Intended Use
Not every Pedelec can be used eve-
rywhere and for every purpose. Be-
fore riding, be sure to read the infor-
mation in the “Intended Use” section of the
original operating instructions. If you are not
clear about what type of Pedelec you have
and how it should be used, contact your spe-
cialist dealer or service partner.
Unpacking the Pedelec
The Pedelec is shipped in a special closed ship-
ping carton. Find a suitable space for performing
the assembly.
The vehicle has had lubricants ap-
plied at various locations. Always
wear appropriate clothing and per-
sonal protective equipment, such as suita-
ble gloves, when assembling.
The carton may be heavy.
1. Place the shipping carton upright on its bot-
tom side. This side can be found using the
printing on the cartons. Then open it on the
top.
Be careful; metal staples may have
been used to close the carton. Take
care not to injure yourself on these
staples.
The shipping carton also contains boxes of ac-
cessories containing:
• pedals with reectors mounted
• lighting system in accordance with the german
laws
• bell
• spoke reektors
• protectors for chainrings and spokes
• charging device for the battery
• all manuals
2. Lift the Pedelec and the box of accessories
carefully out of the shipping carton.
The vehicle may be heavy. Get help
from another person.
3. Check if your Pedelec has been damaged in
transport.
Dispose of the packaging material
properly and according to regula-
tions at an appropriate disposal site.
Operating Quick Releases and
Quick Release Axles
Quick releases are systems used in place of
bolted connections to attach parts to the Pe-
delec. They consist of two parts: the clamping
lever, which provides the necessary clamping
force, and the locking nut, which allows you to
regulate the clamping force. You can change the
setup of your quick release when the clamping
lever is open.
Quick releases should be closed
with the correct holding force. To
close the lever correctly, pressure
should be felt when it is half closed and, at
the end, the ball of the thumb needs to be
used to completely close it.
Loosening the adjusting nut
Tightening the adjusting nut
• All quick releases and quick re-
lease axles must be rmly closed
before you set o.
• Make sure all quick releases and quick re-
lease axles are securely and properly fas-
tened - even if the Pedelec has only been
left unattended for a short time.
• A closed quick release fastener must be
folded close to the frame, fork or seat post.
• In a closed state, the tip of the quick re-
lease lever must always be pointed back-
wards. This way, the quick release won’t
open during the ride.
Secure wheels or other parts of your
Pedelec that are attached with quick
releases when you park your bicycle.
In current chassis, quick release axles may be
used in place of quick releases or bolts. These
usually function like quick releases and must be
operated as such.
The axle is attached or screwed into the drop-
out and holds the hub between the two dropouts.
The hub and the axle may be fastened with a
quick release lever, which is operated just like a
normal quick release. Systems in which the axle
is only inserted or screwed in and then fastened
with a screw also exist.
