Enable
Press the ‘ON/OFF’ button for 2 seconds to turn on the system.
Setting the pedal assistance
Use the plus and minus buttons to select between the 3 excitation programs (0 to 3).
The 3rd position gives the strongest excitation. In position “0” the motor provides no
power. Please note that the battery drains faster when using strong power assistance than
when using lighter power assistance.
‘Walk assist’ function
Use the Walk-assist feature to easily carry the bike by hand. Stand rmly next to the bike and
keep your hands on the handlebars. Press and hold the ‘-’ button while holding the handlebars
rmly. After a few seconds, the motor will turn on. As soon as you release the ‘-’ button, the
‘Walk-assist’ function turns itself off.The Walk-assist has a speed of 6 km/h.
CAUTION! Only use the Walkassist function when you are standing rmly beside the
bike and there is a (slightly) sloping surface. Keep at least one hand on the brake.

Press the ON/OFF button briey to view your total miles traveled.
Long press on the ‘+’button = turn on lights
Disable
Press and hold the ‘ON/OFF’ button for 2 seconds to turn off the system.
2. Bike range and battery
capacity
How long is the range of my electric bike?
The total distance you can ride with your Prestige e-bike without recharging is called the ran-
ge.To properly assess this, leave the bike/battery on the charger overnight.The range should
be measured during one ride and not spread over several days. Batteries discharge slowly,
even when the bike is not being used.When the battery is in the bike, it discharges faster than
when it is removed from the bike and left inside.

6
Factors
Inuencing factors action radius:
• The total weight (weight of bike + rider + load)
• The resistance (wind force, tire pressure, acceleration, road surface condition and
height differences)
The pedal power level:
• Your driving behavior (timely up- and downshift and the speed driven)
• The outdoor temperature
• Age of battery (Battery capacity decreases as battery ages)
1. DISCONNECTING AND REMOVING THE
BATTERY
Disconnecting and removing the battery
On the left front of the pack carrier is the battery lock.This allows you to lock the battery to
the bike or disconnect it from the bike.
To unlock the lock: Insert the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise.
Use the handle on the back to pull the battery out from under the rack.
CAUTION! Remove the key after putting back the battery, in connection with possi
ble loss and/or theft of the key and battery.
2. BATTERY CHARGING AND MORE
INFO
Battery charging
With the included charger you can charge the battery.You can charge the battery pack
either on the bike or separately from the bike. Place the charger in the left rear corner of the
battery pack.The initial charging time for the Prestige battery is approximately 7 hours. During
charging, a red light will light up.When the battery is fully charged the light will be green.
CAUTION! Disconnect the charger when the battery is charged.
This will prevent the battery life from being shortened.
CAUTION! If the battery is not used for a long time, it may suffer irreparable damage.
Be sure to charge the battery every 3 weeks for half an hour.
CAUTION! If the bike is not used for a long time, we recommend removing the
battery from the bike.
CAUTION! Use your battery charger only in dry, well-ventilated areas.
CAUTION! The battery charger is not resistant to moisture and/or drop shocks.

7
CAUTION! When the battery is completely empty, charge it immediately. If cells are
left empty for a long time, they may be damaged beyond repair.
What else you should know about your battery.
Try to ride your electric bicycle as much as possible, if you don’t use it enough the battery could
discharge and break down. Also try to ride it 2 months a year in the winter months.
The battery is splashproof and therefore resistant to rain.You can therefore use your bike in bad
weather.
However, do not expose the battery to large amounts of water.
The performance of your battery will decrease at low temperatures.
Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (> 50 °C), such as heating, direct sunlight and
re. Do not disassemble the battery. Consult the dealer in case of problems.
For long-term storage, place the battery in a shady, cool and dry place.
Use only the supplied charger.
1. pedal assistance
What is pedal assistance?
The bike is equipped with electric pedal assistance.The motor supplements your own efforts,
increasing your performance while providing less power.
The effect of the pedal assistance depends on the speed at which the pedals are turned and the
pedal assistance function depends on the speed at which the pedals are rotated and on the speed
of the bicycle. If there is no pedaling, the motor does nothing. If you start up, the motor provides
a lot of support so you can easily get going.
be helped to get going.
Switching pedal assistance on and off
As soon as you turn on the control panel, the pedal assistance is switched on in the ‘0’ position.
With the + and - button, you can increase or decrease the degree of pedal assistance.You can
turn the pedal assistance off by using the ‘- button’ on the control panel to set the assistance to
the ‘0’ position. Please note that heavy pedal assistance drains the battery faster than light pedal
assistance.
CAUTION! Tire pressure, user mass, environment, and cycling behavior can also have a
major impact on range.
What else you should know about pedal assistance
Because of the powerful support, you will easily reach higher speeds than you are used to.

