2 -ADJUSTMENTS/ASSEMBLY:
Adapt the bike to your height
2.1 Adjusting the saddle:
6mm mm Allen key
2.1.1 Angle:
Loosen the nut under the saddle.
Adjust the angle of the saddle in order to find your most comfortable position. Tighten the nut, with a
maximum tightening torque of 13 Nm.
2.1.2 Height:
The power-assisted bicycle enables you to opt for a lower saddle position than on a classic bike. With power
assistance, you expend less effort and can be seated in a lower position for improved safety. The required user
(cyclist) height for optimal utilisation of the bike ranges from 1.60 to 1.90 m. Adjust your saddle height to the
optimal sitting position as follows:
Loosen the rapid release seat clamp.
Wearing suitable cycling shoes, sit on the saddle, place one of the pedals in the lowest position, rest one heel
on the pedal, and your leg should rest normally on the pedal without being stretched. Raise or lower the
saddle to get the correct height. While pedalling backwards, you should not have to move your hips from side
to side.
To calculate the height, you can also use the SH (Seat Height) formula = 0.885xIL (inside leg measurement). To measure
your inside leg, stand barefoot with your feet five centimetres apart. Without applying too much pressure, place a pole or
stick horizontally at groin height and then measure the height from the stick to the ground. This will give you the IL
(inside leg) measurement.

2.3 Hydraulic brake adjustment:
The Bricks is equipped with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. The maintenance of this system must be
carried out by a specialist. However, here are a few recommendations:
-Periodically check the condition of the lining on the brake pads. It is important to avoid leaving this
until the last minute as if the lining is faulty, the disc rubs against the metal of the pads which
damages them.
Here are 2 ways to monitor the wear and tear on your pads:
oBy sound: the braking sound will be more metallic when the lining is worn.
oBy sight: you can see the thickness of the lining when looking from the front of the calliper.
-Regularly check the condition of the discs to ensure they are clean and not too worn. Only use alcohol
or water to clean the discs.
-Completely avoid any contact with greasy substances on the disc and the pads. The pads must be
changed should this occur (they are porous and will absorb the greasy substance).
AS A GENERAL RULE,ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKING SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE CARRIED OUT
HAPHAZARDLY.WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONTACT A SPECIALIST SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT WHAT
TO DO.
2.4 Adjusting the derailleur:
2.4.1 Tension of the Derailleur cable:
The thumbwheel situated at the rear of the derailleur allows you to adjust the tension of the cable and thus
achieve good indexing (step-by-step gear shifting)
2.4.2 Adjusting the stops:
The 2 screws behind the derailleur are used to adjust the
internal (L) and external (H) stops. The derailleur should be able
to be placed on the outermost pinions without going any further.

2.5 Adjusting the suspension:
2.5.1 Air pressure and SAG*:
-Undo the valve cap: Screw a fork / shock-absorber pump onto the valve.
-Pump the suspension fork / shock absorber to the desired pressure. (see table below).
NEVER EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE.
-Sit on the bike in the normal position and check the “SAG”. Inflate or deflate as required. To evaluate the
“SAG” correctly, attach a cable clamp onto the stanchion. You can lean against a wall in order to sit on the
bike without moving and take the measurement.
* (negative spring) corresponds to the compression caused solely by the bodyweight and position of the cyclist.

2.5.2 Adjusting rebound damping:
With rebound damping, you can adjust the rebound speed of the fork after its compression.
You can distinguish between low and high-speed settings.
Low-speed rebound: Setting for slow speeds
High-speed rebound: Setting for high speeds
Turn the adjustment screw anticlockwise (less damping) to raise the extension rate (rebound) of your fork. To
reduce the extension rate (rebound), turn it in a clockwise direction (more rebound).
To calculate the ideal rebound speed, turn the adjusting screw as far as it will go (minimal extension). Place
the full weight of your body on the suspension fork and let it rebound sharply. Now progressively reduce the
rebound (faster extension) and repeat this procedure so that the suspension jumps almost when rebounding.
The faster the fork rebounds, the more traction it gives. A slower rebound gives the opposite effect.
FRONT REAR
ADJUST THE REBOUND ON THE FASTEST CONFIGURATION POSSIBLE WITHOUT MAKING THE FRONT WHEEL
BOUNCE.
ASETTING THAT IS TOO FAST MAY CAUSE THE FRONT WHEEL TO BOUNCE UNCONTROLLABLY AND RESULT IN A LOSS
OF TRACTION.
2.5.3 Quick-release system:
-Turn the quick-release lever 90° in a clockwise direction to lock the fork / shock absorber.
-Turn the lever in an anticlockwise direction to free the fork.

