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 BATTERYCHARGING 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.

The brake lever should always be attached firmly to the handlebars. It should not touch the
handlebars when pressed. If this occurs, the brake cable must be tightened.
The brake
The brake The brake
The brake consists of two arms. Regularly check that the brake is correctly centred. If not, let a
professional carry out the adjustment. Every cyclist should be capable of a least basically adjusting the
brakes. Major repairs, such as tightening or replacing the cables, or replacing the brake pads, should be
entrusted to a servicing facility.
Correct brake functioning also depends on the condition of the wheels themselves. If there is play in
the wheels or if they are buckled and wobble to the sides or up and down when turned, they need to be
adjusted or trued. Truing the wheels is not easy – contact a professional. If the brake discs are buckled or
otherwise damaged, they must be replaced. The brake shoes (pads) will wear over time and must be
replaced. Excessive braking noise may be caused by inappropriate adjustment.

•In the case of rim brakes, check that the brake shoes and rims are clean and are not contaminated
with lubricant (oil) residues or other greasy products. Check that the entire surface of the brake shoes
fits tightly to and encloses the rims and that it does not touch the sides of the tyres.
•Check the brake shoes regularly, they should not be excessively or irregularly worn.

Disc brakes
Disc brakesDisc brakes
Disc brakes
Disc brakes are distinguished by their excellent braking performance and good resistance to poor
weather. They react much more powerfully than rim brakes when it is wet. They also do not require a lot
of maintenance and do not wear the rims like rim brakes. However, disc brakes have a tendency to be
noisy if they are wet or dirty.
The brake levers can be adjusted to the size of your hands, which leads to more effective control. In
most cases they are adjusted using a small socket screw in the lever.
In mechanical disc brakes, the range of movement of the brake lever increases as the brake pads
wear, which requires regular adjustment of the brakes. To adjust the range of movement of the lever use
a small screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw located in the lever adjustment case. Worn brake pads

EN - 14
can be compensated for on the brake lever to some degree. Loosen the connecting nut on the screw
through which the cable passes into the lever and then loosen the screw until the lever has the required
range. Then tighten the securing nut again.
Hydraulic disc brakes are equipped with a mechanism that automatically compensates for wear. To
adjust the range of movement of the lever use a small screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw located
in the case. Gas pockets can occur when braking continuously for extended periods. Release the brake
lever intermittently to avoid this. A gas pocket is a phenomenon that occurs when the fluid is heated,
when water or air bubbles in the brake system start to expand. This may cause the brake lever
resistance to fall suddenly.

: After disassembly of the wheel, we recommend you insert a
suitable spacing insert between the brake pads (C). If a wheel is not
fitted in the fork, do not press the brake lever. If the brake lever is
pressed without a spacing insert in place, the pistons extend more than
usual. If this occurs the brake disc (A) cannot be inserted back into the
calliper (B). Contact your seller to resolve this issue.
Check the wear of the brake pads (C) regularly. If the brakes produce
noise when braking, the brake pads may be worn to the usable limit.
Wait until the brakes are cool enough and then check the thickness of
all the brake pads. If it is less than 0.5 mm do not use the bike and
contact your seller.
If the brake disc is deformed or cracked, do not use the bike and contact
your seller.

GEARS
The gear system consists of derailleurs and gear levers, or a grip shift, cable lines and a chain. The
derailleurs include springs. Only change gear when the pedals are moving forwards. Never try to change
gear when not pedalling or when pedalling backwards. Never use force to try to change gear. Never lay
the bike down on its right side, this could damage the derailleurs.
If changing gear is difficult, slow or noisy, or if the chain falls off or rubs on various parts of the bike,
adjustment is necessary.
Easy and comfortable cycling
Easy and comfortable cyclingEasy and comfortable cycling
Easy and comfortable cycling
You will enjoy cycling and your performance when you learn to cycle so that the pedalling frequency
ranges between 70 / 90 rotations/min, which is the best performance/energy output rate. To ensure
optimum pedalling frequency you have various gear modes available, which will help you find the best
rhythm under various cycling conditions.

Please pay attention to the following points
Please pay attention to the following pointsPlease pay attention to the following points
Please pay attention to the following points:
::
:
•Do not stop pedalling when changing gear, but reduce the power used to pedal while you change
gear.
•After cycling in the rain, mud, etc., you should clean the moving parts of the gear system and lubricate
them.
•Do not change gear across the entire chainset or sprocket at once.
•Never change gear when pedalling backwards (reverse). This could cause the chain and derailleur to
lock.

:
•The right gear lever (or grip shift) changes the gears on the rear sprocket.
•The left gear lever (or grip shift) changes the gears on the chainset (if the bike has them).
•Various combinations of sprocket and chainset determine the choice of gear. As soon as you gain
more experience changing gear, you will recognise the gear most suitable for specific cycling
conditions.