Try the bike in a low-trafc area rst to get used to your new bike.
Getting on the bike, when the pedal assistance is turned on, is different than on a normal bike.
You will ride off more easily. Do not be surprised by the assistance and familiarize yourself with
the assistance before you get into heavy trafc. We recommend that you use pedal assistance
program 1 when cycling away from standstill.
When the pedal assistance is off, the bike will cycle with extremely little resistance.
This means that the bike can also be used without the battery as a normal bike.
The pedal assistance is dependent on the speed at which the pedals are rotated and the
speed of the bicycle.The pedal assistance is limited by law to a speed of 25 km/hour.This
means that if you approach a speed of 25 km/h, the pedal assistance will gradually decrease to
zero.
The range of the bicycle depends on the circumstances.
The given values are measured under average circumstances.The most important factors are:
weight of the rider, riding speed, slopes in the course, tire pressure, headwind, a lot of accele-
rating and braking (city) and the outside temperature. At very low temperatures the range is
strongly inuenced negatively. Take this into account.
CAUTION! When starting off, remember that the pedal assistance will enhance your
effort. Do not dismount too enthusiastically.
CAUTION! Turn off the power assistance when getting off the bike. Never walk with
enabled excitation.
CAUTION! Keep both brakes applied when standing still with set
BRAKE
1. Tire Pressure
Tire pressure affects the range and comfort of your bicycle.
It is advisable to always inate your tires hard. Hard means that you should be able to
(4 to 5bar) On the side of all tires you can nd the maximum tire pressure.
This tire pressure is expressed in Bar. When inating your tire we advise you to use a bicycle
pump that is equipped with a tire pressure gauge.

1. Shifting gears
The bike is equipped with derailleur gears.You can operate the gears by turning the inside of
the right handlebar while cycling. Do not shift more than one gear at the same time.
Using your gears:
Derailleur gear: Do not change gears while standing still, and denitely do not pedal
backwards while changing gears.
2. Checking your bike and tips
Prestige Bicycles recommends that you have your bicycle checked regularly by your dealer.
It is advisable to have the rst service performed within 3 months and the second after 1 year.
1 year. Remember that by checking your bike regularly, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary
damage in the long run and therefore also a lot of unnecessary costs!
Of course you can also contribute to keeping your bike in top condition for as long as
possible.The following paragraphs provide some tips.
General maintenance
1 Check tire pressure and tread
2 Check the wear of the brakes, occasionally adjusting the ne adjustment
3 Clean pedal sensor with sponge and lukewarm water in case of severe dirt
4 Lubricate the chain
5 If a wheel strikes, have it repaired immediately by the dealer.
3. Cleaning and treatment
Cleaning of your bicycle
You can clean your bike by rst removing the dirt with a brush and then washing it with warm
water.This will make your bike look like new again. Regular cleaning of the bicycle will incre-
ase its service life. Be careful not to use too much water near the battery. Make sure that no
dirt gets into the sensor plate (near the bottom bracket).When cleaning the bike, it is best to
remove the battery. Never use a high-pressure cleaner!

Treatment
In addition to regular cleaning, it is wise to treat certain parts immediately after cleaning. For
example, we recommend greasing chromed parts, unpainted aluminum and stainless steel
parts with acid-free petroleum jelly to prevent oxidation (rust). Rotating parts need grease/
oil. It is recommended that the chain, It is recommended to lubricate the chain, sprockets and
axles regularly.Your dealer can do this for you.
