1 Basics
1.1 Reading and storing the user manual
Contrary to the official standard, EPACs (electric power-assisted cycles)
and S-EPACs (speed electric power-assisted cycles) are referred to below
as pedelecs (from “pedal electric cycle”) and S-pedelecs (from “speed
pedal electric cycle”) as these terms are in common use.
This user manual is a supplement. It assumes that you have read the
“Cycle” user manual. Read all the warnings and notes in this user manual
carefully before putting the pedelec or S-pedelec into operation.
This user manual is an integral part of the pedelec or S-pedelec.
Store this user manual carefully so that it is available at all times. If passing the
pedelec or S-pedelec on to a third party, include the user manual along with it.
Also refer to and follow the manuals enclosed with the pedelec/S-pedelec
drive system.
