CAUTION
Using the electrically power assisted cycle
All users must have read and understood the instructions and information outlined in the manual.
If, during assembly, any factory defects are detected, certain steps are unclear or issues with assembly or adjustments occur,
do not ride the vehicle and contact your dealer or visit www.argentobike.it for technical support.
CAUTION
Risks associated with using the electrically power assisted cycle
Despite the application of safety devices, to ensure safe use of the electrically power assisted cycle, all the safety provisions
reported in this manual must be observed.
Always maintain concentration while riding and do not underestimate the residual risks connected with use of the electrically
power assisted cycle.
CAUTION
Responsibility
The rider is required to use the electrically power assisted cycle with utmost diligence and in full compliance with the road
regulations and all cycling rules in force in the country of use.
It is important to bear in mind that when out in a public space or on the road, even when the instructions in the manual are
observed to the letter, the rider is not immune to injury caused by infractions or inappropriate actions taken towards other
vehicles, obstacles or persons. Misuse of the item or non-compliance with the instructions provided in this manual may cause
severe injury.
Riders must also ensure that the electrically power assisted cycle is kept clean, in perfect working order and serviced. They
must diligently carry out the safety checks which are their responsibility, as well as preserve all the documentation about
product maintenance.
Riders must carefully assess any weather conditions which could make it potentially dangerous to use the electrically power
assisted cycle.
This product is a vehicle, therefore, the faster is it goes, the longer the braking distance required. We, therefore, recommend
moderating your speed and maintaining an adequate braking distance if you are riding in adverse weather conditions and/
or heavy trac.
The braking distance increases on wet, slippery, muddy or icy roads and the tyre grip decreases significantly with the risk of
the wheels skidding and loss of balance compared to dry roads.
It is, therefore, essential to ride the bike with greater care, maintain a suitable speed and safety distance from other vehicles
or pedestrians.
Take extra care when riding on unfamiliar roads.
For your safety, we recommend wearing suitable protective equipment (helmet, knee and elbow pads) to protect yourself
from any falls or injuries while riding the bike. When allowing others to use the bike, ensure that the rider wears the safety
equipment and explain how to operate the vehicle. To avoid injury, do not allow other persons to use the item if they do not
know how to use it.
Wear shoes before using the item.
The bike has been designed to allow the load of a maximum overall weight (rider and any load being carried) that does not
exceed the value indicated in the product data sheet.
Avoid using the product, under all circumstances, if the total load transported exceeds the recommended weight to avoid the
risk of damaging the integrity of the structural and electronic components of the bike.
The electrically power assisted cycle (EPAC), as specified in the provisions of the current reference standard EN 15194, is a
means of transport intended to transport one person only.
The transport of a passenger is only permitted within the framework of the regulations in force in the country where it is
ridden regarding: the minimum age of the rider, maximum age of the passenger transported, provision of legally approved
and authorised passenger transport devices.

05
It is the user’s responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the devices used for passenger transport in terms of construction
characteristics, safety systems, anchoring systems and their installation and assembly on the electrically power assisted cycle
based on its structure and within the permitted load limits (maximum load supported by the bike and by the luggage rack
supplied, if present).
The user is also responsible for the provision and installation of devices used for the transport of objects and animals (e.g.
luggage racks, luggage bags, storage baskets, etc.) in compliance with the legally approved and authorised provisions in the
country of use and the limitations of the structure within the permitted load limits (maximum load supported by the bike and
by the luggage rack supplied, if present).
CAUTION
The installation of accessories and equipment on the bike, not only aect the performance of the bike and how it is used, but
can also cause damage if they are unsuitable, thus compromising correct operation and safety conditions during use.
For information on the supply and installation of equipment deemed suitable for the bike, please contact your authorised
dealer or specialised operators.
Warnings for users
• The electrically power assisted cycle can only be used by adults and skilled teenagers.
• Do not take alcohol or drugs before riding the electrically power assisted cycle.
• This electrically power assisted cycle model is designed and built for outdoor use on public roads or cycle tracks.
• Do not attempt to make the electrically power assisted cycle exceed the performance levels for which it was designed;
do not ride on surfaces with a slope greater than 10%, on uneven and rough ground (bumpy road surfaces, with potholes,
depressions, obstacles).
• Never ride the electrically power assisted cycle with any of its parts disassembled.
• Avoid uneven surfaces and obstacles.
• Ride with both hands on the handlebars.
• Before use, replace any worn and/or damaged parts and check that the safety devices are working properly.
• Keep children away from plastic items (including packaging materials) and small parts that may result in suocation.
• Supervise children to make sure they do not play with the product.
• Remove any sharp edges caused by misuse, breakage or damage to the item.
• Pay particular attention when riding the bike near pedestrians and make sure you slow down and signal your presence to
avoid frightening them when arriving from behind.
• Assemble the item correctly.
CAUTION
How to use
The electrically power assisted cycle is a bicycle fitted with an auxiliary electric motor that is activated only when the pedals
are turned.
The motor does not, therefore, replace the work performed by your leg muscles, but assists them so they work less hard by
enabling the electrical and electronic components supplied with the product, i.e. the battery, handlebar controls, sensors and
control electronics (control unit).
More specifically, the electric motor is powered by a battery and operated by a unit that controls the delivery of power and
additional thrust provided to assist the eort made by the rider’s muscles when pedalling based on the real-time reading of
values detected by a series of pedal-assist sensors (PAS). These sensors are positioned on the outside of the frame or inside
the components and are based on the control parameters entered by the user via the handlebar controls (display).
In accordance with the provisions of European Directive 2002/24/EC, the electric motor supplied with the electrically power
assisted cycle, is only activated to assist the user when pedalling and will be disabled upon reaching a speed of 25 km/h.
The electrically power assisted cycle has been designed and manufactured to be ridden outdoors on public roads and cycling
paths, on both tarmacked surfaces and/or ground that is suitable for the specific technical and structural features of the bike.
Any changes to its construction may compromise the behaviour, safety and stability of the electrically power assisted cycle
and may cause an accident.

