DEAR CUSTOMER,

In purchasing this STORCK-RADDAR pedelec you have chosen a prod-

uct of high quality and technology. Each component of your new

STORCK-RADDAR pedelec has been designed, manufactured and

assembled with great care and expertise. Your STORCK dealer gave

the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec its nal assembly and adjustment to

guarantee proper operation and many enjoyable riding experiences

with complete peace of mind from the very rst metres.

This manual contains a wealth of information on the proper use of

your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec, its maintenance and operation as

well as interesting information on its design and engineering. Please

read these instructions thoroughly. We are sure that even if you have

been cycling all your life you will nd useful and detailed information.

Therefore, before setting o on your new STORCK-RADDAR pedelec,

be sure to read at least chapters “Before Your FIRST Ride“, “Riding

a STORCK-RADDAR Pedelec – Special Features” and “Operation

and Displays”.

To have as much fun as possible during cycling, be sure to carry out

the functional check described in chapter “Before EVERY Ride” be-

fore setting o.

Even a manual as big as an encyclopaedia could not describe any

possible combination of pedelec models and components or parts

on the market. It therefore focuses on your newly purchased STORCK-

RADDAR pedelec and standard components and provides useful in-

formation and warnings.

When doing maintenance or repair work, be aware that the detailed

instructions provided in your manual only refer to this STORCK-

RADDAR pedelec .

The information included here is not applicable to any other pedelec

type. As bicycles come in a wide varity of designs with frequent

model changes, the routines described may require complementary

information. Be sure to also observe the STORCK user manual moun-

tain bike as well as the instructions of the component suppliers that

you have received from your STORCK dealer.

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 or sup-

plementary instructions. This manual cannot teach you the skills of a

bicycle mechanic.

a b c d

Before you set o, let us point out a few things that are very impor-

tant to every cyclist: Never ride without a properly adjusted helmet

and without glasses and take care to always wear suitable clothing.

As a minimum you should wear straight cut trousers and shoes tting

the pedal system. 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. Please be aware that cy-

cling is a hazardous activity that requires the rider to stay in control

of his or her STORCK-RADDAR pedelec at all times.

Like any sport, cycling involves the risk of injury and damage. Keep

this in mind. When you decide to ride a STORCK-RADDAR pedelec

you need to accept the risk inherent to cycling. Please note that on a

STORCK-RADDAR pedelec you have no protection technique around

you (e.g. bodywork, ABS or airbag) like you have in a car. Therefore,

always ride carefully and do respect the other trafﬁc participants.

Never ride under the inuence of prescription drugs, drugs, medicals,

alcohol or when you are tired. Do not ride with a second person on

your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec and never ride without having both

hands on the handlebars.

Observe the legal regulations concerning o-road cycling. These

regulations may dier in each country. Please respect nature when

riding o-road. Only use your bicycle on signposted, well maintained

trails and hard-surface roads.

First we would like to familiarise you with the various components

used on your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec. Please unfold the cover of

the supplementary instructions of this STORCK-RADDAR pedelec.

Here your will nd the diagram of a STORCK-RADDAR pedelec includ-

ing rechargeable battery, control unit and charger as well as 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.

ARead in any case the STORCK user manual mountain bike

that you have received from your STORCK dealer.

AFor your own safety, never do work on your bicycle unless

you feel absolutely sure about it. If you are in doubt or if

you have any questions, contact your STORCK dealer.

e f g h

INTENDED USE

Keep in mind that every bicycle type is built for a specic intended use.

Be sure to use your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec only according to its in-

tended use, as it may otherwise not withstand the stress, fail and cause

an accident with unforeseeable consequences! Using it for another

than the intended use will void the warranty.

Pedelecs (pedal electric cycles) are bicycles with auxiliary motor that

only switches on when the pedals are moved by the rider. You do not

need a driver’s licence for riding a pedelec, if the motor assistance

switches o automatically at a speed of 25 km/h (15 mph).

Your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec complies with these conditions.

Unlimited use of cycle lanes is permitted with your STORCK-RADDAR

pedelec. Wearing a helmet is recommended, but not compulsory.

