivered by the motor depends on three
factors:
• Your own pedalling eort.
The motor adapts to the force you apply. If you
pedal harder, e.g. uphill or when setting o, the
power sensor detects this and delivers more power
than if you were only pedalling gently. The assistance increases proportionally if you pedal harder.
The higher the assist level you have set, the more
distinct this assistance characteristic becomes.
• The level of assistance you have selected.
In the highest assist level (POWER), the motor
assists you with the highest output and therefore
also uses the most energy. With the SPORT
assist level, the motor produces slightly less
power. If you have selected ECO, you receive the
least amount of assistance but have the battery’s
maximum range at your disposal.
8.2 Range
The distance you can travel using the power assist with
the battery lly charged depends on several factors:
• Selected assist level
If you want to cover a large distance with power
assist, select the smaller gears, i.e. the ones that
are easier to pedal. Also select a low assist level
(ECO.
• Handling
If you are riding in gears that are harder to pedal
and select a high assist level, the motor will produce plenty of power to help you along. However,
just as with driving a car at high speed, this leads
to higher consumption. You will therefore have
to recharge the battery sooner. You can conserve
energy by keeping the load on the pedals even
throughout the entire crank revolution.
• Ambient temperature
If it is colder, you will travel a shorter distance
with the same battery charge. To maximise the distance you can travel, keep the battery in a heated

When you set o on your Pedelec, the assistance
increases as you build up speed until it reaches its

As the battery discharges when the motor is in use,
it generates enough heat to not lose too much of
its power at low ambient temperatures. The battery cells can discharge at temperatures of -15 to
+60°C.

• Technical condition of your Pedelec
Make sure the tyre pressure is correct. If you ride
your bike with too little air in the tyres, this can
signicantly increase the rolling resistance. This
applies to smooth surfaces in particular, e.g. tarmac. If the ground is uneven, as on a country path
or gravel track, a somewhat reduced tyre pressure
can lead to less rolling resistance. This also increases the risk of a puncture. Please consult your
specialist cycle shop about this. The range of your
Pedelec also decreases if the brakes are rubbing.
• Battery capacity
The current battery capacity ➠
“Checking the capacity”.
• Topography
You pedal harder when riding uphill. This is detected by the power sensor which then allows the
motor to work harder.
Under ideal conditions, the range may reach 130 km with
the 11 Ah battery, 180 km with the 15 Ah battery and
205 km with the 17 Ah battery. These ranges have been
achieved under the conditions listed below.
Chapter 5.2.2
8.3 Riding your Pedelec eciently
You can monitor and inuence the cost of your journeys
with the Pedelec yourself. You can reduce your consumption and therefore costs by following the tips for achieving
a long range.
The operating costs for power assist with an 11 Ah battery
are calculated as follows:
• A new battery costs roughly 599euros.
• Throughout the total service life of a battery, you
can cover roughly 80 kilometres with one charge
cycle.
• You can charge the battery roughly 1,100 times.
• 1,100 charging cycles x 80km = 88,000km.
• 599euros: 88,000km = 0.68euro cents / km
• You use roughly 0.565kWh to lly charge the bat-
tery. Assuming a unit price of 20euro cents / kWh, it
costs you 11.3euro cents to lly charge the battery.
• It costs you 0.14 euro cents to cover the average
range of 80km.
• This means the cost of consumption and the bat-
tery is a maximum of 0.82euro cents/km.

8.4 Warranty and service life
The Impulse centre motor is a durable maintenance-ee
drive. It is a wear part with a two-year warranty. As their
power outputs are higher, wear parts such as the drive
and brakes are subject to higher loads than they would be
on a normal bike. Due to the greater force acting on these
components, wear is more pronounced.

10 Cleaning
Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.
Do not use benzine, thinner, acetone or similar
agents in the cleaning procedures under any circumstances. Non-neutral cleaning agents can strip
the paint and cause discolouration, deformation,
scratches or defects. Likewise, the use of abrasive
cleaners and aggressive cleaning agents must also
be avoided.
Only use commercially available household cleaning agents and disinfectants (isopropyl alcohol) or
water. You can obtain suitable cleaning agents and
additional information om your specialist cycle
shop. We recommend you clean your Pedelec with
a damp cloth, a sponge or a brush.
The ingress of water can destroy the motor. Therefore,
ensure that neither uids nor moisture enter the motor at
any time during cleaning.
Do not clean the motor when it is warm, e.g. immediately
aer a trip. Wait until it has cooled down. Otherwise, the
motor may be damaged.
If the motor is removed, e.g. for cleaning purposes, it
must not be held or carried by the cables under any circumstances, as otherwise there is a risk that the cable will
break.
If the motor has been removed om the ame of the Pedelec, the plug om the motor and the socket of the cable
leading to the battery must be checked for possible contamination and, if necessary, cleaned carelly with a dry
cloth before reconnecting.
10.3 Display
The housing of the display may only be cleaned with a
damp (not wet) cloth.
10.1 Battery
Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the
battery. Although the electrical components are sealed,
it is not advisable to clean the bike by spraying it with a
hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This could damage your
bike. When wiping down the battery, be carel not to
touch and connect the contacts on the underside. This
could cause a short circuit and the battery to switch o. If
the battery connections are dirty, clean them with a clean,
dry cloth.
10.2 Motor
Dirt should be removed om the motor of your Pedelec
regularly, ideally using a dry brush or a damp (not wet)
cloth. Running water such as that om a hose pipe or even
a high-pressure cleaner must not be used for cleaning.
10.4 Control panel
The control panel can be cleaned with a damp cloth where
necessary.
10.5 Charger
Always remove the plug om the socket before
cleaning the charger. In this way, you avoid a
short-circuit and physical injury.
Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the
charger.
