Remind to take out the bicycle rest before getting on the E-48. 3º How to stop or decrease the speed The assisting engine and the mechanical transmission are to be interrupted without pedalling and the brake levers shall be clamped to stop the E-48 and the assisting engine as well.
5.2 LCD DISPLAY FUNCTIONS Functions: • Actual speed • Total distance • Partial distance • Time • Power level • Battery level • Assisting instructions • Break-down • Screen light • Wheel size selector Figure 3 1. The button (1) is the one to get on or to get out Press the button to show the km, actual speed, assisting way, battery level and the power level on the screen.
In case to initiate again the system, wait some seconds to get it cold Code “02” indicates that the controller has got off by a strong intensity. If this code persists once the system has been initiated again, some part of the internal system or the controller may have been damaged.
• Correct position of the front and rear brakes: levers, V-brake, disc and cables. • Correct tight of the wheels nuts. • Correct pressure of the tires. • Correct wheels alignment. • Correct pedals fitting ( they shall be fitted strongly ). •...
• Do not watch the E-48 with any pressure water system. Avoid water entering into the bearings. Efficient pedalling : Get used to the right gear: The short gears (1,2,3) are for starting and on the slopes/ pending. The long gears (4,5,6,7) are for a quick ride and on the even routes. 8.

Be cautious before a long route Remember to bring a kit for repairing a flat tyre, such as a tube, the required tools and a pump. It is advisable to bring a tool for everything and a first-aid kit, in case of a long route. Use the brakes with precaution Keep a moderate distance with the other vehicles and other objects.
Many of the specific adjustments and general maintenance detailed in this manual can be done with Standard tools, which one may have at home. Nevertheless, we recommend to be carried out by a Monty official dealer who, in addition to the necessary expertise, will also have the tools needed for each item.

The seat post height must be proportional to the rider’s height Never extend the seat post...
9.1.2 HOW TO ADJUST THE QUICK RELEASE Quick releases clamp systems do not need tools, they are frequently used for seat stems, axles and folding systems. The quick releases consists of two principal parts which must be adjusted a) The blocking lever which applies the force and. b) The nut to adjust the lever’s strength.
Check once a month to ensure that the stem is aligned with the front wheel. Also check the joint between the stem and handlebar, trying to move the latter with respect to the front wheel. Check as well no cables to be stretched or pinched when moving the handlebar.
B. Chose the required inclination suitable to ones necessities. And verify the handlebar to be centred to the stem. C. Tighten the screws (3) clockwise . The recommended torque value is: 15Nm. ( Newton ) Figure 12 Adjustment of the stem inclination: A.
Figure 13 Figure 14 Adjustment of the headset alignment: A. To place the handlebar perpendicular to the front wheel. Loose lightly the screw (B) and the screws (C) alternately. B. Move the handlebar sideway to unblock it and place it properly. C.

The wheels ( rims and tires ) are an extremely important part of the E-48. Check the right pressure of the tires and their condition and the rim as well. This is to depend on riding conditions, ground contact, the braking system and safety in general. One should periodically check to make sure that the wheels are securely held, that they are centred and do not buckle when moving.
Rims Information of the rim wear and associated risks. As the rim surface is part of the braking system, it is to be wear down. Using a bicycle with worn rims implies a serious risk for the user. For this reason, please pay special attention to this component.
