during the tour then the brake system must
be bled at a qualified specialist workshop.
i
Pressure point: each brake has a cer-
tain amount of free travel at the brake
lever. Once this free travel is overcome
with limited hand strength, the brakes
grip and the pressure point has been
reached. If the brake is correctly set and
bled, increased hand strength increases
the braking power with minimal brake
lever travel.
Brake system wear
The brake pads and brake discs wear as a
result of friction. The more often you ride
in mountainous terrain and through rain or
mud, the greater the wear.
The smart ebike brake system has fully
automatic brake pad compensation. This
balances out the brake pad wear and
ensures that the pressure point remains the
same always.
The wear on the brake pads (Y page 48) and
on the brake discs (Y page 48) cannot be
evaluated from the brake lever and must
therefore be checked before every tour
(Y page 48). Have worn brake pads
replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Bedding in new brake pads
New brake pads must be bedded in until they
reach their optimum deceleration per-
formance. To do this, accelerate your ebike
approx. 30 – 50 times to about 30 km/h
(19 mph) and brake to a standstill When the
required hand strength for braking no lon-
ger reduces then the bedding-in process is
completed.
Charging the battery
Important safety notes
G
DANGER
High voltage is used to charge the battery.
You could get an electric shock if the power
cable or mains socket is damaged, wet or
dirty. There is a risk of fatal injury.
R
Only use the charger supplied to charge
the battery.
R
Only use a dry charger.
R
Only use an undamaged power cable and
charger. Immediately replace a damaged
power cable and charger.
R
Before connecting the charger cable,
remove any foreign objects, such as dirt,
ice or snow, from the charge socket.
G
WARNING
Using a charger other than the one supplied
can cause the battery to overheat. There is
a risk of explosion.
Only use the charger supplied to charge the
battery.
G
WARNING
Deep battery discharge can cause an inter-
nal short circuit. The battery heats up to an
extremely high temperature. There is a risk
of fire.
R
Avoid deep battery discharge during use
as well as during storage.
R
When not in use, fully charge the battery
at regular intervals, and at least every
6 months.
R
Do not carry a deeply discharged battery
on the ebike.
R
Only use the battery for the smart ebike.
R
Do not expose the battery to storage tem-
peratures below -10 † (14 ‡) and above
45 † (113 ‡). Please note that tempera-
tures above 45 † (113 ‡) can occur around
heaters, in direct sunlight or in over-
heated vehicle interiors.
