Safety instructions
￭ The use of electronic components in a KTM EPAC may lead to additional hazards under certain
circumstances. You must therefore read all safety instructions and keep them in a safe place for
future reference. A failure to comply with the safety instructions can cause electric shocks, fire and/
or severe injuries.
￭ Do not make any modifications or changes, neither to the hardware nor to the software. This can cause
unpredictable, dangerous situations, accidents or falls that lead to injuries.
￭ Always charge the battery in a dry place and never close to easily flammable or combustible materials.
Also keep metallic/electrically conductive objects away from the battery of your EPAC, as they may
cause a short circuit if they touch the contacts of the battery and therefore increase the fire risk
considerably.
￭ Take care in connection with pacemakers and medical devices.
This EPAC has been tested according to all valid and mandatory standards for EPACs. Nonetheless, this EPAC is not a
special device that was manufactured according to medical requirements. In order to prevent possible malfunctions
of your pacemaker or medical device, please consult your attending specialist or the manufacturer of the individual
medical device before using the EPAC.
￭ Emitted sound pressure level
The A-weighted emission sound pressure level measured at the driver’s ears is less than 70 dB(A)
￭ Tuning
Tuning means measures that are intended to increase performance or to exceed the speed limits of pedal assistance
delivered by the individual drive system. This is achieved by changing the parameters or using retrofit tuning kits.
Modifications of this kind are neither permitted nor recommended due to the strict legal conditions. These laws are in
place to prevent dangerous situations. These modifications may also considerably increase wear on the drive system
and components.
￭ Do not ride the EPAC if the battery is dismantled
The battery is used to power the lighting, so driving with the battery removed will affect how the lighting works.
Failure to do so is an administrative offence and can lead to fines, loss of insurance or accidents and falls involving
injuries.
￭ Do not attempt to exceed the maximum pedal assist speed or modify the riding characteristics by manipulating
the parameters.
Manipulation is an administrative offence and can lead to fines, loss of insurance or accidents and falls involving
injuries. It would void all warranty and guarantee claims.
Particular care must be taken in the following situations due to the high torque of the drive system:
￭ Motor power may take effect abruptly when starting at a high support level. Avoid putting pressure on the pedals if
you are not seated properly on the bicycle or if you push off with one leg when setting off.
￭ Press the brakes for your own safety when getting onto the EPAC; this will prevent it from starting to move
unintentionally.
￭ Press the brakes for your own safety while the bicycle is stationary (waiting); this will prevent the EPAC from starting
to move unintentionally.
