General Safety Information
Intended Use
The intended use of all
models is
ASTM CONDITION 2,
General Purpose Riding.
What is an EBike?
Electric bikes, also known as “EBikes,” are
bicycles equipped with an electric
pedal-assist drive system. An EBike IS NOT
a moped or motorcycle. EBikes share
components common with pedal-only bikes.
What is a Drive System?
The drive-assist system consists of a drive
unit, a battery, a computer control, and
various electronic components (harness
wires, sensors, and switches). There are
many dierent drive-assist systems for
diering uses and bike types. Likewise there
are various drive-assist system
manufacturers (Shimano, BOSCH, Bafang,
Yamaha, etc.).
How does the Drive System work?
It is important to know that when the
drive-assist system is turned ON, the drive
unit engages to provide power only while you
are pedaling.
The amount of power provided by the drive
unit depends on your pedaling force and on
the assistance mode/level you set with the
handlebar control unit. At anytime, if you
stop pedaling, the drive-assist will dis-
engage.
In all modes/levels, the drive-assist system
power reduces progressively and cuts o as
the bike reaches the maximum allowable
speed. The drive-assist re-engages when
speed drops below the maximum allowable
speed as long as the pedals are turning.
Whenever the drive-assist system is turned
OFF, you can pedal the bike normally. The
drive system will not engage.
Understand your bike, its drive-assist
system, and the intended use of both.
Using your bike the wrong way is
dangerous.
Please read your Cannondale Bicycle
Owner’s Manual for more information
about Intended Use and Conditions 15.
Servicing
This supplement may include procedures
beyond the scope of general mechanical
aptitude.
Special tools, skills, and knowledge may
be required. Improper mechanical work
increases the risk of an accident. Any
bicycle accident has risk of serious injury,
paralysis, or death.
To minimize risk we strongly recommend
that owners always have mechanical
work done by an Authorized Cannondale
Dealer.

General Safety Information
Compliance/Regulation
Compliance/Regulation
YOU MUST OBEY ALL LOCAL LAWS & REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS - It is your
responsibility to identify and to follow all local laws and regulations necessary for legal
compliance. Compliance with local regulations is critical to the safety of the rider and of
others where the bike is used.
Here are some important specifications related to compliance with local laws:
VEHICLE CLASS - A definition (California, USA) of the dierent types of EBikes, EBike
labeling, and legal use areas, including any required additional equipment, registration, and
applicable rider age restrictions.
VEHICLE CATEGORY - A definition of the European Union of the dierent types of an EBike,
who may use them and where they may be used, necessary additional equipment such as
lighting and signaling devices, as well as any necessary insurance and licensing.
OBSERVE MINIMUM OPERATOR AGE - Follow any national, state, or local laws for any
minimum age restrictions for the operator of the EBike.
Ask your local Authorized Cannondale Dealer for more information about operating an
electrically-assisted pedal bicycle in your area.

General Safety Information
Operation
185533 Rev0 (03/23)
Operation
Always wear an approved bicycle helmet and all other protective gear (e.g., gloves, pads, and
cycling shoes).
Importance of practice & rider training - before you ride this bike, practice riding in a safe area
free from hazards. Take time to learn the bike’s controls and performance. Practice the
controls and to gain the experience necessary to avoid the many hazards you will encounter
while riding.
Do not ride “hands-o - Keep your hands on the handlebars when riding the bike. If you
remove your hands from the handlebar while riding, you can lose control of the bicycle and
crash.
Changing the assistance level while riding: Changing the drive-assistance level while riding
will increase or decrease the acceleration of the bike. You should anticipate this change in
speed and react appropriately depending on the riding conditions such as on slippery trails,
tight turns, or unstable or uneven surfaces. Set assistance level to “eco” (lowest assist) or to
“o” before descending technical trails (e.g., tight downhill switchbacks).
When not riding: Turn the drive system o to prevent unauthorized use.
Do not ride the e-bike without the battery. Make sure the battery is fully charged before
every ride to help ensure adequate battery power for necessary lighting and for the drive
system.
Do not remove any lighting or reflectors and do not ride if they do not work.
Do not allow children to operate or to come into contact with the e-bike or its parts.
Only turn the drive system on when you are seated ready to ride.
Accidental activation: Always disconnect the battery from the bike before working on the
bicycle. If you transport the bike by car or by airplane, obey local regulations regarding
transporting a bicycle with a drive system battery. Accidental activation of the bicycle drive
system can result in serious injury.