The limit adjustment screws are usually identified as “H” (high) for “fast” gears and “L” (low) for “slow”
gears. “Fast” gears are gears when the chain rests on a large chainset and a small sprocket. If the
screws are not identified, their function must be verified by testing.
The aforementioned limits were adjusted before the bike was sold and should not change position
spontaneously during normal use.
Adjustment of gears

Adjustment of gears
Gears are adjusted by pre tensioning the cable in the lowest position of the derailleur. The derailleur
cable is prone to stretching, which reduces accuracy during gear changes. If necessary, the cable can be

The wheels are subject to significant stress, which is caused by the weight of the cyclist and any other
items you may be carrying, and the unevenness of the terrain over which the bike moves. This is why we
recommend that you inspect the wheels regularly, particularly to make sure that their crucial components
are not excessively worn and that the wheels turn smoothly. If you have any concerns you should contact
a specialised seller (servicing facility). After each accident check the wheel spokes to make sure that
there is no damage.

2. Tighten the regulating nut until you feel slight resistance.
3. Close the lever of the quick release mechanism so that the side
bearing the word CLOSE faces outwards and so that the lever is
parallel to the fork. You must use a certain amount of force to close
the quick release mechanism. When closing the mechanism you
will feel more resistance as the lever is pushed closed the last third
of the way, not before.
4. Check that the wheel is correctly fitted in the fork and centred (that
the rims and tyres of the wheel do not graze the brake shoes /

: In the case of brake discs, we recommend you insert a suitable spacing insert between the
brake pads after you remove the wheel. If there is no wheel in the fork, do not press the brake lever. If
the brake lever is pressed without a spacing insert being inserted, the pistons will extend more than
usual. If this occurs the wheel cannot be re assembled. See section BRAKES, page 12.

Reverse the procedure for removal:
1. Insert the wheel into the fork flanges.
2. Before tightening make sure that the rear and front wheels are properly centred in the fork.
3. Secure the wheel with the quick release mechanism.
4. Connect the brake cable and check the function of the brakes, particularly make sure that the
brakes do not graze the rim or the discs graze the brake shoes or pads. If necessary adjust
them slightly using the regulating screws.
Defects
DefectsDefects
Defects
In case of any defects, proceed in the following recommended manner:
1. Before you start removing the wheel, first of all check that the valve is not leaking. In order to
perform this inspection, pump the tyre up and apply saliva to the valve outlet. If bubbles appear
around the valve, this indicates that air is leaking from the valve, which means that the valve is
damaged or loose.
2. Remove the wheel, unscrew the protective cap, or the securing nut on the valve.
3. Press the tyre against the valve into the rim bed, then lift the tyre near the valve over the edge of
the rim and lift it along the entire circumference of the rim. If necessary, use tyre levers, never
use any tools with sharp edges to remove the tyre.
4. Remove the inner tube, pump it up, find out which part is damaged and repair it using an inner
tube repair kit (see instructions for use of the inner tube repair kit).
5. Before inserting the inner tube back into place, check the condition of the tyre and the rim bed
and try to find the defective area and remove any foreign bodies from it (stones, glass shards,
nails, etc.). Also straighten the rim band.
6. Insert the inner tube back into the rim and inflate it a little, otherwise there is a risk that it will be
pinched between the rim and the tyre and puncture. Carefully pull the valve through the
appropriate hole in the rim.
7. Place the tyre back into the rim bed along its entire perimeter. Start next to the valve and use
tyre levers if necessary (most tyres can be reinserted by hand). The valve must be
perpendicular to the rim, not diagonal.
8 Use your fingers to move the tyre from side to side, left to right, along the entire circumference
so that it perfectly fits and to minimise the risk of the inner tube being pinched between the tyre
and the rim.
9. Inflate the inner tube and check that the fitted tyre is centred.
10. Mount the wheel into the fork.

Tyre pressure
Tyre pressureTyre pressure
Tyre pressure
Tyre pressure is a very important parameter which allows the tyre to roll smoothly and ensures a long
service life. We recommend that you check the tyre pressure with a manometer when inflating the tyres.
Also pay attention to various types of valve (see the “Valve” paragraph).
The size of the tyre and the tyre pressure range are given on the side of the tyre. The maximum
permissible tyre pressure is usually specified in bar, kilopascal (kPa) or PSI. The optimum range or
minimum tyre pressure is sometimes prescribed on the tyre. See below for the conversion rate between
the different pressure units:
1 bar = 1 atmosphere = 100 kPa = 14.50377 PSI
1 PSI = 0.06894757 bar = 6.894757 kPa
1 kPa = 0.01 bar = 0.1450377 PSI

Schrader valves are the same type of valve used on car tyres. In order to
inflate the tyre, you have to remove the valve cap and push the pump onto
the end of the valve. If you need to release air, press the middle of the
valve with your finger or an item with a sharp point.

s, compared to Schrader valves these valves are smaller, are
more resistant to higher inflation pressure and have a more aesthetic
appearance. In order to inflate a tyre with this valve you need to remove
the valve cap and loosen the locking screw. Before inflation, press the end
of the valve briefly, which will release some air and empty the valve. Then
push the pump onto the end of the valve and inflate the inner tube. Don’t
forget to tighten the valve locking screw back in place.

The wheel rim is mechanically most highly stressed when cycling over uneven ground and when
braking. Friction as a result of braking causes wear of the rims. As soon as the wear on the rim reaches
certain limit values, the rim may start to deform under the pressure of the tyre. If in doubt contact your
retailer and ask them to check the thickness of the rim. Some modern rims are fitted with so called wear
indicators by means of which critical wear of the rim is visible.
