Introduction

You have decided in favour of a Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) - a bicycle that is
equipped with an electric motor to give you additional assistance when riding.
With this bicycle you can make better progress in headwinds, when
transporting heavy loads or on steep slopes.
You can select the level of power assistance required according to the weight of
your load and/or the prevailing road conditions, the effectiveness of the power
assistance depends on your pedal power and the level of assistance selected.
Before switching on the electric assistance system, please read the chapter
“Charging the battery”. The battery must be fully charged before you go for a
ride the first time.

Mode of operation and extent of electronic power assistance

As soon as you turn on the electric assistance system and begin pedalling or
twisting the throttle, electronic power assistance is available. Depending on the
selected assistance level the motor will add a certain amount of power to assist
you. The more you pedal on your own the less power the motor has to add,
which increases the all over range.
The pedal assistance does not measure your pedal effort, this means you can
relax when being exhausted and let the motor take over most of the work. Just
keep in mind that the battery will get sooner used up. An average rider can
easily reach on flat tracks up to 80km out of the standard 16Ah battery.

Levels of support

There are currently four support levels:
1 = 30%, 2 = 50%, 3 = 70%, 4 = 100%
With higher support the motor will reach also a higher speed.

What comes with the bike?

• 240V mains charger

• LED handlebar mounted front light, battery operated

• A set of 2 keys for the battery and 2 keys for the battery frame lock

We recommend to mark the keys to better identify them as
they look similar. Keep one pair safe in case you lose a key.
We can provide blank keys for replacements. If both keys get
lost the lock has to be replaced.

Basic Safety Tips

Always pull the brakes and hold the handlebar firm and
straight before taking off in order to make sure you keep
control of the bike when power assistance is in action! NOTE
that power assistance is triggered off IMMEDIATELY as soon
as the crank moves slightly in riding direction. Also, keep in
mind that the right hand half-throttle is active. By pulling one
of the brakes the motor will be disengaged.
