2.6.2 PEDALS ASSEMBLY Right Pedal: it is identified by the letter R marked on its pin. To assemble the pedal, screw it by turning the pin clockwise. (Figure 4) Left Pedal: it is identified by the letter L marked on its pin. To assemble the pedal, screw it by turning the pin counter- clockwise.
3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE BICYCLE 3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The pedal assisted bicycle is designed and built to be used outdoors, on roads and private or public environments. In par- ticular, the components and the type of pedal assisted bicycle allow you to tackle routes with asphalted surfaces or with similar characteristics without particular roughness.
3.3 BRAKE LEVERS The brake levers (Ref. F - Figure 5) are located on the handlebar of the pedal assisted bicycle, near the knobs (Ref. G-Fig- ure 5). These systems allow the braking system to be activated by controlling the movement of the pads until they come into contact with the wheel rim.
3.5 ASSISTANCE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT 3.5.1 Commands To manage the assistance system there is a controller on the left side of the handlebar. This device allows you to vary the level of assistance of the system, to view information regarding the route and the status of the battery. 3.5.2 Assistance levels To know the exact intensity of assistance, based on the selected value, see below.
3.7 WALK ASSISTANCE MODE The pedal assisted bicycle is equipped with the walking assistance function. This function allows you to move the bicycle more easily during manual movement in case you face small climbs. On flat routes it is useful for starting pedaling, up to a maximum speed of 6 km / h. To activate the aforementioned mode, turn on the assistance system using the appropriate “M”...
To remove the battery proceed as follows: 1. Insert the battery release key in the slot in the left front part of the luggage rack (Ref. 1 in Figure 8) and turn it counter- clockwise until the release click occurs; 2.
3.8.3 BATTERY CHARGING Recharging the battery of the pedal assisted bicycle can be carried out with the battery assembled on the vehicle or re- moved from it. In particular, proceed as follows: 1- Turn off the assistance system of the pedal-assisted bicycle using the appropriate button “M” (Ref. L - Figure 6); 2- Remove the battery in case you want to charge the battery separately;...
3.9 FRONT AND REAR LIGHT To ensure visibility both during the day and at night, two headlights are installed, one front (Figure 11) and one rear (Figure 12). These devices are activated by means of an on / off button (Ref.Q - Figures 11-12). To replace the batteries, remove the screw (Ref.
4. CONDITIONS OF USE AND INTENDED ENVIRONMENTS 4.1 INTENDED USE The pedal assisted bicycle is designed and built to be used outdoors, on roads and private or public environments. In par- ticular, the components and the type of pedal assisted bicycle allow you to tackle routes with asphalted surfaces or with similar characteristics without particular roughness.
4.3 IMPROPER USE AND CONTROINDICATIONS The actions described below, which obviously cannot cover the entire range of potential possibilities of “misuse” of the pedal assisted bicycle, are to be considered absolutely prohibited. FORBIDDEN OPERATIONS • The performance of prohibited operations invalidates the warranty. •...
5. LIFTING AND TRANSPORT 5.1 LIFTING The weight of the E - METRÒ model assisted pedal bicycle is such that it can be lifted and transported by one person, also due to its overall dimensions. The optimal solution for carrying out the movement is to grab a movable part of the handlebar and the rear of the saddle. CRUSHING AND IMPACT •...
6. COMMISSIONING 6.1 BATTERY CHARGE Before using the bicycle for the first time, the battery must be charged for at least 24 hours, using the special battery charger, supplied. The pedal assisted bicycle, model E - METRÒ, is equipped with an electric motor powered by a 37 V lithium-ion battery. The battery pack is housed in the rear part of the bicycle, under the luggage rack.
6.2 PRELIMINARY FUNCTIONAL CHECKS Before each use, the driver must check the safety status of the pedal assisted bicycle. Therefore, perform the following inspections before riding the pedal-assisted bicycle. 6.2.1 Control devices Check the efficiency and state of charge of the battery. Use in a very cold environment quickly degrades the efficiency of the battery.
6.2.4 Frame, handlebar and saddle position Check that the frame, saddle and handlebars are properly secured and positioned in the most comfortable configuration for the rider for complete control of the bike. Otherwise, before setting off, act on the position and saddle adjustment sys- tems.
6.2.5 Brake adjustment Adjust the brake lever to ensure a firm grip on the handlebar even when braking. To apply maximum braking power to the lever, the following adjustments can be made: - Rotate the brake lever using the tightening screw (Ref. U - Figure 16) until reaching a comfortable hand position. - Vary the stroke of the brake lever by acting on the adjuster (Ref.

7. USE OF BICYCLE The pedal assisted bicycle was designed and built for use in open places, with asphalt surfaces or the like, for amateur use. • It is forbidden to load a passenger other than the driver. • Can only be used by experienced adults and children. •...
7.1 USE OF BICYCLE Before using the pedal assisted bicycle in places open to traffic, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the behavior of the vehicle. The first uses must be made in private environments away from traffic, other cyclists or obstacles of any kind. The driver must adapt the travel speed of the pedal assisted bicycle to the conditions of the route and the presence of other vehicles or pedestrians.
8. MAINTENANCE 8.1 General features RISK OF INJURY During all maintenance work, follow the appropriate safety measures. In this regard, refer to the information on p. 10. All maintenance operations must be carried out with the battery disconnected from the pedal-assisted bicycle and from the bat- tery charger and the bicycle resting in a stable manner, using special support elements.
8.3 Weekly maintenance and checks 8.3.1 Washing and cleaning Cleaning the pedal assisted bicycle is not only a matter of decorum, but also allows you to immediately detect any defect in it. In order not to damage or compromise the functioning of the various components, especially the electrical parts, cleaning must be carried out taking certain precautions.
8.4 Monthly maintenance and checks 8.4.1 Control of circuits and electrical components Check the condition and fastening of the battery cables: the sheaths of the electric cables must be in good condition and the terminals must be well tightened, not corroded and covered with insulating grease. Check that all bulbs and warning lights are switched on correctly.
