by persons with limited physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, unless under the supervi-
sion of a responsible adult.

places.
• Avoid direct sunlight.

pedelec or one produced by the same man-
ufacturer.

could otherwise short circuit or cause a fire.

Drive unit

Your pedelec can be powered by a
mid-engine or a rear engine.
Keep in mind that the motor of your
pedelec can heat up during long up-
hill runs. Do not touch the motor, as
you may get burnt.
During operation, a quiet engine
sound can be perceived. This noise
may grow louder with increased
strain and is completely normal.
Note that if the road surface or
ground are slippery (due to rain,
snow, sand, etc.), there is a risk that
the drive wheel of your pedelec may skid
and slide.

Maintenance and care

Before performing any kind of work
on your pedelec, turn off the electric
unit and remove the battery. Not do-
ing so may result in serious injury and/or
electric shock.
Only perform operations described
in this manual. Do not
change the device. You should not
disassemble or open any modules. If in
doubt, always contact a specialist dealer.
Keep the all components of the
electrical system clean. Clean gen-
tly with a damp, soft
cloth. The components must not be im-
mersed in water or cleaned with a water jet
or steam jet. If the components are no
longer functional, contact your dealer.
The frequency of maintenance will
vary depending on riding condi-
tions. Periodically clean the chain
using an appropriate chain cleaner. Do not
use alkaline or acidic cleaning agents to re-
move rust under any circumstances. If such
cleaning agents are used, they may damage
the chain and serious injury may result.
Only have maintenance, repairs
and repair work carried out by qual-
ified personnel and only
with original spare parts. In case of a flat tire
or other technical problem, contact a quali-
fied professional to carry out the repairs.
• Open live parts should only be maintained
and cleaned at a specialist pedelec shop.
• Only replace parts of your pedelec with
original parts or parts approved by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, warranties or
guarantees may be voided.
