2 Battery
2.1 Precautions
Precautions with the charger:

For indoors use only.
Dispose of the charger properly .
Danger of electrocution. Do not dismantle the charger.
Precautions with the battery:
Do not burn the battery.
Do not expose the battery to temperatures over 50 °C.
Do not allow the battery to get wet. Do not submerge the battery in water.
Dispose of the battery properly.
Avoid letting the battery drain completely (full drain), or you may damage the
battery (rendering the warranty void)
To prolong the battery’s life, it is important to avoid storing the battery for long
periods when empty, and it must be charged every 3 months and stored in a
cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
2.2 Removing the battery from the bike
Use the folding handle to carefully pull the battery from its bracket.

2.3 Charging the battery
The electric bike comes with a Lithium-ion battery that powers the motor.
Unlike other batteries, Lithium-ion batteries do not have any memory effect and can be
charged even when not completely empty. The battery reaches its full capacity after
being charged and emptied several times. Before using the battery for the first time, it
must be charged for 7 hours.
First connect the charger to the battery. The socket for teh charger is found on
the right of the battery
Plug the charger into a power socket.
When charging, the charger’s LED will be lighted red to show that the battery is
charging.
The LED is lighted green when the battery is fully charged.
After charging, unplug the charger from the power supply first, and then
disconnect it from the battery.
If the LED does not light up in red, then the battery may be too hot.
Let it cool for a while before charging.
2.4 Information about the battery

Avoid letting the battery drain completely (full drain), or you may damage the
battery (rendering the warranty void)
To prolong the battery’s life, it is important to avoid storing the battery for long
periods when empty, and it must be charged every 3 months and stored in a
cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Never short circuit the battery by making contact between positive and negative.
The battery is sealed and therefore resistant to rain, so you can use your bike normally
in wet weather. However, try not to expose the battery to large volumes of water.
The bike has low impact on the environment, as electricity is a clean form of energy. At
the end of its lifetime, you battery should (like all other batteries), be recycled.
Your battery will be less effective in cold weather*.
In ideal conditions, the battery may be fully recharged around 800 times. Over time
and through use, the battery may gradually become less effective and will eventually
need to be replaced.
Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (> 50 °C), such as those from heating,
direct sunlight, and fire.
Do not dismantle the battery. Check with the vendor if you encounter any problems.
For prolonged storage, place the batter in a cool, dry, dark place.
Use only the charger provided.
*All specifications provided are valid at a temperature of 28 °C. In general, the
battery’s capacity falls by 1% for every 1°C fall in temperature.

3 Assisted pedalling
3.1 What is assisted pedalling?
This bike is fitted with electrically assisted pedals. The motor supports your own
physical effort. You absolutely must pedal to launch the assistance. If you do not pedal,
then the motor remains inactive. You may adjust the level of assistance by choosing
the desired level on the handlebar console.
3.2 All you need to know about assisted pedalling
When electrical assistance is activated, you start the bike differently to a normal bike.
It is easier to get going. Do not let this take you by surprise and get used to how it
feels before riding through heavy traffic. We advise you to use the assistance
programme to get going from a standstill.
When the electric assistance is deactivated, there is very little additional resistance.
This means that you can always use the bike as a normal bike, even without the
battery.
The assisted pedalling is legally limited to a speed of 25km/h, meaning that once you
reach 23km/h the assistance will gradually decrease before disappearing completely at
25km/h.
The bike’s range depends on the battery’s amperage as well as the conditions of use.
The values shown were measured in average conditions. The main factors susceptible
to influence these data are: teh weight of the cyclist, the bike’s speed, inclines, tyre
pressure, headwinds, the number of gear changes and frequency of braking (in town),
and the ambient temperature. When temperatures are very low, the bike’s range is
significantly reduced. Take this into account when using your bike.

4 Adjusting the seat
4.1 Desired seat height
When using the term “seat height”, we mean the distance between the seat and the
pedal in the bottom position. The seat is set at the correct height when the knee is
slightly bent when your foot is resting on the pedal in the bottom position (Fig.1). Feel
free to ask the sales assistant for advice!
4.2 Adjusting the seat
You can adjust the height of the seat by loosening the hex screw on the neck of the
seat using an Allen key (Fig.2).
Fig.1 Fig.2
You can also tilt the seat and adjust its position forwards and backwards. To do this,
loosen the seat using a T6 Allen key. As soon as you have found the desired position,
remember to tighten the screw.