06
Any other types of use, or any extensions of use beyond the one intended, do not correspond to the intended use attributed
by the manufacturer and the latter, therefore, disclaims all liability for any resulting damage.
The autonomy of the battery supplied with the electrical power assisted cycle, and therefore the relative travel data in
estimated km, can vary significantly depending on the specific methods of use (total load transported, muscle contribution
provided by the rider, level of electrical assistance to the selected pedal, frequency of departures/restarts),
on the mechanical and electrical conditions of the product (tyre pressure and wear, battery eciency level) and external
influences (gradients and road surface, weather conditions).
Before each use, carefully check that the brakes are working correctly and are not worn; check the tyre pressure, the wear of
the wheels and battery charge status.
Regularly check that the tightness of the various elements secured by bolts. The nuts and all the other self-tightening parts
can become loose so, these components need to be periodically checked and tightened.
Like all mechanical components, the item is subject to wear and tear. Dierent materials and components may react to wear
or stress fatigue in a variety of ways. If the useful life of a component is exceeded, it could break unexpectedly and injure the
user. Any cracks, scratches or changes in colour in areas subject to high levels of stress indicate that the life of the component
has been reached and must be replaced.
CAUTION
Permitted speed
The maximum allowed legal speed is 25km/h.
The control unit has been configured to prevent any change to the maximum speed permitted.
Any changes to the control unit which have not been authorised by the manufacturer will exclude the latter from any liability
related to injury caused to persons and/or damage to property, and will invalidate the bike’s warranty terms and conditions.
DANGER
Risk of injury
Ride at a speed and behave in keeping with your ability; never use the electrically power assisted cycle over 25Km/h as this
could cause serious damage and injury to yourself or other people.
CAUTION
Place of use
• The electrically power assisted cycle can be used outdoors providing there are no adverse weather conditions (rain, hail,
snow, strong wind, etc.).
• Maximum permissible temperature: +40°C
• Minimum permissible temperature: +0°C
• Maximum permissible humidity: 80%
• The environment of use must present a flat, compact, smooth asphalted surface, without any holes or dips, free of obstacles
and oil stains.
• The place of use must also be well lit by either natural or artificial light in order to ensure that the route and controls of the
electrically power assisted cycle can be viewed correctly (recommended lighting 300 to 500 lux).
Improper use and contraindications
• The actions described below, which obviously cannot cover the entire range of potential possibilities of “poor use” of the
electrically power assisted cycle, are to be considered strictly prohibited.
DANGER
It is strictly prohibited to:
• Use the electrically power assisted cycle for uses other than the ones for which it has been manufactured.
• Ride the electrically power assisted cycle if the rider’s weight exceeds the permitted limit.

