Dear customer,
Thank you for buying this ROTWILD eMTB. You
have chosen a high-quality product.
This instruction manual contains information
about the safe use and maintenance of your
ROTWILD eMTB. Please read the instruction
manual carefully before you go for your first ride,
so that you can find out about the risks
associated with the incorrect use of your eMTB.
In this instruction manual it is not possible to
describe in detail all the maintenance that your
ROTWILD eMTB needs. Therefore, you should also
refer to the enclosed instructions provided by our
component manufacturers and visit their
websites.
It is important that you care for and maintain
your ROTWILD eMTB correctly. This will help to
ensure that it runs without problems and
performs at its best. This manual cannot teach
you the skills you need to be a bike mechanic. In
addition, special tools are needed for some jobs.
Therefore, You should have maintenance and
repairs carried out by the ROTWILD authorised
dealer that supplied your bike. You will find the
contact details and company stamp of the
authorised dealer on the back page of this
original instruction manual.
If you are not able to contact this dealer, you will
find a list of other ROTWILD authorised dealers on
our website at www.rotwild.de.
ROTWILD is constantly developing and improving
its cycles and reserves the right to make changes
to the design, equipment and technology. For this
reason, you cannot make any legal claims on the
basis of the information, illustrations and
descriptions in this instruction manual.
The ROTWILD eMTB is supplied almost completely
pre-assembled. Nevertheless we recommend that
you check the bike’s functions before riding it.
Always wear suitable safety clothing, including a
helmet, gloves and glasses.
Before you ride the bike on public roads, you
should check the regulations that apply in your
country and ensure that your eMTB meets the
necessary requirements. You should also follow
the road traffic regulations and behave
considerately to avoid putting yourself and other
road users in danger.
The standard equipment required on bicycles in
other countries may differ from that in Germany.
In particular, the road traffic regulations may be
different.
Before you use your bike, find out about the
regulations that apply to cyclists and bikes on the
roads in your country.
When you use your ROTWILD eMTB off road, you
must comply with the law in your country. We
would also ask you to respect nature and the
environment.
We at ROTWILD hope that you enjoy riding your
new ROTWILD eMTB.

describe how to build a ROTWILD eMTB from parts
or how to turn a partially assembled eMTB into a
roadworthy bike.

General information

Product and type designation
This original instruction manual applies to the
following ROTWILD eMTBs:
RC750FS22 / RX750FSC22 / RX750FSP22 /
RX750FSU22 / RE750FSC22 / RE750FSP22 /
RT750HT22 / RT750FS22 RX375FS22/
RE375FS22/RG375FS22
The eMTB does not have a separate emergency
stop or shut-off button.
The bike can be shut down by removing the
battery or taking the connector out of the drive
system.
Power
The power is switched off as soon as the rider
stops pedalling. The eMTB can be stopped
mechanically using the brakes. The brake system
is not connected to the drive system.
When support mode is switched on, the drive
system responds to the smallest pressure on the
pedals.
When you get off the bike, you should apply the
brakes to prevent it from rolling away and to
reduce the risk of an accident.
Pushing aid mode
When the pushing aid mode is switched on, the
drive train will disconnect as soon as you release
the walk-assist button.
The drive system does not switch off when you
apply the brakes, which means that it is always
available.
Figure 2:Applying the brakes / pulling away
The eMTB must only be switched on if the rider is
ready to apply the brakes, in other words, if he or
she can reach at least one of the brakes.
Figure 3:ON/OFF switch (750)
Figure 4:ON/OFF switch (375)
The eMTB must be switched off as soon as the
rider is no longer able to apply the brakes.
