Dear Cu󰘵omers,
Thank you for purchasing a DECATHLON electrically-assi󰘵ed bike.
We invite you to read the in󰘵ruction manual to get the mo󰘵 out of your E-EDR AF bike.
Never forget that an electrically-assi󰘵ed bike is not a moped. It needs your help to go further,
fa󰘵er and longer.
We sugge󰘵 that you learn how to use your electrically-assi󰘵ed bike in an open area in order
to get used to the feel of the motor kicking in and thus ensure optimum control of your bicycle.
An electrically-assi󰘵ed bike is heavier than a conventional bike. Without power assi󰘵ance,
pedalling can be more di󰘲cult.
You mu󰘵 always make sure you are capable of riding the entire journey without assi󰘵ance,
in case your battery runs 󰘱at.
Here is what you need to do to get the mo󰘵 out of your power-assi󰘵ed bike.
Important, this in󰄋ruction manual only applies to the electrical characteri󰄋ics of
your bicycle.
You should refer to the user manuals common to all our bicycles that accompany
this document and are also available on our website www.decathlon.com or on re-
que󰄋 in our DECATHLON 󰄋ores.

General operation of the electrical assi󰄋ance
The power assi󰘵ed bike can be used with or without assi󰘵ance by pressing the Command button «C» and altering the modes 0-1-2-3. The selec-
table 0-1-2-3 assi󰘵ance modes selectable on the «C» Command button allow you to choose a power assi󰘵 level in addition to the e󰘯ort provided.
Power assi󰘵ance will only work if you are pedalling, with a selected mode other than 0. Assi󰘵ance cuts o󰘯 when the speed is above 25km/h. In
case of intensive use and in exceptional climatic conditions, assi󰘵ance may be cut o󰘯 to safeguard the whole sy󰘵em.
The power supplied is calculated by the controller «C» based on your pedalling and the assi󰘵ance mode selected.
The motor hub «B» will provide more or less power depending on the mode selected and the force applied
Power assi󰘵ance does not kick in or shuts down in the following situations:
- The speed is above 25km/h
- You’re not pedalling
- The battery «A» remaining charge is not su󰘲cient
- «0» is the power assi󰘵ance mode selected

MOTOR
Motor «B» of your power-assi󰘵ed bike is a brushless-type motor with mechanical reduction, allowing you to have high torque and less resi󰘵ance
(quieter motor).
So motor noise in use does not exceed 55db. The power of the motor is limited to 250W maximum.
COMMAND BUTTON
Electric assi󰘵ance is controlled by the command button on the frame.
Informations are reported by a speci󰘰c color code.

BATTERY AND CHARGER
Battery and charger properties
All batteries in our electric bikes use Lithium-Ion cell technology and have no memory e󰘯ect. The battery can be recharged at any time. There’s no
need to wait until it’s completely discharged.
Recharging the battery after each use is recommended.
You should recharge your battery at lea󰘵 every 3 months even if you do not use it.
Battery Charger
36 V / 6.8 Ah
250Wh
Input: 100-240 V
Output: 42 V 4A
Your battery is guaranteed for 2 years or 500 charging and discharging cycles (1 cycle = 1 charge from 0% to 100% + 1 discharge from 100% to
0% or 1 cycle = 2 charges to 50%) subject to compliance with the proper conditions of use and 󰘵orage.
Battery & E-bike range
The range of your ebike tour is determined by several factors: tyres pressure, external temperature, riding mode, e󰘯ort on the pedals, total weight,
terrain, wind conditions... Refer to page 4 to know how to optimize your range.

Battery charging level
During the recharging phase, the bike button indicates the battery
level.
- Red: charge level less than 25%
- Orange: charge level between 25% and 50%
- Green: charge level between 50% and 75%
- White: charge level more than 75%
>75% <15%50%-75% 25%-50% 15%-25%
Battery and charger precaution
Never remove the battery from the bike!
This manipulation could be dangerous and is reserved for trained Decathlon technicians.
<25%
Do not 󰘵ore the bike with discharged battery (red light) to avoid deep discharge, which may cause it to
malfunction.
100%
In cases of extended 󰘵orage, recharge the battery at lea󰘵 every 3 months.
=
V / Hz
Always make sure that the battery and charger are compatible.
Do not use a di󰘯erent charger than the one supplied by DECATHLON for this bike model.
Using another charger may damage the battery or cause serious incidents (sparks or 󰘰re).
=
+100 V / 240 V
Always ensure the charger is compatible with the local electric grid:
voltage 100V, 240V maximum.
Do not use or 󰘵ore your bike with charging port open. Open the charging port cap only for charging.
Charge your battery indoors, in a dry environment at a temperature between +10°C and +40°C.
Under certain conditions, the charger may reach high temperatures.
Other mechanicals parts as disc brakes could reach high temperatures too.

15
Do not dispose of the battery in non-suitable containers. Return the used battery to your Decath-
lon 󰘵ore for recycling.
The battery of your bike is a dangerous good. Risks of electrocution and 󰘰re.
The bike should be handled with care (product is sensitive to impacts).
Never short-circuit the battery by connecting the positive and negative terminals or putting some
external object on the charging port. Risk of 󰘰re and electrocution!
Transport by aeroplane of your electric bike with its battery is prohibited.
Do not expose the bike to temperature above 50°C. Outside this range, battery life will be
a󰘯ected.

16
BIKE SAFETY INFORMATION
This bike is designed for road use only.
Others practices are inappropriate and prohibated
(Risk of accident and cancellation of the bike guarantee if you do not comply with this condition)

These electric bikes are designed for persons aged 14 and over.
Maximum permissible weight: 120kg in total (including accessories, user and bike - 14kg for the
E-EDR AF)
!
Caution: in rain, fro󰘵, or snow, you may have less tyre traction.
It is essential to 󰘵ore the bike in a dry, cool place (between +10°C and 25°C), out of sunlight,
even for a short break.
All electric components are designed to with󰘵and rain.
Do not immerse the bike or electric components in water.

17
MAINTENANCE
All maintenance of electrical components requires special skills and are dangerous. You are not
allowed to remove a electrical component by yourself.
!
All cleaning work mu󰘵 be done when bike is turned o󰘯, not plug to the charger and with charger
cap correctly close.
Prohibited: cleaning using a high-pressure jet.
Not recommended: cleaning under running water.
Recommended: cleaning using a damp sponge.
If the bike suers a fall, check the electric components.
If cable, button or frame is physically damaged, go to a DECATHLON workshop for an electric
te󰘵.
If the chain comes o󰘯, switch o󰘯 the power before carrying out any repairs.
To remove the rear wheel, you have to disconnect the motor cable. Be careful to respect the
connector plugging way (follow the arrow mark) and do not bend the motor cable.
We advise you to bring your electrically-assi󰘵ed bike back to your DECATHLON 󰘵ore for its
6-month service.
