In order to extend battery performance and lifespan, do not half charge, and adapt
your ride length to battery level.
•
The batteries' life will vary depending on where you ride it (inclines will reduce
power rapidly) and how you ride (assistance mode chosen). The greater the
assistance used, the more you'll use the battery and the shorter it will last. Do not
forget that your bike has gears; remember to use them accordingly relative to riding
conditions in order to extend battery life. The amount of weight carried also
impacts on battery life span. Extreme low temperatures can also impact battery
life span.
•
It is recommended that you charge the battery at least every 2 months when the
bike is not used; during winter, for example.
•
Store the battery in a dry place after having completely recharged it. Avoid extreme
temperatures (low and high) as they can damage the battery. Optimal operating
range: -10°C to 35°C.
Cleaning Your Pedal-Assisted Bike
Use a dedicated bicycle shampoo or soap with hot water to clean your bike (and different
components like the wheels, hubs, rims, brakes and pedals). Rinse well with clean water
before use. Do not use high pressure water jets to clean your bike, especially on the electrical
components (such as the battery), as it may result in short circuiting or system malfunctions.
Use a damp cloth with neutral detergent to clean the bike frame. Do not use any detergents
or cleaning liquids liable to deteriorate the frame or components.
Warning
Do not ride after taking drugs or alcohol or while using medication which might make you
drowsy. Pedal-assisted bicycles are not designed for 2 people. Do not ride double as these
bicycles are not designed to carry the additional load of a second rider. Do not put batteries
in normal waste bins. Dispose of used batteries in a certified recycling facility. Do not over
lubricate; if oil contacts the wheel rim, brake pads or brake disks, this will result in loss of
braking performance and an increase in stopping distances. This could potentially cause
loss of control, accidents and injury.
Transport
It is highly recommended that you do not overload your pedal-assisted bicycle as you could
damage the electrical components or cause malfunctions, like overheating of the battery or
the motor. Do not store the battery in excessively hot or cold places.
•
Maximum transport weight on the bicycle must not exceed 75kg.
•
Regularly check battery brackets and mountings.
•
Please wear a helmet when riding your pedal-assisted bicycle.
•
If a rack is not already fitted to your bicycle, please do not attempt to fit one
yourself.
•
Do not carry anything on the rack that might hide lights or reflectors.
Security
All the components and parts of your bicycle are subject to normal wear and fatigue.
Keep a close eye on any change in the shape or colour of a component, or traces of
oxidation (rust) on your bicycle. If this occurs, do not use the product until the component
has been replaced.
