riding a normal bike. The assistance from the motor
begins as soon as the cranks have completed about a
quarter of rotation.
Apply the brake before putting your foot on the
pedal.
You have assistance from the very first moment.
The assistance begins gradually. Practice start-
ing up in a safe location before venturing into the
road traffic.
Never ride with no hands! This poses an acute risk
of falling!
We recommend that you do not transport luggage
on the carrier, but in panniers at the side. Distrib-
ute the luggage evenly between the two panniers.
Put heavier items at the bottom, and lighter ones
at the top. This will make your ride safer.
The carrier is only approved for a maximum of 15
kg!
6 Battery
Your battery is a lithium-ion battery, the ideal type for
this application. One of the main benefits is its low weight
combined with a high capacity.
6.1 Charging the battery
You can charge the battery whilst it is on the Pedelec
➠
Chapter 5 “Quick start” .
Alternatively, you can take the battery out of its holder
and charge it in a separate location. This is recommended
if it is cold outside, in order to charge the battery in a
warmer room.
Condensation may form on the charger if the
temperature changes suddenly from cold to hot.
In case of condensation, wait approximately one
hour before connecting the charger to the mains,
until it has warmed up to the temperature of the
room. Ideally, avoid such situations by storing the
charger in the place where it is operated.
The battery can be charged at temperatures between 0°C
and 45°C. However, you can maximise a battery's service
life by charging it at an ambient temperature of between
+10°C and +30°C.
6.1.1 Removing the battery
1. Grip the battery by the handle, insert the key into
the lock and turn it anticlockwise. The battery is now
unlocked.
