theassistsystem.Weadvisetodriveo󰀨inastraightline,usingthelowestassistlevel.
• Do not allow yourself to be distracted by the console while riding, this increases the risk
of being involved in an accident.
• Whenyouswitcho󰀨theridingsupport,selectedlevel0(withthesystemswitchedon),
or when the battery is empty, the e-bike will ride like a regular, non-electric powered

• When the assist system is switched on and an assist level is selected, the riding
support is activated as soon as you step onto the pedals.
You should be seated on the e-bike and engage at least one brake before starting to
pedal.
