1 About these instructions
Read these operating instructions before
commissioning the bicycle to ensure you use all the
functions correctly and safely. The operating
instructions are not a substitute for personal
instruction by the supplying specialist dealer. The

bicycle. Therefore, if it is re-sold at a later time, they
must be handed over to the subsequent owner.
These operating instructions are mainly directed at the
rider and operator of the cycle. In general, they are
technical laypersons.
Staff at all specialist dealers have specialist training
and qualifications, and are therefore capable of
identifying risks and preventing hazards which may
arise during maintenance, servicing and repairs on the
bicycle. Information for specialist staff does not require
non-professionals to take any action.

2.4 Proper use
The bicycle is designed to support a maximum speed
of 25 km/h. The bicycle may only be used in a perfect,
fully functional condition.
National requirements may apply to the bicycle which
differ from the standard equipment. For riding on
public roads, some special regulations apply in
relation to driving light, reflectors and other
components.
The general laws and the regulations for the
prevention of accidents and environmental protection
in the respective country of use must be adhered to.
All check lists and instructions for actions in these
operating instructions must be met. Approved
accessories can be installed by specialist staff.
Each bicycle is assigned a bicycle type, which
determines its proper use and area of use.
2.4.1 City and trekking bicycle
City and trekking bicycles are designed for daily,
comfortable use. They are suitable for riding on public
roads.
Area of use:
Suitable for tarmacked and paved roads.

2.4.2 Folding bicycle
The folding bicycle is suitable for use on public roads.
A folding bicycle can be folded up and is thus suitable
for space-saving transportation, for example on public
transport or in a car. The folding function of the folding
bicycle makes it necessary to use smaller wheels and
longer brake cables and Bowden cables. Therefore, in
case of an increased load, a reduction in riding
stability and braking power, diminished comfort and
reduced durability are to be expected.
Area of use:
2.4.3 Carrier bicycle
The carrier bicycle is suitable for daily transportation
of loads on public roads. The transportation of loads
requires skill and physical fitness in order to balance
the additional weight. The very varied loading
conditions and weight distributions require special
practice and skill when braking and riding in bends.
The length of the bicycle, the width and the turning
circle require a longer period of adaptation. The carrier
bicycle requires cautious riding. You must pay
attention to the traffic on public roads and the
condition of the route accordingly.
Area of use:
Suitable for tarmacked and paved roads.
Suitable for tarmacked and paved roads.

Description
3.3.2 Suspension
Both forks and suspension forks are fitted in this model
series. A suspension fork is based either on a steel
spring or air suspension. Unlike a rigid fork, a
suspension fork has two functions which improve floor
contact and comfort: suspension and damping.
Figure 5: Bicycle without suspension (1) and with suspension (2) when
riding over an obstacle
The suspension prevents an impact, such as one
caused by a stone lying in the bike's path, from being
channelled directly into the rider's body via the fork.
The impact is absorbed by the suspension system
instead. This causes the suspension fork to compress.
The compression can be disabled so that a
suspension fork reacts like a rigid fork. The switch to
disable the fork is called a remote lockout.
After compressing, the suspension fork returns to its
original position. If there is a damper, it decelerates
movement, preventing the suspension system from
springing back in an uncontrolled manner and
stopping the fork from vibrating up and down.
Dampers which dampen compressive deflection
movements, i.e. a compression load, are called
compression dampers or compression dashpots.

On a bicycle with a disc brake, the brake disk is
screwed permanently to the hub of the wheel.
The brake lever is pulled to increase brake pressure.
The brake fluid is used to transfer pressure through
the brake lines to the cylinders in the brake caliper.
The braking force is boosted by a speed reduction and
applied to the brake linings. These apply the brake
disc mechanically. If the brake lever is pulled, the
brake linings are pressed against the brake disc, and
the movement of the wheel is decelerated until it
comes to a stop.

