SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General information
Please ensure you read the chapters “Before the
first ride” and “Before each ride” before using
the pedelec for the first time.
•
If you lend your pedelec to a third party,
please give them this operating manual
along with the pedelec.
•
Check that all quick releases are safe and
secure every time you ride, and after your
pedelec has been left unused, even for a
short period of time. Regularly check that all
bolts and components are secure.
•
Never ride with your hands off the handle-
bars, except when signaling a change of
direction.
When using this product, be sure to follow the
instructions given in the user manual.
•
It is recommended that you only use genu-
ine BAFANG parts.
•
The pedelec may suddenly fall over and
serious injury may occur if nuts and bolts are
left loosened, or the product is damaged or
improperly adjusted.
•
When performing maintenance operations
(replacing parts, for example), be sure to
wear goggles to protect your eyes.
•
Please refer to the manuals provided along
with the product for information uncovered
by this manual.
•
After reading the user manual carefully, keep
it in a safe place for later reference.
For your safety
Always apply the Pedelec’s brakes before
placing your foot on the pedal. The motor will
drive forward as soon as you push down the
pedal. This force may be unfamiliar and can lead
to falls, danger or even traffic accidents, which
could result in injury.
•
Do not pay too much attention to the cycle
display while riding, otherwise you may fall
off the pedelec.
•
Check that the wheels are securely attached
to the pedelec before you start riding. If
the wheels are not securely installed, the
pedelec may fall over and serious injury may
result.
•
When riding a pedal-assisted electric pe-
delec, make sure that you are fully familiar
with the starting characteristics of the
pedelec before riding it. If the pedelec starts
off suddenly, accidents may occur.
•
Make sure the pedelec's lights are on before
riding at night.
•
It is vital that all bolted connections on the
pedelec have the correct torque in order
to ensure that they are secure. An incor-
rect torque can damage the screw, nut or
component. Always use a torque spanner
to tighten screw joints. You are not able to
correctly tighten these bolted connections
without this specialist tool!
Installation and
Maintenance
It is vital that all bolted connections on the
pedelec have the correct torque in order to
ensure that they are secure. An incorrect torque
can damage the screw, nut or component.

Before performing any kind of work on your
Pedelec, turn off the electric motor unit and
remove the battery. Not doing so may result in
serious injury and/or electric shock.
The frequency of maintenance will vary
depending on riding conditions. Periodically
clean the chain using an appropriate chain
cleaner. Do not use alkaline or acidic cleaning
agents to remove rust under any circumstances.
If such cleaning agents are used, they may
damage the chain and serious injury may result.