STORCK-RADDAR pedelecs are designed for cycling exclusively on

lanes and roads with a smooth surface. Only use trails that are allowed

for bicycles. STORCK-RADDAR pedelecs are not suitable for o-road

use. Using your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec o-road can result in crashes

with unforeseeable consequences.

iFor more information about the intended use of your

STORCK-RADDAR pedelec as well as the permitted overall

weight (rider, STORCK-RADDAR pedelec and baggage) see

the bicycle card. The bicycle card also shows whether your

STORCK-RADDAR pedelec is approved for trailer and child

carrier mounting.

a b c d

5

BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE

1. The STORCK-RADDAR pedelec is designed for a maximum overall

weight including rider, baggage and pedelec. The maximum overall

weight is specied in the bicycle card enclosed with this manual; if

it is not, contact your STORCK dealer.

2. If you want to use your bicycle on public roads, it has to comply

with the respective legal requirements. These requirements may

vary in each country. The ttings of your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec

are, therefore, not necessarily complete. Ask your STORCK dealer

for the laws and regulations applicable in your country or in the

country you intend to use the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec. Have your

STORCK-RADDAR pedelec equipped accordingly, before using it on

public roads.

3. The rechargeable battery of your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec must

be charged

(e)

before you set o for the rst time.

Are you familiar with the handling and mounting of the recharge-

able battery

(f)

? Before you set o for the rst time, check whether

the battery is properly mounted, that it has engaged audibly and

that it is locked.

For more information see chapter “Rechargeable Battery”.

4. The control unit of your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec has various func-

tions

(g+h)

. Are you familiar with all functions and displays?

Check whether you know the function of all buttons on the control

unit.

For more information see chapter “Operation and Displays”.

e f g h

6

5. Are you familiar with the brake system

(a)

? Have a look at the bicy-

cle 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, have it modied by

your STORCK dealer before you set o for the rst time. Otherwise,

you will need to learn to get used to it, as inadvertent use of the

front brake can throw you o your bicycle.

Your new STORCK-RADDAR pedelec is equipped with modern

brakes which may be far more powerful than those you were used

to so far. Be sure to ﬁrst practise using the brakes on a level, non-slip

surface o public roads.

For more information see chapter “Brake System” of your STORCK

user manual mountain bike and the enclosed operating instruc-

tions.

6. Are you familiar with the type and functioning of the gears

(b)

? Ask

your STORCK dealer to explain you the gear system and make your-

self familiar with your new gears in an area free of trac, if neces-

sary.

For more information see chapter “Gears” of your STORCK user

manual mountain bike and the enclosed operating instructions.

7. Are both 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. Check whether your toes reach to

the oor when you are sitting on the saddle

(c)

. Your STORCK dealer

will be pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your seating

position.

For more information see chapter “Adjusting the Bicycle to the

Rider” of your STORCK user manual mountain bike.

8. If your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec is equipped with clipless or step-

in pedals

(d)

: Have you ever tried the shoes they go with? Do not set

o until you have practised engaging and disengaging the shoes

from the pedals in stationary

.

Ask your STORCK dealer to explain

you the pedals.

For more information see chapter “Pedals and Shoes” of your

STORCK user manual mountain bike and the enclosed operating

instructions.

a b c d

7

9. If you have bought a STORCK-RADDAR pedelec with suspension

(e+f)

, you should ask your STORCK dealer to adjust the suspension

mechanism to your needs before delivery. Improperly adjusted sus-

pension components are liable to malfunction or damage. In any

case they will impair the performance of your bicycle as well as your

safety and joy whilst cycling.

For more information see chapters “Suspension Forks”, “Rear

Shock” and “Suspension Seat Posts” of your STORCK user manual

mountain bike. Further instructions regarding full suspension bicy-

cles and forks are possibly enclosed with this manual.

GA lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much

spring tension in the mechanism can lead to a very ﬁrm con-

nection, from which you cannot quickly step out. Risk of ac-

cident!

GWhen mounting your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec, make

sure not to step in the pedals until you sit in the saddle and

gripping the handlebars tight. The motor assistance might

switch on suddenly and result in an uncontrolled start of

your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec. Risk of accident!

GBe aware that the distance you need to stop your bicycle may

increase, when you are riding with your hands on bar ends

(g)

or on multi position handlebars. The brake levers are not

always within easy reach.

GPlease note that in wet conditions the brake performance

is less eective and the tyre grip reduced. Keep this fact in

mind in particular when riding on a wet road and do not ride

as fast as you would in dry conditions.

GMake particularly sure there is enough space between your

crotch and the top tube

(h)

so that you do not hurt yourself, if

you have to get o your bicycle quickly.

