BIKE ?
??
?
An e bike is a bicycle with an electric propulsion unit which provides assistance when cycling. The
motor is activated by pedalling, which is registered using a special sensor located in the bottom bracket.
This means that you must continue pedalling the e bike, the motor will only provide you with assistance.
You can also propel the bike using the control button or accelerator, but only up to the maximum
permitted speed, i.e., 6 km/h (i.e., for assistance when pushing the bike).
The maximum speed of the e bike with assistance from the motor is 25 km/h, within a tolerance of
10% (when this speed is achieved the motor is switched off and you continue pedalling as you would on
a normal bike). When the battery is discharged or if the motor is switched off, you can ride the e bike like
you would a normal bicycle, without any resistance.
From the aspect of the Road Traffic Act, an e bike is considered a standard bicycle, which mean that
you can ride it on public roads and cycle paths and do not require a driver’s licence. You are only
required to wear a helmet if you are under 18 years of age.

SAFETY WARNINGS
•Before using this product, carefully read the instructions for use of the e bike.
•These instructions notify the user of especially important instructions for safe and correct use. Failure
to adhere to these warnings may result in injury to you or another person, possibly to damage to your
property or the property of others.
•Always follow the instructions for use in order to avoid the risk of fire, injury by electric current or
general injury.
•Before riding the bicycle, make sure that there are no loose or damaged joints. Check the brakes
function and the tyre pressure.
•In the event that any part of the e bike is damaged, take it to a professional servicing facility for repair.
•Neither the manufacturer nor the seller is liable for accidental or subsequent damage or for damage
arising directly or indirectly as a result of incorrect use of this product.

BIKE SYSTEM
SYSTEMSYSTEM
SYSTEM
The e bike is equipped with a control unit with LCD panel which controls the electric propulsion unit.
You can choose from several levels of performance (assistance) intensity. Motor assistance is reduced
as speed increases and is disconnected when a speed of 25 km/h is reached. This corresponds to the
requirements of the relevant European standard so this product is still considered a bicycle and not an
electric scooter.
The e bike motor will come on after the pedals are turned by approx. ¼ of a rotation. Models equipped
with a BOSCH motor will start providing assistance when the pedals are turned by approx. 1/8 of a
rotation. The motor will disconnect 1 2 s after pedalling ceases.
The e bike also includes a “walking assistance” function. In this mode the bike travels at a speed of 6
km/h without the need to pedal, which makes it easier to push the bike. This function is not intended for
extended cycling.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE BATTERY
INFORMATION ABOUT THE BATTERYINFORMATION ABOUT THE BATTERY
INFORMATION ABOUT THE BATTERY
The Li ion battery has a very low self discharge rate. From the first charge cycle the battery must be
maintained constantly in its work cycle (discharge/charge) so that even if the e bike is not being used, in
the winter for instance, the battery must still be charged at least once every 4 weeks.
We recommend that you perform one full charge cycle (discharge/charge) before you begin to use the
bike. The battery can subsequently be charged at any time. Maximum battery capacity is achieved after
approx. 5 10 charge cycles.
Keep the battery charged and always recharge it after you ride the e bike, not before riding it.
Only use the charger supplied with the e bike to charge the battery.

: Sit on the bike and rest your feet on the pedals with one pedal in the position lowest to
the ground. If the saddle is at the correct height the leg with the foot on this pedal should be slightly bent
at the knee. Saddles that are too high cause excessive strain on the back and stretch the legs and hips
too much. A saddle that is too low strains the knees and thigh muscles. The rule is that if you have both
feet on the pedals, while the leg being measured is in front, there should be a vertical line passing
through the knee and the centre of the pedal.

