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 electric bike allows a lower seat position than on a conventional bike. With electric assistance you provide
less effort and you can sit down for improved safety. The required user (cyclist) height for optimal bicycle use
is between 1.50 and 1.85 m. Adjust your saddle height to the optimal sitting position as follows:
Loosen the quick release:
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.
Tighten the quick release.
The seat tube should not come out beyond the etched safety mark (vertical bars).

slakening of the brake cable.
Loosen the cable clamp and pull the cable until the pads are pushed against the rim. Tighten the cable clamp
(particular attention is to be made to each end of the sheath which is to enter without forcing into the housing
of each rigid end side brake lever and V-Brake).
The pads are properly adjusted when they are in equal distance from the rim. The final adjustment is done by
tightening the screws mounted on the support pads with a screwdriver (distance of about 0.1 to0.5 mm of the
rim).
Your setting is correct when the wheel turning freely, stops suddenly.

2.3.2 Rear V-type brake:
The rear brake is operated by the right handle on the handlebars.
AS with the front brake (Cf 2.3.1) fully tighten the nut on the brake lever, this feature will allow you
to later compensate the natural release of the brake cable.
Loosen the cable clamp (Cf: brake adjustment of pictures before) and pull the cable until the pads
are pushed against the rim.
Tighten the cable clamp (particular attention is to be made to each end of the sheath which is to enter without
forcing it into the housing of each rigid end side brake lever and V-Brake).
The pads are properly adjusted when they are in equal distance from the rim. The final adjustment is done by
tightening the screws mounted on the supports’pads with a screwdriver (distance of about 0.1 to0.5 mm of the
rim).
Warning! in the rain or on a wet surface, the braking distance increases.
2.4 Luggage rack:
Do not load your rack beyond the stipulated weight: 25 kg.
Any carrying device or other equipment installed by you on your rack (e.g., child seats, other equipment, etc.)
must be compatible with the robustness and build of the bike.
You must periodically check the tightness of the rack’s fastenings. This type of luggage carrier
is not designed to tow trailers.
Any alterations made to the rack by the user will at their own risk.
When the rack is loaded, changes in the behaviour of the bicycle must be taken into account (wind stability,
braking distances, changes in direction, etc.). For their safety, the user must be aware of these changes in
operation.
When installing a child seat or panniers, the user must perform a safety check (e.g., hanging straps that are in
danger of catching in the spokes and raise the risk of a fall; check the secureness of the fastenings on the child
seat, the potential trapping of the child's fingers under the saddle, etc.)
The reflector and the rear light must not be covered by the equipment or seat that has been fitted to the rack.
The load on the rack must be evenly distributed on both sides to ensure the stability of the equipment while
riding on public roads.

3 - USING THE E-BIKE
3.1 Indexed gearshift:
Your gearshift comprises a derailleur and 6 sprockets:
-1 pinion 14 teeth, for faster riding in flat and slightly downhill conditions
-3 intermediate gears 16, 18, 21 for use in a normal situation
-2 pinions 24, 28 teeth for for tough climbs and starts
The speed selector (indexed) is located near the right grip of the handlebar, activate it by turning the twist
grip.
3.2 The electronic shift:
Your bike is equipped with 6 levels of electronic assistance:
1Position 0 = No assistance.
2Position 1 et 2 = economic. In these positions, your e-bike will consume less energy, but the power
may not be enough to tackle an incline.
3Position 3 et 4 = medium assistance.
4Positions 5 = maximum power. On this position, your e-bike provides you with the most assistance
but also consumes the most energy.
To scroll through the assistance levels, press the + and - buttons.
The assistance selector is located on the left handle on the handlebar.

night mode (Light): A long press "+"turns on or off the backlight of the screen and the front and rear lights.
Switching from ODO info to TRIP info: One quick press on the “M”(MODE) button allows you to switch
between the two. ODO shows the total number of kilometres travelled since the bike was first used. TRIP
shows the number of kilometres travelled on your current journey.
Resetting the route information (km travelled, average speed, max speed): When TRIP mode is selected.
A long press on DOWN and MODE simultaneously resets the trip data.
Travel time: A short press of the "M" (MODE) button to select the data to display: TRIP / ODO / RANGE /
TIME / POWER. "Time" to display your current journey time.
3.4 The electric assistance:
3.4.1 operation:
Your bike is an electrically assisted cycle: it is equipped with an electric motor located in the rear wheel. This
motor starts automatically (if it is turned on and the battery is charged) when, and only when, you pedal.
(except with the walking assistance).
Power assistance is initiated by an electromagnetic detector, which cuts off the motor's power supply as soon
as you stop pedalling.
The motor also stops:
•When you activate one of the two brakes;
•When you have reached the speed limit of 25 km/h.
This principle enables the motor to give you its full power when you need it and to save battery power when
you are going downhill, or on flat ground.

Manuel PLIMOA
16
This type of energy management gives you a longer battery life per charge. These functions and the energy
management are carried out by an electronic control unit or “controller”.
Please note that the activation or deactivation of assistance may cause sudden acceleration or
deceleration.
3.4.2 performance:
The rate of assistance of your bike is limited to 25 km / h. At this speed the motor power supply is automatically
cut.
The autonomy of your bike depends on several parameters:
❖The carrying weight:
The expected performance of your bike is based on an average load of 75 kg.
❖The outside temperature
The expected performance of your bike is based on an outside temperature of roughly 20°C. Performance
decreases below this temperature, but 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 range 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 assistance system:
Motor type: Brushless - 250 watts
Battery: Lithium Ion Cell 36 V - 480Wh, 580Wh or 630Wh
Life cycle: 500 full charge / discharge cycles under normal charge conditions.
Battery Range: 70 to 80 km Battery 480Wh
80 100 km for the 580Wh battery
100 to 110 km for the battery 630Wh
(For a user to 75 kg at a rate of 18 km / h over a journey in Eco mode).

Manuel PLIMOA
17
3.4.4 Switching on of the battery:
Your ebike battery requires no ignition, and turns off automatically in case of prolonged use.
3.5 The electric motor:
Located in the hub of the rear wheel, is a 250-watt BRUSHLESS 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.
