Congratulations on
your Gazelle!
Congratulations on your Gazelle with the innovative Shimano Steps
system. This bike provides you with assistance on the move by
means of an innovative electric drive system. This will make your
cycling a great deal more enjoyable when riding into headwinds and
carrying your belongings. You can choose how much of a boost you
would like.This manual will help you discover all the advantageous
features of your bike and use them correctly as you wish.
We strongly advise you to read through this manual attentively.
This manual constitutes a supplement to the general user manual.
This manual is written in general terms. This means that
certain articles will apply to your bike while others will not.
You can download the general user manual from the
www.gazellebikes.co.uk/service-and-warranty/manuals/ website.

Safety
General
Take care when children are around,
especially if they are able to insert
objects through apertures in the motor
housing. There is a risk of a life-threatening
electric shock.
If you think the bike is no longer safe to use,
you must take it out of use at once, secure
it against unintentional switching on or use,
as the case may be, and make it available to
the dealer for inspection. It is no longer safe
to use if current-carrying components or the
battery show visible signs of damage.
The walk assist function must only be used
when wheeling the bike on foot. There is a
risk of injury if the wheels on an e-bike are
not in contact with the ground when using
walk assist.
Do not make any changes to your
electric system or fit any other prod-
ucts to it aimed at increasing the power
output from your electric system. As a rule
you will shorten the service life of the sys-
tem and risk damaging the Drive Unit
(motor) and the e-bike. In addition there
also the danger that you will void the war-
ranty cover on the e-bike you have bought.
Furthermore, as a result of inexpert work on
the system you will jeopardise your safety
and that of other road users which risks acci-
dents caused by manipulations, high person-
al liability costs and potentially even
the danger of criminal prosecution.
Legal requirements
Like all cycles, the bike must comply
with the requirements of the national
highway code.
The legal requirements set out below
are applicable to the bike:
• The motor may only be used to assist
pedalling, i.e. it must only “help” when the
bike user applies eort to the pedals him
or herself.
• The average motor power must not
exceed 250 W.
• As speed increases motor power must
continue to drop progressively.
• The motor must stop at (approximately)
25 km/h.
See also the EC Declaration of Conformity
included with your bike.
Significance for the user
There is no obligation to wear a
helmet. However, for your own
safety we advise you not to cycle without
a helmet.
A separate driving licence is not required for
an electric bike. Insurance is not obligatory
for an e-bike.
There is no age restriction on using an e-bike.
Cycling on cycle tracks is regulated in the
same way as for conventional bikes.
These regulations apply to your bike
when using it within the European Union.
Other provisions may apply in countries
outside the EU and in isolated cases in
Europe as well. Before using your bike
abroad be sure to make enquiries about
which laws apply.

