Welcome
PanTerra™ – Intelligent Electric!
Dear Costumer,
Thank you for choosing the CROSSWAVE Pedelec – a model with
PanTerra™ drive technology! PanTerra offers the technology for
an easy, alternative mobility. You will enjoy this modern and
eco-friendly mode of travel!
This CROSSWAVE electric bicycle is a so-called Pedelec1, i.e.,
the additional electrical drive assists you up to a speed of 25
km/h while you are pedalling. The technical design of CROSSWAVE
Pedelec complies with the European standard EN15194 for
electric motor-assisted wheels and the European bicycle standard
EN 14764. For driving this Pedelec on public roads in Switzerland,
you must be at least 16 years old or have a driving license of
the M category (motor cycles2). A Velovignette3will take care
of your liability obligation and insurance.
1The newly created term Pedelec consists of the words pedal, electric and cycle,
and denotes a special type of electric cycle that is different from the so-called e-bike,
because law stipulates that its additional drive must work simultaneously with the
paddle drive.

4) You can switch over to power saving mode by actuating
the ECO key at the right.
5) Start pedalling. The motor is activated after a half-rotation
of the pedals.
6) If you are riding the cycle for the first time, we request
you to try out the two drive modes well away from busy
roads.
7) There are two drive modes – Normal and Eco. The motor
output is limited in the Eco mode. This increases the
mileage.
8)
At the end of the ride, switch the system off by pressing “O”.
9) The CROSSWAVE Pedelec will take you home even on an
empty battery like an ordinary cycle. The battery electronics
prevents an excessive discharge of the battery.
10) Recharge the fully empty Lithium-ion battery after
completing the ride. If the Lithium-ion battery is only
partially empty, continue to use it for subsequent rides till
the battery is completely empty.
11) If you do not use the battery for more than 6 month,
recharge it fully.
Enjoy your drive on the CROSSWAVE Pedelec!
Quick start
Even though you might be eager to use your newly purchased
CROSSWAVE Pedelec immediately, we request you to observe

Info:
Ride very carefully in wet conditions. The braking distance
increases if the road is slippery. Under wet conditions, the
braking distance is two or three times as long. Adjust your
manner of driving to the changed conditions. Ride slower and
apply the brakes early.
Switch the lights on under unfavourable conditions of visibility
such as fog, rain, twilight and darkness.
If you leave the public roads, drive only on lanes and never on
open ground. Adjust your speed according to your riding abilities.
Wear tight fitting trousers or use trouser clamps. Wear a helmet
for your own safety. Bright, conspicuous clothing is better seen
under bad visibility conditions.
Do not ride with your hands off the handle bar –
risk of accident and fall.
Before the first start-up
Specifications
Brakes: A cycle must have at least two brakes that function
independently of each other.
Bell: A clear sounding bell is mandatory.
Lights: Both bulbs must function simultaneously. The centre
of the light beam of the front bulb should fall on the road at
a maximum of 10 m ahead of the cycle. The rear light must be
mounted at a height of minimum 25 cm above the road surface.
Reflectors: A white reflector with a large surface area at the
front that can be combined with the headlight. In the rear, at
least one red reflector should be installed. Optionally, the rear
light can be combined with a spot light. Two yellow pedal
reflectors per pedal – one towards the front and one to the
rear! A parking light or a battery light can be installed
additionally.
Special rules for sports cycles
The following special rules are applicable for racing and mountain
bikes: Headlights and taillights can be battery-operated. They
need not be mounted permanently on the cycle, but must be
used when the light conditions so demand. Nevertheless, sports
bicycles must have reflectors. The provisions are not applicable
to official tournaments, provided these take place on cordoned
off roads.
Warning Note: Carry out repairs, servicing or
adjustments on your bicycle only if you have the
requisite knowledge and tools! For your safety,
please assign all repair jobs on your bicycle to a
specialized workshop or to the Service Department
in case of doubt. Components that are bent or
damaged due to accidents or improper handling
must be replaced immediately to avoid the risk of
breakage – e.g., frame, fork, handle bar, handle
bar stem, seat support, pedals or crank arms.