ASTORCK-RADDAR pedelecs are not approved for towing

trailers and mounting child carriers!

AThe weight distribution on STORCK-RADDAR pedelecs dif-

fers markedly from the weight distribution on bicycles with-

out drive assistance. Due to the rear wheel motor it is much

heavier in the rear than in the front. For this reason lifting

and carrying the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec is more dicult.

Bear this in mind when loading your pedelec into a car and

unloading it or when mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.

e f g h

8

BEFORE EVERY RIDE

Your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec has undergone numerous tests dur-

ing production and a nal check has been carried out by your STORCK

dealer. Nevertheless, be sure to check the following points before every

ride to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to the transport of

your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec or to the work a third person may have

performed on your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec before delivery:

1. Are the quick-release levers

(a)

or bolted connections of the front

and rear wheel properly closed and the bolts of the seat post and

other components accurately tightened?

For more information see chapter “How to Use Quick-Releases” of

your STORCK user manual mountain bike and the enclosed operat-

ing instructions.

2. Are the connections of the rechargeable battery, the control unit

and the motor correctly plugged

(b)

?

For more information see chapter “Rechargeable Battery” and

“Operation and Displays”.

3. Is your battery fully charged

(c)

? Keep in mind to entirely recharge

the battery after every ride. You need not wait until the battery is

empty!

For more information see chapter “Charging the Battery”.

4. Does the control unit show all values

(d)

? Is there any error message

or warning on the control unit? Check the values are correct on

your control unit before every ride. Do not set o on your STORCK-

RADDAR pedelec when the control unit shows a warning.

This function is planned to be available with the new generation of

control units presumably introduced from model year 2012 on.

For more information see chapter “Operation and Displays”.

a b c d

9

5. Is the battery tight in its mounting

(e)

and is it locked correctly

(f)

?

Never set o with a loose and unlocked battery.

For more information see chapter “Mounting the Battery”.

6. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sucient pres-

sure? The minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indi-

cated on the tyre side

(g)

.

For more information see chapter “Wheels and Tyre Equipment”

of your STORCK user manual mountain bike and the enclosed oper-

ating instructions.

7. Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are true. Watch the gap

between rim and brake pad or, in the case of disc brakes, between

frame and rim or tyre. Untrue rims can be an indication of tyres with

ruptured sides or broken axles or spokes.

For more information see chapter “Wheels and Tyre Equipment”

of your STORCK user manual mountain bike and the enclosed oper-

ating instructions.

8. Test the brakes in stationary by rmly pulling the brake levers to-

wards the handlebars

(h)

. The brake pads of rim brakes must hit

the rim evenly with their entire surface without touching the tyre

during braking or in open condition or in between. Make sure you

cannot pull the brake levers all the way to the handlebars and check

the hydraulic brake cables for leaks. Check the thickness of the

brake pads, as well.

With disc brakes you should directly get a positive braking re-

sponse. If you have to actuate the brake lever more than once to

get a positive braking response, have the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec

checked by your STORCK dealer.

For more information see chapter “Brake System” of your STORCK

user manual mountain bike and the enclosed operating instruc-

tions.

e f g h

9. Let your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec bounce on the ground from a

height of about 3 to 5 cm. If there is any rattling, see where it comes

from. Check the bearings, the bolts and the proper seat of the bat-

tery

(a)

, if necessary.

10. If you want to ride on public roads, make sure your STORCK-RADDAR

pedelec is equipped according to the regulations of your country

(b)

. Riding without lights and reectors in dark or dim conditions

is very dangerous, because you will be seen too late or not at all by

other road users. A lighting set 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 chapter “Legal Requirements for Rid-

ing on Public Roads“ of your STORCK user manual mountain bike.

11. If your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec has suspension, check it as fol-

lows: Press down on your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec and see wheth-

er the spring elements retract and extend as usual.

For more information see chapters “Suspension Forks”, “Rear

Shock” and “Suspension Seat Posts” of your STORCK user manual

mountain bike.

12. If your bicycle has a kick-stand, make sure it is fully raised

(c)

before

you set o. Risk of accident!

13. Do not forget to take a high quality D- or chain lock

(d)

with you on

your ride. The only way to eectively protect your STORCK-RADDAR

pedelec against theft is to lock it to an immovable object.

10

a b c d

GImproperly closed quick-releases and other fastenings

(e+f)

can cause components of the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec to

come loose and result in serious accidents!

