1- SETTINGS / INSTALLATION
1.1 Saddle settings :
Allen key 6 mm
1.1.1 Adjusting the saddle:
Loosen the nut under the saddle
Adjust the angle of the saddle, in order to get the best for your comfort position. Tighten the nut (tightening
torque 25 Nm).
1.1.2 Saddle height:
The e-bike allows the saddle to be set lower than on a traditional bicycle. Thanks to the electric assistance,
you expend less effort and can therefore take a lower, more secure sitting position. For optimal use of the
bike, the height of the user (cyclist) should be between 1.65m and 1.90m. Therefore, you should adjust the
height of the saddle in the seated position by following these steps:
Release the quick-release seat clamp.
When sitting in the saddle and wearing specialist cycling shoes, place one pedal in its lowest position. Place
one heel on a pedal: your leg should be able to extend normally without becoming stiff. Raise or lower the
saddle to achieve the optimal saddle height. When pedalling, you should not have to swing your hips from
side to side.
Lock the quick release clamp.

THE SEAT POST MUST NOT BE PULLED OUT ABOVE THE ENGRAVED SAFETY MARK (VERTICAL BARS).
The minimum height between the upper surface of the saddle and the ground is 78 cm.
1.2 Handlebar adjustment:
Allen key 6 mm
To be comfortable, the position of your handlebars should be at least at the same height as your saddle, or
more depending on your comfort. Unscrew the Allen screw and set the desired height of your handlebar.
Be careful to tighten the quick hitch tie fully before using your bike.
To adjust the tilt, use an Allen wrench to loosen the 4 screws on the stem.
After adjusting, firmly re-tighten the screw, with tightening torque max: 19.6Nm.

must be compatible with the bicycle’s geometric characteristics and resistance.

YOU SHOULD OCCASIONALLY CHECK THAT YOUR CARRIER ARE SECURELY AFFIXED.
Any modifications made to the carrier by the user are made at the user’s own risk.
When the carrier are loaded, you should take into account potential changes to the bicycle’s handling
characteristics (stability in wind, braking distances, differences when changing direction…). For their safety,
the user should keep such changes to the bicycle’s handling characteristics in mind.
When loading soft luggage, the user must always carry out a safety check (e.g.: ensure no straps are hanging
down, no danger of items catching in spokes, no chance of falling).

2.4 Electric assistance:
2.4.1 Operation:
Your bicycle is an electric bicycle (e-bike): it is equipped with an electric motor, located in the rear wheel.
This motor activates automatically (if switched on and the battery is charged) when you pedal, and only when
you pedal.
The electric assistance is activated by an electromagnetic sensor, which cuts power to the motor when the
pedals stop turning.
The motor is also cut:
• When you pull either of the two brake levers;
• When you reach the upper speed limit of 20 or 25 km/h (depending on configuration).
This principle enables the motor to give you its full power when you need it, and to make “energy savings”
when you are riding downhill or riding on flat ground.
This energy control increases the e-bike’s battery life. These functions and energy control are achieved using
an electronic unit or “controller”.
WE WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE ACTIVATION OR DEACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRIC
ASSISTANCE MAY LEAD TO ABRUPT ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION.
2.4.2 Performance values:
The electric assistance on your bike is limited up to 25 km/h (according to configuration).
At this speed, the power supply to the motor will be automatically cut.
Your bicycle’s battery life depends on numerous parameters:
Weight transported:
Your bicycle’s performance values refer to an average load of 75 kg.
Exterior temperature:
The performance values refer to an exterior temperature of around 20°C. Below this temperature,
performance values decrease; however, this drop in performance is not particularly significant unless
temperatures fall below 5°C.
Battery wearing:
Your battery is designed to provide you with stable performance values over 750 charging cycles (or
an average service life of 3 years). After these 750 cycles, the battery will still be operational, but its
performance values will fall proportionally, and its battery life will decrease along with it.
But most of all, the battery’s run time depends on the terrain you ride on:
The theoretical battery life ranges from 30 to 50 kilometers, based on a near-continuous demand on
flat ground or with gentle inclines (10 to 20% of the total). If your route is flat and includes a portion
of declines (even gentle declines), your battery’s run life will increase. If you climb inclines steeper
than 5% (the motor “struggles” on inclines of above 8%), your battery life may decrease
proportionally.

2.4.3 Technical specifications of the assistance system:
Motor: Brushless type – 250 watts
Battery: Cellule Samsung or Panasonic lithium Ion 36 V – 9, 11 or 15.4 Ah – Life cycle: 750 full charge /
discharge cycles under normal load condition.
Autonomy: 50 km for 9 Ah battery
65 km for 11 Ah battery
90 km for 15.4 Ah battery
(For someone of 75Kg with the ECO assist level).
2.4.4 Switching on the battery :
The Switching ‘On’ and ‘Off’ is done by the switch switch on the left side of the battery container (1/0
position).
2.4.5 The electric motor:
Located in the hub of the rear wheel, the motor is an electric Brushless motor (250w).
The motor does not require any maintenance by the user, and also benefits from a two-year manufacturer’s
warranty. After three years or 25,000 kilometers, we recommend that you have the motor serviced by an
authorized dealer or a specialist.
Although the motor is designed to be water-resistant, it must never be washed with a high-pressure water jet.
This risks damaging the motor. This also invalidates the warranty.
