For your safety
The issue of safety cannot be overstated, so please read the following safety instructions carefully. More safety
tips will be discussed later in this manual:
1. The LACROS electric bicycle is equipped with an electric motor. It is of great importance that you get used to
the bike quickly. We advise you to choose quiet roads for your first "cycle practices" with little traffic
situations and a pleasant road surface.
2. Do not immediately step on the pedal when you start a bicycle ride; this can lead to dangerous situations.
Always sit down on the saddle first before you start cycling.
3. It is the rider's responsibility to steer and brake.
4. Preferably cycle the first rides without electric assistance to get familiar with your bicycle. After that, you can
start with pedal assistance at a low setting.
5. The brakes are equipped with 'ABS' safety. As a result, the electric assistance switches off when braking.
6. Our employees always test the LACROS bicycles. Please get in touch with us if you have any doubts about
the bike and/or the bicycle's electrical installation.
7. Never leave the battery and charger in direct sunlight. The battery is protected against heat, but intense
heating should be avoided.
8. Never use a charger other than the one supplied by Shinga B.V. Always use the original charger for your
safety.
9. We advise wearing a helmet while cycling. Also, always check the tire pressure and handlebar and saddle
clamps before departure, and take into account a longer braking distance during bad weather conditions.
The LACROS bicycles are delivered in accordance with the most recent European directives (page 3). In case you
have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
We are always available for users of LACROS bicycles:

Thank you for your trust,

Quality standard
Your product concerns an electric folding bicycle. The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the driver's
ears is less than 70 dB(A). The bike can be folded at one or two locations, at the handlebar stem and/or at the
middle of the frame. The drive is equipped with pedal assistance and is powered by an external battery. This
battery can be positioned in different locations, such as in the luggage carrier or the frame. The battery is
charged utilizing an external charger. This external charger is considered a separate product and is CE certified
(based on the Low Voltage Directive and the EMC Directive).
The battery's input voltage is 36V, the motor's capacity is 180W or 250W, and the vehicle's maximum speed is
25 km/h.
Based on the above product description, the following directives apply:
•EMC-Directive: 2014/30/EU
•Machinery Directive: 2006/42/EC
•ROHS Directive: 2011/65/EU
The Low Voltage Directive does not apply because the input voltage is only 36V. The charger of the battery is
separately labeled with a CE mark.
From the above directives, several (harmonized) standards are applicable.
The following three standards are relevant in this context and should be used as input for all other documentation:
•EN 15194:2017 (Bicycles - Electrically supported bicycles –EPAC Bicycles)
•NEN-EN-ISO 4210-1:2014
•EN ISO 12100:2010

The saddle and handlebar height
Figure 1: seat or handlebar post Figure 2: seat or handlebar post
It is possible to adjust the saddle and handlebar height by loosening the clamp in figure 2. Subsequently, you can
move the seat or handlebar up or down. Fasten the clamp again at the right height. Pay attention to the rippled
line that is engraved in the seat post and stem. This line shows the minimum length that should remain
in the frame (seat post) or the steering column (handlebar post).
The front fork suspension (n/a on all models)
The front fork suspension, if applicable, can be set by turning the
"preload" rotary knob. When you turn the knob in the "+" direction,
clockwise, the suspension becomes stiffer, and when you turn the knob
in the "-" direction, counterclockwise, the suspension is set looser. We
recommend that at a higher load the suspension should be set stiffer so
that the maximum suspension travel is not reached too quickly.
The Tire Pressure
The maximum permitted tire pressure varies per type of tire. Therefore, always look at the side of the tire first
before inflating it to ensure you don't exceed the limit.
We recommend the following tire pressures:
Model
Tire pressure (Bar/psi)
Scamper, Ambling, Sketch Nestor, Canter, Trotter, Sierra
3.0-4.0
50.8-58.0
Mustang
1-1.3
14.5-18.9
Gemini, Papillon
2-2.3
29.0-33.4

CE User Manual LACROS 1.9 EN

The tires are equipped with a Dutch valve (Blitz) or a car valve (Schräder). A tire with a Dutch valve can be
inflated with a standard bicycle pump. An adapter nipple also fits on these valves so that you can inflate the tire
with a car tire pump.
The Brakes
Our bicycles are equipped with two brake levers (A). We recommend
using both brake levers when braking. You can operate the rear and
front brakes by squeezing the right and left brake levers.
Your bicycle may be equipped with rim brakes, disc brakes, and/or
roller brakes. The three figures below show the types of brakes
which may be fitted on your bicycle.
Figure 1: Rim brake Figure 2: Disc brake Figure 3: Rollerbrake
For your safety:
•Note that rims and brake pads could be hot after using rim brakes.
•Note that brake discs, calipers, and pads could be hot after using disc brakes. The rims are not part of the
braking system.
•Rim and disc brakes should be properly braked in and grease-free to prevent squeaky brake noises. In
addition, brake the first kilometers with an even brake action. This ensures that the brake pads take the
shape of the rim or disc, creating an optimal braking surface.

The operation of the electrical support
The bicycle functions generally on PAS (pedal assistance) utilizing a magnet-rotation sensor. This means
that the electrical assistance starts when the pedals rotate. In addition, a thumb lever is located on the
handlebar, which can activate the maximum assistance, apart from assistance levels 1 to 9. As long as
the thumb lever has a forward position (during pedal rotation), the motor will give the maximum
assistance, comparable with assistance level 9 on the display.
Support is interrupted when:
-The pedals stop rotating;
-the brakes are being used;
-the thumb lever is released when in use.

works with medium force.
Folding the frame (Scamper and Ambling)
Stand on the left of the bicycle, fold the stand and then fold
the front wheel towards the rear wheel such that the wheels
are positioned close together. At the bottom side, a triangular
bracket is mounted on which the bicycle can stand when folded.
Note: the stand of the S600 (XL) with Bafang mid-drive motor
should be unfolded so that the bicycle can stand on it when
folded.
