Load
The maximum load should not be exceeded. See information in the index of technical
details . By permitted load we mean the total load, including the load on the luggage
rack.
Make sure that the permitted load on the luggage rack is not exceeded.
Damaged or worn out parts
The replacement and repair of parts (frame, forks, illumination, brakes, drive
mechanism and the handle bars) should always be performed by a dealer. If not, the
guarantee ceases to be valid and you will be personally responsible in the event of
possible damage.
Specific safety parts should always be replaced by new parts!
Delivery inspection
Check the delivery immediately after receiving it.
In the event of damage or incomplete delivery we ask you to contact your dealer
immediately.
Adjustment of the bicycle
Before using the bicycle, adjust it to the measurements of the cyclist. This is of great
importance, especially the saddle and the handlebars.
If an optimal adjustment of the bicycle, as defined in the instructions, is not
possible, you can contact your dealer for a fitting solution.
The brakes are correctly adjusted as standard and can only be adjusted by the dealer
during periodic maintenance.

Saddle height
When the cyclist is sitting on the bicycle and
can put a foot on the pedal in the lowest
position, the saddle height is correct. Adjust
the saddle height in such a way that the leg is
stretched but relaxed in that position.
To adjust the saddle:
1. Open the quick-clamp [A].
2. Slide the saddle to the correct height.
3. Close the quick-clamp.
Make sure clothing cannot get
caught in the clamp!
If the clamp closes too easily, the
clamping force is too low. In this case,
open the clamp and tighten the nut (B)
a bit more. If a lot of force is necessary
to close the clamp, the nut should be
loosened slightly.
Do not pull out the saddle pin further than the
marking. The tube will not go into the shank deep
enough and will risk coming off. This can lead to
serious injuries.

Handle bar height
The height of the handle bars affects the
comfort of the ride. It determines the pressure
on the hands and the position of the back.
Determine your own most comfortable height
by using the bike.
To adjust the handle bars:
1. Slightly loosen the screw by using an Allen
key.
2. Slide the handle bars to the correct height
and tighten the screw very firmly again.
Do not pull out the handle bars further than the
mark. Otherwise the tube will not be deep enough in
the shaft and will risk coming off, which can lead to
serious injuries.
Position handle bars
You can tilt the handle bars. This influences
the distance from the handle bars to the upper
body. Determine your own most comfortable
position by using the bike.
To tilt the handle bars:
1. Slightly loosen the screws (A) and (B) with
an Allen key.
2. Put the handle bars in the desired position
and then tighten the screws considerably.
3. Slightly loosen screw (C) with an Allen key,
put the handle bars in the correct
(horizontal) position and then tighten the
screw again.
