2. General information

Hermansen Copenhagen e-bikes are equipped with 

innovative technology. Even if you are an experienced 

rider, we strongly recommend you to attentively read 

and observe the instructions in this manual before 

riding your new e-bike. 

Please familiarise yourself with all components of your 

e-bike in the ‘Bike and components overview’ table 

on the previous page where the bike components 

referred to in this manual are identified. 

In this manual, a number of maintenance and 

repair tasks are described in detail. If you engage 

in this activity, you must always consider that the 

instructions are exclusively for Hermansen e-bikes 

and not transferable to other bikes. 

DANGER! 

Torque settings in this manual are 

specified in Nm. Do not rely on 

your feeling “tight” because this is 

simply not precise enough. ONLY 

a torque wrench can ensure that a 

bolt is properly tightened. You must 

always use this tool to tighten the 

components when a torque setting is 

specified. A bolt that is too tight or too 

loose can cause malfunctions which 

could lead to an accident with serious 

injuries as a result.

The content in this manual is subject to change or 

withdrawal without notice. We make every effort 

to ensure accuracy of its documentation and 

assumes no responsibility or liability if any errors or 

inaccuracies appear within. Please regularly visit 

our website www.hermansencph.com and check the 

download section to view and download the latest 

version of the manual.

Note that the first assembly and adjustment of your 

bike and subsequent service and maintenance 

requires special tools and technical expertise. If 

you are uncomfortable performing any of the listed 

tasks, please seek the assistance of a qualified bike 

mechanic. 

ATTENTION! 

Bike owners are responsible for assessing 

the way they use the e-bike at all times 

and should ensure that they take due care 

of their safety and welfare when riding, 

moving or carrying their e-bike. 

Before using your e-bike, carefully read the 

instructions in the supplied Electrical System Manual. 

It is vital you follow all the safety instructions.

For your own safety perform the quick check 

explained in chapter 9 before every ride. 

NOTE: Hermansen e-bikes are referred to in this manual as e-bike, bike, 

pedelec or EPAC, unless otherwise noted.

DANGER! This symbol indicates that life-threatening risks are possible if the 

corresponding instructions are not followed. Please read carefully.

ATTENTION! Here is a hint that will help you quickly become familiar with 

your e-bike and its technology.

TIP! This symbol indicates useful additional information

This symbol indicates that you must use a torque wrench and comply with 

the specified torque.
