• The product must be secured against
unauthorised operation by third parties by
attaching a bicycle lock and/or by removing
the rechargeable battery from the bike.
Danger to life!
• Never leave children unsupervised with the
packaging material. Risk of suffocation.
Risk of injury to children!
• Children may not play with the product. Warn
children specifically that the product is not a toy.
• Cleaning and user maintenance may not be
performed by children without supervision.
• When not in use, the product must be stored
out of the reach of children.
Risk of injury!
• The device can be used by children above the
age of 14 and by people with reduced physi-
cal, sensory, or mental capacities, or by those
lacking experience and knowledge provided
they are supervised or have been instructed in
the safe use of the device and understand the
risks involved.
• Children may not play with the device.
• This product is not a device manufactured in
accordance with medical requirements. To pre-
vent any interference with your pacemaker or
medical device it is imperative that you consult
your GP or the manufacturer of the medical
device in question before using the product.
• Pregnant women as well as persons with
disabilities, heart problems, or head, shoulder,
or neck complaints (or having had previous
operations on these parts of the body) should
not use this product. Contact your doctor
before using the product.
• Do not use the product after consuming
alcohol, sedatives, or psychotropic drugs that
could affect your powers of judgement.
• Always wear a bicycle helmet and other
appropriate protective equipment.
• Always wear shoes that can give you a prop-
er grip on the surface of the pedals, especially
also in wet weather.
• Before riding, check that brakes, lights, and
other safety-related parts are working properly.
• Make sure that frame size and operating
controls are adjusted to your body size.
• Do not make any adjustments to brakes while
riding.
• Do not ride with the rechargeable battery tak-
en out. The rechargeable battery serves as a
power source for the lights, which means that
riding with the rechargeable battery removed
affects how the lights work. Contravention con-
stitutes an administrative offence and can lead
to fines, loss of insurance cover, or accidents
or falls that result in injuries.
• The product is exposed to wear and heavy
loads. Different materials and components can
react in various different ways to wear or con-
tinuous loading. If the planned period of use of
a component is exceeded, it may suddenly fail
and thus possibly cause injury to the rider. Any
kind of cracks, scoring, or changes in the colour
of paint in heavily stressed areas indicates that
the component's period of use is coming to an
end and the component must then be replaced.
• Do not tamper with the maximum assistance
speed or the handling by changing the pa-
rameters. Tampering constitutes an administra-
tive offence and can lead to fines, loss of insur-
ance cover, or accidents or falls that result in
injuries. Furthermore, making changes of this
kind increases the wear on the drive system
and the components considerably. This also
makes all warranty claims and guarantees null
and void. Do not make any general changes
to components that affect the performance or
maximum assisted speed of your ride, espe-
cially not any that would increase them.
Risk of burns!
• After a ride do not touch the housing of the
power unit or the brakes with unprotected
hands or legs. Under extreme conditions – with
sustained high torques at low speeds or on as-
cents and when carrying loads, for instance –
temperatures in the housing and the brakes can
become very high.
Dangers from risky riding
behaviour!
• Be mindful not only of obstacles directly in front
of you but also those at a distance – unimpeded
vision contributes to safe use!
• When riding in a group keep a safe enough
distance from the other riders. This should
be a distance of at least one metre on all
sides from the other riders in order to avoid
accidents.
• Be considerate of other road users, walkers,
and children. Always assume that others may
be negligent. Never ride without lights when
it is dark!
• Never ride with no hands.
• Bear in mind that handling can be severely
affected when carrying an additional load.
• Never ride two-up on the product.
• Comply with all national road traffic laws and
regulations.
Assembly
Note: Figs. B-V serve as examples for all model
numbers.
Assembling the handlebar/
stem combination (fig. B)
The product comes delivered with the handle-
bar/stem combination (7) positioned parallel to
the frame (8) and is not ready to be ridden. As
delivered it comes with the screws (7a) loose.
1. Turn the handlebar/stem combination
clockwise 90°. Align frame, handlebar/stem
combination and front wheel (9) flush in one
alignment.
2. Tighten both screws (7a) with the aid of the
4mm Allen key (4).
Important: Observe the correct torques. All
torques are given in the section "Technical data".
Note: The steering head play is pre-set and
may not be adjusted.
The steering set screw (7b) is marked by a
sticker and may only be adjusted by a specialist
company.
Important: Check that the handlebar/stem
combination is securely seated by jamming
the front wheel between your legs and moving
the steering forcefully. The front wheel and the
handlebar/stem combination must stay in one
line as you do this.
Pedal assembly (fig. C)
Make sure that the pedals (3a, 3b) are threaded
in opposite directions. The left pedal (3a) is
identified by 3 grooves. Each side of the thread
is identified by an embossed L or an R. Both
pedals are also identified by a sticker (L/R).
1. Tighten the right pedal (3b) by hand in a
clockwise direction.
2. Tighten the pedal with the aid of the 6mm
Allen key (4).
Important: Observe the correct torques. All
torques are given in the section "Technical data".
3. Repeat the previous steps for the left pedal.
Note: The left pedal is tightened anticlockwise.
Adjusting the seat height (fig. D)
WARNING
Risk of injury!
An open quick-release lever (28) can lead to
heavy falls and injuries.
• Close the quick-release lever fully until it fits
tightly and tighten the knurled screw (28a).
1. Flip up the quick-release lever of the saddle
post with integrated rechargeable battery (14).
Note: The saddle post with integrated recharge-
able battery is lubricated. Please mind your
clothing!
Important: Do not extend the saddle post with
integrated rechargeable battery above the line
marked "MAX"! Otherwise the saddle post with
integrated rechargeable battery can no longer
be guaranteed to hold securely and frame
breaks or falls may result. The lock built into the
saddle clamp must be closed. It also limits the
maximum length of extension of the saddle post
with integrated rechargeable battery.
Note: The maximum insertion depth of the sad-
dle post with integrated rechargeable battery is
limited by the upper end stop and thus defines
the minimum height of the saddle (11).
2. Position the pedals (3a, 3b) at 6 and 12 o'clock.
3. Apply tensioning load to the knurled screw on
the quick-release lever and close the quick-re-
lease lever.
Important: Observe the correct torques. All
torques are given in the section "Technical data".
4. Sit down on the product. The saddle post with
integrated rechargeable battery is at the right
height when your knee is just slightly bent.
5. Check that you are correctly seated and repeat
the steps previously described if necessary.
Important: Check that the quick-release lever
is securely in position. Riding with the quick-re-
lease lever not properly closed can lead to falls
and serious injuries. The quick-release lever must
be closed with some considerable force to pre-
vent it from unintentionally coming loose while
riding at all times.
If it can be closed too easily, the knurled screw
on the opposite side to the quick-release lever
needs to be tightened a little.
The quick-release lever should now close with
somewhat greater resistance.
