II. Information pack
In addition to this user guide, your Groove Go pedelec comes with a
booklet, CD, a service book, two declarations of conformity, component
guides and if you have bought a Kalkho or Raleigh pedelec, a guarantee
card. The following points describe the contents of the information pack in
more detail.
II.I Booklet and CD
The booklet contains a quick-start guide which describes how to check
the torque settings, attach the pedals and adjust the height of the
saddle. At the back of the booklet is a CD. The CD includes the "Original
User Manual | General" in several languages, which provides general
information on the dierent types of bikes and their components. If you go
online you can follow a link to our website. The CD can be played on any
standard PC or laptop. Proceed as follows:
Method A
1. Insert the CD.
2. Left-click the shelexec.exe le twice.
3. Select the required language.
4. Select "Open User Guide from CD" or "Check Online for New Version of
User Guide".
IMPORTANT
This symbol combined with the signal word "IMPORTANT"
indicates a potentially dangerous situation. Failure to comply with
this safety instruction can result in damage to the pedelec and its
components.
This symbol indicates helpful tips, useful or important
information about the product or its additional uses. It does
not indicate a dangerous or harmful situation.
I.II The Groove Go pedelec
Your Groove Go pedelec is an electrically power assisted cycle EPAC
(electrically power assisted cycle). When the assist mode is switched
on, the electric motor provides assistance as long as you are pedalling.
You can control the degree of assistance, which is adjusted using various
assist modes 5.5 Changing assist mode Page EN-34. The drive assistance
is dependent on the force and speed of your pedalling and the speed you
are travelling. Motor assist stops as soon as you stop pedalling and when
the battery is discharged or if you reach a speed of 25 km/h. So pedalling
harder is required if you want to travel faster than 25 km/h.