Before the first start-up:
Your cycle was tested several times during manufacture and
subjected to a final control. Since during transportation of the
cycle the settings can change, please check the following without
fail before each ride:
Info:
– Proper mounting of the wheels and quick release levers.
– The minimum insertion depth of handle bar stem and seat
support and their mounting.
– Effectiveness and adjustment of the brakes.
– Adjustment and bolting of the spring components.
– Function of the gear and the lights.
– Safe seat of all screws, nuts and the pedals.
– The air pressure and the profile depth of the tyres.
Regular inspections
Check periodically, e.g., after 300–500 km or every 3–6 months,
depending on the intensity of use of the cycle to ensure that
all screws, nuts and the quick release are fixed properly. Check
or service for the first time after approximately 100 km. Checks
or servicing is thereafter necessary at regular intervals. The
indicated amount of kilometres gives only a rough orientation.
You have to take into account the use pattern and the number
of kilometres driven in rain. In addition to the jobs that you
undertake during the regular inspection, please
– Clean cycle and oil moveable components.
– Treat paint rub-offs and rusted areas.
– Apply protective coating on metal parts.
– Replace non-functional or damaged parts.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Caution! To be able to undertake
all the jobs on your cycle on your own, you will need
some experience, suitable tools and skills. While
tightening the screws, please pay attention to the
correct tightening torques. These are given on Page

Loading the Pedelec
– The permissible total load (rider and luggage) on the
CROSSWAVE Pedelec is 120kg.
– The permissible load of the luggage carrier is mentioned on
the luggage carrier.
– If your cycle is equipped with a front basket, the additional
load allowed here is 5kg.
Braking response
– Use the front wheel brake carefully on wet, sandy and slippery
roads, wet asphalt and ice, to keep the front wheel from
skidding and to retain the Pedelec under control!
– The brakes must be used with care. Blocked wheels have
a reduced braking effect and can lead to loss of balance
and fall!
– As a matter of principle, do not apply the brakes in curves
but before them; braking increases the risk of skidding!
– The braking lever mounted on the handle bar must always be
tight. Check regularly to ensure that they are not loose,
and tighten if necessary.
– Work on the brake system should be entrusted exclusively
to the dealer!
Proper use of the Pedelec:
Your Pedelec has been designed and equipped like a bicycle for
the use on public roads and paved lanes. Please bear this in
mind when using the Pedelec under off-road conditions and in

deformation of the rim horns when increasing the air pressure
indicates heavy wear and tear. Rims with wear indicators enable
the rider to detect the wear condition of the rim easily.
3) Brake pads
The brake pads for rim brakes, drum brakes and disk brakes are
subject to use related wear and tear. This depends on the use
of the cycle. Riding the cycle in rough or hilly terrain or using
it for sports activities can necessitate the replacement of the
brake pads at shorter intervals. Check the wear condition of the
covers and let your service partner replace them.
4) Chains and drive belts
The cycle chain is subject of use related wear and tear. The
extent of the wear depends on the servicing and maintenance
and the type of use of the cycle (mileage, riding in rain, dirt
and pollution, salt etc.). Regular cleaning and oiling can increase
the life, but replacement is necessary on reaching the wear limit
(approximately 2000–3000 km).
5) Sprockets, pinions, inner bearings and transmission rollers
In cycles with derailleur, the pinion, sprockets, inner bearings
and transmission rollers are subject to use related wear and
tear. Regular cleaning and lubrication can increase their life,
but replacement is necessary on reaching the wear limit. The
extent of wear depends on maintenance, servicing, the type of
use of the cycle (mileage, riding in the rain, dirt and pollution,
salt etc.).
Parts subjected to regular wear and tear
Please note: List of parts subjected to regular wear and tear
1) Tyres
2) Rim in connection with rim brake
3) Brake jackets
4) Chain and drive belt
5) Sprockets, pinions, inner bearings and transmission rollers
6) Bulbs and lighting system
7) Handle bar tapes / handle covers
8) Hydraulic oils and lubricants
9) Gear and brake jackets
10) Paint
1) Tyres
The cycle tyres are subject to use related wear and tear. The
extend depends on the use of the cycle and can be influenced
to a great deal by the rider. Sharp braking that leads to the
blocking of the tyre reduces the life of the tyre significantly.
Moreover, the air pressure should be checked regularly and if
necessary, increased to the value specified by the tyre
manufacturer. Excessive exposure to the sun, petrol, oils etc.
can damage the tyres.
2) Rims in connection with rim brakes
Not only the brake pad but also the rim is subjected to use
related wear on account of the interaction between the rim
brake and the rim. Hence, the rim should be checked at regular
intervals for wear and tear. The occurrence of fine cracks or

