Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an
ave.
Hybrid bicycle!
Your ave. Hybrid bike (pronounced ‘a-v-e’ advanced vehicle engineering) combines your own
performance with electric motor assistance - that's ‘hybrid’.
It is a pedal assisted electric cycle (Pedelec), this means power is only delivered whilst the rider
is cycling (ie pushing the pedals), up to a speed of 25 km/h or 15 mph. The extra electric power
increases your own driving force by 30 % up to 250 %. You will benefit from this ‘tailwind
support’ whenever you want, to master difficult routes, climb up the hills or run off-road.
We want to help you, to have enjoyable rides for long, therefore you should read these
operating manual carefully. When you start the first time, a few preparations have to be done.
Then follow the recommendations for riding, maintaining and keeping the safety guidelines.
And now, enjoy a ‘21
th
century biking’ exercise!
Your
ave. team
