ADDITIoNAL INFoRMATIoN “AFTER AN ACCIDENT” WITH
YoUR BiXS PEDELEC
1. Check the rechargeable battery
(a)
. If the rechargeable battery is
no longer properly in its holder or shows any damage, do not use
your BiXS pedelec any longer, or at least, not in assistance mode.
Switch off the motor and the battery separately, if necessary. A
damaged battery can lead to a short-circuit or a sudden failure of
your BiXS pedelec assistance right at the moment when you need
it.
Damage to the outer housing of the rechargeable battery can result
in the entry of water or moisture and that can lead to short circuits
or electric shocks. The rechargeable battery could catch fire or
even explode! In such a case contact your BiXS bicycle dealer im-
mediately.
2. Check the display
(b)
. Are all the values displayed as usual?
Do not use your BiXS pedelec if the display shows an error mes-
sage or a warning. If necessary, switch off the system completely
and wait at least 10 seconds before checking it again.
Do not set off on your BiXS pedelec with drive assistance if the
control element shows a warning. In such a case contact your BiXS
bicycle dealer immediately.
You can find further information in the chapter
“operating the
bionx propulsion System”
in your BionX system operating in-
structions.
3. Let your BiXS pedelec bounce on the ground from a low height. If
there is any rattling, see where it comes from. Check the bearings,
the bolts and the proper seating of the battery and the connectors
(c+d)
, as necessary.
You can find further information in the chapter
“inserting and re-
moving the battery”
in your BionX system operating instructions.

QUICK-RELEASES
Most mountain bikes are fitted with quick-releases to ensure fast ad-
justments, assembly and disassembly. Be sure to check that all the
quick-releases are tight before you set off on your BiXS bicycle. Quick-
releases should be handled with the greatest care, as they directly af-
fect your safety.
Practise the proper use of quick-releases to avoid any accidents.
Quick-release mechanisms essentially consist of two operative ele-
ments:
1. The hand lever on one side of the hub which creates a clamping
force via a cam when you close it
(e)
.
2. The tightening nut on the other side of the hub with which the initial
tension on the threaded rod (quick-release axle) is set
(f)
.
G
Make sure that the levers of both wheel quick-releases
are always on the side opposite the chain drive. This will
help you to avoid accidentally mounting the front wheel the
wrong way round. In the case of bicycles with disc brakes
and quick-releases having a 5-mm-axle, it may be reason-
able to mount both quick-releases with the lever on the side
of the chain drive
(g)
. This would help you not to come into
contact with the rotor and prevent you from having your fin-
gers burnt. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
then contact your BiXS bicycle dealer.
G
Never ride your BiXS bicycle without having checked first
whether the wheels are securely fastened

an accident
!
G
Do not touch the rotor directly after having stopped – you
may burn your fingers! Always let the rotor cool down be-
fore opening the quick-release!
A
If your BiXS bicycle is equipped with quick-releases, be sure
to lock the wheels together with the frame to an immovable
object when you leave the bicycle outside.
