provided in this manual may cause severe injury.
Riders must also ensure that the electrically power assisted cycle is kept clean, in

maintenance.
Riders must carefully assess any weather conditions which could make it potentially
dangerous to use the electrically power assisted cycle.
This product is a vehicle, therefore, the faster is it goes, the longer the braking distance
required. We, therefore, recommend moderating your speed and maintaining an
adequate braking distance if you are riding in adverse weather conditions and/ or heavy
The braking distance increases on wet, slippery, muddy or icy roads and the tyre grip
decreases significantly with the risk of the wheels skidding and loss of balance compared
to dry roads.
It is, therefore, essential to ride the bike with greater care, maintain a suitable speed and
safety distance from other vehicles or pedestrians.
Take extra care when riding on unfamiliar roads.
For your safety, we recommend wearing suitable protective equipment (helmet, knee
and elbow pads) to protect yourself from any falls or injuries while riding the bike. When
allowing others to use the bike, ensure that the rider wears the safety equipment and
explain how to operate the vehicle. To avoid injury, do not allow other persons to use the
item if they do not know how to use it.
Wear shoes before using the item.
The bike has been designed to allow the load of a maximum overall weight (rider and any
load being carried) that does not exceed the value indicated in the product data sheet.

made by the rider when pedalling based on the real-time reading of values detected by a
series of pedal-assist sensors. These sensors are positioned on the outside of the frame
or inside the components themselves and are based on the control parameters entered
by the user via the handlebar controls (Display).
In accordance with the provisions of European Directive 2002/24/EC, the electric motor
supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle, is only activated to assist the user
when pedalling and will be disabled upon reaching a speed of 25 km/h.
The electrically power assisted cycle has been designed and manufactured to be ridden

other people.
DANGER

10
Use the electrically power assisted cycle for uses other than the ones for which it has
been manufactured.
Use the electrically power assisted cycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Use the electrically power assisted cycle in areas at a risk of fire, explosions or in places
with a corrosive and/or chemically active atmosphere.
Use the electrically power assisted cycle in adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, hail,
snow, strong wind, etc.).
Use the electrically power assisted cycle in poorly lit areas.
Ride across or remain on uneven or rough ground (bumpy roads with potholes,
depressions, obstacles, etc.) to avoid the risk of falls and injury to the rider and damage
to the bike.
Smoke or use open flames near the charging area.
Allow the electric and electronic components of the electrically power assisted cycle to
come into contact with water or other liquids.
If any manufacturing defects occur or if any unusual noises or faults are detected, do not

The values of the recommended tightening torques for fastening the specific
components present on the product can be identified in correspondence with the relative
elements.
A correct tightening torque (screws, bolts, nuts) is essential for safety. If not enough
force is applied, the seal is not ensured. An excessive force can damage the threads or
cause elongation, deformation or breakage of the fixing device. In both cases, a wrong
tightening torque can cause losses of control and falls.
Where indicated, check that every screw is tightened to the specified torque.

Verification of the correct tightening of the components through lever systems (quick
clamping mechanisms), regulated by acting on the clamping nut and not on the locking
lever of the mechanism, in the absence of technically precise indications of the relative
values, can take place by testing that the relative component being fastened is not
