About these operating instructions
1.6 Frame number
Each frame has an individual frame number
stamped on it (see Figure 2). The frame number
can be used to associate the pedelec with the
owner. The frame number is the most important
identifier for verifying ownership.
1.7 Identifying the operating
instructions
The operating instructions identification number is
located in bottom left-hand corner of each page.
The identification number is composed of the
document number, the version number and the
release date.

About these operating instructions
1.8 Aim of the operating instructions
These operating instructions are not a substitute
for personal instruction by the specialist dealer
supplying the bike. These operating instructions
are an integral part of the pedelec. Therefore, if it
is re-sold at a later time, they must be handed
over to the subsequent owner.
These operating instructions are mainly designed
for riders and operators of the pedelec.
Paragraphs with a white background are intended
to enable non-professionals to make safe settings
on the pedelec, use it, clean it and identify and
eliminate any faults.
Sections intended for technical staff are
highlighted in blue and marked with a spanner
symbol.
These paragraphs aim to allow trained technical
staff (bicycle mechatronics engineers, bicycle
mechanics or similar) to carry out initial
assembly, adjustment, maintenance and repair
safely.
Technical staff also need to read all sections for
riders and operators to ensure they can provide
a better customer service.
All documents in Section 11 need to be filled out
whenever any work is performed on the vehicle
(assembly report, maintenance report).

Safety
2 Safety
2.1 Residual risks
2.1.1 Risk of fire and explosion
2.1.1.1 Rechargeable battery
The safety electronics may fail if the batteries are
damaged or faulty. The residual voltage can
cause a short circuit. The battery may self-ignite
and explode.
Only use and charge the battery and
accessories if they are in perfect condition.
Never open or repair the battery.
Batteries with external damage must be
removed from service immediately.
If a battery is dropped or struck, remove it from
service and keep it under observation for at
least 24 hours.
Faulty batteries are hazardous goods.
Dispose of faulty batteries in the correct
manner.
Store battery in a dry place until disposal.
Never store near flammable substances.
The battery is only protected from spray water.
Penetration by water can cause a short circuit.
The battery may self-ignite and explode.
Never immerse battery in water.
Put battery out of service if you suspect water
has penetrated it.
Temperatures over 60 °C can also cause liquid to
leak from the battery and the battery will become
damaged. The battery may self-ignite and
explode.
Protect the battery against heat.
Never store next to hot objects.
Never expose battery to continuous direct
sunlight.
Avoid wide temperature fluctuations.
Chargers with excessive voltage damage
batteries. This may cause a fire or an explosion.
Only use approved batteries to charge.
Metal objects may interconnect the battery's
electrical terminals. The battery may self-ignite
and explode.
Never insert paper clips, screws, coins, keys
and other small parts into the battery.
2.1.1.2 Overheated charger
The charger heats up when charging the battery.
If it is not allowed to cool down sufficiently, it can
cause a fire or burns to the hands.
Never use charger on a highly flammable
surface.
Never cover the charger during charging.
Never leave battery unattended during
charging.
2.1.1.3 Hot components
The brakes and the motor may become very hot
during operation. There is a risk of burns or fire in
case of contact.
Never touch the brakes or the motor
immediately after a ride.
Never place the pedelec on a flammable
surface, such as grass or wood, directly after
use.

MY22B01 - 22_1.0_27.08.2021 16
Safety
2.1.2 Electric shock
2.1.2.1 Damage
Damaged chargers, cables and plug connectors
increase the risk of electric shock.
Check the charger, cable and plug connector
before each use. Never use a damaged
charger.
2.1.2.2 Water penetration
If water penetrates into the charger, there is a risk
of electric shock.
Never charge the battery outdoors.
2.1.2.3 Condensation
Condensation may form in the charger and battery
when the temperature changes from cold to hot,
possibly causing a short circuit.
Wait until both the charger and battery have
warmed up to room temperature before
connecting them.
2.1.3 Risk of a crash
2.1.3.1 Incorrect quick release setting
Excessively high clamping force will damage the
quick release and cause it to lose its function.
Insufficient clamping force will result in
unfavourable transmission of force. This can
cause components to break. This will cause a
crash with injuries.
Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g.
hammer or pliers).
Only use the clamping lever with the specified
set clamping force.
2.1.3.2 Incorrect tightening torque
If a screw is fastened too tightly, it may break. If a
screw is not fastened enough, it may loosen. This
will cause a crash with injuries.
Always observe the indicated tightening torque
on the screw or in the operating instructions.
2.1.3.3 Incorrect component
The wheels are designed exclusively for use with
rim brakes or disc brakes. The wheel may break if
an incorrect brake is used. This will cause a crash
with injuries.
Never use the wheel with a different brake.
2.1.4 Risk of amputation
The brake disc in disc brakes is so sharp that it
can cause serious injuries to fingers if they are
inserted into the brake disc openings.
Always keep fingers well away from the
rotating brake discs.
2.1.5 Key breaking off
If you leave a key inserted when riding or
transporting the pedelec, it may break off or the
locking system may open accidentally.
Remove the key from the battery lock.

MY22B01 - 22_1.0_27.08.2021 17
Safety
2.2 Toxic substances
2.2.1 Brake fluid
Brake fluid may leak out after an accident or due
to material fatigue. Brake fluid can be fatal if
swallowed or inhaled.
Never dismantle the brake system.
Avoid contact with skin.
Do not inhale vapours.
2.2.2 Suspension oil
Suspension oil in the fork and the rear frame
damper is toxic to the touch, irritates respiratory
tracts and can cause cancer, sterility and changes
to the genetic make-up of germ cells.
Never dismantle the rear frame damper or the
suspension fork.
Avoid skin coming into contact with suspension
oil.
2.2.3 Lubrication oil
eightpins seat post lubrication oil is toxic if inhaled
and can be fatal if swallowed.
Never remove the eightpins seat post from the
frame.
Lubricate seat post in the open air or in a well-
ventilated room only.
Avoid skin coming into contact with lubrication
oil. Wear nitrile gloves when lubricating,
cleaning and servicing the vehicle.
2.2.4 Defective battery
Liquids and vapours may leak from damaged or
faulty batteries. Excessively high temperatures
may also cause liquids and vapours to leak from
the battery. Such liquids and vapours can irritate
the airways and cause burns.
Never dismantle the battery.
Avoid contact with skin.
Do not inhale vapours.
2.3 Requirements for riders
The rider must have the required mental capacity
and physical and motor skills to ride on public
roads. A minimum age of 14 years is
recommended.
2.4 Vulnerable groups
Keep batteries and the charger away from
children and people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capacities or lacking in
experience and knowledge.
If minors use the pedelec, a legal guardian must
should provide them with comprehensive
instructions.
2.5 Personal protective equipment
Wear a suitable helmet for your protection. The
helmet must have a reflective strip or a light in a
clearly visible colour.
Wear sturdy shoes.
Clothing should be retroreflective or as light as
possible. Fluorescent materials are also suitable.
High-visibility jackets and straps on your upper
body ensure even greater safety. Never wear a
skirt. Always wear trousers which reach down to
your ankles instead.
2.6 Safety guards
Three safety guards protect riders against heat or
moving parts:
• Chain or belt guards prevent clothing from being
pulled into the drive train
• Mudguards protect against dirt and water
splashing up from the road.
• Motor covers on the motor casing protect against
heat.
Never remove the guards.
Check the guards on a regular basis.
Take pedelec out of service if a guard is
damaged or missing. Contact specialist dealer.
