important to read before the first ride
The most important points for you to do
1. Even if you have ridden a bicycle for years, it is important for every person to read the general
“Bike Owner’s manual” and the specific “RIDE+ Owner’s manual” carefully before you
ride on the new RIDE+ bicycle.
• Both manuals contain detailed information and useful suggestions about your new bicycle.
• Make sure that you understand the proper use, maintenance, and disposal of the components
of the electrical system of your new RIDE+ bicycle.
2. Think about safety. Your safety and that of other road users is very important.
• Do not ride the electric bike without the battery pack. The battery pack must be installed on the
bike while riding to ensure the lights can be powered for safety.
• Do not misuse the electric bike by riding it without a saddle. Some bikes have a quick release on
the seat post. If the saddle gets stolen, it may lead to hazardous situations when still riding on the
electric bike without a saddle.
• Check your bike for normal operation, loose parts and defects before riding. If you find any
problem, visit your bike dealer for repairs before riding.
• Be aware that other road users do not expect that an electric bike can ride faster than a normal
bike. Riding faster also increases the risk of accidents.
• Do not ride abusively. Only ride in the Use Conditions specified for your bike. Please refer to the
general Bicycle Owner’s manual for more detailed information.
• Do not over load the rear rack. The maximum allowable weight for the rear rack on RIDE+ bikes
is 20 kg for bikes with a rear rack battery pack.
3. The electric system of your new bicycle needs special attention.
• Do not clean your electric bicycle with a high pressure washer. Any electric system is sensitive for
moisture. High pressure water might ingress in connectors or other parts of the electric system.
• Protect the battery docking connector. With removed battery pack, apply the protective cover to
prevent corrosion and damage to the connector.
• Handle your battery pack with care. Do not drop or impact the battery pack. Mishandling of the
battery pack could lead to severe damage or over-heating. In an extremely rare case, a battery
pack that has been severely impacted or otherwise mishandled could potentially catch fire.
If you suspect damage to your battery pack, visit your dealer immediately for inspection.
4. Maintain the battery pack as instructed in the RIDE+ Owner’s manual.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to your battery pack and may require
battery pack replacement:
• Charge the battery pack at least once every six months or when the battery pack shows a low
charge on the controller, a low-level red LED indicator or beeps every 30 minutes.
• Only charge the battery pack with the included BionX power supply.
• When the battery pack is not in use, store it with a 100% charge in a dry, cool place, between
5 °C and 25 °C, preferably 5-10 °C. Do not store it in places where temperatures get higher
than +25 °C or lower than 5 °C. Avoid extreme temperature changes.

ENGLISH
important to read before the first ride
5. Be careful when transporting a RIDE+ bike.
• An E-bike is heavier than a normal bike. If transporting on a vehicle, be aware of the maximum
load capacity of the vehicle’s roof, towing hook and/or of the applied bike carrier.
Refer to the manual of the vehicle and bike carrier for details.
• Remove the controller, battery pack and, if present, panniers from the bicycle and store them
elsewhere in the vehicle during the drive.
• Always respect local laws about transportation of a(n electric) bicycle.
• Because Li-Ion battery packs of this size and power are considered ‘Dangerous goods, class 9’
when transporting, regulations may restrict the transport of separate Li-Ion batteries in some
places. The restrictions apply to most airlines and some trucking companies. But, if you intend
to ship or travel with your complete RIDE+ bike (with installed battery pack), the regulations
are less strict. Make sure to check ahead with your airline or carrier, before booking your trip, if
it is allowed to travel with your complete RIDE+ bike.
6. Visit your dealer on a regular basis for maintenance of your new bike.
• Your dealer has the right knowledge and equipment to maintain your RIDE+ bike.
• If you have questions about your new RIDE+ bicycle, ask your dealer!

Congratulations on your new electric bicycle!
Your electric bicycle is a bike with electric pedal assistance.
This means that you can pedal it as a normal bike, or that the bike can assist you in your pedaling.
The electric bicycle will assist you when you are pedaling. The amount of assistance depends on
the force you exert on the pedals. Pedelecs assist up to a speed of 25 km/h. This class is legally
considered a bicycle.
The electric bicycle differs only slightly from a non-electric bike.
The following parts are specific to an electric bicycle
• The motor,
• The battery pack,
• The controller / display and remote on the handlebars and/or on the clamp in front of the
handlebars.

