Do not use your pedelec if you think
it may not be in perfect
condition. Have a specialist retailer
check your bike. It is particularly important if
you use your pedelec a lot, either for sports
or daily use, that you regularly have all the
important parts checked by a specialist re-
tailer.
Frame and fork, suspension components
and other parts relevant to your safety such
as brakes and wheels are subject to heavy
wear, which can impact the operating safety
of these parts. A component may unexpect-
edly begin to malfunction if you use it be-
yond its lifespan or recommended period of
use. This may lead to accidents and serious
injury.
Please make these checks before
continuing after an accident or if
your pedelec falls over. Aluminium
parts cannot be safely bent back into shape,
while carbon components can sustain dam-
age which is not recognizable to the eye.
Do not use your pedelec if you think it may
not be in perfect condition. Have it checked
and repaired by a specialist retailer.
If damaged, aluminium parts are non-repair-
able. Carbon components can sustain dam-
age which is not visible to the eye!

Riding a pedelec
Practice operating and riding your
pedelec in a quiet and safe place
before you take to public roads!
Please read all warnings and ad-
vice in this instruction manual care-
fully before using your pedelec.
Keep in mind that you are travelling
much faster on a pedelec than you
would on a bicycle without an electric
drive. Other road users may misjudge this.
Always squeeze the brakes of your
pedelec before placing a foot on the
pedal. The electric engine starts
working as soon as you begin to pedal. This
boost is surprising to begin with, and can
lead to falls or cause dangerous traffic acci-
dents and injury to occur.

• Staring at the display screen for too long while
cycling may result in you falling off or causing
an accident.
• When riding a pedelec, make sure that you are
fully familiar with the starting characteristics
of the pedelec before riding it. If the pedelec
starts off suddenly, accidents may occur.
• Neither the bike nor the drive may be tampered
with to increase the speed or performance of the
pedelec. The application of tuning kits or modify-
ing the gear transmission is not permitted.
How your pedelec works
The drive is activated as soon as you begin to
pedal. The amount of assistance depends on the
settings you have chosen. The drive unit turns off
as soon as you stop pedalling or reach maximum
speed (25 km / h). The assistance is automati-
cally reactivated as soon as the speed is below
the maximum assistance speed and you reapply
pressure to the pedal.
How to most efficiently use your pedelec engine:
• Always select the optimal gear and keep your
pedalling rate between 60 – 100 rpm.
• Start with the low gears.
• As soon as your pedalling rate becomes too
high, shift to the next higher gear.
• As soon as your pedalling rate becomes too
2
low, shift to the next lower gear.
• If your pedelec uses a hub gear, reduce your
pressure on the pedal before shifting gears.