3 -USING THE E-BIKE:
3.1 Indexed gearshift:
Your gearshift is composed of a derailleur and 10 rear sprockets.
3 sprockets with 11, 13, and 15 teeth (large development), which allow you, in easy conditions (light
descent, flat), to increase your speed;
4 intermediate sprockets with 18, 21, 24, and 28 teeth to use under normal conditions;
3 sprockets (small development) with 32, 37, and 42 teeth for difficult hills and starts.
The (indexed) speed selectors are located on the handlebars.
3.2 Electronic gear shift:
You can find all information relating to the electronic gearshift in the enclosed Shimano STEPS
user manual.
3.3 Display and controls:
You can find all information relating to the display and controls in the enclosed Shimano STEPS
user manual.

3.4 Electrical assistance:
3.4.1 Operation:
Your bicycle is an electrically-assisted one: it is equipped with an electric motor, which is located in the
crankset casing. This motor starts automatically (if the ignition is on and the battery is charged) when and
only when you are pedalling.
The motor also stops as soon as you reach the speed limit of 25 km/h.
3.4.2 Performance:
The power-assisted speed of your e-bike is limited to 25 km/h.
At this speed the motor's power supply is automatically cut off.
The battery life per charge of your bike depends on several factors:
Weight transported:
The expected performance of your bike is based on an average load of 75 kg.
External temperature:
The expected performance of your bike is based on an external temperature of roughly 20°C.
Performance decreases below this temperature, but this is only really discernible below 5°C.
Battery wear:
Your battery is designed to deliver stable performance for 750 recharge cycles (or an average use of 3
years). The battery will still be operational after those 750 cycles but its performance and therefore
range per charge will decrease proportionally.
But the battery life per charge mainly depends on how you use the bike:
The theoretical battery life per charge is based on almost continuous use of the motor over flat or
slightly undulating ground (10 to 20% slopes). If your travel is on flat ground and includes a number
of descents (even if slight), your battery life is increased. If you are ascending inclines of more than
5% (the motor “struggles" above a grade of 8%), your battery life will diminish proportionally.
3.4.3 Technical specifications of the power-assistance system:
Motor: SHIMANO Steps E8000 – 250 watts – 70Nm
Battery: SHIMANO Lithium ion cell 46 V – 504 Wh
Battery life per charge: up to 80 km
(for a user weighing 75 kg at a speed of 18 km/h on a journey in Eco mode).

3.4.4 Starting up the battery:
You can find all information relating to starting up the battery in the enclosed Shimano STEPS
user manual.
3.5 The electric motor:
Located in the crankset is a 250-watt SHIMANO electric motor. It requires no maintenance on your part and
has the benefit of a two-year manufacturer's warranty. After 3 years or 25,000 kilometres, we advise you to
get it checked by an authorised dealer or specialist.
Although it is designed to resist water, we do not recommend cleaning it with a high-pressure jet.
For further details, please consult the enclosed Shimano STEPS motor manual.

5 -ADVICE FOR INCREASING BATTERY LIFE PER CHARGE:
Your BRICKS bicycle is equipped with a 504Wh battery that has a battery life per charge of up to 80 km.
In order to conserve your battery's energy and thus increase the range of your bike, we would like to offer
you a few tips.
•At start-up: set power assistance to position 1 and choose a medium development. If you course is
uphill, position the chain on the largest sprocket and use the 6 km/h position.
•In traffic jams: set power assistance to position 1 and your chain on small or medium development
according to the frequency of the stops you will have to make.
•Hill start: before you stop, set your chain to small development, and set the power assistance
according to the incline.
•Climbing a tougher hill: if you are climbing a hill and the speed reduces too much, you can opt for
more powerful assistance. You will then feel the power assistance increase. If this is insufficient, set
your chain on the small development (your energy consumption will be greater and your battery
range will be reduced).
•Route without stops: if your route has no obstacles (no traffic lights, traffic jams or rough roads),
you can set your bike to cruising speed. Pick your assistance level and set your chain to the large
development. This will allow you to go faster while saving energy.
•Descending: you stop pedalling (freewheeling) or you pedal normally but without effort while
adapting your speed selection and you let yourself move steadily.
•To prolong battery power: start up in position 1. Once your bike has started, set your chain to
the large development. Maintain a constant speed. Your battery charge will last longer.

