We recommend that you charge your battery
(a+b)
only
during the day and only in dry rooms which have a smoke
or a fire detector; but not in your bedroom. Place the bat-
tery during the charging process on a big, non-inflammable
plate made of ceramics or glass! Unplug the battery once it
has been charged up.
H
Charge your battery only with the supplied charger. Do not
use the charger of any other manufacturer, not even when
the connector of the charger matches your rechargeable
battery. The rechargeable battery can heat up, catch fire or
even explode!
H
Do not park your WHEELER pedelec in strong sunshine.
4. The functions of your pedelec are operated with the buttons of the
control element
(c)
on the handlebars. Are you familiar with all the
functions and displays?
Check whether you know the functions of all the buttons. You can
find further information in the chapter
“operating the bionx pro-
pulsion System”
in your BionX system operating instructions.
H
Be aware that the brakes of your WHEELER pedelec are al-
ways more effective than the drive. If you face any problems
with your drive (e.g. because it pushes you forward before a
turn), slow down your WHEELER pedelec carefully.
H
Pulling the brake lever of the rear brake stops the motor.
Emergency stop! However, if you have a front-mounted mo-
tor you must operate the front brake very carefully
(d)
.
H
When mounting your WHEELER pedelec, make sure not to
step on the pedals until you sit in the saddle and grip the
handlebars tightly, and that one pedal is at the lowest posi-
tion when you get on. The motor assistance might switch on
suddenly unexpectedly and result in an uncontrolled start of
your WHEELER pedelec.
danger of an accident!
U
Check with your insurers that the pedelec as well as the
storekeeping and the charging of lithium-ion batteries are
covered by your household and fire insurance. Read the
daily press to keep yourself informed about current legisla-
tive changes.
before every ride
Your WHEELER bicycle has undergone numerous tests during produc-
tion and a final check has been carried out by your WHEELER bicycle
dealer. Nevertheless, be sure to check the following points before every
ride to exclude any malfunctioning that may be due to the transport of
your WHEELER bicycle or to the work a third person may have per-
formed on your WHEELER bicycle before delivery:
1. Are the quick-release levers
(e)
and thru axles
(f)
of the front and
rear wheel properly closed and the bolts of the seat post and other
components accurately tightened?
You can find further information in the chapter
“how to use
Quick-releases and thru axles”
and in the instructions from
the parts manufacturers, which you can find on the enclosed CD.
2. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pres-
sure? The minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI)
(g)
is
indicated on the side of the tyre.
Note that the tyres of a WHEELER pedelec typically require some-
what more pressure than you are generally used to with your
mountain bike.
You can find further information in the chapter
“wheels and tyre
equipment”
and in the instructions from the parts manufacturers,
which you can find on the enclosed CD.
3. Spin the wheels to check for true running
(h).
Watch the gap be-
tween rim and brake pad or, in the case of wheels with disc brakes,
between frame and rim or tyre. Wheels which do not run true can
be an indication of tyres with ruptured sides or broken axles or
spokes.
You can find further information in the chapter
“wheels and tyre
equipment”
and in the instructions from the parts manufacturers,
which you can find on the enclosed CD.