Description
The bicycle does not have a separate emergency stop
or emergency shut-off button. The drive system can be
stopped in case of emergency by removing the display.
The motor switches off automatically as soon as the
rider no longer pedals, the temperature is outside the
permitted range, there is an overload or the shut-off
speed of 25 km/h has been reached.
A push assist system can be activated. The speed
depends on the selected gear. The push assist system
continues to drive the bicycle at a slow speed as long
as the rider presses the push assist button on the
handlebars. The speed can be a maximum of 6 km/h in
this case. The drive stops when the plus button is
released.
3.5.1 Battery
The lithium ion battery has an internal electronic
protection circuit. It is matched to the charger and the
bicycle. The battery temperature is monitored at all
times. The battery is safeguarded against deep
discharge, overcharging, overheating and short
circuit. In case of a risk the battery is switched off
automatically by a protective circuit. If the electric
drive system is not used for about 10 minutes (e.g. the
bicycle is stationary) and no button has been pressed
on the display or the control panel, the electric drive
system and the battery are automatically switched off
to save energy.
The service life of the battery can be extended if it is
well cared for and, above all, stored at the correct
temperatures. Even if the battery is cared for properly,
the charge status of the battery reduces as it ages. If

5.3.4 Commissioning
Since initial commissioning of the bicycle requires
special tools and specialist knowledge, only trained
specialist staff may perform initial commissioning.
Experience has shown that a bicycle which has not yet
been sold, is spontaneously handed to consumers as
soon as it appears ready to ride.
For this reason, every bicycle must be prepared, so
that it is fully ready for use immediately after being
assembled.
Staff should work through the initial commissioning
check list to prepare the bicycle, so that it is ready
to ride.
Fire and explosion caused by incorrect charger
Batteries which are charged with an unsuitable
charger, may become internally damaged. This may
result in fire or an explosion.
Only ever use the battery with the supplied charger.
Mark the supplied charger and these operating
instructions clearly to prevent mix-ups – with the
bicycle frame number or type number, for example.

Before the fist ride
6 Before the fist ride
Only a correctly adjusted bicycle will guarantee you
the desired ride comfort and health-promoting activity.
Therefore adjust the saddle, the handlebars and the
suspension to your body and your preferred riding style
before the first ride.
6.1 Adjusting the saddle
6.1.1 Adjusting the saddle tilt
The saddle tilt must be adjusted to the seat height, the
saddle and handlebar position, and the saddle shape
to ensure an optimum fit. The seating position can be
optimised in this way if needed. First, readjust the
saddle after finding the handlebar position you prefer.
Crash due to incorrectly adjusted torques
If a screw is fastened too tightly, it may break. If a
screw is not fastened enough, it may loosen. This will
result in a crash and injuries.
Always observe the indicated torques on the screw
or in the operating instructions.

6.1.2 Determining the seat height
To determine the seat height safely, either push the
bicycle near to a wall, so that you can lean on the wall
to support yourself or ask another person to hold the
bicycle for you.
Climb onto the bicycle.
Place your heel on the pedal and extend your leg,
so that the pedal is at the lowest crank rotation
point.
The rider sits straight on the saddle if the seat is at
an optimum height. If this is not the case, you can
adjust the length of the seat post to your needs.

To close it, push the seat post clamping lever as far
as it will go into the seat post.
Check the clamping force of the quick releases.
6.1.4 Setting the height-adjustable seat post
When using your seat post for the first time, you
must give it a firm push downwards to set it in
motion. This is due to the natural tendency of the
seal to repel oil from the seal surface. You only
need to do this before the first use or after a longer
period of non-use. Once you have displaced the
post through its deflection, the oil spreads on the
seal and the post begins to function normally.
Crash caused by an excessively high seat post
setting
A seat post with is set too high will cause the seat post
or the frame to break. This will result in a crash and
injuries.
Do not pull the seat post out of the frame beyond
the minimum insertion depth marking.

6.1.5 Adjusting the seat position
The saddle can be shifted on the saddle frame. The
right horizontal position ensures an optimal leverage
position for legs. This prevents knee pain and painful
incorrect pelvis positions. If you have displaced the
saddle more than 10 mm, you then need to adjust the
saddle height again since both settings affect one
another.
To adjust the seat position safely, either push the
bicycle near to a wall, so that you can lean on the wall
to support yourself or ask another person to hold the
bicycle for you.
Climb onto the bicycle.
Place the pedals into the vertical position (3 o'clock
position) with your feet.
The rider is sitting in the optimal sitting position if
the knee cap perpendicular line runs through the
pedal axle. If the perpendicular line crosses behind
the pedal, bring the saddle forward. If the
perpendicular line crosses in front of the pedal,
bring the saddle back. Move the saddle within its
permitted displacement range only (marked on the
saddle stay).

