referred to as pedelecs. For the different EPAC types, see the chapter “Intended
use of your SCOTT bike”.

SAFETY AND BEHAVIOUR
Dear SCOTT customer,
Congratulations on your purchase of a new SCOTT bike. We are confident that
the bike will exceed your expectations for quality, functioning and riding char-
acteristics. Our SCOTT frames and components are customized and adjusted to
suit the needs of the users to enhance your joy when riding on your new SCOTT
bike – whether you are a beginner or a non-professional road racer or not!
To ensure that you ride safely and with joy, we strongly encourage you to take
the time to read the translation of these original SCOTT operating instructions
thoroughly.
If you have purchased a SCOTT bike for your child (a), make sure he/she un-
derstands the information contained in this manual and can handle the new
SCOTT bike accordingly. Observe the chapter “SCOTT kids’ bikes” before your
child sets off for the first time. There are special traffic regulations for children
in some countries. Read the aforementioned chapter before your child uses the
bicycle for the first time.
In purchasing this SCOTT bike you have chosen a product of high quality and
technology. Each component of your new SCOTT bike has been designed,
manufactured and assembled with great care and expertise. Your SCOTT dealer
gave the bike its final assembly and made a functional check. This guarantees
you pleasure and a sense of confidence from the very first turn of the pedals
(b-d).
The translation of these original SCOTT operating instructions contains a wealth
of useful facts on the proper use of your SCOTT bike, its maintenance and op-
eration as well as interesting information on bike design and engineering. Read
the translation of these original SCOTT operating instructions thoroughly. We
are sure that even if you have been cycling for many years you will find it worth-
while. Bike technology has developed at a rapid pace during recent years (e+f).
NOTE!
U
This symbol provides you with information about how to handle your
SCOTT pedelec or refers to a passage in the translation of these original
SCOTT operating instructions that deserves your special attention. Also observe
in any case the general warning information given in the translation of these
original operating instructions.
The described possible consequences will not be repeated in this translation
of the original SCOTT operating instructions every time one of the symbols
appears.
The present translation of the original SCOTT operating instructions together
with this SCOTT info CD complies with the requirements of the EN ISO stand-
ards 4210-2 for city and trekking and young adult bicycles, the EN ISO standard
8098 for bicycles for young children as well as EN 15194 for pedelecs.
It is essential to also observe the manuals of the component manufacturers and

Before you set off, let us point out a few things to you that are very important to
every cyclist: Never ride without a properly adjusted helmet and without glasses
(c). Make sure to wear suitable, bright clothing. As a minimum you should wear
straight cut trousers and or leg bands and shoes fitting the pedal system (d).
Always ride carefully on public roads and observe the traffic rules so as not to
endanger yourself or others.
This manual cannot teach you how to ride. Be aware that cycling is a potentially
dangerous activity that requires the rider to stay in control of his or her SCOTT
bike at all times. When setting off on a SCOTT pedelec, keep in mind that the
drive boosts your cycling speed. If necessary, attend a beginners course for
cyclists or pedelec riders, as already offered here and there.
Like any sport, cycling involves the risk of injury and damage. By choosing to
ride a bike, you assume the responsibility for the risk. Note that on a bike you
have no protection technique around you like you have in a car (e.g. bodywork,
ABS, airbag). Therefore, always ride carefully and respect the other traffic par-
ticipants.
Never ride under the influence of drugs, medication, alcohol or when you are
tired. Do not ride with a second person on your SCOTT bike and never ride with-
out having both hands on the handlebars.
Observe the legal regulations concerning off-road cycling and public roads.
These regulations may differ in each country.
Respect nature when riding through the forest and in the open countryside.
Only use your bike on signposted, well maintained trails and hard-surface roads
(e).
Always bear in mind that you travel rapidly and quietly when you are riding
a SCOTT pedelec. Do not startle pedestrians or other cyclists. Always make
others aware of your presence well ahead of time and by ringing your bell (f) or
make use of the brakes so as to avoid accidents. Familiarize yourself with your
SCOTT pedelec.
Therefore, before setting off on your new SCOTT bike, you should read at least
the chapter “Tests before your first ride”. To ensure as much fun and safety as
possible during cycling, be sure to carry out the functional check described in
the chapter “Tests before every ride” before setting off on your SCOTT bike.
Even a manual as detailed as an encyclopaedia could not describe every pos-
sible combination of available bicycle models and components. The translation
of these original SCOTT operating instructions therefore focuses on your newly
purchased SCOTT bike or SCOTT pedelec and standard components and pro-
vides useful information and warnings for the handling of your new SCOTT bike.
When doing any adjusting and servicing (a), be aware that the detailed instruc-
tions provided in your manual only refer to this SCOTT bike.
The information included here is not applicable to any other bicycle type. As
bicycles come in a wide variety of designs with frequent model changes, the
routines described may require complementary information. It is essential to
also observe the manuals of the component manufacturers and the system
instructions of your drive manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
Be aware that these instructions may require further explanation, depending on
the experience and/or skills of the person doing the work. For some jobs you
may require additional (special) tools (b) or supplementary instructions. This
manual cannot teach you the skills of a bicycle mechanic.
NOTE!

