For your safety
Your safety is very important, so read the following safety advices carefully. More safety tips are listed further
in the manual:
1. The LACROS Electric bike is equipped with an electromotor. It is very important that you are familiar with
the bike as soon as possible. We advise you to choose the first "practice rides" for easy roads with little
traffic and a smooth road surface.
2. When you want to ride, do not stand on the pedal, but first sit on the saddle and then start pedaling.
3. Ride the first rides preferably without electrical support to get familiar with your bike. After this you can
start with a low setting (motor support).
4. The LACROS bicycles have been tested by our employees. If you have any doubts about the bicycle and/or
the electrical installation of the bicycle, please contact us immediately.
5. Never expose the battery and the charger directly in the sun or heat surfaces. The battery is protected
against heat, but heating is better avoided.
6. Never use a charger other than the one supplied by Shinga B.V. It is very important for your safety to
always use the original charger.
7. The brakes are equipped with an "ABS" protection. As a result, the support stops when you use the brakes.
8. We recommend wearing a helmet while cycling.
The LACROS bicycles are delivered in accordance with the most recent European guidelines (page 3), if you
have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact us.
We are always available for users of LACROS bicycles:

Review documentation EMC-directive: 2014/30/EU Machine directive: 2006/42/EG
Your product is an electric folding bike. The bicycle can be folded at 2 locations, on the handlebar stem and
halfway at the frame. The bike is equipped with a pedal support system which is powered by an external
battery. The battery can be in different locations, such as on the luggage carrier or in the frame. The battery is
charged via an external charger. This external charger is a separate product and is already provided with a CE
mark (for example, the Low Voltage Directive and the EMC Directive).
The input voltage of the battery is 36V, the motor has a power capacity of 250W and the maximum speed of
the bike is 25 km/h.
Guidelines:
Based on the above product description, the following guidelines apply:
•EMC-directive: 2014/30/EU
•Machine directive: 2006/42/EG
The Low Voltage Directive does not apply because the input voltage is only 36V. The charger of the battery is
separately marked with a CE mark.
Based on the above guidelines, a number of (corresponding) standards apply.
The following relevant documents must be mentioned in this context and are also used as input for all other
documentation:
•NEN-EN 15194:2015 Cycles (Electrically power assisted cycles - EPAC Bicycles)
•NEN-EN-ISO 4210-1:2014 and
•EN ISO 12100:2010

How the electrical support work
The bicycle use PAS (pedal support) through a magnet-rotation sensor. This means that the electrical support
starts the moment the pedals go around. In addition, there is a thumb lever on the left side of the handlebars
to quickly and easily activate the maximum support (which is independent of the motor support 1 to 9). As
long as you continue to hold this thumb lever forward (while pedaling), the motor will give the maximum
support, similar to support position 9 on the display.
Support is interrupted when:
-You stop pedaling.
-The brakes are used.
-Release the thumb lever if you use it.
3. Battery and recharging
General:
•A full recharge takes approx. 4.5 - 8.5 hours. This depends on the capacity of your battery.
•The battery can be recharged both in and out of the bike.
•When replacing the battery, make sure that the contact points of the battery and the contact points of the
battery compartment match properly.
Recharge advice
•Always recharge the battery with the Lacros charger supplied with the bike. Do not use any other charger.
•The first 2 recharges of a new bicycle must be more than 60%. To realize this, wait the first 2 times before
recharging, until the battery indicator on the display has fallen below 40%.
•Recharging will stop automatically when the battery is fully charged. Only when the red indicator light on
the charger is lit, the battery will be recharged.
•After 2 full charges (first 2 charges), the battery does not have to run to a minimum of 40% before you start
recharging again. After 2 full recharges, the battery can be recharged at all times, even after short rides.
•The battery remains in good condition when you recharge the bike after every use (regardless of the
distance). So keep the battery as full as possible.
•The warranty on the battery expires if a deep discharge is detected (this can only happen if you leave the
battery on and leave it for a long time without recharging.)
•In the case of long-term storage: fully recharge the battery, disconnect the battery from the charger and
the bicycle and switch off the battery with the rocker switch. Charge the battery at least once every three
months.
•The battery performs less well below 10 °C, you will have less battery capacity.
