Lighting
Information
If you are cycling without motorised assistance, you must
turn on the electrical system if the lights are to work.
The lights are turned on and off automatically by the light
sensor located in the top-left corner of the display.
Care and maintenance
Expected service life of
the bicycle and components
• The bicycle and its components are not indestructible
and will not last forever.
• If you subject your bicycle to great strains and
challenges, you should replace the bicycle or its
components more often than if you cycle under lighter
conditions.
• The expected service life of the bicycle and
components is determined by many different factors,
so it is not possible to state exactly when things should
be replaced. For example, a damp, coastal climate will
have a greater negative impact on the service life than
a dry, inland climate.
• See
Service and maintenance schedule
for instructions
on how to keep the bicycle in the best condition and
how to maximise its service life.
Battery
• Never store the battery in temperatures below 0 ºC as
there is a risk that this will cause permanent damage to
the battery.
• Avoid storing the battery in temperatures below 10 ºC
as this will reduce the capacity of the battery.
• Store the battery in a well-ventilated, cool and dry
location without exposure to direct sunlight.
• Batteries that are charged correctly and are well-looked
after will provide the bicycle with the greatest range.
Cleaning
Warning:
• Never wash any part of the bicycle with a pressure
washer.
• Never spray any water directly onto any of the bicycle’s
electrical components – they can be damaged by large
amounts of water, or pressurised water.
• Do not use solvents or strong chemicals on painted
surfaces, handgrips/levers or the saddle.
Important:
• Clean the bicycle as soon as it becomes dirty.
Keeping your bicycle clean is of critical importance
for the safety, performance and service life of its
components.
• Rinse your bike off with water from a garden hose.
Avoid spraying water directly onto electrical
components, wheel hubs, crank bearings and steering
bearings.
• Wash the bicycle with water and either car shampoo
or cleaning products developed for bicycles.
Use a sponge, or a soft brush or cloth.
• Apply bicycle de-greaser to the chain and sprockets,
or to any other parts that regular cleaning products
are not able to get clean. Use a brush, sponge or soft
cloth, and preferably a chain-wash for the chain.
• Rinse with water, and dry using a soft cloth.
1. Twist the gear
shifter backwards,
towards [ + ],
to change to
a higher gear.
2. Twist the gear
shifter forwards,
towards [ - ],
to change to
a lower gear.
Changing gear
Information
• You can change gear regardless of whether you are
coasting, pedalling or if the bicycle is stationary.
• You can switch through the gears one gear at a time,
or you can twist the shifter past several gears at a time.
• Your choice of gear at any particular moment will
depend on your strength and fitness, as well as
the resistance provided by the road surface and
incline, weather conditions, wind, etc. Generally
speaking, you should choose a lower gear for greater
rolling resistance. The lower the resistance, the higher
the gear.
