5 Some Notes on these Supplementary Instructions These operating instructions are not intended to help you assemble a CUBE EPO pedelec from individual components, to repair it or to make partly assembled CUBE EPO pedelecs ready-for-use! The diagram shows a CUBE EPO pedelec. These supplementary instructions are not applicable to any other than the displayed bicycle type.
6 Intended Use 2. Speed pedelecs or S-pedelecs are bicycles with auxiliary motor that provides assistance to the rider even beyond speeds of 25 kph/15 mph. Keep in mind that every bicycle type is built for a specific intended use. Be sure to use your CUBE EPO pedelec only according to its intended use, as it may otherwise not withstand the stress, fail and cause an accident with unforeseeable consequences! Using it for another than the intended use will also void the warranty.
7 Before Your First Ride 3. The rechargeable battery of your CUBE EPO pedelec (e) must be charged before you set off for the first time. Are you familiar with the handling and mounting of the rechargeable battery (f)? Before you set off for the first time, check whether the battery is properly mounted, that it has engaged audibly and that it is locked (g). For more information see chapter “Rechargeable Battery”. 1. The CUBE EPO pedelec is designed for a maximum overall weight of 140 kg.
8 7. Are both saddle and handlebars properly adjusted? The saddle should be set to a height from which you can just reach the pedal in its lowest position with your heel. Check whether your toes reach to the floor when you are sitting on the saddle (d). Your CUBE dealer will be pleased to help you, if you are not happy with your seating position. For more information see chapter “Adjusting and using your bike” of your general CUBE handbook.
9 For more information see chapters “Check suspension fork” and “Adjusting and using your bike” of your general CUBE handbook. Further instructions regarding suspension forks are possibly enclosed with these supplementary instructions. note that in wet conditions the brake performance g Please is less effective and the tyre grip reduced. Keep this fact in mind in particular when riding on a wet road and do not ride as fast as you would in dry conditions.
10 BEFORE EVERY RIDE 3. Is your battery fully charged? Keep in mind to entirely recharge the battery after every ride. You should not wait until the battery is empty! Your CUBE EPO pedelec has undergone numerous tests during production and a final check has been carried out by your CUBE dealer.
11 With disc brakes (g) you should directly get a positive braking response. If you have to actuate the brake lever more than once to get a positive braking response, have the CUBE EPO pedelec checked by your CUBE dealer. 6. Are the tyres in good condition and do they have sufficient pressure? The minimum and maximum pressure (in bar or PSI) is indicated on the tyre side (e). For more information see chapter “Check the wheels” of your general CUBE handbook and the enclosed operating instructions.
12 closed quick-releases and other fastenings can g Improperly cause components of the CUBE EPO pedelec to come loose and result in serious accidents! A lighting set (a) that corresponds to the regulations is a must on public roads. Turn on the lights as soon as dusk sets in. For more information see chapter “Check lighting system” of your general CUBE handbook (b).
13 After an Accident 2. Check that handlebars and stem are neither bent nor broken and that they are level and upright. Make sure the stem is firmly fixed on the fork by trying to turn the handlebars relative to the front wheel (f). Briefly lean on the brake levers to make sure the handlebars are firmly fixed in the stem. 1. Check whether the wheels are still firmly fixed in the drop-outs (e) and whether the rims are still centred with respect to the frame or fork.
14 For more information see chapter “How to Use the Pinhead®Locking System” as well as chapters “Using your bike” and “Operate the quick-release action” of your general CUBE handbook and the enclosed operating instructions. 3. Check whether the chain still runs on the chainrings and the sprockets. If your CUBE EPO pedelec fell over to the chain side, verify the proper functioning of the gears (a). Ask somebody to lift the CUBE EPO pedelec by the saddle and carefully shift through all the gears.
15 7. Check whether the values shown on the display are correct and complete (f). Do not use your CUBE EPO pedelec, if the display shows an error message or a warning. Back home you need to check your CUBE EPO pedelec thoroughly. The damaged parts must be repaired. Ask your CUBE dealer for help. Do not set off on your CUBE EPO pedelec when the display shows a warning. In such a case, contact your CUBE dealer immediately.
16 How to Use the Pinhead®-Locking System How to Fasten Components Securely with a Pinhead®-Locking System For easy adjusting or mounting and dismounting the rechargeable battery or the seat post (a) and the wheels (b+c) of your CUBE EPO pedelec are fitted with a so-called Pinhead®-locking system. At the same time the Pinhead®-locking system provides reliable theft protection for these components. The Pinhead®-locking system should be handled with greatest attention, as it directly affects your safety.
