General safety instructions
for bicycles
Warning:
• Thebicycle is designed to be ridden on normal roads
and not for terrain or competitive use. Any form of use
other than that described in this instruction manual
can lead to aserious risk for personal injury or material
damage.
• Never brake hard using thecoaster brake in slippery
conditions, e.g. on gravel, ice, snow or wet tarmac.
• It may become difficult to control thebicycle in wet or
windy weather conditions. Reduce your speed and
exercise greater caution, or use analternative form of
transport.
• Always brake using therear brakes first before
attempting to use thefront brakes. This especially
applies if road surfaces are slippery.
• For steep hills several braking methods should be
combined, otherwise using thecoaster brake may
cause therear wheel to overheat.
• As with all mechanical components, thebicycle
is subject to wear and high stress loads. Different
materials and components may react to wear or
stress fatigue in different ways. All components have
acertain lifespan and if thelife of acomponent has
been exceeded, it may suddenly fail causing possible
injury to theuser. Any forms of cracks, scratches or
changes of colouring in highly stressed areas indicate
that thelife of thecomponent has been reached and it
should be replaced.
• When brakes are applied, thebrake pads wear against
thewheel, which means that thewheel rims and brake
surfaces become worn over time. Therate of wear
and tear depends on several factors, e.g. theway in
which thebrakes are used, road conditions, how often
thebrake pads are replaced, and how often thebrake
pads and wheels are cleaned. Thesides of thewheel
rim can eventually become so thin that they collapse,
which can result in serious personal injury and material
damage. Check thewheels regularly, and replace
wheels that show signs of wear.
• Brakes and braking components can become very hot.
Do not touch them during, or shortly after, use.
• Anopen, unplugged end on thehandlebar could cause
injury in theevent of anaccident. Check that theends
of thehandlebars are covered by thehandgrips or with
handlebar plugs.
• There may be sharp points on theteeth of thecogs
and sprockets.
• Thepedals may have sharp edges and serrations.
• Moving parts can cause cutting and crushing injuries,
even resulting in thebreaking of bones.
• Clamps and other parts may cause crushing injuries.
• If you cycle in conditions with poor visibility (such as in
fog, twilight or at night), others many find it difficult to
see you, and therisk of anaccident increases. Always
use lights (front and rear) when cycling in poorly lit
conditions where visibility is low.
• You expose yourself to increased risk if you use thebicycle
in away that is not recommended, e.g. if you:
- Perform jumps with thebicycle.
- Cycle over tree roots and branches, stones, or
other similar objects.
- Cycle on challenging terrain.
- Cycle in anunusual manner.
• Anexcessive load can cause theframe or other parts
to break, thus increasing therisk of injury. Minimise
therisk of injury and damage by using thebicycle in
thecorrect manner.
Important:
• Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws, but do not overtighten.
Use atorque spanner to ensure thecorrect level of
torque (where such levels are stated).
• Adjust thebicycle so that it fits you and your body
type.
• Always conduct asafety check before using.
• Always use aproperly adjusted and fitted helmet.
• Always keep both hands on thehandlebars.
• Wear clothing that makes you visible to your fellow
road users.

