serious injury.
The term “eBike” throughout this manual refers to your Electrically Power
Assisted Cycle.
Personal Safety:
• This eBike is intended for use as a commuter
and trekking bicycle. Using the eBike for any
other purpose may result in serious injury.
• Before you ride this eBike, practice riding in a
safe area free from hazards. Take time to learn
the eBike’s controls and performance. Practice
the controls and gain the experience necessary
to avoid any hazards you may encounter
while riding.
• It is your responsibility to identify and follow all
local laws and regulations, including tting your
eBike with any additional equipment necessary
to comply with local laws.
• Observe the applicable trafc regulations.
• At night your eBike MUST have white front and
red rear lights lit. It MUST also be tted with a
red rear reector and amber pedal reectors.
• Never ride with no hands.
• Adopt a speed that reects the terrain as well
as your riding ability.
• Use designated cycle paths when not using
public roads.
• When riding your eBike, wear
close-tting pants, or use a bicycle clip. Loose
clothing can get between moving parts and
cause serious injury.
• Wear clothing that attracts attention
when cycling.
• When riding your eBike, you should wear a
bicycle helmet that conforms to
current regulations.
• Your eBike saddle should be as close as
possible to horizontal. Do not tilt the saddle
backwards, as this can lead to pain and
physical injury.
• Take care when loading your eBike into a car or
when mounting it on a bicycle carrier.
• We DO NOT recommend that you use a bicycle
trailer with your Gtech eBike.
• You can t a Gtech approved luggage carrier to
your eBike. Please check with the manufacturer
to make sure that a child seat can be safely
attached to the luggage carrier.
eBike Safety:
• You must be over 14 to ride an eBike.
• The drive assist system is limited to a maximum
continuous power rating of 0,25kW (250W) and
a maximum speed of 25Km/h, (15.5 mph).
• Your eBike is designed for a maximum
permitted overall weight (rider + luggage +
bicycle) of 126kg. The maximum permitted
weight of the rider (85kg) plus luggage (25kg)
is 110kg.
• Do not submerge your eBike in water.
• Be aware that the speed at which you are
travelling may be faster than you are used to,
especially when starting off.
• Other road users may not realise that you
are on an eBike and that you are capable of
travelling at faster speeds.
Electrical Safety:
• Only use batteries and chargers supplied by
Gtech.
• Never modify the charger in any way.
• The charger has been designed for a specic
voltage, always check that the mains voltage
is the same as that stated on the rating plate.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of re when used with
another battery pack; never use the charger
with another appliance or attempt to charge
this product with another charger.
• Before use, check the charger cord for signs
of damage or ageing. A damaged or entangled
charger cord increases the risk of re and
electric shock.