General Safety Information
Operation
continued from previous page...
Wired system control: If the drive system control device is detached from the mount or if the
cables are disconnected or damaged, the drive system will automatically shut o. If this
happens, you will have to stop the bike, turn the system o , re-attach the computer to the
base, and then turn the system back on to resume operation.
Wireless system control: In wireless control systems, the operation of the drive system is
controlled using radio frequencies without physical attachment. Therefore, ON/OFF
activation is determined by software programming. Please consult the manufacturer’s
instructions for information on preventing accidental activation or on restarting the drive
system in the event of a recovery from a drive system fault.
Your insurance policies - Your insurance policies (e.g., liability, property, and injury) may not
provide coverage for accidents involving the use of this bicycle. To determine if coverage is
provided, you should contact your insurance company or agent. Also, make sure your e-bike
is insured and registered according to the local laws.
Ride sensibly and safely around others - the application of power by means of the electric
motor assist means that riders can reach high speed. Riding faster increases the risks of
serious accidents.
Watch out for other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and animals where you ride. Always
operate under control and at a safe speed. Others may not be aware of you. It is your
responsibility to anticipate and to react to avoid accidents.
E-bikes are heavier than ordinary bikes - always park the bike in a suitable safe area away
from children, cars or animals that may come into contact with it. Park the bike so that it
cannot fall over and possibly result in injuries.
Do not ride into or attempt to ride through water or to submerge any part of the bike. If you
ride through water you can lose control of the bike or the drive-assist system can become
disabled or damage.
You can be severely injured, paralyzed, or killed in an accident if you ignore these warnings.

Batteries & Chargers
185533 Rev0 (03/23)
Batteries & Chargers
DANGER
Battery Damage Following: Flooding, Water-Intrusion, Submersion, Very Hard Impacts
If your electric bike lithium battery has been immersed or soaked by severe storm flooding, or water
leakage in your home, you should immediately put that battery outdoors. Choose a place that, should
the battery catch fire, the fire will not ignite a building, a vehicle or be any sort of safety risk. These
large format batteries, containing enough energy to propel a rider 20 MPH or more for many miles,
will release that energy as heat when they short circuit upon being immersed. Maybe not immediately,
but they are very dangerous and must be removed to a safe location and monitored. If immersed or
soaked, get them out of the house or building now!
REPLACEMENT - Only use the battery pack and charger indicated in the “Specifications” section
of this supplement. Do not use other batteries or chargers. Do not use the charger to charge other
batteries.
PREVENT DAMAGE - Do not drop the battery or charger. Do not open, disassemble, or modify the
battery or charger. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Keep the battery out of intense sunlight and away from heat. Excessive heat will damage the battery.
Keep battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal items to prevent
shorting exposed battery contacts. Shorting battery contacts can cause severe burns, fire, or an
explosion.
STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION - When the battery is not in use in the bicycle, its transportation is
subject to hazardous materials regulation. Special packaging and labeling requirements may exist.
Contact local authorities for specific requirements. Never transport a damaged battery. Insulate
battery contacts before packaging. Package the battery inside a shipping container to prevent
damage. The battery must be removed before flying and may be subject to special handling by the
air carrier.
CHARGING - Bring the battery and charger indoors and allow to reach room temperature before
charging. Make sure charger and A/C outlet are the same voltage.
Locate both charger and battery indoors in a clean, dry area with good ventilation to charge. Make
sure the area is free from combustibles to avoid fire from sparks or from over-heating. Keep charger
ventilation openings unobstructed. Do not cover the charger or the battery.
Disconnect the battery from the charger unit when fully charged. Do not leave a fully-charged
battery connected to the charger. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet when not in use.
Maintain the battery and the charger as directed by the manufacturer’s instructions.
DISPOSAL- Battery pack and charger contain regulated materials and must be disposed/discarded
in accordance with national and/or with local laws. Do not discard the battery/charger into fire, into
water, or into ordinary household waste/garbage. Instead, take to a waste facility/recycler.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL FIRES, EXPLOSIONS,
SEVERE BURNS, OR ELECTROCUTION.

General Safety Information
Side Stand
Commuting
EQUIPMENT  Any bicycle, including an
EBike must be properly equipped for
commuting including any legally-required
lights, signals, and registrations. Ask your
Authorized Cannondale Retailer if
commuting is within the scope of your
bike’s intended use and if your bike is
properly equipped for commuting.
DANGERS  Operating an E-bike as a
commuting vehicle is no less dangerous
than operating an ordinary pedal bike or
automobile. EBikes are certainly not
designed to protect you in a crash. Do not
assume the bike or its drive capability will
protect you or keep you from being
involved in a serious accident.
NIGHT RIDING- Riding at night on an
EBike or on a pedal-only bike is very
hazardous.
Read the topic “Riding at Night” in your
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual for
more information on the many hazards of
riding at night.
You must operate with a very high degree
of awareness and precaution to only
reduce the risk of death or serious injury.
No Modification
DO NOT MODIFY THIS BICYCLE/DRIVE
SYSTEM IN ANY WAY FOR ANY REASON.
Doing so can result in severe damage, in
faulty or in dangerous operating
conditions, or in violation of local laws.
Dealers and Owners MUST NOT change,
alter, or modify in any way the original
components of the bicycle or drive-assist
system (e.g., the specified sizing of the
gear ratios, i.e., the front chainrings and
rear cogs).
Attempts to “hot-rod” or to “improve” the
speed of the bike are dangerous to the
rider. Use only specified Cannondale and/
or manufacturer drive-assist service and
replacement parts.
Side Stand
Do not sit on the bicycle with the stand down.
Kickstand is not designed to support the
weight of a person.
Make sure kickstand is up before riding.
To prevent toppling over, park your bike on a
level surface; lower the stand.