English
• Thebicycle must be equipped with wheel reflectors
(both front and rear) and pedal reflectors. Make sure
that all reflectors are clean and visible.
• When riding in darkness, ensure that you have properly
functioning lights, both front and rear.
• Remember that rules and regulations for bicycles
will differ from country to country. This may include
regulations regarding front, rear and side reflectors,
along with front and rear lights. It is your responsibility
to familiarise yourself with therules and regulations that
apply in your country.
• Always ride in thesame direction as traffic flow.
Never ride against traffic.
• Always follow thelocal traffic regulations.
• Show consideration in traffic. Don’t ride close to
pedestrians, horse riders or thedisabled.
• Never use loose fitting clothing or similar apparel that
can get caught in thebicycle chain or wheels.
• Changes to thebicycle or its components can make it
unsafe to use. Each part and component of thebicycle
has been carefully chosen and tested. Thesafety
aspect of safety-critical components, accessories and
spare parts is not always obvious. Therefore, use only
original or compatible parts when making repairs or
when fitting accessories.
• Special tools and specialist knowledge make it easier
to assemble thebicycle and to make theinitial settings.
If you are at all unsure, this should be performed by
somebody with theappropriate competence.
• Incorrectly performed mechanical work can make
thebicycle unsafe to use. Something as simple as
tightening ascrew or bolt to theincorrect level of
torque may result in some part of thebicycle breaking,
causing you to lose control of thebicycle and have
anaccident.
• We recommend that all servicing, repairs and fitting
of accessories are performed by aperson with
therequisite competence and experience. Your safety
depends on thecorrect performance of maintenance.
• Any tampering or modification of theelectrical system,
frame, forks or other components can make thebicycle
dangerous to use.
• Acomponent that is not adapted for thebicycle, or
that has been incorrectly fitted, can subject thebicycle
to major stress with theresulting risk of personal injury
or material damage.
• Before you fit any accessories onto thebicycle, or
make changes to any part, it is your responsibility to
ensure that thechange you intend to make is both
compatible and safe.
• If you wish to use a child seat, make sure not to
exceed the max. weight allowed on the bike rack.
• Use a child seat that conforms to EN 14344.
• Adhere to the instructions that come with the child seat.
• Fitting achild seat will change thecentre of gravity of
thebicycle, which can make it difficult to manoeuvre.
• If a child seat is used, make sure that the maximum
total weight limit of the bicycle is not exceeded.
• If theposition of thesaddle has not been correctly
adjusted to suit you, or if thesaddle does not suit
your body type, you risk causing damage to your
nerves and blood vessels. Adjust theposition of
your saddle if you experience pain or discomfort.

Settings and adjustments
Warning:
Remember to take ashort test ride every time you change
any of thesettings.
Important:
• You should not attempt to change any settings
or make any adjustments that require specialist
knowledge or specialist tools.
• You will be able to change/make most of thesettings/
adjustments yourself, requiring only alimited range of
tools.
Suitable tools
• Hex (Allen) key 5, 6 and 3mm.
• Spanner (open-ended or ring) 15 and 19mm
• Pedal (or open-ended) spanner 15mm
• Torque wrench
• Screwdriver
• Tyre levers
• Bicycle pump
Tightening of screws and nuts
Important:
• It is important that screws and nuts are tightened
to thecorrect tension to prevent personal injury or
material damage.
• If ascrew or nut is to be tightened to aparticular
torque (Nm), this is specified in theinstructions.
Use atorque wrench in order to achieve thecorrect
tightening torque.
• If no torque is specified in theinstructions, thescrew
or nut must be tightened so that it is securely fixed. As
ageneral rule, thelarger thescrew/nut, themore force
should be used when tightening. Be careful, however,
to not overtighten.

Basic torque settings for
the electric motor
• In addition to thefour speed/assistance modes, it is also
possible to adjust thetorque of theelectric motor in nine
increments, from thelowest torque (1) to thehighest (9).
• Thehigher thetorque, themore efficiently thepower
is transferred from themotor, which means that
themotorised assistance feels stronger.
Important:
Ahigh level of torque can be particularly advantageous
when accelerating from low speed or when cycling uphill,
but it can be adisadvantage when cycling on slippery road
surfaces or if you prefer alower level of intervention from
themotorised assistance.

lowest point.
2. Sit on thesaddle and place your heel on thelowest-
placed pedal.
Saddle position
Thelongitudinal position of thesaddle is determined by
thelength of your legs.
1. Rotate thecrankset so that both pedals are at
thesame height.
2. Sit comfortably on thesaddle and place your foot on
thefront pedal. Thejoint of your toe should be directly
above thespindle of thepedal.
4. Press down [ ] for
>3 seconds to exit
thesettings menu.
3. Thesaddle is at thecorrect height when your leg is
almost straight.

