WELCOME
Firstly, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you for having acquired
a BATEC, made by BATEC MOBILITY S.L.
All BATEC MOBILITY products follow EU Council Directive 93/42/EEC concerning
medical devices.
Every BATEC is assembled manually and individually, guaranteeing maximum quality.
The fact that the inventor, founder and current manager of BATEC MOBILITY, as well
as many of our employees, are BATEC users allows us to incorporate to our products
the experience gained over many years of use.
At BATEC MOBILITY we are committed to every new user benefiting from an optimum
use of their BATEC and thus achieving greater mobility and independence.
It is very important that you read this manual and the safety instructions carefully
before using your BATEC for the first time. This will allow you to understand how your
BATEC is manufactured and how you should use it to obtain maximum comfort and
safety.
On our part, we remain at your disposal for any query you may have or services you
may require.

1. SAFETY MEASURES AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
!
"#"#!$%&'(%!)*+,-!.')(!$/0%1!&'(!02%!&+(*0!0+3%!
•Before using your BATEC for this first time, please read this user
manual carefully.
•You must not exceed the maximum weight of 110 kg. This includes the
weight of the user plus any objects they are carrying.
•It is important that the first time you use your BATEC you start slowly,
so that you get a feel for it and become familiar with it. Each new
manoeuvre implies a potential risk. Please pay special attention to
turns and to speed.
•Choose a quiet place to use your BATEC for the first time.
•Have someone with you to help you get the feel of your BATEC. Each
new manoeuvre implies a potential risk of injury. Make sure you always
have someone with you until you gain sufficient skill and confidence
with your BATEC. It is important that anyone helping you reads the
user manual before getting started too.
•Using the BATEC safely requires training and experience.
•Please make sure you are familiar with local traffic regulations.
•Check local laws regarding attachable handbikes and wheelchairs, as
they may vary from place to place.
•Always give your BATEC a safety check before each use. This check
should include:
!Verifying that the fixed axles or removable axles of the rear wheels
of your wheel chair are intact.
!The velcro of the seat and back of your wheel chair.

!The pressure of the tyres of your wheel chair. If it is very low, there
is a greater risk of overturning and of wearing (the pressure
recommended for the wheel chair is indicated on the side of the
tire).
!The pressure of the BATEC tyre (recommended pressure: 3 bar).
!That the chassis of the BATEC is intact.
!That the chain is tense, in the case of the BATEC MANUAL.
!That all components, especially screws, are properly tightened.
!That the brakes are operating correctly.
!In the case of the BATEC ELECTRIC and the BATEC HIBRID, check
that the electrical connectors are in good condition and are properly
connected.
!In the case of the BATEC ELECTRIC and the BATEC HIBRID, that the
battery is connected.
!That the BATEC attaches and detaches properly from the wheel
chair.
!
"#4#!5)(+,-!)*%6!!
•The BATEC should be used to transport strictly one person at a time.
•The use of the BATEC is recommended only for those people who are in
an adequate physical and psychological state to move in traffic.
•Avoid unnecessary risks such as high speeds, quick turns and side
inclinations. Also avoid moving on objects that can cause you to brake
suddenly or that may cause you to overturn.
•The safest way of driving the BATEC is on level and obstacle free
ground. Use a ramp whenever possible. Always be as cautious as
possible when crossing roads.

•Always have reflectant signs on the BATEC and on the chair or clothes
in order to ensure you are visible for other drivers. When visibility gets
poor, always use lights.
•There is a risk of slipping on wet surfaces, ground with gravel and
uneven ground. Moderate your speed and behaviour. Do not use the
BATEC on mud or ice.
•Check that your feet are well positioned on the footrest of the chair and
that the tape is correctly adjusted.
•Always use your protection helmet.
•When you are moving with your BATEC, control your speed and adapt it
to the type of ground you are moving on. Keeping your BATEC at a
prudential speed will prevent unnecessary risks. Do not circulate with
the BATEC at a greater speed than you would with the wheelchair
alone.
•Maximum speeds allowed are:
o6 km/h in the street, on pavements and pedestrian areas.
o12 km/h on bike lanes.
o15 km/h on private grounds.
•When you need to turn, take into account that you must reduce your
speed before and be as cautious as possible. If you turn at an
inadequate speed you may lose control of your BATEC, running the risk
of overturning or collision. Lean your body towards the inside of the
curve in order to improve stability and reduce the risk of overturning.
•During driving and braking, hold the handles firmly with both hands.
Otherwise you could cause an accident due to an error in direction.
•It is not advisable to go up or down kerbs, as there is a risk of
overturning. When it is not possible to avoid a kerb, we advise that:
!wherever possible, you obtain the help of an assistant.

