Careful handling of the Pedelec
UÊ Prior to the transport of this cycle either at
the rear or on the roof of a motor vehicle, al-
ways remove any parts which may loosen in
transit (tool bag, luggage baskets, luggage
bags, pumps, child seats, drive battery etc.)!
Permissible load for the Pedelec
UÊ The permissible total weight (bike, cyclist and
luggage) for the Pedelec amounts to 130 kg.
UÊ The permissible load of the luggage carrier
is mentioned on the luggage carrier.
UÊ If your cycle is equipped with a front basket,
the additional load allowed here is 5kg.
Braking response
UÊ To ensure that the front wheel does not slip
and the Pedelec retains its steering capac-
ity, /perform careful braking maneuvers with
the front-wheel brake at tight curves/bends,
on sandy/slippery roads, wet asphalt and
black ice!
UÊ The brakes must be applied gently and pre-
cisely. Blocked wheels have a lesser brak-
ing effect and can therefore lead to skidding
and falls!
UÊ As a rule, brake prior to approaching a bend,
not in the bend itself; braking increases the
risk of slippage!
UÊ The brake levers attached to the handlebars
must always be firmly attached. Check them
regularly to ensure their firm attachment; ad-
just as necessary.
UÊ Any work on the brake system should be per-
formed solely by specialized dealers!
Proper use of the Pedelec
UÊ Your Pedelec is (due to its design and equip-
ment) designated for the same kind of use as
a typical bicycle: to use on public roads.
UÊ The safety equipment has been assembled
by manufacture: it must be regularly checked
by the user, and corrective maintenance must
be performed by the specialized dealer as
necessary.
UÊ In the event of non-compliance with the
safety guidelines indicated in these operating
instructions, We assumes no liability for any
resulting incidence of injury or damage. This
particularly applies to the use of the Pedelec
as well as to overloading and the improper
remedy of defects. Under these conditions,
there is no liability on our part for defects of
quality.
UÊ The Pedelec is not equipped for use in com-
petitive events.
Please also observe all other guidelines for
assembly, maintenance and upkeep indicat-
ed in this handbook (along with the specifi-
cations set forth by the gearshift-assembly
manufacturer).
Provisions on liability for
defects of quality
As a rule, the 24-month statutory period of liabil-
ity for defects of quality applies. The manufac-
turer shall warrant any material defects or design
errors on your Pedelec under the following pre-

Disclaimer for defects of quality
Excluded from liability for defects of quality: Per-
sonal injury or damage to any parts of your Ped-
elec which are not original parts (insofar as legally
permissible).
The performance of repair work neither extends
nor renews the warranty on the product as a
whole.
Start-up of the Pedelec
The following chapters of the user manual of the
Pedelec presume that all basic ergonomic set-
tings and necessary safety checks of your bike
have already been done:
UÊ Handle bar and seat have been brought to
the desired position and tightened appropri-
ately.
UÊ The wheels have sufficient tyre pressure and
their axle nuts have been tightened too.
UÊ The function of the brakes and pedal drive
has been checked.
UÊ The lighting system is functioning.
For more information refer to the Chapter
“Adjustments before ride”.
Now check the charging state of the battery
by pressing the key on the LED-charging
status display.
Check the charging status of the battery. To do
this, press the button marked “Test”. If only some
of the 4 green LEDs light up (F) or only the red
LED (E) lights up, the manufacturer recommends
that you first charge the battery fully.

Lithium-ion batteries get self-discharged
much slower than Nickel batteries can
therefore be store for approximately 2–3
months without recharging. However, if the
battery is not recharged after this period,
the chemical structure can be damaged,
which affects the performance of the battery
considerably and can make it unusable.

