MINIMOTO™HYBRID
Introduction:
Congratulations of your purchase of the MINIMOTO™ HYBRID bicycle. The unique Hybrid mechanism
inside the drive train allows a “power assist” of the normal peddling of the bike. You can use it to
stretch out your coasting or even to help to make an incline easier to accomplish. The pedalling allows
you the freedom to go anywhere a bicycle can go without worrying if the batteries run down. The sys-
tem includes a quick charging system that will give the batteries up to 80% of their charge in as little
as 5 hours.
Please read the instructions in the booklet carefully and keep them in a safe place.