GDo not use your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec, if it fails on one

of these points! Riding a defective STORCK-RADDAR pedelec

can result in serious accidents! If you are in doubt or if you

have any questions, contact your STORCK dealer.

GDuring use your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec is undergoing

stress resulting from the surface of the road and through

the rider’s action. Due to these dynamic loads, the dier-

ent parts of your bicycle react with wear and fatigue. Please

check your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec regularly for wear

marks, scratches

(g)

, 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 dealer maintain and service your STORCK-RADDAR

pedelec regularly and in cases of doubt it is always best to

replace components.

AFTER AN ACCIDENT

1. Check whether the wheels are still rmly xed in the drop-outs

(h)

and whether the rims are still centred with respect to the frame or

fork. Spin the wheels and observe the gap either between brake

pads and rim sides or between frame and tyre.

If the width of the gap changes markedly and you have no way to

true the rim where you are, you will need to release the rim brake a

little so that the rim can run between the brake pads without touch-

ing them. Please note that in this case the brakes may not act as

powerfully as you are used to.

For more information see chapters “Brake System”, “How to Use

Quick-Releases” and “Wheels and Tyre Equipment” of your

STORCK user manual mountain bike as well as the enclosed operat-

ing instructions.

11

e f g h

2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither bent nor broken and

that they are level and upright

(a)

. Make sure the stem is rmly xed

on the fork by trying to turn the handlebars relative to the front

wheel

(b)

. Briey lean on the brake levers to make sure the handle-

bars are rmly xed in the stem.

Realign the components, if necessary, and carefully tighten

(c)

the

bolts to ensure a reliable clamping of the components. The maxi-

mum torque values are printed directly on the components or

specied in the enclosed operating instructions.

For more information see chapters “Adjusting the Bicycle to the

Rider”, “Headset” of your STORCK user manual mountain bike and

the enclosed operating instructions.

3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainrings and the

sprockets. If your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec fell over to the chain

side, verify the proper functioning of the gears. Ask somebody to

lift the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec by the saddle and carefully shift

through all the gears. Pay particular attention when shifting to the

small gears and make sure the rear derailleur does not get too close

to the spokes

(d)

as the chain climbs onto the larger sprockets.

If the rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger are bent,

the rear derailleur may collide with the spokes. This can result in

damage to the rear derailleur, the rear wheel and the frame.

Check the function of the front derailleur, as a displaced front de-

railleur can throw o the chain, thus interrupting the drive of the

STORCK-RADDAR pedelec.

For more information see chapter “Gears” of your STORCK user

manual mountain bike and the enclosed operating instructions.

12

a b c d

4. Make sure the saddle is not out of alignment using the top tube

or the bottom bracket shell as a reference. If necessary, open the

clamp, realign the saddle and retighten the clamp

(e)

.

For more information see chapters “Adjusting the Bicycle to the

Rider”, “How to Use Quick-Releases”of your STORCK user manual

mountain bike and the enclosed operating instructions.

5. Check the battery

(f+g)

. If the battery is no longer properly in its

mounting or shows any damage, do not use your STORCK-RADDAR

pedelec. A damaged battery can result in the STORCK-RADDAR

pedelec being suddenly without drive. Risk of accident! Damage to

the outer shell of the battery can result in water or moisture entry

and short circuits or electric shocks. The rechargable battery may

catch re or even explode! In such a case, contact your STORCK

dealer immediately.

For more information see chapter “Rechargeable Battery”.

6. Lift your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec up a few centimetres and let it

bounce onto the ground. If this causes any sort of noise, search for

loosened bolts or components. Retighten them, if necessary.

7. Check whether the values shown on the control unit are correct and

complete

(h)

. Do not use your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec, if the con-

trol unit shows an error message or a warning.

Do not set o on your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec when the control

unit shows a warning. In such a case, contact your STORCK dealer

immediately.

For more information see chapter “Operation and Displays”.

13

e f g h

8. Finally, take a good look at the whole STORCK-RADDAR pedelec

(a)

to detect any deformations, colour changes or cracks.

Ride back very carefully by taking the shortest route possible, even

if your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec went through this check without

any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not ride your

bicycle out of the saddle. If you are in doubt about the performance

of your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec, have yourself picked up by car,

instead of taking any risk.

Back home you need to check your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec thor-

oughly. The damaged parts must be repaired. Ask your STORCK

dealer for help.