Charging and maintenance
of the drive battery
The pedelec runs on a 36.3V 10Ah (363Wh) SAM-
SUNG SDI lithium-ion battery. The battery con-
tains an electronic protection circuit that prevents
excessive discharging and overcharging.
Avoid storing a fully discharged battery
for weeks.
Sleep Mode
To save energy, the battery automatically switch-
es into Sleep Mode when the pedelec is not in
use. To revert back to normal operating mode,
press the button on the battery’s charge status
display.
The original charger operates using CC-CV41
technology. In conjunction with the battery’s
electronic protection system, the possibility of
any damage occurring to the battery at any time
can therefore be ruled out as can any possibil-
ity of overcharging through an incorrect charg-
ing current. The charger is for indoor use only!
Please read the charger manual attached prior to
initial use.
Remove the battery charger from the box, un-
wind the cable bundle and plug it into the multi-
pin charging socket located on the side of the
drive battery. A cover protects against splash
water. Open the cover (protective cap) by sliding
sideways.

The LED on the charger will change from green
to red. The charging starts. If the battery pack
is nearly full (90%), the LED change from red to
flashing green. The first charging phase (CC =
Constant Current) is completed. It starts the CV
phase (constant voltage).
Fully charging the battery can take up to 6 hours.
CC-CV charging effectively means that 90 % of
the charging is completed after approximately 4
hours. A further 2 hours charging time are still re-
quired in CV-mode for the remaining 10 % ca-
pacity (with the existing 2A battery charger).
The battery can also be charged while
mounted on the bicycle.
The LED changes to a steady green light once
the charging process is complete. Although the
battery pack can be removed from the charger at
any time, it is recommended to charge the bat-
tery fully on every 10th occasion.
Danger of short circuit!
Ensure that no metallic objects come close to
the battery contacts and the charging plug.

Long-term trickle charging
It is not recommended to connect the battery
to the battery charger continuously over a pro-
longed period of absence, especially in winter.
If you do not use the pedelec for long periods,
please recharge the Lithium-ion battery once ev-
ery 3 months.
Electrical devices should not be connected
to the mains over long periods without
supervision. Hence, you should pull out the
power plug from the mains socket during
vacations or during long periods of absence.
Adjustments before a ride
Check the following before each ride
UÊ All screws, wheel nuts or quick release
are tight
UÊ The brakes function
UÊ The air pressure of the tyres is sufficient
UÊ The lighting system is intact
UÊ The bell is OK.
Seat and handle bar:
You bicycle is assembled by the dealer and is
in a road-worthy condition. The handle bar and
seat position is adjusted to your height. While
adjusting the seat and handle bar height, pay
attention to the minimum insertion depth marked
on the handle stem shaft and seat support.
Never pull out the handle bar or seat above the
marking! Electrical devices should not be con-
nected to the mains over long periods without su-
pervision. Hence, you should pull out the power
plug from the mains socket during vacations or
during long periods of absence.
Seat:
The seat can be adjusted in three directions:
height, inclination and distance from handle bar.
Height:
UÊ Loosen the seat clamping bolts or quick re-
lease.
UÊ Move the seat support in or out
UÊ Tighten the clamp after making the adjust-
ment.
You have adjusted the seat height according to
your body size, so that, while sitting on the seat,
the tips of your toes touch the ground on both
sides.
Inclination of the seat and distance from
handle bar
UÊ Loosen the nut of seat piston or inner hexa-
gon bolt (2)
UÊ Move seat forward or backward
UÊ Incline the seat
UÊ Tighten the nut or inner hexagon bolt
The seat support must remain clamped at
least up to the mark. Otherwise it might
break, leading to a fall! Leather seats can
discolour clothes when used initially under
wet conditions. Frequent re-adjustments of
the seat can leave permanent scratches on
the surface of the seat support due to the