!you approach the kerb perpendicularly, so that the wheels of your
chair go up or down at the same time. Approaching a kerb in any
other way significantly increases the risk of overturning,
!avoid strong impacts when coming down from or going up onto a
kerb. A strong impact may have a negative impact on your BATEC
and your chair.
!the BATEC and your chair must go down gently from the kerb, with
all the wheels rolling.
!never try to go up or go down kerbs higher than 10 cm.
•When moving downhill or uphill, we recommend that:
!wherever possible, you use the help of aother person while moving
up or downhill.
!you keep a straight path
!in the case of a steep ascent, lean forward to load more weight on
the front wheel and improve traction.
!avoid unnecessary turns and never turn sharply, to avoid risk of
overturning,
!avoid stopping: it can cause you to lose control of the BATEC.
!when going down, keep a slow and controlled speed, braking
constantly while avoiding sudden brakes.
!do not use your wheelchair brakes. This can lead to them blocking
and you losing control.
•When covering long distances, we recommend that you keep a spare
battery with you.
•In the case of the BATEC MANUAL and the BATEC HIBRID, do not place
your hands in the area of the chainset. With all moveable parts there is
always a risk of getting your fingers caught.
•Please check that the tread of the tyres is deep enough.
•Get familiar with the braking distances at different speeds.
•Use only BATEC MOBILITY approved accessories.

•NEVER use your BATEC with a child on your knees. There is a high risk
of fingers getting caught in the chainset (in the case of the BATEC
MANUAL and the BATEC HIBRID) as well overturning, due to sharp
changes of direction (in all cases).
•The following manoeuvres are not allowed:
!Circulating up or down several steps or stairs
!Circulating at an angle on the pavement
!180º direction changes on steep slopes
!Sharp movements
!Abrupt braking on curved
!
"#7#!-%,%(/8!9(%1/)0+',*!
•Send your BATEC to a BATEC MOBILITY authorised distributor or
authorised technical service regularly for general servicing.
•Avoid contact and proximity to fire and flames, especially to lit
cigarettes.
•If the BATEC is subjected to a direct source of sunlight or to low
temperatures for a long period of time, the BATEC parts could overheat
(>41°C) or overcool (<0°).
•The BATEC is not recommended for use in the rain or on surfaces
covered with snow, or slippery or unsafe surfaces. In addition, avoid
circulating in dangerous areas.
•Use only our charger to charge the battery.
•If you do not use your BATEC for a long period of time, keep the battery
fully charged and charge it every 2 months to avoid it damaging due to
"deep discharge".
•Keep the BATEC away from the reach of children unless they are
supervised by an adult.

2. MODELS: CHARACTERISTICS AND PARTS
Information!
The BATECS shown and described in this manual may not be
exactly the same as your model. However, all the instructions
provided herein are applicable. The manufacturer hereby reserves
the right to modify, without prior notice, the weights,
measurements and other technical data described in this manual.
All figures, measurements and capacities shown here are
approximate and do not constitute specifications. The
manufacturer reserves the right to modify, without prior notice,
this manual. The updated manual shall always be available on the
website: http://batec-mobility.com/es/soporte
There are three BATEC models: BATEC ELECTRIC, BATEC MANUAL and BATEC
HIBRID. All the BATEC models have the same chassis and the same structure, only the
transmission system varying in each model:

•BATEC ELECTRIC: electric motor installed in the wheel.
•BATEC MANUAL: chainset with internal shifter in the wheel hub and
manual pedals.
•BATEC HIBRID: combined transmission with chainset with shifter and
manual pedals and electric motor in wheel.
In their standard configuration, the 3 BATEC models are designed for users with full
functionality in their hands. For users without full functionality of their hands, we
have a specially adapted control set, which we sell under the name 4QUADS. Currently
we only have the 4QUADS control set for the BATEC ELECTRIC. We shall soon be
launching versions for the BATEC MANUAL and the BATEC HIBRID.
Information!
NECESSARY SKILLS FOR USING A BATEC: BATECS are
recommended only for people who are in an adequate
physical and psychological condition to move in traffic. In
order to use the standard versions of the BATEC (BATEC
ELECTRIC, BATEC MANUAL, BATEC HIBRID) it is necessary to
have full functionality in hands and arms. To use versions
equipped with 4 QUADS controls it is necessary to have good
functionality in arms and partial functionality in hands,
sufficient to accelerate, brake and turn without risks. For this
reason, at BATEC MOBILITY we always offer the possibility of
trying out the product beforehand.
