Make particularly sure there is enough space between your

and the top tube so that you do not hurt yourself,
if you have to get off your pedelec quickly.

Please note that in wet conditions the brake performance is
less effective and the tyre grip is reduced. Keep this fact in
mind in particular when riding on a wet road and do not ride
as fast as you would in dry conditions.

Due to the specific intended use, some dirt bikes

fitted with only one brake. Do not ride these bikes on public
roads, but only on signposted tracks and lanes.

ADDITIoNAL INFoRMATIoN “BEFoRE YoUR FIRST RIDE”
WITH YoUR WHEELER PEDELEC
1. Have you ridden a pedelec
(e)
yet? Please note the particular riding
characteristics of this revolutionary hybrid drive concept. Set off
for your first ride by selecting the lowest level of drive assistance!
Slowly approach the potential of your WHEELER pedelec in an area
free of traffic.
You can find further information in the chapters
“useful tips for
riding a wheeler pedelec”
and
“riding a wheeler Speed
pedelec – Special features”
and in your BionX system operating
instructions.
2. Your WHEELER bicycle is designed for a maximum overall weight,
including rider, baggage and pedelec. The maximum overall weight
is specified in your BionX system operating instructions; if it is not,
then contact your WHEELER bicycle dealer.
H
The weight distribution on pedelecs differs markedly from
the weight distribution on bicycles without drive assistance.
A pedelec is markedly heavier than a bicycle without drive
assistance. For this reason parking, pushing, lifting and
carrying the WHEELER pedelec is more difficult. Bear this
in mind when loading your pedelec into a car and unloading
it or when mounting it on a bicycle carrier system.
3. The rechargeable battery
(f)
of your WHEELER pedelec must be
charged before you set off for the first time
(g)
. Are you famil-
iar with the handling and mounting of the rechargeable battery?
Before you set off for the first time, check whether the battery is
properly mounted, that it has engaged audibly and that it is locked.
You can find further information in the chapter
“inserting and re-
moving the battery”
in your BionX system operating instructions.
U
Please note that the system switches itself off automatically
after 10 minutes without any actuation
(h)
. You can find out
how to switch the system on again in the chapter
“operat-
ing the bionx propulsion System”
in your BionX system
operating instructions.