Coaster brake hub
The coaster brake hub is a rear wheel brake that
is activated when you pedal backwards. You
must practice a little to get the hang of when the
brake is triggered.
Pedals
The pedals must be fixed tightly at all times. Dur-
ing assembly and dismantling, please keep in
mind that the pedals have two types of threads.
The threads on the pedals and the treadle are
exposed to strong forces. They hold only if the
pedals are screwed tightly. The right pedal (chain
side) is marked with R at the axle end and has
right-hand threads. The left pedal is marked with
L at the axle end and has left-hand threads.
Pedal right left
The right pedal must therefore be screwed in the
clockwise direction, while the left pedal must be
screwed in the opposite direction.
Caution! The improper installation of the
pedals can damage the threads in the crank
arms and make their exchange necessary
and do not constitute a case of materials
defect liability!
Foot pedals
The foot pedals are mounted with hexagon bolts
on the square attachments of the bottom bracket
axle. The stable hub of the foot pedal must be
checked regularly. Remove the safety caps and
tighten the screws located below them.
Handle bar bearing
Check:
Apply the brake for the front wheel and move
the cycle forward and backward. If there is too
much tolerance due to wear and tear, the bearing
must be adjusted without delay. The adjustment
should be done by a specialized workshop.
Spokes
The spokes expand and become loose in course
of time. They must be centred regularly according
to the degree of use. The centring of the wheel
and tightening of the spokes should be entrusted
to a specialized workshop. A uniform and proper
tightening of the spokes is necessary for a uni-
form rotation of the wheels. Loose spokes, non-
uniform spanning or overload may lead to broken
spokes.
Quick release
Quick release is found at the front and rear wheels
as well as at the seat tube clamp, depending on
the model.
Before going on a ride, check that the quick re-
lease is closed and fixed. If the front wheel clamp
gets loose when you apply the brakes, stop right
away and tighten the quick release.
The quick release lever has two positions,
CLOSE and OPEN.
First adjust the tightness with the nut M. Then
press the lever with a little force to the position
CLOSE.

Tyres and rims
The maximum permissible tyre pressure is speci-
fied on the outer side of the tyre. Do not ride the
cycle with too little air (wheel skims) or too much
air (tube explodes). Wrong air pressure or flat
tyres lead to increased wear and tear even if the
bicycle is not used.

Figure, it should be possible to slightly move the
chain up and down by approximately 1.5 cm at
the centre of the two sprockets.

Operating panel functions
Switch on pedelec system
Press and hold the Power ON / OFF button (4) to
switch on the pedelec drive system.
The current charge status of the drive battery can
be seen in the display for the battery charge sta-
tus (1).
If all 5 LED light up, the battery is fully charged.
If only 1 LED lights up, the drive battery must be
recharged using the original battery charger (re-
fer to Chapter “Charging and maintenance of the
drive battery” for additional information).
Press the -button (5) or the -button (6) to se-
lect the desired drive mode - and in so doing the
speed.
The additional electrical drive system assists you
up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h while you are
pedalling. As soon as you stop pedalling, the mo-
tor automatically shuts off.
Please note that the battery’s mileage is
significantly reduced if high speeds are
selected. We recommend selecting a lower
speed and pedalling along in order to attain
the maximum mileage possible.