Safety and warranty
Read the Gazelle Safety and Warranty
manual for all safety instructions and
warranty conditions. You will be supplied
with this manual included as standard with
your bike and you can also access it digitally
on our website (www.gazellebikes.co.uk/
service-and-warranty/manuals/).
Waste disposal
The motor, display including control unit, bat-
tery, speed sensor, accessories and packag-
ing must be recycled in an environmentally
sound manner. Do not dispose of an e-bike
or its components with household waste!
For EU countries only: Under European
Directive 2012/19/EU electrical equipment
which is no longer usable and under Europe-
an Directive 2006/66/EC defective or spent
accumulators and batteries must be collect-
ed separately and recycled in an environ-
mentally sound manner.
The battery incorporated in the control
computer may only be removed if it is needs
to be disposed of. Opening the housing may
irreparably damage the display.
Hand in batteries and displays which are no
longer usable to an accredited cycle shop.
Battery
Remove the battery from the bike
before working on the e-bike (e.g.
assembly, maintenance, servicing the chain,
etc.), transporting it by car or by air or storing
it. There is a risk on injury in the event of
accidentally activating the electric system.
• Do not open the battery. This risks a
short circuit. Opening the battery renders
any warranty claim null and void.
• Protect the battery against heat (e.g.
against sustained exposure to strong sun-
light as well), fire and immersion in liquids.
There is a risk of explosion.
• Avoid touching the battery with paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or any other
small metal objects which could cause the
contacts to short out. Short circuits between
battery contacts can result in burns or fire.
Damage arising in this way due to a short
circuit will render any warranty claim null and
void.
• Improper use may cause fluid to leak out
of the battery. Avoid contact with it.
In the event of inadvertent contact wash o
with water. If the fluid comes into contact
with the eyes, you must seek medical assis-
tance as well. Battery fluid which has leaked
out may cause skin irritation and burns.
• Fumes may be released in the event of
damage and/or improper use of the battery.
Provide fresh air and seek medical help in
the event of any complaints. These fumes
may irritate the respiratory tract.
• Use only genuine Shimano Steps charg-
ers to charge the battery. A fire risk cannot
be ruled out if a charger is used which is not
a genuine Shimano Steps unit.
• Use the battery only in combination with
an e-bike with a genuine Shimano Steps
motor. This is the only way to protect the
battery against hazardous overloading.
• Use only genuine Shimano Steps bat-
teries which have been approved by the
manufacturer of your e-bike. Use of other
batteries may result in injury and/or fire. • If
other batteries are used no liability will be
accepted by Shimano Steps and no warranty
cover provided.
• Keep the battery out of children’s reach.
Take care not to drop the battery
when removing it from the bike. This
can actually damage the battery housing
irreparably.
5

• Batteries must not be exposed to
mechanical impact. This risks damaging the
battery.
• The bike operates at low voltage (36 V).
You must never attempt to use the bike
with a power source other than the original
battery that goes with it.
You will find descriptions of approved batter-
ies further on in this manual.
Charger
Protect the charger from rain and
moisture. In the event of water ingress
into a charger there is a risk of electric
shock.
• Charge Shimano Steps Lithium Ion
batteries approved for e-bikes only. The
battery voltage must match the voltage on
the charger. Otherwise there is a fire and/or
explosion risk.
• Keep the charger clean. Contamination
may give rise to an electric shock hazard.
• Check the charger, cable and plug each
time before they are used. Do not use the
charger if you have noticed any damage.
Do not open the charger yourself and have
it repaired only by qualified technicians and
only with genuine spare parts.
Damaged chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not use the charger on a readily flam-
mable surface (such as paper or fabric) or in
a flammable environment. There is a fire risk
to the heat generated in the charger during
charging.
Fumes may be released in the event of
damage and/or improper use of the battery.
Provide fresh air and seek medical help in
the event of any complaints. These fumes
may irritate the respiratory tract.
• Keep children under supervision. This
will ensure that children do not play with the
charger.
• Children and persons who, based on
their physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
their lack of experience and knowledge are
not capable of using the charger safely, must
not use this charger without supervision or
instruction by a responsible person. Other-
wise there is a risk of improper operation
and/or physical injury.
• On the underside of the charger there
is a brief outline of important safety instruc-
tions in English, French and Spanish, that
reads as follows:
- Observe the user manual in order to use
the unit safely. Risk of electric shock.
- Use only in a dry environment.
- Charge Shimano Steps electric system
batteries only. Other batteries may
explode and cause injury.
- Do not replace the mains lead.
There is a fire and/or explosion risk.
Motor
Do not open the motor yourself. The
motor is maintenance-free and must
only be repaired by your Gazelle specialist
and with genuine spare parts. This will
guarantee that motor safety is maintained.
Unauthorised opening of the motor will
render any warranty claims null and void.
• All components fitted to the motor
and other e-bike components (e.g. chain
ring, chain ring pick-up, pedals) must only
be replaced by components of identical
construction or by components specially
approved by the cycle manufacturer for your
e-bike. This will protect the motor against
overloading and damage.
• Remove the battery from the bike before
working on the e-bike (e.g. assembly, main-
tenance, servicing the chain, etc.), transport-
ing it by car or by air or storing it.
There is a risk on injury in the event of acci-
dentally activating the electric system.
6