6 -UPKEEP AND MAINTENANCE:
6.1 Upkeep:
To keep your bike in good working order, maintain it regularly:
-Replace the brake pads as soon as they become worn.
-Clean your bike regularly with a sponge and soapy water.
-Do not use detergent or petrol, or a high-pressure jet spray.
-Clean and lubricate the bearings every 6 months.
When you are cleaning your bike, take particular care:
-To clean, rinse, and dry the different parts of the bike, and wipe off any standing water to
avoid the risk of early corrosion.
6.2 Lubrication:
Lubricate lightly and regularly (about once a month):
-The chain
6.3 Maintenance:
Like any mechanical component, a bicycle is also subject to stress and wear. Different materials
and components may react differently to wear or erosion.
If the lifespan of a component has been exceeded, it may break suddenly, potentially causing injury to the
rider. Cracks, scratches, and discolouration in areas that are subjected to high stress indicate that the
component has exceeded its lifespan and should be replaced.
DO NOT USE LUBRICANTS ON THE SURFACE OF THE WHEEL RIMS OR ON THE TYRES,OR ON THE FRONT AND REAR
BRAKE SHOES.
CHECK THE CONDITION AND CORRECT FUNCTIONING OF THE SIGNALLING DEVICES (E.G., LED, ETC.),
CLEAN THEM IF NECESSARY WITH A DRY CLOTH.

BRICKS Manual
19
7 -SAFETY – RECOMMENDATIONS:
Regularly check the following points:
The tightness of the wheel nuts (25 Nm for the front, 25 NM for the rear).
Tyre wear (replace the tyre as soon as the wear indicator has been reached) and adjust the pressure to
between 20 and 45 psi (1.5 to 3 bars). Your bicycle’s tyres are compatible with the rim base, so no
modifications must be made to these. Only the appropriate spare parts (tyres, inner tubes, brake friction
elements, etc.) are to be used. Contact your dealer for more information.
Check the tightness of the handlebars (5 Nm), pedals (20 Nm), and saddle (6 Nm).
Because of its weight and motor inertia, allow ample distance for braking your e-bike, especially in wet
weather.
On public roads, everybody who rides a bike must respect and apply the provisions of the highway code of the
country they are in as well as the legal requirements for this type of transport. (e.g., lights, signalling, wearing
a helmet (recommended), reflective devices, etc.).
Wear a properly adjusted helmet that conforms to CE standards.
For the safe use of your bike, we recommend periodically checking and inspecting: the brakes (wear of the
pads), the condition of the wheel rims and spokes (wear of the wheel rims and spokes), the condition of the
tyres, the steering (fastenings, tightness of the wheel nuts) and all other parts specific to your vehicle. The
wheel rims must be smooth, without any cracks, breakage, or deformities. If you notice any anomaly with the
wheel rims, please get them checked immediately.
WARNING! Like any mechanical component, a bicycle is also subject to high levels of stress and wear.
Different materials and components may react differently to wear or erosion. If the predicted lifespan of a
component has been exceeded, it may break suddenly, potentially causing injury to the rider. Cracks,
scratches, and discolouration in areas that are subjected to high stress indicate that the component has
exceeded its lifespan and should be replaced.
For your safety, it is equally important to replace any critical components that are showing signs of wear or
any other problem (e.g., tyres, wheel rims, etc.) with genuine parts. Contact your dealer.
Stay alert; do not spend too much time looking at the bike’s display while you are driving.
For your safety, it is recommended to routinely have the bike lights on.
Wearing a high-visibility vest is mandatory when riding in rural areas, in traffic at night, or on days when the
visibility is poor.
