Before the fi rst ride

The following procedures have to be performed 

in addition to the tests described in the ‘’Before 

the fi rst ride’’ Chapter of the technical part of your 

operating instructions:

Check the important components of your 

Pedelec

•  Please check that the battery is secure.

•  Check the charging state of your battery to en-

sure suffi cient charge for the planned ride.

•  Check that all plugs and connections of the 

electrical system are fi rmly attached.

•  Familiarize yourself with the functions of the op-

erating panel.

Before starting out, it must be checked that all 

screws, quick releases and important compo-

nents  are  safely  and  correctly  fi tted.  A 

table with the most important screw con-

nections and the prescribed fastening 

torques as well as notes concerning the 

correct use of quick releases can be found at 

page 10 and 37

Possible positions of quick releases/through axles

Notes on electrical and electronic compo-

nents

Your pedelec is supplied with the corresponding 

operating manual for the integrated motor from 

the component manufacturer.

Information concerning operation, mainte-

nance and servicing as well as technical data 

can be found in these instructions and on the 

websites of the respective component manufac-

The electrical system of your Pedelec 

is very powerful. Correct and safe 

operation requires regular maintenance be 

a specialist dealer. Immediately remove the 

battery when you discover damage to the 

electrical system or, in particular, when live 

parts are exposed after a fall or accident.

Always contact your specialist dealer for re-

pairs and when you have a question or prob-

lems or discover a defect. A lack of specialist 

knowledge may lead to severe accidents and 

injuries.

Switch off the electrical system and 

remove the battery before carrying 

out any type of work on the Pedelec.