Bicycle lighting system
Switch the bicycle lights on or off by pressing the
lighting system button (3).
Switch off pedelec system
Press and hold (approx. 2 seconds) the power
ON / OFF button (4) to switch off the pedelec
drive system. The pedelec can now be used and
cycled like a conventional bicycle (without electri-
cal assistance).
If the lights are switched on, switching off ped-
elec assistance automatically turns them off. If
the pedelec is stationary for long periods and the
display panel does not register any activity either,
then to save energy the drive system automat-
ically switches off after around 5 minutes.
Please note that this automatic shut-off is
not active if the bicycle lights are switched
on. In this instance, the system remains
permanently switched on even if the bike is
stationary.
Using start assistance
Your pedelec system offers 2 different levels of
start assistance.
The first assistance level drives your pedelec
up to 3 km/h, the second assistance level up to
6 km/h (without pedalling) purely using motor
power.
Press the -button (6) to activate start assis-
tance. Drive modes 1, 2 and 3 result in pure elec-
tric assistance of up to around 3 km/h and in
drive modes 4 and 5 up to a maximum of around
6 km/h.
Press the -button (5) or -button (6) to select
the desired drive mode, then press and hold the
-button (6) to activate start assistance (refer to
Fig. below). Start assistance switches off as soon
as you release the button.
Mileage and its factors
The mileage that can be achieved with a fully
charged battery depends on many factors. The
following factors may affect the range: driving
uphill, headwind, speed level selected, level of
own pedal assistance, weight of the driver, con-
dition of road surface, tyre pressure.
Typical distance with an average use of pedal as-
sistance and a fully charged battery ranges be-
tween 40 and 70 km depending on the selected
mode.
It is virtually impossible to specify the exact op-
erational range as various factors influence the
assistance performance. First, the battery must
be optimally charged. This can be ensured by us-
ing the original battery charger, through sufficient
charging time, the age of the battery as well as its
continuous maintenance. If all these factors are
favourable, i.e. the operating temperature is be-
tween 0 and 40 °C and a full charge has taken
place, then 36.3V 10Ah x = 363Wh of stored en-
ergy should be available to begin driving.
With the battery’s increasing age, the maximum
amount of stored energy can sink by a third and
the operational distance along with it too. On
the whole, lithium-ion batteries can experience
up to 500 full charge cycles, but through ageing
the capacity will sink in due course down to 85 -
65 %. Providing good maintenance is taken, then
a product life of about 3 – 5 years is possible. The
capacity will decrease slowly but steadily. The
range can be considerably reduced when driving
over rough terrain with high torque.

Even when the battery is low – i.e. no more pedal
assistance available – there is still sufficient ca-
pacity to provide the lights with around 2 hours
of power.
General operation
Gear changing
If you are not yet familiar with a gear change,
practice handling your new Pedelec, braking and
negotiating curves but do it away from public
roads.
Derailleur
First switch the chain to the centre pinion at the
rear. Switch between the front chain rings. Then
try the same in the reverse direction. This way
you will learn the functioning of the gear. Do not
ever change gear when the cycle is stationary or
during reverse pedalling. Select your gear trans-
mission ratio in front according to the terrain and
exercise additional control with the rear sprock-
et. The chain should not run crosswise, i.e., with
very steep inclination, because otherwise chain
and gear wheel will wear out fast.
Gear adjustment:
The gear must be adjusted regularly, depending
on the type of gear usage. Let your dealer do all
the gear settings.
Brakes
Your Pedelec is equipped with two independent
brakes. The right brake lever works on the front
wheel brake, and the left one on the rear wheel
brake. You can change this order by changing the
brake wires on the brake lever. Get this done by
your dealer.
Hand brakes
Check the smooth functioning of the brakes be-
fore each trip. Contact the dealer if you detect
slackening of the braking effect! The brake shoe
or shoes are labelled. Always use spare parts of
the same label.
V-brake
This brake is activated by pulling the brake lever
at the handle bar of your cycle. Two brake shoes
act on the rim edges. Due to its improved design,
the V-brake achieves excellent braking values
under dry and wet conditions, but holds certain
risks, especially for inexperienced cycle riders.
You can lose control over your cycle if you ap-
ply the brake in the wrong way. Practice apply-
ing this brake, particularly if you are a beginner.
Ride slowly at first and use the brake lever care-
fully to familiarize yourself with the response of
the brakes.
Please contact your dealer to learn how to adjust
the braking power and study the relevant instruc-
tion leaflet of the manufacturer.
Roller brake
This brake too is activated with the help of the
brake lever on the handle bar. The braking mech-
anism acts on the wheel hub and is well protect-
ed from bad weather. Please note that a large
frictional heat is generated, resulting in heat ac-
cumulation, if you apply the brake for a long time
(going downhill).
Do not touch the heated hub body. Cooling-
off time after prolonged braking when going
downhill is approximately 30 minutes.
Disk brake
This brake too is activated with the help of the
brake lever on the handle bar. The principle is
similar to that of the rim brake, the only difference
being that this brake sits on the hub. The brake
pads act on a brake disk.
Risk of fall and injury when applying the
brake suddenly in emergency situations!