4. Check that
themarking for
minimum insertion
of theseat post is
not visible above
theseat post
clamp.
5. Tighten thescrew.
3. Check that your kneecap is vertically aligned with
thepedal spindle/toe joint.
- If your kneecap is behind this vertical line,
you must move thesaddle forwards.
- If your kneecap is in front of this vertical line,
you must move thesaddle backwards.
Thepositioning of theangle of thesaddle is amatter of
personal preference and taste, but most find it best when
thetop edge of thesaddle is horizontal.

so that thefront wheel (U) leaves theground.
2. Turn thehandlebars from side to side with your other hand.
- If this movement feels heavy and you experience
obvious resistance, theheadset bearings (N1 and
N2) are either faulty or have been overtightened,
which must be corrected.
- If theside-to-side movement is easy and does not
involve any resistance, return thefront wheel to
theground and proceed to step 3.
3. Angle thesaddle
upwards or
downwards until
you achieve
thecorrect angle.

thewheel axle.
5. Set theyellow dot on thelocking ring against theleft-
hand yellow dot on thegear switch. Turn thelocking
ring clockwise as far as it will go.
Important:
Theposition of thegear switch on thewheel axle is
very precise, so theslightest movement between
theyellow markings will prevent thecorrect positioning
of thegear switch. It will normally be very easy for
thelocking ring to be put into place. If it is not, this
indicates that theposition of thegear switch needs to
be corrected.
6. Set theends of therear
fork against thewheel
axle, and ensure that
thewashers inside
thewheel nuts are on
theoutside of thedro-
pout slots in theends
of thefork.

or two tyre levers at
intervals of 10–15cm,
and continue until
theentire side of
thetyre comes away
from thewheel rim.
2. Squeeze both sides of
thetyre together where
it meets thewheel
rim, and continue
around theentire
circumference of
thewheel.
3. At thepoint opposite thevalve, insert atyre lever
beneath theedge of thetyre. Prise up theedge of
thetyre and fix thetyre lever to one of thespokes.
5. Remove thevalve from
thehole in therim and
remove theinner tube
from thetyre.
6. Remove thetyre from thewheel rim.
Retting the tyre and inner tube
1. Loop one side of thetyre back onto thewheel rim.
2. Partially inflate theinner tube just so that thetube
resumes its shape.
3. At thevalve hole in
thewheel rim, pull up
theside of thetyre and
insert thevalve into
thehole.
4. Push theinner
tube inside thetyre
around theentire

Removing the tyre and inner tube
Remove thewheel from theframe or front fork
(see Wheels in theSettings and adjustments section).
1. Unscrew thevalve cap and fully deflate theinner tube.
7. If you are removing thetyre and inner tube because of
apuncture, you should:
- inspect both thetyre and therim for damage.
Check for damage both visually and by running
your hand along theinside of thetyre and wheel
rim. Check therim tape.
- Remove any glass, sharp objects, etc. and replace
thetyre when necessary.
Important:
Take care not to pinch theinner tube between theedge
of thetyre and therim.
7. Inflate thetyre, and then let theair out again.
8. Squeeze both sides of thetyre together where it
meets thewheel rim, and continue around theentire
circumference of thewheel.
Note
Steps 7 and 8 are important in order to prevent
theinner tube from being pinched between therim and
theedge of thetyre.
9. Inflate thetyre to therecommended pressure, which is
stated on theside of thetyre. For thebicycle’s original
tyres, thepressure is 3.5–6.0bar (50–85PSI).