For more information about carbon components see chapter

”Carbon – Important Information“ of your STORCK user manual

mountain bike.

GDeformed components, especially components made of

aluminium, can break without previous warning. They must

not be repaired, i.e. straightened, as the imminent risk of

breakage will remain. This applies in particular to the fork,

the handlebars, the stem, the cranks, the seat post and the

pedals. When in doubt, it it always recommendable to have

these components replaced, as your safety comes rst. Ask

your STORCK dealer for help.

GIf your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec is assembled with carbon

components

(b)

, it is imperative that you have your STORCK-

RADDAR pedelec checked by your STORCK dealer after an

accident or similar incident. Carbon is an extremely strong

material which combines high resistance with low weight.

It is, however, one of the inherent properties of carbon that

possible overstress may compromise the inner carbon-bre

structure

(c)

without showing any visible deformation as is

the case with steel or aluminium. A damaged component

can fail without previous warning. Risk of accident!

RIDING A STORCKRADDAR PEDELEC 

SPECIAL FEATURES

Your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec is designed to be used like a conven-

tional bicycle. The unique riding experience, however, starts when you

actuate the on/o rocker switch at the control unit. At that moment the

assistance generated by the 250 W motor in the rear wheel hub

(d)

in-

creases the stronger you pedal. And when braking and rolling downhill

the rechargeable battery will be supplied automatically with energy

and hereby extend the range of your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec.

Riding with Drive Assistance

The auxiliary drive can be switched on at any time, even during the ride.

Push the on/o rocker switch at the control unit

(e)

to position “I“. The

patented magnetic eld sensor in the rear wheel hub will then measure

permanently and without delay how strong you pedal; and the motor

will provide assistance up to a torque of 35 Nm. This assistance starts

when you set o and is interrupted at the moment you stop pedalling.

The degree of assistance can be determined by shifting the push lever

at the control unit; it ranges continuously from low (“L”)

(f)

to full assist-

ance (“H”)

(g)

.

The drive assistance is provided until the maximum permitted speed of

25 km/h (15 mph) is reached and gently stopped up to this limit. From

approx. 25 km/h (15 mph) on the drive switches into the recuperation

mode. Please note in this connection the following:

• Do not exceed a maximum speed of 45 km/h (28 mph) when riding

downhill. Otherwise you run the risk of blowing the fuse of the recu-

peration power. This risk is particularly accute with the auxiliary drive

being switched o. Replacing the fuse it a job that must be carried

out by a STORCK dealer.

• Do not make long downhill rides with a fully charged battery. You

also run the risk of blowing the fuse of the recuperation power.

The drive assistance is independent of the chosen gear ratio and ca-

dence. Even though modern gear derailleurs

(h)

allow gear changes

under load, it is recommended that you reduce the pedal force a litte

before shifting, in particular before shifting the front derailleur.

15

e f g h

Range

How long and how far you can benet from the auxiliary drive depends

on several factors, i.e. the road conditions, the weight of rider and ad-

ditional load, the rider’s pedal force, the degree of assistance, (head)

winds, frequent stops, the temperature, weather conditions, etc.

With average terrain and load the expected range varies between 40

and 60 km (25 and 37 miles). It is recommended, however, that you ask

your STORCK dealer to t your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec with a cycle

computer that also determines the average speed directly on purchase.

The cycle computer

(a)

as well as the control LEDs on the battery

(ve-stage from “full” to “empty”) will help you gaining experience on

the relation between riding performance and (battery) range under

your riding habits.

And in case it turns out that the capacity of the battery is not big

enough to reach your destination, you benet from the decisive ad-

vantage of the STORCK-RADDAR pedelec over a pure motor vehicle.

Without drive assistance it can be used like a conventional bicycle with

unlimited range and in view of the inferior additional weight of auxil-

iary drive (4.5 kg) and battery (approx. 2.5 kg) nearly without losses in

terms of riding characteristics.

The control LEDs on the display

(c)

indicate the state of stress of the

system. The battery’s state of charge is indicated on the battery’s con-

trol display.

To extend the range it is recommended that you ride with low or no as-

sistance at all on level or downhill trails and only fall back on maximum

drive assistance with headwinds, heavy additional loads and/or when

climbing hills.

gDo a test ride to make yourself familiar with the riding char-

acteristics of your STORCK-RADDAR pedelec and the possi-

bly higher speed and acceleration, before riding on public

roads. Risk of accident!