5 Lights
5.1 Turning the lights on and off
B’ebike bikes are fitted with headlights connected directly to the battery. To turn
them on, use the control found on the handlebar console. Use the same control to
turn the lights off.
6 Brakes
6.1 Information about adjusting the brakes
The brakes must be set so that when you squeeze the brake to the half-way point
(Fig.1), the complete surface of the brake pads is in contact with the wheel
(Fig.2)à.
Fig.1 Fig.2
6.2 Adjusting the brakes
If you feel like your brakes are not tight enough, you can adjust them using the
cable tension adjustment screw. This is found next to the brake handle (Fig.3). By
tightening the cable inwards, you relax the cable, increasing the distance between
the brake pad and the wheel; and by loosening the cable outwards the moves teh
brake pad closer to the wheel.
6.3 Replacing your brake pads

The brake pads need to be replaced when the tread is worn down (Fig.4)
Fig.3 Fig.4
To replace the brake pads, you first must turn the cable adjustment screw inwards
to relax the brake cable. Now, use your thumb and index finger to squeeze the
brakes, and detach the brake cable (Fig5). You now have enough room to loosen
the brake pad attachment bolts (Fig.6).
Don’t forget to properly adjust the brakes once you have adjusted the pads.
You may always ask your vendor to perform this operation to be sure of a
perfectly safe replacement.
Fig.5 Fig.6
For the rear brake drum, no particular maintenance is necessary when changing
the pads.
7 Tyres

7.1 Tyre pressure
Tyre pressure affects the range and the comfort of your bike. We recommend that
your tyres always be properly inflated. You are advised to regularly check tyre
pressure.
Recommended pressure: 4.5 Bar front and rear
8 Maintenance
8.1 Servicing your bike
We advise you to take your bike to the vendor for regular inspections. The first
service should take place at 3 months, the second after one year, and then
annually. Regular inspections can avoid long-term damage as well as needless
expense.
Of course, and effort is also required on your part to keep your bike in top
condition for as long as possible. Here are some tips to do just that.
8.2 General maintenance
1 Inspect the tyre pressure and tread.
2 Inspect wear on brakes, perform full adjustments periodically.
3 Clean the pedal sensor with a sponge and warm water if it becomes dirty.
4 Oil the chain.
5 If you notice a problem with a spoke, immediately take the bike to the
vendor for repairs.
8.3 Cleaning
To clean your bike, use a brush to remove dirt and then wash with hot water. Your
bike will be perfectly clean. Regular cleaning makes your bike last longer. Be
careful not to use too much water around the battery. Take care not to let dirt
accumulate between the magnetic washer and the sensor (near the pedal’s axis on
the right side of the bike).
Never use a high pressure hose!
After cleaning, dry your bike using a soft cloth.
8.4 Lubrication
In addition to regular cleaning, it is best to lubricate the bikes gears at the same
time in order to prevent corrosion and make it easier to change gears. We advise
you to lubricate your chain using the grease available from the vendor.

8.5 Servicing your bike
Your bike is ready for its first service after three months.
Inspect the tyres and wheels. (Buckling, tension of spokes, tyre pressure and
condition)
Check all screws on the bike.
Brakes: Inspect wear on brake pads - Adjust cable tension -Check braking
effectiveness.
Inspect steering - Check fixture
Lubrication: Clean and grease the chain using an appropriate lubricant.
Electrical system: Charge the battery for 5 hours - clean the pedal sensor with a
sponge and warm water - Check that the electrics work properly.
Derailleur: Check that the gears change smoothly, and adjust if necessary.
Now perform annual maintenance.
8.6 Regular inspections
Check the following:
• Is the battery charged?
• Do the brakes work properly? Are the brake pads, bolts, and
screws tightened properly? Are the cables undamaged? Are the brake
surfaces clean? Are the brake pads worn?
• Is my bike properly adjusted? Are the seat and the handlebars
within the maximum authorised position? Is my handlebar aligned with
the front wheel?
• Is there still enough tension in the spokes? Are the wheels
buckled? Are any spokes broken? Are there any gaps in the wheels?
• Are my tyres properly inflated? Are they worn?
• Is the bracket properly tightened? Is the seat properly tightened?
• Do my lights work? Am I visible at night? Are the surfaces of the
reflectors clean? Are the reflective strips on my tyres in place, and if so,
are they clean?
• Does the assisted pedalling work properly?

• Do the gears work as they should?
• Does my bike need to be cleaned?
• Have I recently taken my bike to be serviced?