INTENDED USE OF YOUR SCOTT BIKE
Your SCOTT bike was designed by our engineers for a specific use. Be sure to
use your SCOTT bike only according to its intended use, as it may otherwise not
withstand the stress and could fail and cause an accident with unforeseeable
consequences! Any use contrary to the intended purpose will render the war-
ranty null and void.
NOTE!
I
Inform yourself at www.scott-sports.com to which category your new
SCOTT bike belongs.
There is no bicycle type which is suitable for all purposes. Your SCOTT dealer
will be pleased to help you finding the right SCOTT bike for your needs. He will
also explain you the limits of the different types of bicycle.
Category 2: SCOTT city, trekking and urban bikes, SCOTT kids’ bikes
and SCOTT cyclo-cross bikes
Due to their design and fittings, SCOTT city (c), trekking (d) and urban bikes
(e), SCOTT kids’ bikes (f) and SCOTT cyclo-cross bikes are not always suit-
able for being used on public roads. If you want to use them on public roads,
these bikes must be fitted with the prescribed equipment. Observe the traffic
rules when riding on public roads. For more information see the chapter “Legal
requirements for riding on public roads“.
Category 2.1: SCOTT city, trekking and urban bikes
SCOTT city, trekking and urban bikes are designed for riding exclusively on
hard-surface terrain, i.e. on tarred roads and bicycle lanes or gravel field tracks.
The tyres must remain in constant contact with the ground.
These bicycles are not suitable for off-road, cyclo-cross or mountain bike use or
jumps and competitive use of any kind whatsoever.
The SCOTT bikes Trekking and City/Streets belong to this category.
For more information in this regard, read the chapters “Riding a SCOTT
pedelec” and “Useful facts for riding a SCOTT speed pedelec“.
First, we would like to familiarize you with the various components of your
SCOTT bike. Unfold the cover of the translation of these original SCOTT operat-
ing instructions. There you will find a SCOTT city/trekking bike (a) and a SCOTT
pedelec (b) showing all the essential components. Leave the page unfolded as
you read so that you can easily locate the components as they are referred to in
the text.
DANGER!
G
For your own safety, never do any work or adjusting when servicing your
bike unless you feel absolutely sure about it. If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!

g
SCOTT kids’ bikes which look like a BMX bike must be used in accordance
with the intended use for bikes of the category 2.2.
DANGER!
G
SCOTT bikes of the category 2.2 are not suitable for off-road use, jumps,
slides, stair riding, stoppies, wheelies, tricks etc.!
NOTE!
i
Inform yourself at www.scott-sports.com to which category your new
SCOTT bike belongs.
Pedelecs
Pedelecs (pedal electric cycles) or EPACs (Electrically Power Assisted Cycles)
are bicycles with an auxiliary motor that only switches on when you move the
pedals. When you stop pedalling, the motor switches off.
A driving licence is not required for riding a SCOTT pedelec (d), if the motor
assistance switches off automatically at a speed of 25 kmh. You do not need an
operating licence and need not insure the pedelec either.
All regulations that apply to SCOTT bikes, also apply to SCOTT pedelecs, i.e.
using cycle paths is not compulsory. Wearing a helmet is recommended (e), but
not compulsory.
Make sure you do not confuse your SCOTT pedelec with a “SCOTT speed
pedelec” (see “Speed pedelecs”).
Most SCOTT pedelecs are designed for cycling exclusively on lanes and roads
with a smooth surface. Only use trails that are allowed for bicycles. Using SCOTT
trekking pedelecs off-road can result in crashes with unforeseeable conse-
quences! Using SCOTT trekking pedelecs off-road is not permitted. For off-road
use only SCOTT off-road pedelecs are suitable.
Some SCOTT pedelecs have a pushing aid (f) which provides assistance during
pushing, even without pedalling, up to a speed of 6 kmh.
Your SCOTT pedelec is designed for a maximum overall weight, including rider,
luggage and SCOTT pedelec. The permissible overall weight is 130 kg / 286 lbs.
The permissible overall weight (rider incl. luggage and bicycle) should not
exceed 120 kg / 265 lbs. Under certain circumstances this permissible overall
weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommenda-
tions for use.
DANGER!
g
For SCOTT city, trekking and urban bikes, trailers (a) and child carriers (b)
are not permitted. Note that SCOTT will not assume liability or guarantee
for the use of these trailers and child carriers because of the wide variation in
fixation systems, the technical details of these systems and any associated prob-
lem with these fixation systems.
The use of pannier racks is permitted on SCOTT city, trekking and urban bikes,
if the rear stays and the drop-outs of your SCOTT bike have fastening devices
for pannier racks. In this case mounting a suitable pannier rack is permitted.
Contact your SCOTT dealer before mounting.
DANGER!
G
SCOTT bikes of the category 2.1 are not suitable for off-road use, jumps,
slides, stair riding, stoppies, wheelies, tricks etc.!
Category 2.2: SCOTT kids’ bikes
SCOTT kids’ bikes (c) are designed for riding exclusively on tarred roads and
bicycle lanes or gravel field tracks. The tyres must not lose ground contact.
These bicycles are not suitable for off-road and competitive use of any kind
whatsoever.
SCOTT bikes Junior belong to this category.
The permissible overall weight (child incl. luggage and bicycle) must not
exceed 50 kg / 110 lbs. Children should not ride near precipices, staircases or
swimming pools as well as on paths used by automotive mobiles. SCOTT kids’
bikes are suitable for mounting training wheels. For SCOTT kids’ bikes trailers,
child carriers and pannier racks are not permitted.

