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 electrical-
ly-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, pedal-
ling 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 should refer to the B’TWIN user manuals common to all our bicycles that ac-
company this document and are also available on our website www.btwin.com or on
reque󰄋 in our DECATHLON 󰄋ores.

10 be󰘵 practices for getting the mo󰘵 out of your electrically-assi󰘵ed bicycle.
1. You need to pedal to go further
3,5 - 4,5 bar
2. In order to improve battery life and e󰘲ciency, pump
the tyres to between 3.5 and 4,5 bar
< 3 bar
pfff
3. Under-in󰘱ated tyres are more prone to punctures
20° 5°
4. cold weather reduces battery life
5. Overloading the bicycle will reduce the battery life 6. Battery life will drop when cycling uphill
< 3 months
7. The battery mu󰘵 be fully charged at lea󰘵 once every
3 months
> mode 1 < mode 1
8. It is advisable to reduce the power assi󰘵ance mode
when the battery charge is low
9. the battery level indicator is more accurate when the
bike is at a complete 󰘵op
10. Remove the battery before conducting any mainte-
nance 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 assis-
tance 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.
