for your first ride by selecting the lowest level of drive assistance!
Slowly approach the potential of your WHEELER pedelec in an area

including rider, baggage and pedelec. The maximum overall weight
is specified in your BionX system operating instructions; if it is not,
then contact your WHEELER bicycle dealer.
The weight distribution on pedelecs differs markedly from
the weight distribution on bicycles without drive assistance.
A pedelec is markedly heavier than a bicycle without drive
assistance. For this reason parking, pushing, lifting and
carrying the WHEELER pedelec is more difficult. Bear this
in mind when loading your pedelec into a car and unloading
it or when mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.
charged before you set off for the first time. Are you familiar with
the handling and mounting of the rechargeable battery? Before
you set off for the first time, check whether the battery is properly
mounted, that it has engaged audibly and that it is locked.
You can find further information in the chapter "inserting and re-
moving the battery" in your BionX system operating instructions.
Please note that the system switches itself off automatically
after 10 minutes without any actuation. You can find out
how to switch the system on again in the chapter "operat-
ing the bionX propulsion System" in your BionX system
operating instructions.

We recommend that you charge your battery only during
the day and only in dry rooms which have a smoke or a fire
detector; but not in your bedroom. Place the battery during
the charging process on a big, non-inflammable plate made
of ceramics or glass! Unplug the battery once it has been
charged up.
H
Charge your battery only with the supplied charger (d+e).
Do not use the charger of any other manufacturer, not even
when the connector of the charger matches your recharge-
able battery. The rechargeable battery can heat up, catch
fire or even explode!
H
Do not park your WHEELER pedelec in strong sunshine.

Be aware that the brakes of your WHEELER pedelec are al-
ways more effective than the drive. If you face any problems
with your drive (e.g. because it pushes you forward before a

When mounting your WHEELER pedelec, make sure not to
step on the pedals until you sit in the saddle and grip the
handlebars tightly, and that one pedal is at the lowest posi-
tion when you get on. The motor assistance might switch on
suddenly unexpectedly and result in an uncontrolled start of

Check with your insurers that the pedelec as well as the

covered by your household and fire insurance. Read the
