IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:

IMPORTANT:

 READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING:

 

Basic safety precautions should always be observed when 

using an electrical appliance to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or 
serious injury.

The term “eBike” throughout this manual refers to your Electrically Power  
Assisted Cycle.

Personal Safety:

• This eBike is intended for use as a commuter 

and leisure bicycle. Using the eBike for any 
other purpose may result in serious injury.

• Before you ride this eBike in a busy area or on 

public roads, practice riding in a safe area free 
from hazards. Take time to learn the eBike’s 
controls and power.

• It is your responsibility to identify and follow all 

local laws and regulations, including fitting your 
eBike with any additional equipment necessary 
to comply with local laws.

• Observe the applicable traffic regulations.
• At night your eBike MUST have white front and 

red rear lights lit. It MUST also be fitted with a 
red rear reflector and amber pedal reflectors 
which are both supplied.

• Never ride with no hands.
• Adopt a speed that reflects the terrain as well 

as your riding ability.

• Use designated cycle paths when not using 

public roads.

• When riding your eBike, wear close-fitting 

trousers, or use a bicycle clip. Loose clothing 
can get between moving parts and cause injury. 

• Wear bright and/or reflective clothing when 

cycling. 

• When riding your eBike, you should wear a 

bicycle helmet that conforms to  
current regulations.

• Your eBike saddle should be as close as 

possible to horizontal. Do not tilt the saddle 

backwards, as this can lead to back pain and 

physical injury. 

• Take care when loading your eBike into a car or 

when mounting it on a bicycle carrier.

• We DO NOT recommend that you use a bicycle 

trailer with your Gtech eBike.

• You can fit a standard fitment luggage carrier to 

your eBike. Please check with the manufacturer 

to make sure that a child seat can be safely 

attached to the luggage carrier.

 

eBike Safety:

• You must be over 14 to ride an eBike.
• The drive assist system is limited to a maximum 

continuous power rating of 0,25kW (250W) and 
a maximum speed of 25Km/h, (15.5 mph).

• Your eBike is designed for a maximum 

permitted overall weight (rider + l 
bicycle) of 126kg. The maximum permitted 
weight of the rider (85kg) plus luggage (25kg)  
is 110kg.

• Do not submerge your eBike in water.
• Be aware that the speed at which you are 

travelling may be faster than you are used to, 
especially when accelerating.

Electrical Safety:

• Only use batteries and chargers supplied by 

Gtech. 

• Never modify the charger in any way.
• The charger has been designed for a specific 

voltage, always check that the mains voltage is 
the same as that stated on the rating label.  
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery 
pack may create a risk of fire when used with 
another battery pack; never use the charger 
with another appliance or attempt to charge 
this product with another charger.

• Before use, check the charger cord for signs 

of damage or ageing. A damaged or entangled 
charger cord increases the risk of fire and 
electric shock.