6.4.1 Adjusting the negative deflection
Negative deflection is compression caused by the
rider's weight, including equipment (such as a
backpack), sitting position and frame geometry.
Each rider has a different weight and sitting position.
Negative deflection depends on the rider's position
and weight and should be between 15% and 30% of
the maximum fork deflection, depending on the bicycle
usage and preferences.
6.4.1.1 Adjusting the steel suspension fork negative
deflection
Alternative
You can adjust the fork by tensioning the spring to the
rider's weight and their preferred riding style. It is not
the coil spring hardness which is adjusted; it is its pre-
tensioning. This reduces the fork's negative deflection
when the rider sits on the bicycle.
Figure 47: Negative deflection setting wheel on the suspension fork crown

Before the fist ride
Only adjust the negative deflection when the bicycle is
stationary.
The setting wheel may be located under a plastic
cover on the suspension fork crown. Remove the
plastic cover by pulling it off upwards.
Turn the negative deflection setting wheel in a
clockwise direction to increase the spring pre-
tensioning.
Turn the negative deflection setting wheel in an
anti-clockwise direction to reduce it.
The ideal setting in relation to the weight of the rider
has been achieved when the shock absorber
deflects 3 mm under the stationary load of the rider.
If applicable, re-attach the plastic cover after
setting the suspension fork.
6.4.1.2 Adjusting the air suspension fork negative deflection
Alternative
The air chamber valve can be used to adjust the fork
suspension to the rider's weight and driving style.
Riding without filling pressure will destroy the wheel
suspension, the frame and the air suspension
elements.
Never ride without filling pressure in the air
suspension elements.
A normal air pump cannot build up the required
pressure with sufficient sensitivity.
Use a special damper pump to adjust the filling
pressure.

Adjusting the tyre pressure
The tyre pressure determines the force required to
press the fork together. If the tyre pressure is
reduced, the fork slackens more and rebounds
less.

Only adjust the tyre pressure when the bicycle is
stationary.
The air valve is located under a screw cap on the
head of the left shock absorber. Unscrew and
remove the screw cap.
Adjust the air pressure as an initial value using a
high-pressure damper pump and based on the tyre
pressure table on the fork and the rider's weight.

Crash caused by loose clothing
Laces, scarves and other loose items may become
entangled in the spokes on the wheels and the chain
drive. Such damage may cause you to fall from the
bicycle and injure yourself.
Wear sturdy footwear and close-fitting clothing.
Crash caused by soiling
Heavy soiling can impair the functions of the bicycle,
for example, the function of the brakes. Such damage
may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure
yourself.
Remove coarse soiling before riding.
Crash caused by poor road conditions
Loose objects, such as branches and twigs, may
become caught in the wheels and cause a crash with
injuries.
Be aware of the road conditions.
Ride slowly and brake in good time.
When riding downhill, high speeds may be reached.
The bicycle is only engineered for exceeding a speed
of 25 km/h briefly. In particular the tyres can fail if
exposed to a continuous load.
Decelerate the bicycle with the brakes if higher
speeds than 25 km/h are reached.
Heat or direct sunlight can cause the tyre pressure to
increase above the permitted maximum pressure. This

You can be ride the bicycle within a temperature range
between 5 °C and 35 °C. The effectiveness of the
drive system is restricted outside of this temperature
range.
Moisture penetrating at low temperatures may impair
individual bicycle functions due to the open structural
design.
Always keep the bicycle dry and free from frost.
Off-road riding subjects the joints in the arms to severe
strain. Take a break from riding every 30 to
90 minutes, depending on the condition of the roads.
Operation temperature 5 °C–35 °C
If the bicycle is to be used at temperatures below
3 °C, the specialist dealer must carry out an
inspection and prepare the bicycle for winter usage
first.