After you ride the bicycle for the first time we recommend you check both the brakes, and the front

system
ystemystem
ystem:
::
: You have a gear changer on the handlebars, which is used to control the rear derailleur.
Do not try to change gears when you are not pedalling forwards. It is very important to release the
pressure on the pedals when changing gears, this allows the chain to change smoothly between the
individual gears and reduces the risk of bending the chain or damaging the chainset or sprocket wheels.
When cycling up or down an incline, change into the appropriate gear in time. Changing gear when
cycling up hill, when the chain is under strain, causes excessive stress on the entire gear shift system.

more effective.
Torso

Torso:
::
: Keep your torso relaxed and in a natural position. Leaning forwards at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees is especially effective as it allows the strong buttock muscles to work better.
Position in the saddle
Position in the saddlePosition in the saddle
Position in the saddle:
::
: Do not remain in the same position. Move back on the saddle to increase
power and keep the rear wheel on the ground when cycling down steep inclines. Lean against the
handlebars and sit on the tip of the saddle when cycling up steep inclines to keep the front wheel in
contact with the ground.
Braking
BrakingBraking
Braking:
::
: When braking while moving straight forward use both brakes, with more pressure on the front
brake lever. However, because there is a higher risk of falling over the handlebars when braking with the
front brake, you must learn to gradually apply pressure to both brakes with more pressure on the front
brake lever to avoid the risk of falling over the handlebars. Never use the front brake alone to avoid the
risk of falling over the handlebars.
You should apply pressure to the brake levers in such a manner that the wheels do not lock up. As soon
as a wheel locks the tyre loses adhesion with the road surface and this reduces the effect of the brakes.
Before you cycle on the road, try braking in an area with low traffic.
When braking in a bend, never use the front brake, or only very moderately! Apply pressure to the front
brake lever before the bend (possibly also to the rear brake lever if necessary), do not brake while
travelling around the bend if possible or only use the rear brake. Using the front brake in a bend or on an
unpaved surface reduces control over the direction of the bike and increases the risk of the front wheel
slipping and the cyclist falling.

EN - 9
Remember that the braking distance and the time needed to stop increases substantially in poor
conditions (rain, sub zero temperatures).
Always be prepared to brake if you are cycling down a steep incline and in areas with limited visibility.
Be careful of any bumps with sharp edges, ducts or drainage channels (risk of tyre defects or falling).

•After installing the child seat, always check that all the parts have been installed according to the
instructions and that all the connections have been tightened properly. Always use an approved child
seat.
•The handling of the e bike changes when transporting a child. Make a trial run with the child to try out
how the bike now behaves.
•With regard to the fact that the possibility of the child releasing itself from the protective system cannot
be avoided, the spokes and chain of the e bike should be covered if possible in the area where the
child seat is installed.
•The parts of the suspension seat post should also be covered so the child cannot catch its fingers in
the moving seat post mechanism.
•Never transport a child without a seatbelt and without attached foot rests.
•With regard to the fact that there is an increased risk of injury to the child in the case of an accident
(fall), you should never transport children in the child seat without a cycle helmet.
•Never leave the child alone in the child seat when you park the e bike.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

CHARGING THE BATTERY
CHARGING THE BATTERY of a BOSCH propulsion system – see Original instructions.
The li ion battery has a very low self discharge rate. The battery must be maintained in a working
cycle (charge/discharge) from the first time it is charged, so that even if the e bike is not being used, in
winter for example, the battery must be charged at least once every 4 weeks.
We recommend that you perform one full charging cycle (discharge/charge) when you begin to use
the bike. You can then charge the battery at any time.
The battery is fully charged if all the pilot lights on the scale showing the battery charge level are lit.
The scale on the handlebars controls only shows the approximate battery charge level. The indicator on
the battery shows a more accurate charge level. If only one pilot light is on/flashing, the battery requires
recharging.
If the battery charge is low, the motor stops running smoothly and may run with interruptions (in fits).
In this case you must switch the electric propulsion system off. Continue cycling without motor assistance
and ensure that the battery is recharged. You can continue using the electric propulsion system as soon
as you recharge the battery.