ORIGINAL SCOTT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2016 | TREKKING-PEDELEC
ENGLISH
Most of the SCOTT speed pedelecs are designed for cycling exclusively on lanes
and roads with a smooth surface (c). Only use trails that are allowed for speed
pedelecs / e-bikes. Typical SCOTT speed pedelecs are generally not suitable for
off-road use. Using SCOTT speed pedelecs off-road can result in crashes with
unforeseeable consequences.
Your SCOTT speed pedelec is designed for a maximum overall weight, including
rider, luggage and SCOTT speed pedelec. The overall weight is 130 kg / 286 lbs.
DANGER!
G
Be sure to use your SCOTT bike only for its intended purpose, as it may
otherwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
H
Do not modify your SCOTT pedelec or SCOTT speed pedelec; this applies
in particular to the performance or the possibly assisted speed! A modified
pedelec or speed pedelec must no longer be used on public roads.
DANGER!
H
Note that there are different types of pedelecs and e-bikes (d+e) which are
subject to different legal framework conditions. Check the class of your
SCOTT pedelec or SCOTT e-bike in the SCOTT bike card (f). Keep the specific
regulations in mind when riding on public roads and through the landscape.
NOTE!
U
The regulations and rules for pedelecs and speed pedelecs are being re-
vised constantly. Read the daily press to keep you informed about current
legislative changes.
DANGER!
g
For your own safety, do not overestimate your riding skills. Note that
though looking easy the tricks of a professional are hazardous to your life
and limb. Always protect yourself with suitable clothing.
Speed pedelecs
Speed pedelecs are bicycles with an auxiliary motor (a) which provides assis-
tance to the rider even beyond a speed of 25 kmh, as long as you continue ped-
alling. The pedal-assist stops at a speed of 45 kmh. Without pedalling a SCOTT
speed pedelec provides assistance to a maximum speed of 20 kmh.
SCOTT speed pedelecs are regarded as motor vehicles, have an operating
licence or EU type approval and are therefore subject to strict regulations relat-
ing to the replacement of components and to changes. Modifications without
approval/type approval result in an expiration of the operating licence, i.e. the
SCOTT pedelec must no longer be used on public roads.
Check in the country where you use your SCOTT speed pedelec whether you
require a moped licence or a driving licence for motor vehicles.
You can obtain a moped licence if you are aged 15 or over. Inform yourself at
your driving licence agency.
Inform yourself in the country where you use your SCOTT speed pedelec about
the regulations on the use of speed pedelecs on cycle lanes in built-up areas, on
lanes which are marked with a road sign allowing access for mopeds, on cycling
one-way streets in the opposite direction, even when they are allowed to bikes
and on the use of roads which are closed for motor vehicles, motor cycles and
mopeds.
Inform yourself in the country where you use your SCOTT speed pedelec
whether wearing a helmet (b) is compulsory. A standard cycling helmet will do.
Also read the chapter “Useful facts for riding a SCOTT speed pedelec”.