• Brake Switch
The right-hand brake lever of cable-activated brakes contains a
switch that cuts off the power to the motor, and switches the motor
to generation mode as soon as the right-hand brake lever is pulled.
• Wiring Harness
The wiring harness links controller, brake switch, battery pack and
motor. It runs through the frame and is linked to the battery pack
via the docking station in the rear rack.
2.2 Assistance/Regeneration
The system has four levels of assistance. When the system is set to assistance, the electric motor
drives the rear wheel and assists you in your pedaling.
Additionally, the system has four levels of regeneration. When the system is set to regeneration,
the electric motor is used as a dynamo and generates electricity for charging the battery pack.
Going downhill, you can reduce your speed by regulating the amount level of regeneration as the
created resistance acts as a motor brake.
CAUTION. The re-generative braking mode should not be used as a substitute for use of brakes
to control speed or stop.
The tables below give an indication of the effort that is compensated in the different assistance and
regeneration levels. The real percentages of compensated effort depend on the software settings of
the bike.
Assistance Effort compensation with
battery R320, R420 and R500 Recharge Situation
130% No Flat ground
260% No Uphill slopes, headwind
3100% No Hill, strong headwind

NOTICES.
- To prevent loss of riding information and possibly making the assist system inoperable, please make sure that
the assist system is switched Off before it is removed from the bike.
- The Remote cannot be removed.
WARNING. Never unplug any connection with the system turned On - this includes the DS3
Display. Pulling a live part can render it inoperable.
• Unintended removal of controller out of its dock
If the controller is moved off its clamp while the system is active (‘On’), the system will no longer
assist, even when the controller is replaced into its clamp. Please select the correct level of
assistance again to reactivate the system.
3.7 Rear rack battery packs
• Battery pack size
Depending on the model, your bike will be equipped with a 320 Wh to 490 Wh battery pack.
Removal, charging and putting back are the same for all battery packs.
• Bontrager Interchange System compatibility
The rear rack battery packs are compatible with the Bontrager Interchange System. This means you
can mount a(n optional) Bontrager Interchange basket or pannier on the rear rack of the bike by
removing the plug from the battery pack.
• Removing the battery pack from the bike
instructions for use

EN-17
ENGLISH
instructions for use
Switch Off the system before removing the battery pack. Insert the key into the lock on the battery
docking and turn it clockwise (1,2). The battery pack can now be taken off the bike. Slide the battery
pack out by pulling it to the rear (3,4). Don’t forget to take the keys out of the lock after removal.
• Putting the battery pack onto the bike
Turn the key of the lock anti-clockwise and slide the battery pack into the rear rack, connector side
first (1). Make sure the battery pack engages the rail (2). Slide all the way forward, pushing through a
slightly higher resistance at the end as the connector engages (3). Take the key out (4).
Do not ride the bike with the lock open.
3.8 Lighting
The front and rear lights, as well as the display light, are switched ‘On’ and ‘Off’ on the RIDE+ controller
or on the Remote. When the battery pack shows ‘empty’, there is still enough capacity left to run the
lights for about two hours. The onboard software ensures that - as long as the bike is moving - the
lights can operate for an indefinite period of time using the dynamo function of the motor as the
power source.
WARNING. Do not ride the electric bike without the battery pack. The battery pack must be
installed on the bike while riding to ensure the lights can be powered for safety.
3.9 Charging the battery pack
WARNING. Before charging, make sure that the system is switched Off and never turn the system
On or Off during charging. This prevents unintended activation of the system. Only use the power supply
approved for use with this bike. Charging with a non-original power supply may cause the battery pack
to overheat, catch fire, or even explode. When charging, do not let the battery pack or power supply get
wet – because of risk of electrical shock.
The battery pack can both be charged in the bike or it can be removed from the bike for charging.
Li-Ion batteries such as are used in the electric bicycle, have no ‘memory-effect’. This means that
the battery capacity is not influenced if the battery pack is recharged before it is completely empty.
You can recharge after every ride. However, you will get the most from your battery pack if, for the
first three charges, you use it until only one unit is showing in the ‘fuel gauge’ on your display.
