Adjusting the telescopic fork
Your G4 is supplied with a telescopic fork to the front to make journeys more comfortable
for the cyclist and any passengers. It also makes journeys safer by improving the bike’s
handling. This fork allows adjustments to firmness and an adjustment to lock its length in
part.
Adjustments to firmness are made by turning the black thumbwheel situated on top of the
fork in one direction or the other. Carry out several tests in order to find the setting that
suits you, according to the feel, your loads and habits.
The partial locking of the fork’s length is carried out by turning the blue thumbwheel
towards the front of the bike (that position is symbolised by the closed padlock). Take care
that this procedure is done before loading the bike. We advise you to lock the fork for loads
above 60 kg.
Travelling with the fork in a locked position on a degraded road may, over
the long term, damage the damper system. Ensure to maintain the fork in
an unlocked position in order to guarantee your comfort when riding and
the proper functioning of the suspension.
Charging the battery
So that your battery’s performance is optimised, it is important to carry out complete
charges and complete discharges for the first 3 rides. It is therefore necessary to allow the
assistance to cut out automatically. Then proceed with a complete recharge of the battery
until the charger stops. After 3 initial cycles, it is no longer necessary to discharge the
battery completely before charging again.
One complete charge to 100% allows the battery cells to become
balanced, which allows preservation of the battery’s capacity for as long
as possible. If you are in the habit of disconnecting the charger before
charging is complete, it is necessary to carry out such a charge at regular
intervals.
On the other hand, if you intend to store the battery away for a long
period without using it (upwards of two weeks), do not charge beyond
70% of its total capacity.
When the assistance cuts out, the system remains active for around 60 min to benefit from
the lights in order to finish your journey in complete safety. In that case, recharge the
battery as soon as possible.
A completely discharged battery must not be stored in any environment
that is too cold (<10°C), nor left stored for more than 24 hours without
being recharged, otherwise it enters into a state of deep discharge, which
may damage it irretrievably.