Operation
7.1 Before each ride
Crash caused by difficult-to-spot damage
If the bicycle topples over or you have a fall or an
accident, there may be difficult-to-spot damage to
components such as the brake system, quick releases
or frame. Such damage may cause you to fall from the
bicycle and injure yourself.
Take the bicycle out of service and have a specialist
dealer carry out an inspection.
Crash caused by material fatigue
Intensive use can cause material fatigue. A component
may suddenly fail in case of material fatigue. Such
damage may cause you to fall from the bicycle and
injure yourself.
Remove the bicycle from service immediately in
case of any signs of material fatigue. Have the
specialist dealer check the state.
Have the specialist dealer carry out a basic
inspection regularly. During the inspection, the
specialist dealer inspects the bicycle for any signs
of material fatigue on the frame, fork, suspension
element mountings (if there are any) and
components made of composite materials.
Carbon becomes brittle when exposed to heat
radiation such as heating. This can cause the carbon
part to break and result in a crash with injuries.
Never expose carbon parts to strong heat sources.

7.2 Check list before each ride
Check the bicycle before each ride.
Do not use the bicycle if there are any anomalies.
Check that the bicycle is complete.
Check that the lighting, reflector and brake, for instance, are
sufficiently clean.
You must check that the mudguards, the pannier rack and the
chain guard are securely installed.
Check that the front and rear wheels run true. This is particularly
important if the bicycle has been transported or secured with a
lock.
Check the valves and the tyre pressure. Adjust as necessary
before each ride.
If the bicycle has a hydraulic rim brake, check whether the
locking levers are fully closed in their final positions.
Check the front and rear wheel brakes to make sure that they
are working properly. To do so, operate the brake levers while
stationary in order to check whether resistance is generated in
the usual brake lever position. The brake must not lose any
brake fluid.
Check that the driving light is working.
Check for unusual noises, vibrations, smells, staining,
deformation, cracks, scores, abrasion and wear. This indicates
material fatigue.
Inspect suspension system for cracks, dents, bumps, parts or
leaking oil. Look at concealed sections on the bicycle's lower
surfaces.
Use body weight to compress suspension system. If it feels too
soft, adjust to the optimal sag setting.
If quick releases are used check them to make sure that they
are fully closed in their end position. If quick release axle
systems are used, make sure that all attachment screws are
tightened to the correct torque.
Be alert to any unusual operating sensations when braking,
pedalling or steering.

Raising the kickstand
Before the ride, raise the kickstand completely with
your foot.
Parking the bicycle
Before parking, lower the kickstand completely with
your foot.
Park the bicycle carefully and check that it is stable.
Crash caused by a lowered kickstand
The kickstand does not fold up automatically. There is
a risk of crashing if riding with the kickstand lowered.
Raise the kickstand completely before the ride.
The heavy weight of the bicycle may cause the
kickstand to sink into soft ground and the bicycle may
topple and crash over.
The bicycle must be parked on firm, level ground
only.
It is particularly important to check that the bicycle
is stable if it is equipped with accessories or loaded
with luggage.

7.4 Using the pannier rack
Crash caused by loaded pannier rack
The riding performance of the bicycle changes with a
loaded pannier rack, in particular when steering and
braking. This can lead to a loss of control. Such
damage may cause you to fall from the bicycle and
injure yourself.
You should practice how to use a loaded pannier
rack safely and reliably before using the bicycle in
public spaces.
Crash caused by unsecured luggage
Loose or unsecured objects on the pannier rack, e.g.
belts, may become caught in the rear wheel. Such
damage may cause you to fall from the bicycle and
injure yourself.
Objects which are fastened to the pannier rack may
cover the bicycle's reflectors and the driving light. The
bicycle may be overseen on public roads. Such
damage may cause you to fall from the bicycle and
injure yourself.