1. Loosen themounting
screw of thebrake
lever by turning it
afew times in ananti-
clockwise direction.
2. Move thelevers
inwards or outwards
along thehandlebars,
and/or move thelevers
to therequired angle.
3. When thebrake lever is in therequired position, tighten
thefixing screw.
4. Turn thesocket head screw (M/Q4):
- in aclockwise direction to reduce thedistance
between thebrake lever and thehandlebars.
- in ananti-clockwise direction to increase
thedistance to thehandlebars (thebicycle is
first delivered with this screw unscrewed to
themaximum amount, and with thegreatest
possible distance between thelever and
thehandlebars).
5. Check thedistance between thebrake pads and
therim, as well as thedistance between thebrake
lever and thehandlebars (see Brakes/Tension of
thebrake cable in theSettings and adjustments
section).
• Thebraking surface
of thebrake pads
must be parallel to
thewheel rim. There
should be adistance
of at least 1mm
between thetop
edge of thebrake
pad and thetyre,
and at least 1mm
between thebottom
edge of thebrake
pad and thebottom
edge of therim.
• If any of thebrake pads is not positioned as described,
this must be adjusted. For best results, adjust
thebrake pads in pairs.
1. Loosen thebrake pad set
screws (T/Y3) by turning
once or twice in ananti-
clockwise direction with
a5mm hex key. It will now
be possible to realign and
to move thebrake pads
upwards/downwards.
2. Lightly press thebrake pads
against thewheel rims by
squeezing thebrake lever.
3. Move thebrake pads into thecorrect position while
maintaining light pressure with thebrake lever.
4. Pull thebrake lever with full force and tighten thebrake
pad set screws.
5. Release thebrake lever and hold thebrake pads in
place, one by one, with your hand. Tighten thescrews
for thebrake pads.
Tension of the brake cable
Thedistance between
thebrake pads and
therim must be 1–2mm.
If thedistance is:
• greater than 2mm,

For minor adjustments, you can turn thebrake lever
adjustment screw (M/Q1) for cable tension.
1. Turn thelocking ring (M/Q3) against theadjustment screw.
- Turn theadjustment screw (together with
thelocking ring) outwards/anti-clockwise to
increase thecable tension. Thedistance between
thebrake pads and wheel rims becomes smaller.
Thebrake lever moves away from thehandlebars.
- Turn theadjustment screw inwards/clockwise to
decrease thecable tension. Thedistance between
thebrake pads and wheel rims becomes greater.
Thebrake lever moves closer to thehandlebars.
2. Finally, tighten thelocking ring against thebrake lever
in order to fix theposition of theadjustment screw.
2. If thebrake arms move
unevenly, or if thebrake
pads are at unequal
distances from therim,

to loosen thecable.
Thedistance between
theattachment point of
thecable to thebrake
arm and thelink on
theother brake arm must
be 50–65mm.
5. Tighten thescrew.
6. Finely-tune this adjustment as necessary, in
accordance with step1.
• Thetension of
thespring is adjusted
using ascrew next to
thebrake arm pivot
point (T/Y2).
1. Test thebrakes repeatedly while observing both
themovement of thebrake arms and thedistance
between thebrake pads and therims. Test whether it
requires much or little force to pull thebrake lever.
3. If adjusting thescrew in
accordance with step2
does not result in any
change, you should turn
theadjusting screw (in
aclockwise direction)
on thebrake arm that
moves theleast or whose
brake pad is closest to
therim. Test thebrakes
repeatedly while turning
thescrew in order to
see thedirect results of
theadjustment.
The brake arm spring tension
• Thebrake arms are spring-loaded, which means that
they are pressed outwards away from therim when
thebrake lever is not pulled.
• Thetension of thespring-loading must be thesame
for both brake arms in order to ensure that thebraking
force and thedistance between thebrake pads and
therims is equal on both sides.
• Thebraking system works most effectively when
theforce of thebrake arms’ spring-loading is as low as
possible while also being fully adequate for thebrake
arms to spring outwards, without obstruction, when
you release thebrake lever.
4. If thebrake arms move evenly but you think that
thebrake lever is stiff and hard to pull, try turning
theadjustment screws on both brake arms in ananti-
clockwise direction.
Note
• Adjust thescrews evenly on both sides until theresistance
of thebrake lever decreases.
• Make sure that you do not loosen thescrews so much
that they fall off. If you reduce thetension too much,
thebrake arms will not spring outwards. If this happens,
turn theadjustment screws in aclockwise direction.