6) Bulbs of the lighting system
Light bulbs and other lamps are subject to use related wear.
Hence, replacement may be necessary. The user must always
carry spare light bulbs to enable timely replacement.
7) Handle bar tapes and handle covers
Handle bar tapes and handle covers are subject to use related
wear. Replacement may be necessary regularly for this reason.
Ensure that the handles are connected tightly to the handle
bar.
8) Hydraulic oils and lubricants
Hydraulic oils lose their efficacy in the course of time. All
lubrication points should be cleaned regularly and re-lubricated.
Non replaced lubricants increase the wear in the attached parts
and bearings.
9) Cable and brake housing
All Bowden housings must be serviced regularly and replaced
if necessary. This can be the case especially if the cycle is placed
in the open frequently and is exposed to weather influences.
10) Paintwork
Paintwork requires regular maintenance. Check all painted
surfaces regularly for damages and rectify them immediately.
This will also preserve the good look of your cycle.
Start-up of the CROSSWAVE Pedelec
The following chapters of the user manual of the CROSSWAVE
Pedelec presume that all basic ergonomic settings and necessary
safety checks of your bike have already been done:
– Handle bar and seat have been brought to the desired position
and tightened appropriately.
– The wheels have sufficient tyre pressure and their axle nuts
have been tightened too.
– The function of the brakes and pedal drive has been checked.
– The lighting system is functioning.
For more information refer to the Chapter
“Adjustments before ride”.
Start-up of the drive battery:
Now take the drive battery out of the holder in the luggage
carrier of the CROSSWAVE Pedelec. Remove any protective foils
– especially the ones on the electrical contacts located at the
lower end.
Now check the charging state of the battery
by pressing the key on the LED-charging status
display. If less than two LEDs or no LED lights
up, the battery may be damaged. In this case
please contact your dealer.

The compartment containing the battery fuse is located on the
side (cover with the imprint “Fuse”). If you do not want to use
your battery anymore, please pull this fuse out. The protective
electronic circuit of the battery will otherwise continue to draw
a small amount of power, quite unnecessarily.
Insert the drive battery in the CROSSWAVE Pedelec as illustrated
in Figures 3 and 4 into the tray. Ensure that the contact pins
of the motor electronics which is permanently fixed in the tray,
slide smoothly into the contact strip of the drive battery.
Check the charging status of the battery. To do this, press the
knob at the LED display on the top side of the battery. Refer to
Figure 2
If all the 5 LEDs do not light up, PanTerra™ recommends that
you first charge the battery fully.
To do this, connect the drive battery to the charging device
included in the scope of delivery. Refer to the Chapter “Charging
the drive battery” on Page 15.
Lithium-ion batteries get self-discharged much
slower than Nickel batteries and can therefore be
stored for approximately 6 months without
recharging. However, if the battery is not recharged
after this period, the chemical structure can be
damaged, which affects the performance of the
battery considerably and can make it unusable.
Figure 2
Figure 3 Figure 4
The drive battery should be kept flat in the tray as shown in
Figure 4.
Let the cylinder snap into place in the battery housing. The
locking ensures that the battery is held tightly to avoid damages
caused by jerks and vibrations. It also guarantees optimum
electrical contact of the battery with the electronic circuit in
the Pedelec.

