2.1 Charging instructions
Read the following instructions and warnings carefully before using the
e-bike. The manufacturer is not responsible for accidents or malfunctions
caused by improper use of the e-bike or parts of the e-bike:
• Fullychargethebatterypackoncebeforetherstuseofthebike.
• Every battery runs down over time. This process is called ‘self-discharge’.
A battery pack that is empty and that is not charged can reach deep
discharge due to self-discharge within two months, causing it to become
defective. The warranty is void in the event of deep discharge.
• The battery pack does not need to be completely empty before charging.
The battery pack will remain in good condition if you charge the bicycle
after every use (regardless of the trip distance). Once the battery is fully
charged, charging stops automatically. The light on the charger continues
to be lit green.
• You can leave the charger connected for long-term storage. If this is not
possible, charge the battery pack fully and disconnect the charger from
the battery pack. Charge the battery pack fully at least once every two
months.
• Ensure that the battery pack remains within the temperature limits given
below.Thisextendsthelifespanandincreasestheperformanceofthe
battery pack. Furthermore, charging or the power assistance will not
work outside the temperature limits.
Status Minimum [°C] Maximum [°C]
While charging 0 45
During use -15 60
Storage (at least 80%
charge level) -10 35

English
• Always charge the battery pack using the charger delivered with
the bicycle. Do not use any other charger. The colour of the plug
must match the colour of the socket.
• No not connect the charger to the mains voltage when it is not
used.
• Disconnect the charger from the battery before you start cycling.
• Make sure that the charger does not get wet.
• Do not damage the charger.
• Do not charge the battery pack in direct sunlight.
• Do not drop the battery pack. This can damage the battery pack.
• Remember that your bike produces less power assistance at
lower temperatures (below 10°C) and that the battery pack will run
empty more quickly.
• Large temperature changes can cause major differences in the
battery charge indication, especially at low temperatures and with
a low charge on the battery pack.

2.2 Charging the battery pack
1. Check whether the mains cord has
been connected to the charger
correctly (A).
2. Connect the charger (A) to the
mains voltage. The green indicator
lamp (B) will light up.
3. Connect the plug (C) to the charger
at the charging point (D).
4. An LED light (E) on the battery pack
willstarttoash.
5. When all 5 LED lights (E) are lit, the
battery pack is fully charged.
The battery can be charged both on and separate from the bicycle.
If the battery is charged on the bike, the battery charge of the battery
pack will be displayed on the display in percentages. An indication of the
expectedchargingtimewillalsobedisplayed.Theactualchargingtimecan
vary and will depend on the temperature, charger type and battery type.
If the battery is charged separate from the bike, the LED lights on the battery
pack will display the battery charge.
Every LED light represents 20%. Also see the table below.
Number of lit LED lights on the battery pack
while charging
Charge indication
4 (5thashes) 80 - 100 %
3 (4thashes) 60 - 80 %
2 (3rdashes) 40 - 60 %
1 (2ndashes) 20 - 40 %
None (1stashes) 0 - 20 % *
Example(chargingseparatefromthebike):1LEDonthebatterypacklights
up green and the 2ndLEDashes:thechargingprocesshasnowcharged
the battery between 20% and 40%.
*Pedal assist will stop with 0% battery charge. The battery pack will still have enough energy
to supply power to the display and bicycle lights for a few hours (also see par. 3.8.6).

2.3 Installing the battery pack
1. Remove the key from the lock of the
docking station (A).
2. Carefully push the battery pack (B)
under the luggage carrier alongside
the guide until the lock clicks (C).
3. Make sure that the cover (D) of the
charging plug is closed.
4. Make sure the battery pack (B) is
locked by pulling it backwards.
A correctly installed battery pack
can no longer be removed without
a key.
2.4 Removing the battery
pack
1. Insert the key (A) in the lock (B) (this
key is the same as the key for the
bicycle lock).
2. Make sure that the cover (C) of the
charging plug is closed.

3. Remove the battery pack (A) from the
luggage carrier using the handle (B)
on the bottom of the battery pack.
• Always remove the battery
pack with two hands to
prevent the battery pack from
falling.
• Take the battery pack out
of the luggage carrier when
transporting the bicycle by
car.
2.5 Security
The battery pack can only be used on the bicycle on which it has been
installed. A code in the software makes sure that it cannot be used
on another bicycle, that is to say, there will be no peddling assistance
(protection against theft). A second battery pack can in many cases be
purchased for your e-bike. Contact your dealer for more information.
2.6 Connect module*
It is possible that your e-bike is equipped with a connect module. The e-bike
then has an Internet connection, so that you can always see the location
andstatusofyoure-bike.Thatishandyintheeventoftheft,forexample.
In order to make use of the entire connect module, you must install an app
on your telephone. The app can be found in the app store/play store, by
runningasearchfor‘SpartaConnect’.Youwillndmoreinformationabout
this module on Sparta’s website.
The connect module, in combination with the app, gives you access to the
following functionalities, among other things:
- Motion recording: message generated if the e-bike is moving faster than
50 km per hour or if the e-bike falls over or is moved.
* Optional.

- Charge-up reminder: message generated if the small battery of the
module must be charged up. For this purpose, slide the battery pack into
the luggage rack. See §2.2.
- Service reminder direct to your mobile: message generated if it is time for
a servicing session.
- Geofencing: message generated if your e-bike goes into or moves out of
anareawhichyouyourselfhavespecied.
- Track and trace: trace your e-bike by means of GPS. Gain insight (via the
app) into the current location of your e-bike.
- Bike’s history: see where you have cycled, going back as far as one year
in the past.
You buy bikes equipped with the connect module ready for use. It is not
possibletotthemoduleontoyourbikelater.
2.7 Diagnosis message
If all the LED lights on the battery pack
ash,rstcheckwhetherthe
battery pack (A) has been connected
correctly to the contact point of the
docking station (B).
IftheLEDlightscontinuetoash,
contact your dealer.
The contact surface between the
battery pack and the docking station
must be free from dirt and moisture to
make sure the e-bike works correctly.
Use a clean cloth to clean it if required. Much moisture and dirt can lead to
contact problems and/or faults.
NB: the contact point (A) on the battery pack is magnetic and provides an
optimum connection between the battery pack and the docking station.
Metal particles are therefore attracted to contact point easily. Check the
contact points thoroughly for dirt, particularly when you have charged the
battery pack when disconnected from the bike.
