OPERATING SAFETY
Important safety notes
N WARNING
Components can be damaged without it
being visible on the surface:
• in the event of an accident or fall
• if the bike tips over
Components damaged in this way could
fail unexpectedly, for example:
•the handlebars or the seat post could
break while you are riding the bike.
• the brakes could fail.
There is a risk of accident and injury.
In this or similar cases, have the e-bike
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
without delay.
N WARNING
When being used, the mechanical com-
ponents of the e-bike are subjected to
high
loads and wear. Components react diffe-
rently to these loads and show signs of
fatigue or wear at different rates. If the
operating life of a component is excee-
ded, the component could suddenly fail.
There is a risk of accident and injury.
•Have your e-bike checked regularly at
a qualified specialist workshop.
•Pay attention to any sign of cracks,
scratches or changes in colour. These
signs indicate that the component has
reached the end of its operating life.
•Have components showing signs of
wear or fatigue replaced at a qualified
specialist workshop.
The components affected are:

• Handlebars and stem
• Saddle and seat post
• Frame and fork
•Tires and wheels
• Pedals and pedal cranks
• Brake pads and brake discs
•Chain and transmission
• Battery
If work on electronic equipment and its
software is carried out incorrectly, this
equipment could stop functioning. The
electronic systems are linked together by
interfaces. Modifications to electronic sy-
stems may also cause systems that have
not been modified to malfunction. These
malfunctions could affect the operating
safety of your e-bike and therefore also
have a considerable effect on your safety.
You should therefore have all work and
modifications to electronic components
carried out at a qualified specialist wor-
kshop.
Do not make any modifications or carry
out work, such as drilling, soldering or
welding, on the frame or other load-be-
aring components. The stability and the
service life of the components could be
affected as a result. If you remove war-
ning stickers, you or others may not be
aware of possible dangers.
Leave warning stickers in position.
Rotating components, such as whe-
els, chain, pedal cranks or pedals,
could trap and pull in parts of the body or
clothing. Make sure that neither clothing
nor objects being carried get caught in ro-
tating parts.
Wear close-fitting clothing. Never wear a
scarf.
After braking, in particular after a long
downhill stretch, the brake discs, brake

callipers as well as quick-release devices
and axle nuts may be very hot. Wait until
these components have cooled down be-
fore touching them.
Do not ride without the battery or without
the control console. If the battery or the
control console are not fitted then the li-
ghting system will not function. Riding
without an operational lighting system is
not permitted, depending on national re-
gulations.
Qualified specialist workshop
A qualified specialist workshop has the
necessary special skills, tools and quali-
fications to correctly carry out any neces-
sary work on your e-bike. This particularly
applies to work relevant to safety.
Always have the following work on your
e-bike carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop:
• work relevant to safety
• service and maintenance work
• repair work
• modifications, installations and con-
versions
• work on electronic components
• work on the drive system
ITALMOTO recommends that you use a
ITALMOTO dealer which is qualified to
carry out work on ITALMOTO e-bikes.

Always make sure that your
ITALMOTO e-bike is used for the
purposes it was designed for. If the
ITALMOTO e-bike is used in ways for
which it was not designed, this could
result in damage to the fitted
components. This could then lead to
accidents and injuries. The ITALMOTO
e-bike is not intended for persons with
limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities. The e-bike is not suitable for
children under 14 years old.
Taking the battery for your ITALMOTO

smartphone and net pockets.

E-BIKE

ASSEMBLY AND SETTINGS
Clodia should reach you fully
assembled, with the exclusion of the
PEDALS and the SADDLE, which are
supplied separately. The handlebar
and frame arrive folded and must be
correctly positioned and locked in place
with the safety stops.
The Clodia frame, as illustrated, can be
folded and houses the battery.
A quick lock system permits fast folding
to reduce size for easier Clodia
transport. WARNING: FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS TO LOCK THE
FRAME. INCORRECT LOCKING
COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CLODIA
CONTROL.

Near the two parts of the frame as
illustrated.
Match up the two parts.
Make sure that the fastening lever is
locked in his close position.
Proceed in reverse order to open the frame and fold the Clodia.

The Clodia comes with the stem lowered
First, lift it to the vertical position

Rotate the safety ring
to prevent the fastening
lever from
accidentally unlocking.
Proceed in reverse order to fold up the Clodia.
Close the lock lever pushing upwards

The pedals will arrive disassembled and
in a separate plastic bag. Carefully
screw the pedals into the dedicated seat
and tighten with the spanner supplied.
CAUTION: In order to avoid them
coming loose during travel, the
pedals (of all bicycles) have the
characteristic feature of having the
left pedal with opposite thread.
In practice, when you screw them
in, you will need to do so in the opposite
direction, as though you were
unscrewing.
Insert the sleeve of the saddle in its
housing and adjust the height and tilt, by
turning the screws and quick-release
terminals, as shown in the figure.

INSPECTION BEFORE STARTING
A JOURNEY
Useful information
This Owner’s Manual describes all mo-
dels and all standard and optional equip-
ment available for your e-bike at the time
of publication of the Owner’s Manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Note that your e-bike may not be fitted
with all features described. This is also
the case for systems and functions rele-
vant to safety.
Safety-relevant equipment
The lighting system does not work when
you ride your e-bike without the control
console or battery. ITALMOTO
recommends that you always ride with
the lights on, even during the daytime.
The ITALMOTO e-bike is equipped with
a li-ghting system with the active and
passive components required for use on
public ro-ads. It also has an appropriate
brake sy-stem and a bell.
The lighting system includes the following
components:
• headlamp and tail light
• reflective strips on the tire sidewalls
• yellow reflectors on the pedals Check
the safety equipment regularly and have it
repaired at a qualified specialist
workshop as needed.
Suitable equipment
Depending on the country in which you
use your ITALMOTO e-bike, you may
be re-quired to wear a helmet.
Irrespective of any helmet law,
ITALMOTO recommends that you
always wear a suitable helmet and
goggles.

Wear conspicuous, bright clothing appro-
priate for cycling and shoes which are su-
itable for the bike’s pedals. When riding in
traffic, always be considerate and obser-
ve the traffic rules and regulations in order
to avoid endangering yourself and others.

INSPECTION BEFORE STARTING
A JOURNEY
Checking tires and wheels
N WARNING
If seated at an angle, valves may break
off while the e-bike is in operation. If
this happens, the tire will suddenly lose
pres-sure.
There is a risk of an accident.
Check the seating of the valves. The val-
ves must extend from the wheel rim at
right angles. Correct the position of any
incorrectly seated valves immediately.
Before every ride, check the following:
•tires and wheels for damage and fo-
reign bodies lodged in the tires. Da-
maged wheels can lead to a loss of
pressure and result in further damage.
•tire tread depth
• true running of the wheels by allowing
both wheels to rotate freely. Out-o-
fround wheels can be an indication
of tires which have burst at the side,
broken axles or torn spokes. Also inve-
stigate any rattling noises and check
bearings and bolted connections if ne-
cessary.
Checking the chain
NWARNING
Inadequately secured transmissions
gears and safety guards may become
loose while the e-bike is in operation.
Incorrectly aligned chain may become
detached from the transmission gears
while the e-bike is in operation.
There is a risk of accident and injury.
• Before every ride, check to make sure
the chain is properly aligned and