2. Are you familiar with the brake system (b+c)? Have a look at the SCOTT bike
card and check whether the brake lever of the front brake is on the side you
are used to (right or left). If it is not, ask your SCOTT dealer to switch the
brake levers before you set off for the first time.
Your new bike is equipped with modern brakes which may be far more pow-
erful than those you were used to so far. Be sure to first practise using the
brakes on a level, non-slip surface off public roads! Slowly approach higher
brake performances and speeds.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
3. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears (d)? Ask your
SCOTT dealer to explain you the gear system and make yourself familiar with
your new gears in an area free of traffic, if necessary.
For more information see the chapter “Gears” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
4. Are saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to
a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with
your heel. The hips should remain horizontal. Check whether your toes reach
to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle (e) (exception: full suspension
SCOTT bikes). Your SCOTT dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not
happy with your seating position.
For more information see the chapter “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider”.
5. If your SCOTT bike is equipped with clipless or step-in pedals (f): Have you
ever tried cycling with the respective cycling shoes? First practise locking
one shoe onto a pedal and disengaging it while standing on the other leg.
Ask your SCOTT dealer to explain you the pedals and to adjust them to your
needs.
For more information see the chapter “Pedals and shoes” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
NOTE!
U
It is essential to also observe the system instructions of your drive manu-
facturer as well as the manuals of the component manufacturers on this
SCOTT info CD.
NOTE!
U
For more information about the intended use of your SCOTT pedelec or
SCOTT speed pedelec as well as the permitted overall weight (rider, SCOTT
pedelec and luggage) see the SCOTT bike card and the chapter “Intended use
of your SCOTT bike”.
NOTE!
U
You find information on the question whether the use of trailers, pannier
racks and child carriers is permitted on your SCOTT pedelec or not in the
SCOTT bike card and in the chapter “Intended use of your SCOTT bike”.
NOTE!
U
Keep the translation of these original SCOTT operating instructions for fu-
ture reference and hand it over to the respective user, in case you sell, lend
or pass on your SCOTT pedelec or SCOTT speed pedelec otherwise.
TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
1. If you want to use your bike on public roads, it has to comply with legal
requirements. These requirements may vary in each country. The fittings of
your SCOTT bike are, therefore, not necessarily complete (a).
Ask your SCOTT dealer concerning the laws and regulations applicable in
your country or in the country you intend to use your SCOTT bike. Have your
SCOTT bike equipped accordingly before using it on public roads.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on pub-
lic roads“.

In case you had a crash with your SCOTT bike, perform at least the check
described in the chapters “Tests before every ride“ and “Tests after an
accident“. Only ride back very carefully on your SCOTT bike, if it passed the
tests without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not ride
your bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt, have yourself picked up by car,
instead of taking any risk. Back home you need to check your SCOTT bike thor-
oughly once again. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer!

We recommend that you take out a private liability insurance. Make sure
that coverage for bicycle damage is provided by your insurance. Contact
your insurance company or agency.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION “TESTS BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE”
WITH YOUR SCOTT PEDELEC
1. Have you ever ridden a pedelec? Note the particular riding characteristics of
this revolutionary hybrid drive concept. Set off for your first ride by selecting
the lowest level of drive assistance (f)! Slowly approach the potential of your
SCOTT pedelec in an area free of traffic.
For more information see the chapters “Riding a SCOTT pedelec” or “Useful
facts for riding a SCOTT speed pedelec“ and the system instructions of your
drive manufacturer on this SCOTT info CD.
6. If you purchased a SCOTT bike with suspension (a+b), you should ask your
SCOTT dealer to adjust the suspension settings to your needs. Improperly
adjusted suspension elements are liable to malfunction or damage. In any
case they will impair the performance of your bike as well as your safety and
joy whilst riding.
For more information see the chapters “Front suspension” and “Suspension
seat posts” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT
info CD.
DANGER!
G
Be aware that the distance you need to stop your pedelec increases, when
you are riding with your hands on bar ends or on multi-position handlebars.
The brake levers are not always within easy reach.
DANGER!
G
Be sure to use your SCOTT bike only for its intended purpose, as it may
otherwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
G
Make particularly sure there is enough space between your crotch and the
top tube (c) so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off your
bicycle quickly.
DANGER!
G
Note that both braking effect and tyre grip can be reduced drastically in
wet conditions. Look well ahead when riding on wet roads and go well be-
low the speed you would ride at in dry conditions.
DANGER!
G
A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much spring tension in
the mechanism can lead to a very firm connection, from which you cannot
quickly step out! Risk of falling!

