Translation of the original operating instructions
If your battery has not enough capacity
[a]
to reach
your destination, benefit from the decisive advan-
tage of the hybrid concept of your Velo de Ville
EPAC: Without drive assistance you can ride it like a
conventional bicycle with an unlimited range and
nearly without loss of riding characteristics.
Danger
If your battery runs empty during the ride, do
not recharge the battery
[b]
with any charger,
even if it happens to be fitted with an identical
connector type. Risk of explosion
[c]
! Make it a
habit to charge your battery only with the sup-
plied charger.
Danger
Tuning, i.e. improvement in performance and
speed is not a trivial offence, but has far-reach-
ing consequences ranging from loss of insur-
ance cover, prohibition of use on public roads
and paths, to possible material failure due to
overload, see “Risks of pedelec/ e-bike 25 tun-
ing” in the chapter “Guidelines”.
Caution
In general, the batteries of Velo de Ville EPACs
have no memory effect. It is recommended
that you charge the battery after every long
ride. Avoid any deep discharge of the re-
chargeable battery.
Caution
Keep in mind that the battery of your
Velo de Ville EPAC shows signs of wear over the
years. This results in a continuous reduction of
the battery’s capacity and in a reduced range
compared to its state as new. After a certain
period of time the battery even needs to be
replaced.
Notice
Fully discharge your rechargeable battery
every three months and recharge it then im-
mediately. This calibrates the capacity indica-
tor and restores its accuracy.
Notice
Tips on how to exploit the battery’s capacity
to the maximum are given in the chapter “Use-
ful information for proper handling of the re-
chargeable battery”.