7.8 Gear shift
The selection of the appropriate gear is a prerequisite
for a physically comfortable ride and making sure that
the electric drive system functions properly. The ideal
pedalling frequency is between 70 and 80 revolutions
per minute.
It is advisable to stop pedalling briefly when
changing gears. This makes it easier to switch
gears and reduces wear on the drivetrain.
7.8.1 Selecting gears
The speed and range can be increased while applying
the same force if you select the right gear. A gear
recommendation is shown on the display to help you
select.
Figure 55: Display with high (2) and low (1) gear recommendation
If the gear recommendation is shown high, you
should shift to a higher gear with a lower pedalling
frequency.
If the gear recommendation is shown low, you
should shift to a lower gear with a higher pedalling
frequency.

7.8.3 Using a hub gear
Alternative
Crash caused by incorrect use
If the rider applies too much pressure on the pedals
during a gear change and activates the shifter or
changes several gears at a time, their feet may slip
from the pedals. The bicycle may flip over or fall, which
may cause injuries.
Switching down several gears to a low gear may cause
the twist grip outer sleeve to suddenly come off. This
will not have an adverse effect on the twist grip's
correct functioning since the outer guide returns to its
original position after the gear change is complete.
Apply little pressure on the pedals while changing
gears.
Never change more than one gear at a time.
The interior hub is not completely waterproof. If water gets
into the hub, it may rust and the gear switch function may
no longer function as a result.
Never use the bicycle in places where water may
get into the hub.
In rare cases, noises may be heard from the rear
derailleur in the hub interior after a gear change. This is
normal when gears are changed.
Do not detach the hub. If you need to detach it, contact
your dealer.

Crash caused by brake failure
Oil or lubricant on the brake disc in a disc brake or on
the rim of a rim brake can cause the brake to fail
completely. This may cause a crash with serious
injuries as a consequence.
Never allow oil or lubricant to come into contact with
the brake disc or brake linings or on the rim of a rim
brake.
If the brake linings have come into contact with oil
or lubricant, contact a dealer or a workshop to have
the components cleaned or replaced.
If the brakes are applied continuously for a long time
(e.g. while riding downhill for a long time), the fluid in
the brake system may heat up. This may create a
vapour bubble. This will cause air bubbles or any water
contained in the brake system to expand. This may
suddenly make the lever travel wider. This may cause
a crash with serious injuries.
Release the brake regularly when riding downhill for
a longer period of time.
Crash caused by wet conditions
The tyres may slip on wet roads. In wet conditions you
must also expect a longer braking distance. The
braking sensation differs from the usual sensation.
This can cause loss of control or a crash, which may
result in injuries.
Ride slowly and brake in good time.

Operation
Crash caused by incorrect use
Handling the brake improperly can lead to loss of
control or crashes, which may result in injuries.
Shift your body weight back and down as far as
possible.
Practise braking and emergency braking before the
bicycle is used in public spaces.
Never use the bicycle if you can feel no resistance
when pulling on the brake handle. Consult a
specialist dealer.
Crash after cleaning or storage
The brake system is not designed for use on a bicycle
which is placed on its side or turned upside down. The
brake may not function correctly as a result. This can
cause a crash, which may result in injuries.
If the bicycle is placed on its side or turned upside
down, apply the brake a couple of times before
setting off to ensure that it functions normally.
Never use the bicycle if it no longer brakes as
normal. Consult a specialist dealer.
Burns caused by heated brake
The brakes may become very hot during operation.
There is a risk of burns or fire in case of contact.
Never touch the components of the brake directly
after the ride.

The drive force of the motor is shut off during the ride
as soon as the rider no longer pedals. The drive
system does not switch off when braking.
In order to achieve optimum braking results, do not
pedal while braking.
7.9.1 Using the brake lever
Figure 58: Front (2) and rear (1) brake lever – example: Shimano brake
Pull the left brake lever for the front wheel brake and
the right lever for the rear wheel brake until the
desired speed is reached.
7.9.2 Using the back-pedal brake
Alternative
The best braking effect is achieved if the pedals are in
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position when braking. To
bridge the free travel between the riding movement
and the braking movement, it is recommendable to
pedal a little beyond the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock
position before you pedal in the opposite direction to
the direction of travel and start braking.
Pedal in the opposite direction to the direction of
travel until the desired speed has been reached.

