Introduction
You have decided in favour of a Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle) - a bicycle that is
equipped with an electric motor to give you additional assistance when riding.
With this bicycle you can make better progress in headwinds, when
transporting heavy loads or on steep slopes.
You can select the level of power assistance required according to the weight of
your load and/or the prevailing road conditions, the effectiveness of the power
assistance depends on your pedal power and the level of assistance selected.
Before switching on the electric assistance system, please read the chapter
“Charging the battery”. The battery must be fully charged before you go for a
ride the first time.
Mode of operation and extent of electronic power assistance
As soon as you turn on the electric assistance system and begin pedalling or
twisting the throttle, electronic power assistance is available. Depending on the
selected assistance level the motor will add a certain amount of power to assist
you. The more you pedal on your own the less power the motor has to add,
which increases the all over range.
The pedal assistance does not measure your pedal effort, this means you can
relax when being exhausted and let the motor take over most of the work. Just
keep in mind that the battery will get sooner used up. An average rider can
easily reach on flat tracks up to 80km out of the standard 16Ah battery.
Levels of support
There are currently four support levels:
1 = 30%, 2 = 50%, 3 = 70%, 4 = 100%
With higher support the motor will reach also a higher speed.
What comes with the bike?
•240V mains charger
•LED handlebar mounted front light, battery operated
•A set of 2 keys for the battery and 2 keys for the battery frame lock
We recommend to mark the keys to better identify them as
they look similar. Keep one pair safe in case you lose a key.
We can provide blank keys for replacements. If both keys get
lost the lock has to be replaced.

Basic Safety Tips
Always pull the brakes and hold the handlebar firm and
straight before taking off in order to make sure you keep
control of the bike when power assistance is in action! NOTE
that power assistance is triggered off IMMEDIATELY as soon
as the crank moves slightly in riding direction. Also, keep in
mind that the right hand half-throttle is active. By pulling one
of the brakes the motor will be disengaged.

How to use your charger
To charge the battery your Volto comes with a 3Ah fast chargers. Please do not
use any other charger.
If you want to charge your battery from a car or motor home
(12V systems), NZEBIKES or your retailer can supply a special
charger called PowerBuddy for this purpose.
Before you first use the charger please read the following notes regarding
safety carefully!
•Keep the charger away from children!
•In order to prevent any possible injury this charger
should only be used for the original lithium battery
which is supplied together with the Volto e-bike
•Any other battery is not compatible and risks to explode
while charging, causing serious injury to people as well
as damage to other equipment
•Using this charger for batteries not supplied by Volto
could risk catching fire, provoke electric shock and/or
cause serious injury
•Please make sure that the charger is always kept dry
and does not get wet at any time.
Should there be an incidence of contact with water or any other liquid, make
sure to unplug the charger immediately from the power socket and have it
inspected by your dealer.
Make sure the charger is always placed on a flat surface when in use. Please

Ref (1)
make sure that the charger is always unplugged and removed from the power
socket when not in use.
Before using the charger, always make sure that the plug and the cables are
not damaged.
Never connect a damaged cable or plug to the power socket. Never try to
disassemble the charger. There are no serviceable parts in the charger.
Always unplug the charger before cleaning it. The charger should only be
cleaned with a dry cloth. Never use a wet cloth, oil or any other liquid. Only use

Safety notes concerning the battery
•Keep the battery out of reach for children
•Never try to open the battery. Apart from this being
dangerous, all warranty will be void
•Do not provoke a shortcut circuit with metal gadgets
•Remove the battery from the bike when transporting on
an external bike rack
•Do not dip the battery in water or any other liquid
•Do not keep the battery close to heat or open fire
•A battery needs to be re-cycled after use, never throw it
in an open fire as it could explode
•If the battery is damaged because it has been dropped
somewhere or because of a biking accident, there might
be a risk of an internal short-circuit
•Immediately stop using a damaged battery.
In order to maximise the use of this battery, please consider the following:
The battery will not charge when exposed to temperatures below +0°C or
above +60°C. It is therefore recommended to keep the battery at room
temperature before charging it.
The charger operates with a microcomputer system with automated control
functions. It automatically stops charging when the battery is full. It cannot be
damaged by overcharging.
None the less, we strongly recommend to always disconnect the power plug
from the wall socket after the battery is charged as power surges, i.e. lightning,
through the grid can damage the charger or battery electronics!
When storing the battery for a longer time period, (e.g. over winter) it is
important to place surface in a dry place. The battery should be re-charged
once every 3 month when it is not used. Negligence could lead to complete
discharge of the battery and this would void the warranty.
The discharging of the battery is due to chemical processes
which are taking place within the battery cells. How much a
battery discharges depends on the time it has not been used
and the temperature it has been exposed to. Thus, a re-
charge every 3 month, when not in use, is essential.

Charging the battery
You may charge the battery on the bike or remove it to a
more convenient place.
1. Flip the handle up and connect the charger plug to the battery
2. Connect the power cord to a mains socket
The charger will get warm while charging – do not cover while
in use as it might cause a malfunction.
How to remove and insert the battery
1. Removal: Unplug the motor power plug and if the battery is locked,
unlock the frame lock
2. Swivel the seat to the front and pull the battery with handle out of it's
rail.
3. Insert: Slide the battery into the battery rail, secure it in the frame with
the battery frame lock. Insert the motor power plug firmly.
A loose power plug can lead to power outages while riding
and may damage the contacts.
Before starting to ride
Adjust Seat height
Open the quick release lever at the seat clamp, adjust seat height and close the
lever firmly. If the lever is too loose, open the lever again and turn the
adjusting nut clockwise till you feel resistance. Now close lever again. It should
close with noticeable resistance.
Never tighten the seat post if the maximum mark is visible,
otherwise you can injure yourself or damage the seat post.

How to find the correct saddle height?
1. Sit on bike saddle
2. Try to reach pedal with your heel when it is in
the bottom position. Your knee should be
more or less fully straightened out
3. Place the ball of your foot on the centre of the
pedal. If your knee is now slightly bend, the
saddle height is correct
Adjusting the saddle angle
Best riding comfort is found when the saddle is horizontal, some riders prefer a
slight forward angled seat.
Never angle a seat backwards as it
can quickly lead to back pain or
physical injuries
1. Loosen the clamping nut on one side anti-
clockwise
2. Tilt the saddle to the required angle
3. Tighten the clamping nut clockwise. Make sure
that the nut it tightened firmly (20 NM)
Adjust the stem and handlebar
The models TUI and FALCON allow an
adjustment of the handlebar in terms of
angle, while the ROBIN has a height
adjustable stem.
To adjust the angle, which will raise or lower
the handlebar and changes also the distance
to the rider you have to loosen the 6mm
Allen Key screw. When the lock plate is
loose enough the handlebar angle can be
adjusted. Re-tighten the screw.
Adjust the tilt of the handlebar by opening
the handlebar clamp screw.