The CROSSWAVE Pedelec is now ready for a ride!
Charging the drive battery:
The CROSSWAVE Pedelec runs on a 25V 11Ah Lithium-ion battery.
PanTerra™ uses high class branded cells that are combined into
a 25V cell pack. Besides, the battery contains a safety electronic
circuit that prevents excessive discharging and overcharging.
Avoid storing a fully discharged battery for weeks. Always use
only the high class Lithium-ion charging device included in the
delivery scope or the corresponding original PanTerra™ spare
part to charge your drive battery. The original charging device
works with CC-CV technology.
The battery safety electronic circuit guarantees that the battery
is not damaged on account of wrong charging currents or
overcharging at any time.
The charging device is intended for inside use only and it should
not be exposed to dust or water. Read the attached Operating
Instructions of the charging device before using it for the first
time.
The key can be taken out in the opened and locked
position! PanTerra™ recommends that you remove
the keys at all times! This will ensure that the lock
cannot be opened inadvertently (and the battery
falls out) and also that the key does not get lost.
Figure 5
Figure 6
Take the charging device out of the box, unwind the cable
bundle and plug it into the two-pin charging socket located on
the bottom side of the drive battery (Figure 5). It is protected
against spray water by a rubber cap. The battery can also be
charged on the cycle.
Connect the charging device to the mains socket with the help
of the power cable included in the delivery scope. The charging
operation starts. The LED switches to green after a few minutes
if the battery pack is already in an almost fully charged condition,
i.e., charging is completed.
4CC-CV = Constant Current – Constant Voltage: Controlled current strength is first used
to charge quickly and the battery voltage increases. On approaching the maximum
capacity, the current strength is reduced and the remaining capacity is filled only
with exact maximum specified voltage.

Long-term trickle charging:
Lithium-ion batteries do not receive any long-time trickle
charging. Their self discharge is too low and the associated
charging devices therefore are not designed for it.
It is therefore not recommended to connect the battery to the
charging device continuously over a prolonged period of absence
especially in winter. The safety electronic circuit in the battery
will prevent any damage, but the charging device would be
working all the time.
Full charging can take up to 6.5 hours. (CC-CV charging specifies
that although approximately 95% of the charging is completed
in (11Ah/2A=) 5.5h, more than one hour is still required for
filling the remaining capacity in the slow CV mode.)
Danger of short circuit! Ensure that no metallic
objects come close to the battery contacts and
the charging plug.
The battery should not be charged at very high and very low
temperatures (below -10 °C and above +40 °C). We recommend
that the cycle should not be exposed to bright sunlight during
charging.
Electrical devices should not be connected to the
mains over long periods without supervision. Hence,
you should pull out the power plug from the mains
socket during vacations or during long periods of
absence.
Tip:
If you do not use the Pedelec for long intervals, please recharge
the Lithium-ion battery once every six months. Pull out the
fuse from the battery during storage to rule out consumption
of electricity (very little) by the protective electronic circuit
itself. Of course, you must reinsert this fuse before charging
again.

Adjustments before a ride
Check the following before each ride
– All screws, wheel nuts or quick release are tight
– The brakes function
– The air pressure of the tyres is sufficient
– The lighting system is intact
– The bell is OK.
Seat and handle bar:
You bicycle is assembled by the dealer and is in a road-worthy
condition. The handle bar and seat position is adjusted to your
height. While adjusting the seat and handle bar height, pay
attention to the minimum insertion depth marked on the handle
stem shaft and seat support. Never pull out the handle bar or
seat above the marking!
Seat:
The seat can be adjusted in three directions:
height, inclination and distance from handle bar (Figures 7, 8):
Height:
– Loosen the seat clamping bolts (Figure 7 Pos. 1) or quick
release (Figure 8 Pos. 1)
– Move the seat support in or out
– Tighten the clamp after making the adjustment.
You have adjusted the seat height according to your body size,
so that, while sitting on the seat, the tips of your toes touch
the ground on both sides.
Figure 7 Figure 8
Caution! The seat support must remain clamped at
least up to the mark. Otherwise it might break,
leading to a fall! Leather seats can discolour clothes
when used initially under wet conditions. Frequent
re-adjustments of the seat can leave permanent
scratches on the surface of the seat support due to
the mechanical action. These damages fall under
normal wear and tear, and do not constitute a case
of materials defect liability.
Inclination of the seat and distance from handle bar
(Figures 7, 8):
– Loosen the nut of seat piston or inner hexagon bolt (2)
– Move seat forward or backward
– Incline the seat
– Tighten the nut or inner hexagon bolt