We recommend that you charge your battery only during the day and only
in dry rooms which have a smoke or a fire detector; but not in your bed-
room. Place the battery during the charging process on a big, non-inflammable
plate made of ceramics or glass! Unplug the battery once it has been charged up.
DANGER!
H
Charge your battery only with the supplied charger. Do not use the charger
of any other manufacturer, not even when the connector of the charger
matches your rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery can heat up,
catch fire or even explode!
DANGER!
H
Do not park your SCOTT pedelec in the blazing sun.
DANGER!
H
Remove the rechargeable battery or the display before doing any work
on your pedelec (e.g. servicing, repairs, assembly, maintenance, work on
your drive etc.) (f). Activating the drive systems unintentionally bears the risk of
injury!
DANGER!
H
The weight distribution on your SCOTT pedelec differs markedly from the
weight distribution on bikes without drive assistance. A SCOTT pedelec is
markedly heavier than a SCOTT bike without drive assistance. For this reason
parking, pushing, lifting and carrying the SCOTT pedelec is more difficult. Bear
this in mind when loading your pedelec into a car and unloading it or when
mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.
DANGER!
H
Be aware that the brakes of your SCOTT pedelec are always more effective
than the drive. If you face any problems with your drive (e.g. because it
pushes you forward in front of a bend), slow down your SCOTT pedelec carefully.
2. The rechargeable battery of your SCOTT pedelec must be charged be-
fore you set off for the first time (a). Are you familiar with the handling and
mounting of the rechargeable battery? Before you set off for the first time,
check whether the battery is properly mounted, that it has engaged audibly
and that it is locked (b).
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer
on this SCOTT info CD.
3. The functions of your SCOTT pedelec are operated with the buttons on the
control unit (c) or on the command console (d). Are you familiar with all func-
tions and displays? Check whether you know the functions of all buttons on
the control unit or on the command console.
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer
on this SCOTT info CD.
4. If your SCOTT pedelec has a pushing aid, this device provides assistance
during pushing your SCOTT pedelec. Are you familiar with the pushing aid?
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer
on this SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
H
Be sure to use your SCOTT pedelec only for its intended purpose, as it may
otherwise not withstand the stress and fail. Risk of falling!
DANGER!
H
When mounting your SCOTT pedelec, make sure not to step on the ped-
als until you sit in the saddle and grip the handlebars tightly, and that one
pedal is at the lowest position when you get on (e). The motor assistance might
switch on suddenly and result in an uncontrolled start of your SCOTT pedelec.
Risk of falling!
DANGER!
H
Pull the brake lever of the rear brake and stop pedalling. The pedelec will
stop. Emergency stop! To achieve the shortest possible stopping distance
brake with both brakes in a way that the pedelec slows down gradually (see
chapter “Brakes”).

3. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. If you have disc brakes,
watch the gap between frame and rim or tyre and, if you have rim brakes,
between brake pad and rim (c). Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with
ruptured sides or broken spokes.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
4. Test the brakes in stationary by firmly pulling the brake levers towards the
handlebars (d). The brake pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly with
their entire surface without touching the tyre during braking, in open condi-
tion or in between.
You should not be able to pull the lever all the way to the handlebars. If your
bike has hydraulic brakes, check the hydraulic brake cables for oil or brake
fluid leaks! Check the thickness of the brake pads, as well.
With disc brakes you should have a stable pressure point at once. If you have
to actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking response,
have the SCOTT bike checked by your SCOTT dealer immediately.
For more information see the chapter “Brakes” and the manuals of the com-
ponent manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
5. Let your SCOTT bike bounce on the ground from a small height (e). If there
is any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted
connections, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. In case you have a SCOTT bike with suspension, press down on your SCOTT
bike and see whether the spring elements retract and extend as usual (f).
For more information see the chapters “Front suspension” and “Suspension
seat posts” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT
info CD.
CAUTION!
S
Before towing a trailer with your SCOTT pedelec contact your SCOTT deal-
er.
CAUTION!
S
Before mounting a child seat, have a look at the SCOTT bike card and con-
tact your SCOTT dealer.
CAUTION!
S
Note that not all SCOTT pedelecs are fitted with kickstands. Therefore,
when parking your SCOTT pedelec, make sure it stands safe and secure
and is not at risk of toppling over or being knocked over. If your SCOTT pedelec
topples over, it can suffer from damage.
TESTS BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Your SCOTT bike has undergone numerous tests during production and a final
check has been carried out by your SCOTT dealer. Nevertheless, be sure to
check the following points to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to
the transport of your SCOTT bike or to changes a third person may have per-
formed on your SCOTT bike before delivery:
1. Are the quick-release levers (a) of the front and rear wheel properly closed
and the bolts of the seat post and other components accurately tightened?
For more information see the chapter “Using quick-releases” and the manuals
of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
2. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure (b)? The
minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of
the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.

