Dear Cu󰘵omers,
Thank you for purchasing a B’TWIN electrically-assi󰘵ed bike. It will introduce you to the joys of travelling
on 2 wheels for your leisure, it will be the mo󰘵 practical and economical way for you to get around in
town and will allow you to burn calories to keep 󰘰t.
We invite you to read this in󰘵ruction manual to get the mo󰘵 out of your B’TWIN electrically-assi󰘵ed
bike.
Never forget that an electrically-assi󰘵ed bike is not a moped. It needs your help to go further, fa󰘵er and
longer.
We sugge󰘵 that you learn how to use your electrically-assi󰘵ed bike in an open area in order to get used
to the feel of the motor kicking in and thus ensure optimum control of your bicycle.
Only use sport mode for your 󰘰r󰘵 kilometres if you are sure that you are able to control your bike.
Here are the 10 commandments to get the be󰘵 use of your B’TWIN electrically-assi󰘵ed bicycle.
Electrically assi󰘵ed bicycles are heavier than classic pushbikes. Without assi󰘵ance, pedalling can be
harder.
You mu󰘵 always make sure you are capable of riding the entire journey without assi󰘵ance, in case your
battery runs 󰘱at.
Important, this in󰄋ruction manual only applies to the electrical characteri󰄋ics of your bicycle.
You mu󰄋 refer to the B’TWIN user guide and warranty in󰄋ructions that are shared by all of our
bikes and which are provided with this document. They can also be found on our website at
www.btwin.com or reque󰄋ed at our DECATHLON 󰄋ores.

You need to pedal to go further
23,5 ─ 5 bar
In order to improve battery life and e󰘲ciency, pump the tyres to
between 3.5 and 5 bar
3< 3 bar
pfff
Under-in󰘱ated tyres are more prone to punctures

Overloading the bicycle will reduce the battery life
6
Battery life will drop when cycling uphill
< 3 months
7
The battery mu󰘵 be fully charged at lea󰘵 once every 3 months

It is advisable to reduce the power assi󰘵ance mode when the battery
charge is low

General operation of the electrical assi󰄋ance
The electrically-assi󰘵ed bike can be used with or without assi󰘵ance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Always lock the battery with the key when in use. The
electrical assi󰘵ance will only operate if you pedal. The assi󰘵ance will switch o󰘯 the moment either of the two brake levers is depressed or the speed reaches
more than 25 km/h. It will then re󰘵art automatically when below 23 km/h. In order to preserve battery life, the bike is equipped with a «power» limiter that li-
mits assi󰘵ance when the motor is under heavy 󰘵rain. During intensive use and in exceptional weather conditions, the assi󰘵ance may switch o󰘯 to safeguard
the entire sy󰘵em.

Before each use you mu󰘵 make sure that your brakes and electric sy󰘵em are working properly
The weight, power, manufacturing year and maximum speed are indicated on your bicycle’s frame. As the
weight of your bike with electric assi󰘵ance exceeds 15kg, we recommend that 2 persons transport it.
Always wear a helmet when riding your bike.
These electric bikes are designed for persons aged 14 and over.
Putting the battery into hibernation mode
The battery can be put into hibernation in case of prolonged 󰘵orage (maximum 1 year).

Maintenance
Warning - the maintenance of electrical components requires special skills and is not carried in 󰘵ores but in
Decathlon regional workshops and can take several days.
All cleaning and electrical or mechanical maintenance mu󰘵 be carried out with the power switched o󰘯 and the
battery removed from the bike! Maintenance operations speci󰘰c to the electric sy󰘵em mu󰘵 be performed by
trained, quali󰘰ed 󰘵a󰘯. If the chain comes o󰘯, turn the power o󰘯 before attempting any repairs.
NB: the weight of the bicycle may exceed that of your assembly 󰘵and or bicycle rack.
6 months
We advise you to bring your electrically-assi󰘵ed bike back to your DECATHLON 󰘵ore for its 6-month service.
You mu󰘵 refer to the B’twin user guide and warranty in󰘵ructions that are shared by all of our bikes and which
are provided with this document. They can also be found on our website www.btwin.com or by reque󰘵 from
our DECATHLON 󰘵ores.
Prohibited: cleaning using a high-pressure jet.
Not recommended: cleaning under running water.
Recommended: cleaning using a damp sponge.
Caution: in rain, fro󰘵, or snow, you may have less tyre traction.
The bicycle mu󰘵 be parked with its kick󰘵and on 󰘱at, 󰘵able ground or using a parking device.

