Basic Safety Tips Always pull the brakes and hold the handlebar firm and straight before taking off in order to make sure you keep control of the bike when power assistance is in action!

Safety notes concerning the battery • Keep the battery out of reach for children • Never try to open the battery.
Li-Ion batteries have the chemical property to create small amounts of gas if stored for a longer time period with 100% charge. This will affect the capacity and life time. From a technical point of view it is therefore better to store Li-Ion batteries not fully charged. Charging the battery You may charge the battery on the bike or remove it to a more convenient place. Li-Ion battery have no memory effect, this means you can top them up as you go 1.
Before starting to ride Adjust Seat height Open the quick release lever at the seat clamp, adjust seat height and close the lever firmly. If the lever is too loose, open the lever again and turn the adjusting nut clockwise till you feel resistance. Now close lever again. It should close with noticeable resistance. Never tighten the seat post if the maximum mark is visible, otherwise you can injure yourself or damage the seat post. How to find the correct saddle height? 1. Sit on bike saddle 2.
Mount or dismount front wheel For easy transport, you may remove the front wheel using the quick release at the front wheel axle (Only Tui and Falcon). To remove the wheel flip the lever into the open position. Now hold the lever and turn the bolt on the other side about 8-9 times to loosen the axle – do not remove the bolt! You should be now able to lift the wheel out of the fork. To mount the wheel repeat procedure the other way round. Guide the rotor in between the brake pads.
Operation • Turn the display on by pushing the (M) button • Select the desired assistance level with the (+) and (–) keys. The initial assistance level is 1 (Torque ECO mode). • Levels 4 to 8 are Pedal-Assist levels (4=low...8=high) • Use the throttle as desired to add additional power to the selected assistance • When finished riding keep the (M) button pressed for 2 sec to turn the electrics off Display functions Battery level: The display shows the battery level with 5 bars.
Integrated LED Lights: To turn the lights on or off push the (+) plus key for 2 sec to toggle the light function. The display is also backlit. Walk assistance: you can activate the motor to support you pushing the bike up a hill. Press and keep depressed the (-) minus button. After 2 seconds the motor will start with a maximum speed of 6kph (PAS level must be >0). USB Charge Port: to charge your phone you may open at the back of the display the USB charge port by removing the rubber plug.
Choose assistance level and gear according to your needs and riding style. Watch you crank revelations, if you have the feeling you have to push too hard at too low revelations, change to a lower gear. If you pedal very fast with less effort, choose a high gear or reduce the assistance level. When you intend to stop it is good practise to change the gears back to the 1st gear so you may start off without any problems.
Gears Our bikes use a solid and easy to maintain Shimano Altus gear system. It can happen after a while that gears do not perfectly change any more or you experience a rattling noise while pedalling. This is normal due to the nature of the used control wire hulls which get compressed over time. To re-adjust it is usually enough to slightly tighten the gear wire. For the rear derailleur turn (A) anti-clockwise while turning the pedals till the rattle goes away.

Failing can cause spoke breakage and will void the warranty Repairing a puncture With the motor in the rear wheel it is slightly more complex to replace a tire or tube.
Trouble shooting Problem Resolution Display is turned on, but motor Check brake levers – if one of the brake levers won't start (throttle or pedalis not in it's initial position the motor won't assist) work. Check motor plug at rear stay. Unplug once and plug back in (Allign arrows! Needs some force!) Take bike to your retailer for further checks. Battery is charged and properly If possible measure voltage at the battery fitted but display won't turn on connector (left and right pin).
Glossary BMS BMS is an electronic circuit for battery monitoring. It increases a battery pack's safety by making sure that all cells are operated within the permitted voltage range only. When current is too high, temperature is too high or one line of batteries inside the battery is outside the permitted voltage range the charge output will be switched off. This avoids total discharge of the battery during normal operation.
backwards movements of the crank. PAS does not consider how much effort the rider puts into riding. Torque Sensor By measuring the amount of force the rider applies to the pedals the torque sensor signals without any delay to the controller how much support the motor has to add. This creates are very responsive but at the same time smooth riding experience. Torque sensors are mostly placed in the crank, with or without the motor. They are more expensive to build than PAS sensors.