G
During use your SCOTT bike is undergoing stress resulting from the surface
of the road and from the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic loads, the
different parts of your bike react with wear and fatigue. Check your SCOTT
bike regularly, i.e. according to the SCOTT service and maintenance schedule,
for wear marks, scratches, deformations, colour changes and any indication
of cracking. Components which have reached the end of their service life may
break without previous warning. Let your SCOTT dealer maintain and service
your SCOTT bike regularly, i.e. according to the SCOTT service and maintenance
schedule. In cases of doubt it is always best to replace components.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION “TESTS BEFORE EVERY RIDE” WITH
YOUR SCOTT PEDELEC
1. Are the connections of the rechargeable battery, the control unit or the com-
mand console and the drive (d) correctly plugged?
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer
on this SCOTT info CD.
2. Is your battery fully charged? Remember to fully recharge the battery after
each longer ride (e.g. less than 50% charged). SCOTT uses modern lithi-
um-ion batteries. These have no memory effect. It does not matter, if your
SCOTT pedelec is left as it is for a short time (e.g. during a break) when less
than 50% charged (e). However, you should not wait until the battery is fully
discharged!
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer
on this SCOTT info CD.
3. Do the display on the control unit (f) and the cycle computer on the han-
dlebars show all the values? Is there any error message or warning on the
display? Check the values are correct before every ride. Do not set off on
your SCOTT pedelec under any circumstances, if the control element shows a
warning.
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer
on this SCOTT info CD.
7. If your bike has a kickstand, make sure it is fully raised (a) before you set off.
Risk of falling!
8. Do not forget to take a high quality D- (b) or chain lock with you on your ride.
The only way to effectively protect your SCOTT bike against theft is to lock it
to an immovable object.
9. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your SCOTT bike is equipped
according to the applicable regulations of your country (c). Riding without
lights and reflectors in dark or dim conditions is very dangerous because
you will be seen too late or not at all by other road users. A set of lights that
corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads. Turn on the lights as
soon as dusk sets in.
For more information see the chapter “Legal requirements for riding on pub-
lic roads“.

DANGER!
G
Do not touch the brake disc directly after having stopped, e.g. after a long
down-hill ride, you may burn your fingers! Always let the brake disc cool
down before opening the quick-release.
Safe fastening of a component with a quick-release
Open the quick-release. You should now be able to read “Open“ (b) on the lever.
Make sure the component to be fastened is in the accurate position.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting the SCOTT bike to the rider”
and “Wheels and tyres” and the manuals of the component manufacturers on
this SCOTT info CD.
Move the lever back, as if to close it. Now you should be able to read ”Close“ on
the outside of the lever. When you start closing the lever you should feel virtu-
ally no resistance with your hand until the lever is at a right angle to the frame/
fork (c).
When continuing to close the lever the resistance you feel should increase signifi-
cantly and towards the end even more strength is required to close the lever. Use
the ball of your thumb while your fingers pull on an immovable part, such as the
fork (d) or a rear stay, but not on a brake disc or spoke, to push it in all the way.
In its end position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick-release axle
(e), i.e. it should not stand out. The lever should lie close to the frame or the fork
so that it cannot be opened accidentally. Make sure, however, that the lever is
easy to handle for actual quick use.
To check whether the lever is securely locked apply pressure to the end of the
hand lever and try to turn it while it is closed (f). If you can turn the lever around,
open it and increase the preload. Screw the tightening nut on the opposite side
clockwise by half a turn. Close the quick-release lever and check it again for
tightness.
Finally lift the bike a few centimetres, so that the wheel no longer touches the
ground and hit the tyre from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will
remain firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame or fork without producing any
rattling.
4. Is the battery tight in its holder and the lock properly locked up? Never set off
with a loose and unlocked battery.
For more information see the system instructions of your drive manufacturer
on this SCOTT info CD.
5. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure? Note
that a pedelec weighs more and that your usual tyre pressure may be insuffi-
cient. A higher pressure gives a better riding stability and reduces the risk of
a puncture. The minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated
on the tyre side.
For more information see the chapter “Wheels and tyres”.
DANGER!
H
Do not use your SCOTT pedelec, if it fails at one of these points! A defective
SCOTT pedelec can lead to serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you
have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
USING QUICK-RELEASES
Most SCOTT bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast adjustments,
assembly and disassembly. Be sure to check whether all quick-releases are tight
before you set off on your SCOTT bike. Quick-releases should be handled with
greatest care, as they affect your safety directly.
Practise the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release retention mechanisms essentially consist of two operative ele-
ments (a):
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping force via a
cam when you close it.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the preload on the
threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set.

