Quick-start guide
DANGER
When riding your pedelec, make sure that you are completely familiar
with the starting characteristics of the vehicle before riding on public
roads with multiple lanes and footpaths. If the bicycles start suddenly,
this can cause accidents.
Do not pay excessive attention to the display while riding, as this can
lead to accidents.
5.1
Charging the battery
DANGER
Read and follow the information on the charger specification plate,
otherwise there is a risk of misuse resulting in serious injuries.
Damaged batteries must not be charged.
1. Connect the power cable to the battery charger.
2. Connect the charging cable to the charging socket on the top tube
(it clicks into place).

Nothing lasts forever, including your bike
WARNING
When the useful life of your bike or its components is over, continued
use is hazardous.
Every bike and its component parts have a finite, limited useful life. The
length of that life will vary with the construction and materials used in
the frame and components; the maintenance and care the frame and
components receive over their life; and the type and amount of use to
which the frame and components are subjected. Use in competitive events,
trick riding, ramp riding, jumping, aggressive riding, riding on severe
terrain, riding in severe climates, riding with heavy loads, commercial
activities and other types of non-standard use can dramatically shorten
the life of the frame and components. Any one or a combination of these
conditions may result in an unpredictable failure.
All aspects of use being identical, lightweight bikes and their components
will usually have a shorter life than heavier bikes and their components.
In selecting a lightweight bike or components you are making a tradeoff,
favoring the higher performance that comes with lighter weight over
longevity. So, if you choose lightweight, high performance equipment, be
sure to have it inspected frequently.
