Transport. Inform ourself constantl about changed contents of the valid regulations.
•Alwa s explain to our child new contents of the current regulations.
•Onl let our child drive alone in public road traffic, if it is permitted b the legal regulations and if ou are
convinced that our child can participate in the traffic.
•Explain to our child which lane it is allowed to use with a BEN-E-BIKE. In man countries this is the
sidewalk for oung children.
•Teach our child to drive defensivel or cautiousl and to consider other road users.
•Teach our child to drive so that nobod is harmed, endangered or unnecessaril disabled or harassed.
Man regions offer courses for children. Here, our child can pla full learn driving and correct behaviour in
traffic.
Regulati ns f r lighting
To ride on the road, bic cles must be equipped with headlamps, taillights, cat e es on pedals and wheels, a white
front reflector and a red rear reflector. All these lighting components must meet the countr -specific
requirements and be marked with an appropriate test mark.
We explicitl point out that all BEN-E-BIKES ex works are n t equipped with the above-mentioned, required
components and ma not be used in public road traffic without prior retrofitting.

EN 1078 and comes with a CE mark.
ADVICE FOR OFFROAD USE
Has our child ever ridden a mountain bike? Off-road driving requires special concentration, fitness and exercise.
Your child should graduall familiarize himself with a BEN-E-BIKE in an inanimate place. In some regions special
technical courses for children are offered, in which off-road driving can be practiced.

NOTES ON THE LIGHTING
The motor controller of the BEN-E-BIKE is equipped ex-factor with a 6 volt output, which can be used to power an
optional lighting s stem. So It is therefore not mandator to use batter -powered headlamps or to install a
d namo. The 6Volt output is switched on / off b pressing the rocker (arrow up) on the OLED displa (see
"OPERATING THE OLED DISPLAY" in a later chapter of this manual).
A 2-pin connection cable with a length of 15cm is also included in the BEN-E-BIKE accessor pack. The "positive
pole" of the cable is the red cable.

PROCEDURE FOR SAFELY FASTENING THE FRONT WHEEL
•Open the quick release.
•Move the lever towards the final clamping position. At the beginning of the closing travel to about half of
the lever travel, ou hardl need an force to move the lever.
•During the second half of the closing travel, the closing force has to increase significantl . For the "last
centimetre", ou will need a lot of force to completel close the lever.
•The final position of the lever should be parallel to the wheel. The lever must rest against the fork so that it
cannot be opened unintentionall .
•Check the seat b tr ing to turn the closed lever.
•If the tension lever can be turned, the secure attachment of the front wheel is not ensured. You have to
open it again and increase the preload. To do this, turn the nut on the opposite side in a clockwise
direction.
•Repeat the above mentioned procedure and check the seat again. If the clamping lever can no longer be
turned, the tensioner clamps correctl .

•Pa attention while driving - if the carbon handlebar makes an crackling noises, this can be an indication
of an imminent material defect. Stop using the BEN-E-BIKE and contact our specialized dealer.
•For our child's safet - never have the carbon handlebar repaired!
•Immediatel replace a damaged component.
•Carbon components must never come into contact with high temperatures (> 100 ° C), such as those are
required for powder coating or similar. The heat could destro the component. Also avoid storage of the
BEN-E-BIKE near sources of heat.
•Never mount so-called "bar ends" on the carbon handlebar.
•Do not shorten the carbon handlebar.
•Alwa s pa attention to the correct torque of all screws of the stem or the brake handles (max 3 Nm). Too
high torques can damage the handlebar. In combination with carbon mounting paste, even ver low
clamping forces are sufficient for secure fastening.