15
The rims are subject to wear which mu󰘵 be checked to ensure they are intact.
The motorised wheel is also subject to higher 󰘵ress than a 󰘵andard bike wheel, and although it is reinforced,
it is possible that spokes may break. If a spoke breaks, contact your DECATHLON 󰘵ore.
If the bike or battery su󰘯ers a fall, check that your battery is intact. Caution: the watertightness of your battery
is no longer guaranteed following a fall.

FURTHER DETAILS REGARDING THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON B’twin BIKES, purchased as of 1 June 2013.
B’twin brand bikes are products designed to provide complete satisfaction to their users. For this reason,
B’twin wishes to commit to the quality and durability of its bikes.
Within this context, B’twin o󰘯ers its clients a lifetime warranty which exclusively covers the following noncarbon parts: frames, rigid forks (non-suspension
forks), handlebars and 󰘵ems 󰘰tted to B’twin brand bikes. This warranty begins on the date of purchase of (a) B’twin brand bike(s).
It is speci󰘰ed that, for the lifetime warranty to be valid, the buyer mu󰘵:
either have a DECATHLON 󰘵ore loyalty card and regi󰘵er his/her purchase on it at the time of checkout,
or complete the warranty certi󰘰cate available online on the www.btwin.com site within one month of the purchase date. During this regi󰘵ration, the buyer mu󰘵
provide the following information: la󰘵 name, 󰘰r󰘵 name, purchase date, e-mail address, and bicycle tracking number.
By virtue of this warranty, B’twin o󰘯ers either the replacement by an equivalent of the frame, rigid fork, handlebars or 󰘵em, or their repair, within a reasonable
time period, after being brought to a DECATHLON retail 󰘵ore repair shop. It is speci󰘰ed that travel and transportation co󰘵s remain the responsibility of the
cu󰘵omer.
However, this contractual obligation will not apply in the event of poor maintenance or misuse of B’twin bikes, as de󰘰ned in the user manual of the product in
que󰘵ion.
To bene󰘰t from the warranty covering one of the parts li󰘵ed above, you mu󰘵 simply visit the repair shop of a DECATHLON retail 󰘵ore, bringing either your
DECATHLON 󰘵ore loyalty card or your warranty certi󰘰cate with you.
B’twin reserves the right to verify that all conditions of the lifetime warranty have been met and to implement all due necessary measures to verify this.
It is also speci󰘰ed that the lifetime warranty does not exclude the application of the legal guarantee(s) provided for under the French Consumer Code (Code
de la consommation) and Civil Code (Code civil), namely:
Article L. 211-4 of the Consumer Code: «The seller mu󰘵 deliver goods in conformity with the contract and take responsibility for any lack of conformity pre-
sent at the time of delivery. The seller is also held liable for any lack of conformity caused by the packaging, the assembly in󰘵ructions or the in󰘵allation if he/
she was made responsible for the latter under the contract or if it was conducted under his/her responsibility».
Article L. 211-5 of the Consumer Code: «To be compliant with the contract, goods mu󰘵:
Be suitable for the use normally expected for similar goods and, if necessary:
match the description provided by the seller and possess the qualities that he/she presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or a model;
display the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of public 󰘵atements made by the seller, the producer, or his/her representative, notably in
advertising or labelling;
Or display the features de󰘰ned by a mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special use sought by the buyer, made known to, and
agreed upon by, the seller».
Article L. 211-12 of the Consumer Code: «Legal action prompted by lack of conformity lapses two years after the date of delivery of the goods.»
Article 1641 of the Civil Code: «The seller is bound to the warranty on account of hidden defects of the item sold which render it un󰘰t for the use for which it
was intended, or which so impair that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would only have paid a lesser price for it, had he/she been aware of
them.
Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code: «Legal action prompted by unacceptable defects mu󰘵 be brought by the buyer within a period of two years from
the date of discovery of the defect».
