11. GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE USE
OF THE NYTRO DUST
The Nytro Dust bicycle can be used as a regular muscle-powered mountain bike by simply turning
off the motor. The behaviour without assist will be similar to what happens with a low battery
charge. The display continues to function even when the battery is low.
If you use the bike in unassisted mode with the battery removed, be sure to properly protect the
contacts and connections from dirt and moisture.
Nytro Dust bicycles are designed, engineered and manufactured to perform their intended
purpose. Any use other than the intended purpose could cause the bicycle to undergo sudden
stress and breakage, not covered by warranty.
DO NOT attach child seats or trailers or use the bicycle for towing.
The acceleration and speed of a pedal-assisted bicycle require different riding habits, so pay the
utmost attention during riding. We recommend that you practice, gradually familiarising yourself
with the thrust of the motor in different situations, preferably in a space that is known and free of
hazards.
Always use extreme caution when riding your Nytro Dust. Although the full
suspension will give you maximum grip and rideability, jumps and high speeds
on rough trails can lead to your bicycle breaking down, resulting in safety
hazards and injuries.
When using a pedelec, we particularly emphasise the following cautions:
• Do not mount the saddle with one foot on the pedal and the other leg over the saddle. This
action will trigger the pedal assist system, which could result in a fall.
• Before a curve, stop pedalling earlier than on a regular muscle-powered cycle. If you are
pedalling too late, the assistance system will continue to push you and you will enter the curve at
an excessive speed.
• Keep your pedalling fluid (the best frequency is at least 60 strokes per minute) and
manage the gear ratios as you would with a regular muscle-powered cycle, without giving in
to the temptation to let yourself be pulled along by the motor. This way you will achieve best
management of the motor and battery, making the most of the charge. The motor provides a
force proportional to the force exerted by the user, and when you pedal at a higher frequency to
achieve a particular speed, you will be exerting lower force, so then the motor will also provide
lower force, with less consumption of battery power, thereby increasing autonomy.
• Keep in mind that a pedelec can quietly reach high speeds. This can pose a danger to other
road users, so ride your pedelec responsibly.
FOR LONG RIDES
The autonomy of the cycle battery and therefore the distance that can be covered depend on
many factors, including:
• Type and conditions of route
• Total weight of rider and load
• Type of pedalling (see previous paragraph)
• Pedal assist level selected
• Wind
• Frequency of start-and-stop sequences
