WARNING The BionX power supply/charger should be used exclusively for BionX rechargeable batteries of the specified type. Keep the power supply or charger away from water or moisture when charging and/or connected to prevent electrical shock or short-circuits.
Assist Mode / Generate Mode / Mountain Mode (where applicable) english The BionX propulsion system offers four levels of assist in the Assistance mode, and four levels of regeneration in the Generate mode. In the Assistance mode, your pedaling is assisted proportionally by an electric motor that drives the rear wheel. A torque sensor is located on the axle of the BionX motor and measures the effort provided by the rider; this produces a natural feeling assistance from the motor.

In general, all settings of your BionX electric propulsion system are pre-set. Basic display functions can be set by entering the programming mode. Contact your dealer to customize the advanced functions of your system. We recommend the removal and installation of the rear wheel to be done by a qualified dealer.
english Optimizing the Range of the Battery The following factors influence the range of your battery: 1. Climbing Riding up steep hills requires much more energy than riding on flat ground. More effort, proper cadence, and/or a change to a more gradual route can greatly affect overall range. 2. Level of assistance Choose the level of assist required based on riding conditions, rather than just riding in one particular level all the time.
english CAUTION Never use a high pressure washer or a garden hose to clean the propulsion system. The force of a water jet could damage the electrical components of the propulsion system. We recommend a soft sponge or a soft brush to clean the bicycle. Use a moist rag to clean the battery docking station. Always use very little water, and keep water away from the electrical contacts. Check the plug-in connections for moisture after cleaning and let these dry, if necessary, before using the bicycle.
10. If the battery/cell pack does not provide full capacity in the course of normal use or for batteries going through a normal aging process or reduction of performance, BionX warranty only covers that within the two-year warranty period or within 500 charging cycles, whichever event occurs first, to the condition that the battery provides less than 70% of its initial capacity.