ADJUSTING THE SCOTT BIKE TO THE RIDER
Your body height and proportions are decisive for the frame size of your
SCOTT bike. Make particularly sure there is enough space between your
crotch and the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself, if you have to get off
your bike quickly (b).
By choosing a specific type of bicycle you roughly determine the posture you
will be riding in (c+d). However, some components of your SCOTT bike are
especially designed so that you can adjust them to your body proportions up to
a certain degree.
This includes the seat post, the handlebars and the stem as well as the brake
levers.
As all works require know-how, experience, suitable tools (e) and skills, you
should restrict yourself to adjusting your seating position. Contact your SCOTT
dealer, if you are not happy with your seating position or if you want something
changed. They will see to your wishes the next time you leave your SCOTT bike
at the workshop, e.g. for the first inspection.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to make a short functional check
as described in the chapter “Tests before every ride” and do a test ride on your
SCOTT bike in an area free of traffic (f).
DANGER!
g
If you have a very small frame, there may be the danger of your foot col-
liding with the front wheel. Therefore, make sure your cleats are properly
adjusted.
DANGER!
G
All tasks described in the following require the know-how of a mechanic
and appropriate tools. Make it a rule to tighten the bolted connections
always with greatest attention. Increase the torque values bit by bit and check
the fit of the component in between. Use a torque wrench and never exceed the
maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed values in the chapter “Rec-
ommended torque settings for your SCOTT bike”, directly on the components
and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, check whether
the saddle is firmly fixed by trying to twist it relative to the frame (a).
DANGER!
G
Make sure the levers of both wheel quick-releases are always on the side
opposite to the chain. This will help you to avoid mounting the front wheel
accidentally the wrong way round. In the case of SCOTT bikes with disc brakes
and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reasonable to mount both
quick-releases with the lever on the side of the chain drive. This helps you not
to come into contact with the hot brake disc and prevents you from having
your fingers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
Never ride your SCOTT bike without having checked first, whether the
wheels are securely fastened. With an insufficiently closed quick-release the
wheel can come loose, thus creating a serious risk of accident!
CAUTION!
A
If your SCOTT bike is equipped with quick-releases, be sure to lock the
frame to an immovable object together with the wheels when you leave it
outside. Anti-theft protection!
NOTE!
I
To be on the safe side you can replace the quick-releases by special locks.
They can only be opened and closed with a special, coded key or an Allen
key. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
g
After wheel mounting test the brakes in stationary. You should reach the
pressure point of the brake before the brake lever reaches the handlebars.
In the case of hydraulic brakes pump them, if necessary, until you reach a pre-
cise pressure point.