Service the frame after cleaning.
Crash caused by brake failure
The braking effect may be unusually weak temporarily
after cleaning, servicing or repairing the bicycle. Such
damage may cause you to fall from the bicycle and
injure yourself.
Never apply care products or oil to the brake discs
or brake linings, or the braking surfaces on the rims.
After cleaning, servicing or repair, carry out a few
test brake applications.
Water may enter into the inside of the bearings if you
use a steam jet. The lubricant inside is diluted, the
friction increases and, as a result, the bearings are
destroyed in the long term.
Never clean the bicycle with a steam jet.
Greased parts, e.g. the seat post, the handlebars or
the stem, may no longer be safely and reliably
clamped.
Never apply grease or oil to the clamping areas.

8.2 Maintenance
The following maintenance measures must be carried
out regularly [ Check list, page 141]. They can be
carried out by the operator and rider. In case of any
doubt, consult the specialist dealer.
8.2.1 Wheel
Check the tyre wear.
Check the tyre pressure.
Check the rims for wear.
• The rims of a rim brake with invisible wear indicator
are worn as soon as the wear indicator becomes
visible in the area of the rim joint.

• The rims with visible wear indicator are worn as soon
as the black, all-round groove on the pad friction
surface becomes invisible. We recommend that you
also replace the rims with every second brake lining
replacement.
Check the tension of the spokes.
8.2.2 Brake system
Replace the brake linings on the disc brake when
the pad thickness has reached 0.5 mm.
8.2.3 Electrical cables and brake cables
Check all visible electrical cables and cables for
damage. If, for example, the sheathing is
compressed, the bicycle will need to be removed
from service until the cables have been replaced.
Check all electrical cables and cables to make sure
they are fully functional.
8.2.4 Gear shift
Check the gear shift and the shifter or the twist grip
setting and adjust it as necessary.
Crash due to brake failure
Worn brake discs and brake linings and a lack of
hydraulic fluid in the brake cable reduce the braking
power. Such damage may cause you to fall from the
bicycle and injure yourself.
Check the brake disc, brake linings and the
hydraulic brake system on a regular basis and
replace if necessary.

8.2.5 Stem
The stem and quick release system should be
inspected at regular intervals. The specialist dealer
should adjust them if necessary.
If the hexagon socket head screw is also loosened,
the headset backlash also needs to be adjusted.
Medium-strength thread locker, such as Loctite
blue, then needs to be applied to the loosened
screws and the screws tightened as per the
instructions.
Check for wear and signs of corrosion (maintain
with an oily cloth) and for oil leaks.
8.2.6 Checking the chain and belt tension
Check the chain or belt tension in three or four
positions, turning the crank a full revolution.
The ideal chain or belt tension has been achieved
if the chain or the belt can be pushed a maximum of
2 cm in the middle between the pinion and the
toothed wheel. The crank must also turn without
resistance.
Excessive chain or belt tension increases wear.
If the chain or belt tension is too low, there is a risk that
the chain or belt will slip off the chain wheels.
Check the chain and belt tension once a month.
NOTICE
If the chain or the belt can be pushed more than
2 cm, you need to have the chain or belt tensioned
again by the specialist dealer.
If the chain or the belt can only be pushed less than
1 cm, the chain or belt will need to be relieved of
tension accordingly.

9 Recycling and disposal
Risk of fire and explosion
The safety electronics on damaged or faulty batteries
may fail. The residual voltage can cause a short
circuit. The batteries may self-ignite and explode.
Remove batteries with external damage from
service immediately and never charge them.
If the battery becomes deformed or begins to
smoke, keep at a safe distance, disconnect the
power supply at the socket, and notify the fire
service immediately.
Never extinguish damaged batteries with water or
allow them to come into contact with water.
Faulty batteries are hazardous goods. Dispose of
faulty batteries properly and as quickly as possible.
Store in a dry place until disposal. Never store in
the vicinity of flammable substances.
Never open or repair the battery.
Chemical burns to the skin and eyes
Liquids and vapours may leak from damaged or faulty
batteries. They can irritate the airways and cause
burns.
Avoid contact with leaked liquids.
Immediately consult a doctor in case of contact with
the eyes or any discomfort.
In case of contact with the skin, rinse off
immediately with water.
Ventilate the room well.
