Dear Customers,
Thank you for purchasing a B'TWIN electrically-assisted bike. It will introduce you
to the joys of travelling on 2 wheels for your leisure, it will be the most practical
and economical way for you to get around in town and will allow you to burn
calories to keep t.
We invite you to read this instruction manual to get the best out of your B'TWIN
electrically-assisted bike.
Never forget that an electrically-assisted bike is not a moped. It needs your help
to go further and faster for longer.
We suggest that you learn how to use your electrically-assisted bike in an open
area in order to get used to the feel of the motor kicking in and thus ensure
optimum control of your bicycle.
Only use sport mode for your rst kilometres if you are sure that you are able to
control your bike.
Here are the 10 commandments to get the best use of your B'TWIN electrically-
assisted bicycle.
1. "pedal or you won't go far"
The bike's range is closely linked to the energy produced by the cyclist. The motor
on the electrically-assisted bike is only there to supplement the force produced
by the cyclist.
2. "inatethetyresoryouwon'tgofar"
The bike's range is linked to the tyre pressure, like a car. If the tyre pressure is
insufcient, you will consume more than necessary and reduce your range.
3. "inatethetyresoryouwillgetapuncture"
Resistance to punctures is closely linked to the pressure in the tyres. An
electrically-assisted bike is heavier than a standard bike and is therefore even
more susceptible to punctures if the tyres are under-inated.
4. "thecolderitis,theshorterthedistanceyoucantravel"
The range of your battery is linked to the outside temperature. The range
displayed for an electrically-assisted bike is calculated based on an operating
temperature of between 20°C and 25°C. If the temperature is lower, the range
will be reduced.
5. "themoreweightthebikeiscarrying,theshorterthe
distanceyoucantravel"
The battery range is linked to the weight of the cyclist and/or the load on the
bicycle. Just as for a car, the more weight the vehicle is carrying, the more it
consumes. Your range will be reduced if your bike is extremely overloaded. The
ranges displayed are given for an overall load of 80 kg.