2. Lightly bend out
therear part of
thesprocket protector
and pull it straight
backwards.
3. Free thefront part of thesprocket protector, pull it
forwards and remove it.
4. Prise up theconnection
between theouter
and inner guard –
begin with theupper
one from behind and
continue with thelower
one. Separate theouter
and inner guard at
thecrankset.
5. Lift away first theouter guard and then theinner guard.
6. Refit thechain
guard by
reversing this
process. Ensure
that all joins and
catches click into
place.
Chain tension
Important:
In order to function effectively, thechain must have
acertain tension/length. With use and wear, thechain
begins to stretch, so thetension of thechain must be
checked regularly.
1. Remove thechain guard (see Chain guard in
theSettings and adjustments section).
2. Place aruler on theground and lean it against
thecentre of thechain, between thefront sprocket and
thecrankset. Pull thechain upwards and measure how
much thechain moves vertically.
- If thedistance is greater than 12mm, thechain
tension must be increased.
- If thedistance is less than 6 mm, thechain tension
must be decreased.
3. Loosen thesocket
head screw (5 mm)
and thenut (10 mm)
which holds thebrake
stay in place on
theframe.
4. Loosen theright wheel
nut (15 mm).
• Thebicycle is fitted with afull-coverage chain guard,
which not only protects clothing from contact with
thechain but also protects thechain, cogs and
sprockets from dirt and moisture.
• Certain settings and repairs and servicing will require
theremoval of thechain guard.

9. Tighten theleft wheel nut.
10. Check thechain tension in accordance with step3.
11. If required, repeat steps2–10 until thechain has
thecorrect vertical alignment and thewheel sits
centred between thechainstays.
12. Tighten both wheel nuts securely.
13. Tighten thescrew and nut on thebrake stay.
Pedals
Attaching the pedals
Important:
• Theleft pedal is marked L on theend of thepedal
spindle. It has aleft-hand thread, which means that it is
tightened by screwing it in ananti-clockwise direction.
This can only be used on theleft-hand crank arm.
• Theright pedal is marked R on theend of thepedal
spindle. It has aright-hand thread, which means that it
is tightened by screwing it in aclockwise direction. This
can only be used on theright-hand crank arm.
1. Apply athin layer of bicycle grease to thethreads on
theend of thepedal spindle.
2. Screw thepedal to thecrank arm by hand.
3. Tighten thepedal using apedal (or open-ended)
spanner (15mm).
Removing the pedals
1. Unscrew thepedal from thecrank arm using apedal
(or open-ended) spanner (15mm).
Important:
• Theleft pedal is unscrewed in aclockwise direction,
whilst theright pedal is unscrewed in ananti-clockwise
direction.
• Wear protective gloves.
Check for any looseness in the pedals
1. Take firm hold of thepedal and jerk it in all directions.
See if it feels loose.
2. If there is any looseness, first check that thepedal is
tightly screwed into thecrank arm.
3. If it still feels loose, thelooseness will be in thepedal
spindle, so you should replace thepedal.
Gears
Adjusting the gears
1. Turn thegear shifter to
position 4.
2. Check theposition of thetwo yellow markings on
thegear switch on theright-hand side of therear wheel
hub. Theposition of theouter marking is fixed, whilst
theposition of theinner marking varies according to
thetension of thegear cables.
- If themarkings are
aligned with each
other, thegears
have been correctly
adjusted.
- If theinner marking is in front of theouter marking,
you must turn thegear shifter adjustment screw
in ananti-clockwise direction until theyellow
markings are aligned.
- If theinner marking is behind theouter marking,
you must turn thegear shifter adjustment screw in
aclockwise direction until theyellow markings are
aligned.
3. Twist thegear shifter back and forth several times,
alternating between thehighest and lowest gear
positions. Turn thegear shifter to position 4.
4. Check that themarkings are aligned – fine-tune using
thegear shifter adjustment screw.
