Improper operation of the drive system and chang-
es made to the battery, charger or motor may re-
sult in injury or costly damage. In this case, the
manufacturer declines any liability for the damage
caused. Changes to the electric system may result
in criminal prosecution. This may be the case if the
maximum assisted speed is modified.
Your pedelec is supplied with the
corresponding operating manual for
the integrated drive from the com-
ponent manufacturer. For more information
about the bike’s operation, maintenance,
upkeep and technical data, read the instruc-
tion manual along with the websites for each
of the manufacturer’s parts.
Don’t let children who are unattend-
ed ride the pedelec without first
thoroughly instructing them on how
to use it. Explain to children the dangers of
using electrical devices. Do not allow chil-
dren to play near the product.
The pedelec is not intended for use
by persons (including
children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking the
required experience and knowledge, unless
supervised or having received instructions
concerning use of the product by a person
responsible for their safety.
This pedelec can be operated in the
rain. However, do not deliberately
immerse it in water.
When shipping the pedelec on a ve-
hicle exposed to rain, remove the
battery and store it in a safe place to
stop it from getting wet.
Your pedelec has a “pushing aid” function, where-
by it moves at up to 6 km/h without the need to
pedal yourself.
The pushing aid function works to
assist you if you, for example, have
to climb a steep ramp
from an underground car park or underpass.
Do not use it to ride the bike.
Both wheels must be on the ground
when using the pushing aid, otherwise
there is a danger of serious injury.
Switching the electrical system on and off
To switch the electrical system on, use the
on/off key on the external control unit (if
there is one) or the on/off key on the battery.
To turn it off, push and hold down the same key
until the system turns off.
