Be sure to use your BiXS bicycle only for its intended use,
as it may otherwise not withstand the stress and fail!

Make particularly sure there is enough space between your
crotch
(a)
and the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself,
if you have to get off your pedelec quickly.
G
Please note that in wet conditions the brake performance is
less effective and the tyre grip is reduced. Keep this fact in
mind in particular when riding on a wet road and do not ride
as fast as you would in dry conditions.

Due to the specific intended use, some dirt bikes
(b)
are
fitted with only one brake. Do not ride these bikes on public
roads, but only on signposted tracks and lanes.

A lack of practice when using clipless pedals or too much
spring tension in the mechanism can lead to a very firm
connection, from which you cannot quickly step out!

Before hitching a trailer

ADDITIoNAL INFoRMATIoN “BEFoRE YoUR FIRST RIDE”
WITH YoUR BiXS PEDELEC
1. Have you ridden a pedelec
(e)
yet? Please note the particular riding
characteristics of this revolutionary hybrid drive concept. Set off
for your first ride by selecting the lowest level of drive assistance!
Slowly approach the potential of your BiXS pedelec in an area free
of traffic.
You can find further information in the chapters
“useful tips for
riding a bixS pedelec”
and
“riding a bixS Speed pedelec
– Special features”
and in your BionX system operating instruc-
tions.
2. Your BiXS bicycle is designed for a maximum overall weight, in-
cluding rider, baggage and pedelec. The maximum overall weight
is specified in your BionX system operating instructions; if it is not,
then contact your BiXS bicycle dealer.
H
The weight distribution on pedelecs differs markedly from
the weight distribution on bicycles without drive assist-
ance. A pedelec is markedly heavier than a bicycle without
drive assistance. For this reason parking, pushing, lifting
and carrying the BiXS pedelec is more difficult. Bear this in
mind when loading your pedelec into a car and unloading it
or when mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.
3. The rechargeable battery
(f)
of your BiXS pedelec must be charged
before you set off for the first time
(g)
. Are you familiar with the
handling and mounting of the rechargeable battery? Before you set
off for the first time, check whether the battery is properly mount-
ed, that it has engaged audibly and that it is locked.
You can find further information in the chapter
“inserting and re-
moving the battery”
in your BionX system operating instructions.
U
Please note that the system switches itself off automatically
after 10 minutes without any actuation
(h)
. You can find out
how to switch the system on again in the chapter
“operat-
ing the bionx propulsion System”
in your BionX system
operating instructions.
