I.II The Pedelec Groove Next
Your Pedelec Groove Next is an electrically power assisted cycle (EPAC).
When the assistance mode is switched on, the electric drive provides
assistance as long as you are pedalling. You can control the degree
of assistance which is adjusted using various assistance modes
5.3.4 Display of the assistance mode Page EN-31. The drive assistance is
dependent on the force and speed of your pedalling and the speed you are
travelling. Drive assistance stops as soon as you stop pedalling and when
the battery is discharged or if you reach a speed of
25km/h.Thuspedallingharderisrequiredifyouwanttotravelfaster

"help" when the rider is actively pedalling.
» The average drive output must not exceed 250 W.
» The drive output must continue to fall as the speed of the bike
continues to increase.
» The drive must cut out automatically at 25 km/h.
Foryouthismeans:
» There is no obligation to wear a helmet.

VI. Pedelec weight*
Pedelecs are heavier than normal bicycles. The exact weight
dependsontheequipmenttted.Ifyouwanttoknowthe
precise weight of your Pedelec, we recommend having
it weighed by a specialist dealer. Most dealers have a
professional and accurate cycle weigher.
VI.I Overall weight
DANGER
Do not exceed the permitted overall weight of the Pedelec as this can
result in fracturing or failing of important safety parts (such as the
brakes). If this happens while you are riding the bike, it can lead to
severefalls–withfatalconsequences.
Overall weight = Weight of the bike + weight of the rider + weight of
the trailer bike or trailer + weight of luggage and/or child

DANGER
Check that the brakes work and that the handlebars can move freely
before every ride. Do not use the bike if it is not in perfect technical
condition. If you are unsure, ask your cycle dealer to check it over.
Inspect your Pedelec before every trip and after each time it has
been transported anywhere or left unattended 4. Before every
trip Page EN-28. Components might fail if wear and damage are not
detected early enough. If this happens whilst you are cycling, you
could injure yourself very seriously or even die. The additional power
means higher loads are applied to wearing parts on a Pedelec than
on a normal cycle. Replace any worn, damaged or bent components
before using the bike again.
Do not exceed the overall weight permitted for the Pedelec
because parts important for safety might fracture or fail VI.I Overall
weight Page EN-10. If this happens while you are riding the bike,
severefallsmightresult–withfatalconsequences.
Contact your cycle dealer when wearing parts and other components
need to be replaced. We recommend asking your cycle dealer to as-
semble and adjust the bike.
Otherwise, components could become loose due to a faulty assembly.
If this happens whilst you are cycling, you could injure yourself very
seriously or even die. If you do have to tighten something, you will

10. Torque settings Page EN-55 which must be strictly followed.
1. General safety information
Comply with the safety and user instructions at the start of the following
sections.
DANGER
We discourage allowing children under the age of 14 years to ride
Pedelecs. They may not be able to cope with the speed. Serious
accidents and falls might result.
Wear a cycle helmet. While there is no legal obligation to wear one,
you should always wear a suitable cycle helmet for your own safety. A
cycle helmet can protect you from severe injuries. Make sure that the
helmettsproperly.
Keep your hands and other body parts and clothing away from moving
parts, otherwise you can become ensnared, have a serious fall and
injure yourself.
Adaptyourridingstyletotheprevailingtracconditions,otherwise

accident. Take into consideration that longer braking distances
needed on wet or icy roads. Think ahead anticipating the actions
of other road users and reduce your speed. Avoid sudden jerky
movements of the handlebars and braking actions. Dismount if you
ever feel unsafe.
Only use the bicycle for its intended purpose
V. Intended use Page EN-10. Otherwise component failure may result.
If this happens whilst you are cycling, you could injure yourself very
seriously or even die.
Original User Guide | Pedelec Groove Next EN-13
CAUTION
Do not open up the drive, battery, control element or charger as you
could injure yourself. Parts might also be damaged beyond repair
invalidating the warranty. Contact your cycle dealer when problems
arise.
PLEASE NOTE
Always park your Pedelec so that it cannot tip over. Components can
be damaged if the bike tips over.
Do not clean the Pedelec with a water hose or high pressure washer.
Although the components are sealed, damage to the cycle may still
result. Clean the Pedelec with a soft, damp cloth.
DANGER
Only use original replacement parts. Replacement parts from other
manufacturers can impair the function of your Pedelec. Serious acci-
dents can result.
Ask your cycle dealer to explain and show you how to use the special
features of the components. Please also follow the component
guides. We recommend asking your cycle dealer to assemble and
adjust the bike. Otherwise, components could become loose due
to a faulty assembly. If this happens whilst you are cycling, you
could injure yourself very seriously or even die. If you do have to