The handle bar can be adjusted as follows (Figures 9, 10):
Caution! After a fall on the handle bar, you must
replace the handle bar and stem. Invisible micro
cracks can lead to breakage and therefore, pose a
risk of falling!
Adjusting height:
– Loosen the nut or inner hexagon bolt of the expander bolt
(Figure 9, 10, pos.1)
– Loosen the bolt with a gentle hammer blow and adjust the
correct handle bar height.
– Tighten the expander bolt finally.
Caution! Please pay attention to the marking, which
should under no circumstance project out of the
control tube. Danger of breaking – and therefore,
risk of falling! Frequent re-adjustments of the seat
can leave permanent scratches on the surface of
the seat support due to mechanical action. These
damages falls under normal wear and tear, and does
not constitute a case of materials defect liability.
Figure 11
Adjustment:
– Loosen the screw joint.
– Rotate the handle bar to the desired position.
– Tighten the screw joint.

Brake
The brake system must be checked before each ride. Only the
dealer should be entrusted with the job of adjusting the brakes.
Readjustment of the brakes is required when you observe an
increasing idle travel of the hand brake lever. The same comes
closer and closer to the handle bar grip due to the wear and
tear of the brake rubber (shoe). Regular readjustment is
necessary.
The brake rubbers are parts subjected to wear and tear and they
do not constitute a materials defect liability.
Rear wheel back pedal brake
This brake cannot be adjusted.Please note that the brake
becomes ineffective the moment the chain is damaged or comes
off.
Pedals
The pedals must be fixed tightly at all times. During assembly
and dismantling, please keep in mind that the pedals have two
types of threads. The threads on the pedals and the treadle are
exposed to strong forces. They hold only if the pedals are screwed
tightly.
The right pedal (chain side) is marked with R at the axle end
and has right-hand threads.
The left pedal is marked with L at the axle end and has left-
hand threads.

Foot pedals
The foot pedals are mounted with hexagon bolts on the square
attachments of the bottom bracket axle. The stable hub of the
foot pedal must be checked regularly. Remove the safety caps
and tighten the screws located below them.
The right pedal must
therefore be screwed in
the clockwise direction,
while the left pedal must
be screwed in the opposite
direction.

Handle bar bearing
Check:
– Apply the brake for the front wheel and move the cycle forward
and backward.
If there is too much tolerance due to wear and tear, the bearing
must be adjusted without delay.
The adjustment should be done by a specialized workshop.
Lighting system
The CROSSWAVE Pedelec is equipped with a lighting system that
draws power from the drive battery. It is switched on and off
via a switch on the front headlight (Figure 14). An electronic
circuit in the headlight converts the 25V of the drive battery
into 6V for the light.
As the power requirement of the bicycle lighting is very low, a
light left on would last about 2-3 days. Moreover, the protective
electronic circuit prevents a depth discharge of the battery if
the light remains switched on inadvertently.
Figure14
Caution! Nevertheless, always switch the light
off while parking the Pedelec else you might
suddenly find the battery empty.

Spokes
The spokes expand and become loose in course of time. They
must be centred regularly according to the degree of use.
The centring of the wheel and tightening of the spokes should
be entrusted to a specialized workshop. A uniform and proper
tightening of the spokes is necessary for a uniform rotation of
the wheels. Loose spokes, non-uniform spanning or overload
may lead to broken spokes.
