User manual

Elops 940E

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.

10 be󰄋 practices for getting the mo󰄋 out of your electrically-assi󰄋ed bicycle.

You need to pedal to go further

23,5 ─ 6 bar

In order to improve battery life and e󰘲ciency, pump the tyres to

between 3.5 and 6 bar

3< 3 bar

pfff

Under-in󰘱ated tyres are more prone to punctures

20° 5°

cold weather reduces battery life

Overloading the bicycle will reduce the battery life

Battery life will drop when cycling uphill

< 3 months

The battery mu󰘵 be fully charged at lea󰘵 once every 3 months

Do not put your feet on either pedal of the bicycle when switching on

the power assi󰘵ance

the battery level indicator is more accurate when the bike is at a

complete 󰘵op

Remove the battery before conducting any maintenance work

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 limits 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.

- Backlighting

- Brightness of the screen

- Control button clicks

- Unit

- Language

- Font colour

* Under te󰄋 conditions as de󰄈ned in a te󰄋ing protocol, for a 75 kg user, with a tyre pressure of 4 bar and in compliance with the 10 be󰄋 practices

(see page 3).

Inserting and removing the battery

Insertion:

Before inserting the battery in its position, unlock it using the key and check that the rail is free of any objects or foreign bodies. Insert the battery from the

rear on the rail of the mounting bracket and slide it in place. Press it 󰘰rmly in place. Then turn the key in the opposite direction to lock it and remove the key.

Removal:

Before removing the battery from its position, switch o󰘯 the power and unlock it with the key. Then, remove the battery by pulling on it.

Important: Do not try to insert or remove your battery when it is locked as this is likely to break the battery’s security mechanism.

Battery charging

There are two ways of charging your battery

Battery charging on the bike

Fa󰘵ening the battery

Charging port

Charging socket

Battery charging by itself

LED charging indicator on the charger:

Orange LED when charging begins. Green LED when charging is 󰘰nished.

Fully charging the battery (charging from 0% to 100%) takes 3 hours.

If the LED on the charger is 󰘱ashing, contact Decathlon’s after-sales service as this indicates that there is a problem with the charger.

Maintenance and lifetime (warranty conditions)

Never 󰘵ore the battery discharged (1 󰘱ashing green LED) to avoid any deep discharge which could lead it to malfunc-

tion.

3 months

In cases of extended 󰘵orage, recharge the battery once every 3 months.

6 months

To guarantee an accurate indication of your battery 󰘵atus (when the 󰘵atus indication button is pressed), we advise you

to fully charge it every 6 months and then completely discharge it (this operation «calibrates» the battery 󰘵atus).
