CAUTION
!
Crash caused by poor road conditions
Loose objects, such as branches and twigs, may
become caught in the wheels and cause a crash
with injuries.
 Be aware of the road conditions.
 Ride slowly and brake in good time.
Notice
Heat or direct sunlight can cause the tyre pressure
to increase above the permitted maximum
pressure. This can destroy the tyres.
 Never park the pedelec in the sun.
 On hot days, regularly check the tyre pressure
and adjust it as necessary.
When riding downhill, high speeds may be
reached. The pedelec is only designed to exceed
a speed of 25 km/h for short intervals. The tyres
in particular can fail if exposed to a continuous
load.
 Use the brakes to decelerate the pedelec
if you reach speeds greater than 25 km/h.
Notice
Moisture penetrating at low temperatures may
impair individual functions due to the open
structural design.
 Always keep the pedelec dry and free from
frost.
 If the pedelec is to be used at temperatures
below 3 °C, the specialist dealer must carry
out an inspection and prepare it for winter use.
Off-road riding subjects the joints in the arms to
severe strain.
 Take a break from riding every 30 to
90 minutes, depending on the road surface
conditions

Tips for a greater range

The pedelec's range depends on many
influencing factors. A single battery charge may
only last fewer than 20 kilometres but much more
than 100 is also possible. There are a few tips
which will generally help you maximize range.
Suspension elements
 Only open suspension fork and damper when
necessary on terrain or gravel paths. Block
suspension fork and damper on tarmacked
roads or on hills.
Pedalling frequency
 Ride using pedalling frequencies of over
50 revolutions per minute. This optimises the
electric drive's efficiency.
 Avoid pedalling very slowly.
Weight
 Minimise the total weight of pedelec and
baggage.
Stopping and starting
 Ride long distances at a constant speed.
 Avoid stopping and starting frequently.
Gear shift
 Use a low gear and a low level of assistance on
hills and when setting off.
 Switch up a gear depending on the speed and
terrain.
Tyre pressure
 Always use the maximum permitted tyre
pressure.
Battery and temperature
Electrical resistance increases as the temperature
drops. Battery performance is reduced. As a
result, you should expect the range to be shorter
than normal in winter.
 Use a thermal protection sleeve on the battery
in winter.
