9 Troubleshooting
10 Cleaning
Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.
Never use white spirits, thinners, acetone or
similar agents for cleaning. Non-neutral cleaning
agents can strip the paint and cause discoloura-
tion, deformation, scratches or defects. Also avoid
using abrasive or harsh cleaners.
Only use household cleaners and disinfectants
(isopropyl alcohol) or water. You can obtain suit-
able cleaning products and additional information
om your specialist cycle shop. We recommend
you clean your S-Pedelec with a damp cloth, a
sponge or a brush.
10.1 Battery
Make sure that water does not enter the battery when
cleaning. Although the electrical components are sealed,
it is not advisable to clean your bike with a hose or high-
pressure cleaner, as it could cause damage. When wiping
down the battery, be carel not to touch and connect the
contacts on the underside. This could cause the battery to
switch o. If the battery connections are dirty, clean them
with a clean, dry cloth.
10.2 Motor
The motor of your S-Pedelec should be cleaned regularly
to remove external dirt, ideally using a dry brush or a
damp (not wet) cloth. Do not use running water such as a
hose pipe or even a high-pressure cleaner.
The ingress of water can damage the motor, so ensure that
no uids or moisture enter the motor at any time during
cleaning.
Do not clean the motor when it is warm, e.g. immediately
aer a trip. Wait until it has cooled down. Otherwise, the
motor may be damaged.
If you remove the motor, e.g. for cleaning purposes, never
hold or carry it by the cables, as there is a risk that they
will break.
You can monitor and inuence the cost of your journeys
with the Pedelec yourself.
The Pedelec Impulse 2.0 Ooad with down tube
battery does not have this nction.
You can reduce your consumption and therefore costs by
following the tips for increasing the range.
The operating costs for power assist with an 11 Ah battery
are calculated as follows:
• A new battery costs roughly 599euros.
• You can cover approximately 80km with one bat-
tery charge.
• You can charge the battery roughly 1,100 times.
• 1,100 charging cycles x 80km = 88,000km.
• 599euros: 88,000km = 68cents / km
• You use roughly 0.565kWh to lly charge the bat-
tery. Assuming a unit price of 20cents / kWh, it
costs you 11.3cents to lly charge the battery.
• It costs you 14 cents to cover the average range of
80km.
• This means the cost of consumption and the bat-
tery is a maximum of 82cents / km.
This sample calculation is based on German energy prices.
The operating costs may therefore be dierent in locations
where other energy prices apply.
8.4 Warranty and service life
The Impulse centre motor is a durable maintenance-ee
drive. It is a wear part with a two-year warranty. The elec-
tric drive puts an additional strain on parts such as chain,
sprockets and brakes, causing increased wear, compared
to a normal bike.
