IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE THE FIRST RIDE
Supplemental Product Information
The most important points for you to do
1. Even if you have ridden a bicycle for years, it is important for every person to read
the general “Bicycle Owner’s Manual” and the specific “E-Bike Owner’s Manual”
carefully before you ride on the new e-bike.
• Both manuals contain detailed information and useful suggestions about your new
bicycle.
• Make sure that you understand the proper use, maintenance, and disposal of the
components of the electrical system of your new e-bike.
2. Think about safety. Your safety and that of other road users is very important.
• Check your bicycle for normal operation, loose parts and defects before riding.
If you find any problem, visit your authorized bike shop for repairs before riding.
• Be aware that other road users (cars, trucks, motorcycles) do not expect that an
e-bike can ride faster than a normal bicycle. Riding faster also increases the risk of
accidents. Distances will close much faster, and braking distances will become longer.
• Do not ride abusively. Only ride in the use conditions specified for your bicycle.
Please refer to the Use conditions table in the general Bicycle Owner’s Manual.
3. The electric system of your new bicycle needs special attention.
• Do not clean your e-bike with a high pressure washer. Any electrical system is sensitive
to moisture. High pressure water might enter connectors or other parts of the electric
system.
• Do not allow a Li-Ion battery (separately or integrated in the down tube) to suffer any
mechanical or physical impacts or make any internal modifications.
In an extremely rare case, a battery that has been severely impacted or otherwise
mishandled could potentially catch fire. If you suspect damage to your battery, visit
your local authorized bike shop immediately for inspection.
4. Maintain the battery as instructed in this E-Bike Owner’s Manual.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to your battery and may require
battery replacement:
• Only charge the battery with the included charger.
• Charge the baery indoors or in a garage at room temperature to avoid exposure to
rain or wind.
• When you do not use the e-bike for an extended period of time, charge the baery to
approx. 30% to 60% before storage.
• Check the baery every 6 months and recharge it to approximately 30% to 60%.
• Once charging the battery is complete, unplug the battery from the charger and unplug
the charger from the wall socket.