07

5. Assembly
Carefully remove the bike from the packaging* and remove the protective material taking care not to damage the relevant
aesthetic parts or force the cables and pre-assembled components.
*The bike must be removed from the packaging by two adults to ensure that it is not damaged and avoid the risk of injury and/
or crushing.
Handlebar installation
Rotate the fork until it is positioned in front of the frame.
Check that the handlebar attachment is positioned frontally and aligned with the frame while waiting for any subsequent
adjustment necessary following installation of the handlebar and insertion of the front wheel.
Remove the fastening screws of the front panel on the end of the handlebar attachment and insert the handlebar into the
appropriate housing in the central position; position the front panel of the previously removed handlebar attachment in its
original position and slightly tighten the fastening screws to adjust the correct positioning of the handlebar. Complete the
operation by tightening the screws.

12
Front mudguard installation
Remove the front light fixing screw located in the front part of the fork to allow the fender bracket to be inserted; secure the
fender together with the front light to the top of the fork using the previously removed screw.
Subsequently (also after installing the front wheel), secure the side supports of the front fender to the corresponding fork
stems by removing, and subsequently inserting, the screws on them (right and left side) taking care to screw them gradually
and alternately until tightened.
Front wheel installation
Insert the front wheel into the appropriate fork housings (forks) and tighten with the appropriate quick release device (fig. A).
Lever Pin Locking nut
Conical springs*
fig. A
*Conical springs: position the end of the conical springs (those with the smallest diameter) in the direction of the wheel.
Insert the pin equipped with the relative conical spring inside the hub, leaving the lever on the right side of the bicycle
(side without the brake disc); insert the second conical spring and the locking nut into the pin coming out of the hub on the
opposite side (side equipped with the brake disc), screwing it until flush against the dropout
Close the lever towards the fork to complete the tightening operation by verifying that the lever has adequate resistance
during the closing phase (such as to leave a mark on the palm of the hand used to tighten the lever, so-called "imprint on
palm") and, after closing, requires a considerable force to be exerted to allow relative opening.
The following image shows the complete installation of the mudguard and front wheel on the product.

13
Installing and positioning the seat post
Insert the seat post into the seat tube of the frame and, after positioning the saddle correctly, secure the seat post firmly using
the special clamping device (seat post clamp) on the frame.
DANGER
Minimum insertion seat post insertion limit
For structural and safety reasons, it is strictly forbidden, when using the bike, to extract the seat post from the seat tube of
the frame beyond the limit indicated on the latter to avoid the risk of causing any structural fractures to the bike and incurring
serious injuries.
The seat post is deemed to be correctly and safely positioned inside the seat tube of the frame by inserting it so that no
markings and/or graphic indication of the minimum insertion limit can be seen; see:
Correct position Incorrect position
Installing the pedals
Locate the right pedal (marked with the letter R) and left pedal (marked with the letter L).
Fit the right pedal (R) by inserting the threaded pin of the pedal into the corresponding crank arm on the right side of the bike
and screwing it clockwise (turn it towards the front wheel) until it is tightened using a 15mm wrench.
Fit the left pedal (L) by inserting the threaded pin of the pedal into the corresponding crank arm on the left side of the bike
and screwing it anticlockwise (turn it towards the front wheel) until it is tightened using a 15mm wrench.
CAUTION
Verify and regularly check that the various bolted elements, fastening screws, quick releases and pass-through pins are
correctly tightened, and perform an overall check to ensure that all the parts are in order.
The nuts and all the other self-tightening parts can become loose so, these components need to be periodically checked and
tightened.
The recommended tightening torques for fastening the specific parts/components on the bike (e.g. handlebars, handlebar
attachment and stem, saddle, saddle clamp, wheels, etc.) can be identified depending on the relevant elements. An average
torque of 20Nm can be used for all other fastenings.
Verification of the correct tightening of the parts/components through lever systems (quick release, handlebar attachment,
seatpost collar, etc.), in the absence of technically precise indications of the relative values, can be done by testing that the

14
relative part/component being fixed is not mobile and/or unstable if subjected to a vigorous attempt to remove and/or extract
(handlebar, seatpost channel, wheels, etc.) and by verifying that the tightening lever has adequate resistance during the
closing phase (such as to leave a mark on the palm of the hand used for lever tightening, so-called "imprint on palm") and,
after closing, requires a considerable force to be exerted to allow relative opening.
Rear light
The rear LED light is already installed on the end of the rear luggage rack.
Switching on and o can be done manually using the appropriate button on the light itself.
CAUTION
Rear wheel padlock
The pedal-assisted bicycle has an arch lock installed on the frame to allow the rear wheel to be locked, which can be
operated using the key supplied (set consisting of a pair of keys uniquely associated with the lock of the padlock).
The operation of the device requires that the key is removable from the lock only after operation of the locking bracket (fig. A)
excluding the possibility of removing the key from the lock in the open state (fig. B) to avoid the risk of loss of the same.
CAUTION
Battery key set
The electrically power assisted cycle is exclusively equipped with 2 keys uniquely associated with the key lock of the padlock
on the product frame to allow locking and/or unlocking for the battery extraction.
Identify the keys on the bike, located near the handlebar or attached to another component of the electrically power assisted
cycle (frame or battery), taking care that they do not get mislaid.

