INFORMATION ON PEDAL-ASSIST SYSTEM
eB1M eB1L eB2L eB3M eB3L bicycles are equipped with a brushless electric motor, which is activated for assisted
pedalling, reducing in this way the effort from the user. The engine comes into operation immediately after you
start riding and interrupts its action as soon as you stop acting on the pedals. The maximum speed reached with
the help of assisted pedalling is 25 Km/h. Four levels of pedal assist are available, but none with complete engine
charge, i.e. pedalling must always be done to make the engine work.
The eB1M eB1L eB2L bicycles are equipped with an electric motor and an automatic 2-speed gear shift on the rear
wheel hub.
The eB3M eB3L bicycles are provided with a 5-speed gear shift on the rear hub selectable by the control on the right
side of the handlebar.
The second gear is automatically inserted after exceeding a speed of 18 Km/h, and switches off as soon as there
is a drop in speed, even when travelling at more than 18 km/h.
Autonomy with pedal-assist bicycle depends closely on the operating conditions, which can be: slope and / or type
of surface, temperature, average speed, engine assistance level, tire pressure, weight carried, user weight and
battery age.

• check brake levers correct operation and become familiar with the braking action,
• make sure handlebar moves easily to both sides,
• check tire pressure (see information on their shoulder),
• make sure that handlebar fold and stem are tight and at the correct height with relation to riders’ physical
features,
• check that the seat is at a suitable height from the ground according to your physical characteristics.
To carry out these controls correctly refer to the instructions in this manual.