• The walk assist function must only be
used when wheeling the bike on foot. There
is a risk of injury if the wheels on an e-bike
are not in contact with the ground when
using walk assist.
Use only genuine Shimano Steps batteries
which have been approved by the manufac-
turer of your e-bike. Use of other batteries
may result in injury and/or fire.
If other batteries are used no liability will be
accepted by Shimano Steps and no warranty
cover provided.
• Do not make any changes to your elec-
tric system or fit any other products to it
aimed at increasing the power output from
your e-bike. As a rule you will shorten the
service life of the system and risk damaging
the Drive Unit (motor) and the e-bike. In addi-
tion there also the danger that you will void
the warranty cover on the e-bike you have
bought. Furthermore, as a result of inexpert
work on the system you will jeopardise your
safety and that of other road users which
risks accidents caused by manipulations,
high personal liability costs and potentially
even the danger of criminal prosecution.
The motor is intended exclusively for
your e-bike drive and must not be
used for any other purpose.
Maintenance and repair
When carrying out settings, mainte-
nance or cleaning jobs be aware that
cables must not be pinched and/or kinked
nor must they be damaged by sharp edges.
Have all fitting and setting jobs carried out
by your Gazelle specialist.
Observe operating and storage
temperatures for e-bike components
see further on in this manual. Protect the
motor, display and battery against extreme
temperatures (e.g. under intense sunlight
without adequate ventilation).
These components (especially the battery)
can be damaged by extreme temperatures.
Transporting the bike
Transporting the bike by car
If you intend to transport your bike using a
cycle carrier, you will also need to ensure
that the carrier is suitable for the added
weight of the bike as well. You need to
remove the battery when transporting an
e-bike on a cycle carrier. Make sure that the
bicycle does not obscure the car’s compul-
sory lights.
Transporting the bike by train
You can take your bike in trains displaying a
bike sign.
If you have any questions you can contact
the transporter.
Transporting the bike by air
Your bike will generally be subject to
the cycle provisions of the airline
concerned. Batteries are covered by the law
on hazardous goods transport. There are
specific packaging and marking require-
ments to be observed for transport by
commercial users or transport by third
parties (e.g. air freight or a haulage compa-
ny). For advice on this please contact a
hazardous goods expert.
Warranty and service life
A two-year warranty applies to the battery.
Should a fault occur during this period, your
Gazelle specialist will replace the battery.
Normal ageing as well as wear and tear
of the battery do not constitute a material
deficiency.
7

Take care to ensure that the battery does
not get too hot. Battery ageing increases
sharply with temperatures above 40°C.
Being placed directly in the sun’s rays can
cause a battery to heat up considerably.
Take care to ensure you do not leave the
battery in a hot car and park your bike in the
shade during bike rides. If you cannot avoid
the heat, make sure you do not charge the
battery at the same time.
A fully charged battery ages at an even high-
er rate at high temperatures than a partially
charged one.
If you ride constantly using maximum motor
power, you motor will always need a higher
current. Higher currents cause the battery to
age faster.
You can also increase the service life of your
battery by using the assistance judiciously.
Cycle using a low assistance setting. Low-
er discharge current draws will save your
battery.
Charge the battery to around 60% (3
to 4 charge indication LEDs lit), before
storing it for a long time. Check charge
status after 6 months. If just one charge
indication LED is still lit you will need to
recharge the battery again to around 60%.
If the battery is stored fully dis-
charged for a long time, it may be
damaged despite the low self-discharge
rate and charge capacity may be substan-
tially reduced.
It is inadvisable to leave the battery connect-
ed to the charger for long periods.
The Shimano Steps mid-mounted motor is a
durable and maintenance-free drive unit. It is
nevertheless a wearing component which is
covered by a two-year warranty. As a result
of the added performance, the wearing com-
ponents such as the drive unit and brakes
are subjected to higher loads than on a
conventional bike. Components wear faster
due to the eect of increased power.