Removing the battery:
Insert the key supplied in the lock on the frame and,
after turning the key counterclockwise to the unlocking
position, proceed to remove the battery from its fixing
seat in the frame.
Inserting the battery:
Insert the battery into its seat integrated into the frame
of the bicycle until it locks.
Check that the battery is correctly installed and secured
by trying to pull it out and/or making sure that it is
securely fastened to the frame and does not move.
Battery charging
Before using the electrically power assisted cycle for the first time, the battery must be fully charged using the battery charger
supplied.
The average time to fully charge the battery, which varies according to the residual charge level of the battery, can be
estimated as shown in the sheet below.
We recommend charging the battery with the specific battery charger after each use of the electrically power assisted
cycle.
CAUTION
Only use the battery charger provided or an approved model with the same technical specifications, taking care to observe
the same methods and precautions of use indicated on the charged or in the manual.
EPAC Battery charger INPUT Battery charger OUTPUT Recharge life
Alpha AC 100V-240V 1.8A (Max) DC 42V 2.0A (Max) 4-6 h
Omega AC 100V-240V 1.8A (Max) DC 42V 2.0A (Max) 4-6 h
Make sure that the electrically power assisted cycle is switched o and the battery is switched o/disabled (if required by the
model of battery supplied with the bike).
Make sure that the battery charger, its jack and the charging port of the battery are dry.
Connect the battery charger jack to the battery charging port and then, the mains power socket (230V/50Hz).
There is a red indicator light when the battery is charging. When the indicator light turns green, it signals that the battery
charging cycle has been completed.
Disconnect the battery charger jack from the battery charging port and then, the mains power socket.

CAUTION
Using a battery charger that diers from the one supplied, which is not suitable or approved, to charge the e-bike battery may
damage it or involve other potential risks.
Never leave the e-bike unsupervised while it is charging.
Do not switch on or ride the e-bike during charging.
Keep out of the reach of children during charging. Do not place anything on top of the battery charger during use; do not
allow any liquid or metal to get inside the battery charger.
The battery charger heats up during the battery charging cycle.
Do not charge the battery immediately after use. Allow the battery to cool down before charging it.
The item should not be charging for extended periods. Overcharging reduces battery life and poses additional potential
hazards.
Do not allow the battery to completely discharge to avoid damaging it and causing it to lose eciency.
Damage caused by the battery being left uncharged for a long period is irreversible and is not covered by the limited
warranty. Once the damage has occurred, the battery cannot be recharged (the battery must not be dismantled by unqualified
personnel, as this could lead to electric shocks, short circuits or even major safety incidents).
Charge the battery at regular intervals (at least once every 3-4 weeks), even if the electrically power assisted cycle has not
been used for an extended period.
Charge the battery in a dry environment, away from flammable materials (e.g. materials that may burst into flame), preferably
at an indoor temperature of 15-25°C, but never below 0°C or above + 45°C.
Carry out regular visual inspection of the charger and charger cables. Do not use the battery charger if it is damaged.
Autonomy and battery duration
The autonomy of the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle and, therefore, the relevant distance data
estimated in km, may vary significantly depending on the specific mode of use (total load transported, how hard the rider
pedals the bike, level of electric pedal assistance detected, how often the rider departs and restarts), the mechanical and
electrical conditions of the product (tyre pressure and wear, battery eciency level) and external influences (slopes and road
surface, atmospheric conditions).
The capacity and performance of the battery will decrease over time due to the electrochemical deterioration of the battery
cells.
It is impossible to predict its duration with accuracy, since it depends above all on the type of use and stress to which it is
subjected.
To promote the longevity of the battery, it is advisable to store it in a dry environment and protected from direct exposure to
sunlight and preferably at an internal temperature of 15-25°C, but never below 0°C or above + 45°C, ideally recharge at room
temperature and avoid overcharging or its complete discharge during use and recharging the battery at regular intervals even
if you do not use the pedal-assisted bicycle for an extended period (at least once every 3/4 weeks).
Cold, in general, decreases battery performance. If used during the winter, the battery should be charged and stored at room
temperature and inserted in the electrically power assisted cycle only shortly before it is used.
