tube.
5.3.4 Adjusting the seat height
To ri d e c o m fo rt ab ly a nd s af el y, th e se at m us t be s et t o f it y ou r b o dy s iz e.
To ad ju st t he h ei gh t, o pe n th e q u i c k -lock on the seat post (Image 15). Set the seat at a height where the
foot rests on the pedal on the lowest position while sitting with the leg not fully straight. You should be
able to comfortably touch the floor with the tips of your feet. Press the quick-lock lever until tight again.
Only pull the seat post out up to the
marking, lines, Image 23. The marking
cannot be visible!
Ensure that the seat post quick-lock sits firmly and the tension lever is flat against the seat
tube.
5.3.5 Parking the Miniped
First switch the Miniped off before parking it.
Only park the Miniped on a firm surface (no sand,
gravel or other loose surfaces). Fold out the stand
(Image 24) and lean the Miniped until the stand
touches the ground. Check that the Miniped stands
securely before letting go of it.

Ensure that the stand is completely folded up and clicked in place before riding away in the
Miniped. A folded-down stand can lead to serious falls while riding.
6. Maintenance and care
Do not park the MIniped outdoors unprotected. Avoid direct sunlight or rain. Rainwater permeating the
interior of the Miniped can lead to short circuits thereby destroying the electronics.
Perform a brake test after cleaning and/or before starting a trip.
6.1 Maintenance
6.1.1 Tyre Pressure
The wheels of the Miniped are outfitted with Schrader valves (car tyre valves). The tyres can be inflated
using a conventional air pump for this type of valve, or with compressors.
When using compressors (e.g. at a gas station) the maximum filling pressure is quickly
attained due to the small volume.
Tyre pressure front and back: max. 2.8 bar
If you aren't using the Miniped for a longer period of time, park it in such a way that the tyres are
unencumbered.
6.1.2 Battery
Control the charge level of the battery regularly by reading the battery display in the digital instrument.
If only one charging bar is visible re-charge the battery. In the event of longer periods of non-use, e.g.
winter break, charge the battery every three months. When starting to use the Miniped after a long break,
connect the battery to the charging device for approx. one day.
6.1.3 Chain
Lubricate the chain every 500 km or after each cleaning and after every ride in the rain with a chain
lubricant from a specialised bike shop. Check the chain tension every 500 km. To do this, lift the returning
part of the chain in the middle. If the chain can be lifted more than the height of five chain links, the chain
tension is too low and the chain must be tightened or replaced.
6.1.4 Brakes
If the performance of the brakes decreases and you have to pull the brake handle very far, readjust the
brake cables by untwisting the adjusting screw on the brake lever. When this is no longer enough to
guarantee safe braking performance, find a specialised bike workshop to repair the brakes.
6.1.5 Changing remote control batteries
Two button batteries, Type CR2025, 3V, lithium, are needed for replacement. Open the remote control
and switch the batteries as depicted in Images 25 to 28.
When inserting the battery ensure that the positive terminal of the button batteries is on top.

6.3 Care
Never clean the Miniped with a high-pressure cleaner. This can damage the tyres and destroy
seals. Water can permeate the bearings and the electric system.
Use conventional cleaning and care products for bikes when cleaning. Prevent penetration of liquid into
the interior of the electrical system and into the digital instrument. Do not use a polishing product for the
plastic surfaces.

Page 14 / 16
7. Notes about environmental protection
Never dispose of electrical devices in household waste! Electrical and electronic devices must
be collected and brought in for environmentally compatible recycling. Ask your municipality or
city administration for disposal options for electrical and electronic devices.
At the end of their service lives, old batteries cannot be disposed of in household waste - or
carelessly in the environment. Hand in old batteries at distributor (dealer) collection points. By
doing so you are making a valuable contribution to protecting the environment. Municipalities
partially take back old batteries, for instance through waste collection vehicles or at recycling
yards.