requirement).
WARNING
Do not ride in unfavourable lighting conditions (fog, rain, dusk,
darkness) without adequate lights IV.II.I Lights Page EN-8.Failure
to do so can result in accidents and serious injuries.
Always remove the battery before starting to work on the Pedelec.
The Pedelec could switch on unexpectedly and you could be seriously
injured.
EN-14 Original User Guide | Pedelec Groove Next
AttachyourPedelectoaxedobject(suchasatree,street
lamp or fence), so that it cannot be carried away.
Use a high-quality bike lock. Invest about 10 % of the
purchase price of the bike in locks. Your cycle dealer will be
abletotasuitableframelockifyourbikedoesnotalready
have one. You can also use other types of bike lock. Ask
your cycle dealer for advice.
Make a note of the important details of your Pedelec (e.g.
in the service book II.III Service book Page EN-6, bike
passport) and get it registered with the police. This makes it
easier to describe and identify if stolen.
Have the police code for your Pedelec; the address and
initials of the owner are engraved on the frame in an
encrypted form. Coding makes the illegal resale of a bike
moredicultanddetersthieves.Acodedbikealsomakesit
easier to identify the owner.
Bicycle theft is often covered by household contents
insurance. Check the terms of your insurance policy as soon
as possible.
2. Protection from theft, manipulation and loss
DANGER
Protect your Pedelec from unauthorised access. Serious injury may
result if third parties modify components (e.g. the brakes) without
your knowledge. Inspect your Pedelec before every trip, and after
each time it has been transported anywhere or left unattended
4. Before every trip Page EN-28.If your bike is damaged, only ride
itagainoncethedamagehasbeenrectied.Yourbikewillnotbe
replaced under warranty if lost or stolen.
The following measures can help you to protect your Pedelec from theft
and manipulation and to recover it if it has been stolen:
Always lock the bike and battery even if you leave it for
a short while. Ideally, the lock(s) should block the wheel
powered by the drive. Do not leave the key in. To be on the
safe side, you can also remove the battery. A Pedelec must
also be secured with a lock when parked outside residential
areas (e.g. in a shed or basement).
Do not park your Pedelec in deserted locations –
especially for long periods. If possible, park your Pedelec
in private or communal garages or individual bike lockers
which have surveillance.

3.2 Adjusting the saddle height
Determining the correct saddle height
1. Sit on the Pedelec and at the same time lean against a
wall.
2. Turn the foot pedal on the opposite side to the wall to
its lowest point.
3. Place your heel on the pedal.
Your leg should be fully
extended.
4. If your leg is not fully
extended when your heel is on
the pedal, raise the saddle.
Lower the saddle if you cannot
reach the pedal.
WARNING
Seatpost marking
The seatpost is marked to indicate how far you
may pull it out from the frame. Never pull the
seatpost further out than the marking. This could
cause it to bend or break, and cause you to fall.

1. To alter the tilt of the saddle, loosen the front saddle clamping bolt
(M6) by turning it anticlockwise using a 5 mm Allen key. Turn the
saddle clamping bolt completely two to three times at most, otherwise
the whole mechanism could fall apart.
2. Tilt the bicycle saddle to the desired angle.
3. Tighten the front saddle clamping bolt again by the same number of
turns.
4. Ensure that the newly-tightened saddle does not tip; test it by pressing
down on the front and back alternately.