17 Riding a CUBE EPO Pedelec – Special Features Range Your CUBE EPO pedelec is designed to be used like a conventional bicycle. The unique riding experience, however, starts when you actuate the drive system. At that moment the assistance generated by the 250 W motor in the rear wheel hub increases the stronger you pedal. How long and how far you can benefit from the auxiliary drive depends on several factors, i.e.
18 a test ride to make yourself familiar with the riding g Do characteristics of your CUBE EPO pedelec and the possibly higher speed and acceleration, before riding on public note that car drivers and other road users may ung Please derestimate your speed. Therefore, always ride on public roads with this fact in mind and anticipate the actions of not step on the pedals before sitting in the saddle and g Do Be ready to select the lowest drive assistance “ECO” brake at any time when you set off .
19 Riding without Drive Assistance Observe the following points when riding without rechargeable battery: Your CUBE EPO pedelec is designed to be also used without drive assistance, i.e. like a conventional bicycle. • Switch on the display of your CUBE EPO pedelec, even when riding without drive assistance; the functions of your cycle computer are only then available.

30 Charging the Rechargeable Battery For more details in this regard also read chapter “Technical Specifications“. If you have any questions, contact your CUBE dealer. You need not necessarily remove the rechargeable battery from your CUBE EPO pedelec to charge it. You can charge the rechargeable battery directly on the CUBE EPO pedelec (a) or remove the rechargeable battery by opening the lock or the Pinhead®-locking system (b) and charge it in your home or garage.
31 • The rechargeable battery has reached its maximum capacity after about five discharge-charge cycles. • The rechargeable battery and the charger (g) are compatible. Don’t use another charger and another rechargeable battery or any supposed replacement units! • The rechargeable battery reaches its maximum service life, when charged with an ambient temperature between +10 and +30 degrees Celsius (50 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit). • The battery can be charged in any state of charge.
32 Do not charge any other electrical devices with the supg plied charger of your CUBE EPO pedelec! When you remove your seat post battery for charging it A from the seat post with your CUBE EPO pedelec left in the open during the charging process, you shold protect the A (a) seat tube e.g. with a plastic bag against rain, water, moisture and dirt (b). A If the rechargeable battery or the charger (or parts of it) must be replaced, only use original spare parts. Contact your CUBE dealer.
33 Battery Care The CUBE EPO Pedelec – Special Features Storing the Rechargeable Battery Remove the rechargeable battery (e), if you do not use the CUBE EPO pedelec for a longer period of time (e.g. during the winter season). Store the rechargeable battery in a dry room at temperatures between 5 and 20 degrees Celsius (41 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit). The state of charge should be 50 to 70 % of the charging capacity (equal 5 to 7 bars on the state of charge display on your display).
34 Wheels and Tyre Equipment – Tyre Puncture (rear) And there is no need to calibrate the measuring sensors after remounting the rear wheel. All torque measuring sensors are in the drive housing and accordingly protected against external influences. For detailed information about repairing a puncture see chapter “Wheels and tyres” of your your general CUBE handbook. Besides your Pinhead®-key you only need a replacement tube (a) or a puncture kit, two tyre levers and a pump (b).
35 Tyre Wear Wheel Mounting Mounting the wheel is done in the reverse order of dismounting. Make sure the wheel axle slides snugly with its surfaces into the drop-outs (e) without getting jammed. Tighten the Pinhead®-locking system (see chapter “How to Use the Pinhead®-Locking System”). Due to higher driving forces the tyre of the rear wheel can wear down faster than with a conventional bicycle. Therefore, check the tread depth regularly and replace a worn tyre in time.
36 Transport of the CUBE EPO Pedelec By Car A Make sure to remove all movable and loose parts and above all the rechargeable battery and the display from your CUBE EPO pedelec before transporting it inside or outside the car. When you remove your seat post battery from the seat post for transporting your CUBE EPO pedelec on the roof of a car, you shold protect the seat tube e.g. with a plastic bag against rain, water, moisture and dirt.
37 By Train / By Public Transport you start your trip inform yourself in time about the i Before conditions of carriage and also observe the regulations and rules about bicycle transport in the countries through CUBE EPO pedelecs (e+f) can be transported like conventional bicycles by public transport. which you intend to travel. In the cities the regulations for taking bicycles or pedelecs by public transport differ. There are e.g.