Align the saddle with the frame by using the saddle nose and the bottom
bracket or top tube as a reference point (d). Clamp the seat post tight again by
closing the quick-release, as described in chapter “Using quick-releases” or by
turning the seat post binder bolts clockwise in half turns or better in steps of 0.5
Nm increments starting at 3 Nm. You should not need much strength in your
hands to clamp the seat post sufficiently tight. Otherwise the seat post does not
match the frame.
Verify in between that the seat post is sufficiently tight by taking hold of the
saddle at both ends and then trying to rotate the seat post inside the seat tube
(e). If it does rotate, gently retighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp by
half a turn or better by a quater turn or in steps of 0.5 Nm increments and do
the check again.
Does the leg stretch test now produce the correct result? Check by moving your
foot and pedal to the lowest point. When the ball of your foot is exactly above
the pedal center in the ideal pedaling position, your knee should be slightly
bent. If this is the case, the saddle height is adjusted to the correct height.
Check whether you can touch the ground safely while sitting on the saddle by
stretching your feet to the floor. If not, you should lower the saddle until you
can, at least to begin with.
DANGER!
G
Never apply grease or oil into a seat tube of a frame made of carbon unless
an alloy sleeve is inside the frame. If you mount a carbon seat post, do not
put any grease on it, even if the frame is made of metal. Once greased, carbon
components may never again ensure reliable clamping! Use special carbon
assembly paste instead (f).
DANGER!
G
Make sure not to overtighten the binder bolt of the seat post clamp. Other-
wise you may damage the seat post or the frame. Risk of accident!
NOTE!
I
The seating position depends highly on how you want to use the SCOTT
bike. Ask your SCOTT dealer or your trainer for help. The advice given be-
low is suitable for typical SCOTT city, trekking and urban bikes.
NOTE!
I
If sitting on the saddle causes you trouble, e.g. because it numbs your
crotch, this may be due to the saddle. Your SCOTT dealer has a very wide
range of saddles available and will be pleased to advise you.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SADDLE TO THE CORRECT HEIGHT
The correct saddle height depends on the length of your legs. When pedalling,
the ball of your foot should be positioned above the center of the pedal axle.
With your feet in this position you should not be able to stretch your legs com-
pletely straight at the lowest point (a), otherwise your pedalling will become
awkward.
Check the height of your saddle with flat-soled shoes. This is best done with
suitable cycling shoes.
Sit on the saddle and put your heel on the pedal at its lowest point. Your leg
should be fully stretched and your hips should remain horizontal.
To adjust the saddle height loosen the quick-release lever (see the chapter “Us-
ing quick-releases“) or the binder bolt of the seat post clamp at the top of the
seat tube (b).
The latter requires suitable tools, e.g. an Allen key, with which you turn the bolt
two to three turns anticlockwise. Now you can perform the vertical adjustment
of the seat post.
Be sure not to pull out the seat post too far. The mark on the seat post (max.,
min., stop or the like) should always remain within the seat tube (c). Always
grease the surface of an aluminium or titanium seat post that is inserted into a
seat tube made of aluminium, titanium or steel. Do not grease carbon seat posts
and/or carbon seat tubes in the clamping area! Use special carbon assembly
paste instead.

There are three different stem systems that allow vertical adjustment of the
handlebars, the conventional (c), the adjustable (d) and the Aheadset®-stem
(e).These systems require special knowledge. In this regard, the descriptions
hereafter may be incomplete. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your SCOTT dealer.
DANGER!
G
The stem is one of the load bearing parts of your SCOTT bike. Changes to
it can impair your safety. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your SCOTT dealer!
DANGER!
G
These routines require a certain amount of manual skill and (special) tools.
Ask your SCOTT dealer to explain you both function and adjustment of
your stem or let him do that work.
DANGER!
G
The bolted connections of stem and handlebars have to be tightened to
the prescribed torque values. If you disregard the prescribed values, the
handlebars or stem may come loose or break. Use a torque wrench and never
exceed the maximum torque values! You will find the prescribed values in the
chapter “Recommended torque settings for your SCOTT bike”, directly on the
components and/or in the manuals of the component manufacturers on this
SCOTT info CD.
DANGER!
G
Stems come in varying lengths (f) as well as shaft and binder tube diame-
ters. A stem of inappropriate dimension can become a source of danger:
Handlebars, stems or forks can break, resulting in an accident. When replacing
any parts be sure to only use parts that bear the appropriate mark and, to be on
the safe side, original spare parts from SCOTT or SYNCROS. Your SCOTT dealer
will be pleased to help you.
DANGER!
G
Never ride your bike with the seat post drawn out beyond the limit, maxi-
mum, or stop mark! The seat post might break or cause severe damage to
the frame. In the case of frames with seat tubes that extend beyond the top of
the frame’s top tube the seat post should be inserted into the seat tube at least
below the bottom of the top tube and below the top of the rear stays! If seat
post and frame require different minimum insertion depths, you should opt for
the deeper insertion depth.
CAUTION!
A
If the seat post does not move easily inside the seat tube or if it cannot be
tightened sufficiently, ask your SCOTT dealer for advice. Do not use brute
force!
CAUTION!
A
Tighten carefully by approaching the prescribed maximum torque value
in small steps (0.5 Nm increments) and check in between the proper fit of
the component (a). Never exceed the maximum torque value indicated by the
manufacturer!
NOTE!
I
Children and adolescents need to have the saddle height and the position
of saddle and handlebars checked at least every 3 months!
NOTE!
I
If your SCOTT bike has a suspension seat post (b), you will find further in-
formation in the chapter “Suspension seat posts” and in the manuals of the
component manufacturers on this SCOTT info CD.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEIGHT OF THE HANDLEBARS
The height of the handlebars compared to the saddle and the distance between
saddle and handlebars determine how much your upper body will be inclined
forward. Lowering the handlebars gives you a streamlined position and brings
more weight to bear on the front wheel. However, it also entails an extremely
forward leaning posture which is tiring and less comfortable, because it increas-
es the strain on your wrists, arms, back, upper body and neck.
