Using your power assisted bicycle
General handling instructions
Disconnect the power cord coupler
next to the hub motor before
proceeding to mechanical
adjustments, maintenance or before
shipping your bicycle with a transport
company.
Disconnect and remove the LCD
Controller unit when packing the
bicycle for travelling to prevent
damage to these components.
Power assisted bicycles are
considerably heavier than regular
bicycles, therefore you should take
extra caution before lifting your bicycle and use a
proper lifting technique in order to not hurt your
back.
If you are using a bicycle rack to
transport your power assisted bicycle
on your vehicle, make sure it can
support the bicycle’s weight.
Do not move your bicycle while the
battery is connected and charging to
prevent damage to the power cord
and connections.
Your bicycle’s ‘’Walk’’ mode is
designed to help you push your bicycle
uphill. See section ’Power assist mode
description’ to learn how to use this function.
Always advise shipping companies
that you are shipping dangerous
goods and follow their requirements
for packaging or ask your bicycle dealer on
recommendations regarding the packaging of
your battery for transport.
Never submerge the bike in water and
avoid washing it with a high-pressure
washer. Although it has been designed
to be water resistant, the battery’s shell is not fully
sealed.
Never attempt to modify or
disassemble the battery. This could
lead to serious injuries, cause serious
damage and will void the manufacturer’s
warranty. Only a qualified technician should
perform repair or maintenance on any parts of the
power assist system.
Only use genuine parts provided by the
manufacturer to charge the battery
and always follow the charging
instructions and warnings.
Do not place the bike near heat sources
or throw in fire.
To prevent battery leakage, do not
leave your bike under direct sunlight
for prolonged periods or inside a
vehicle on a hot day.
If a battery has suffered a strong
impact it may be damaged. You should
have it checked by a qualified dealer to
make sure it is safe to use before riding
your power assisted bicycle again.
Always respect the battery’s operating
temperature limits described in section
Components Technical Specs.
If the battery starts leaking, stop using
it immediately and contact a qualified
dealer for instructions.
