2 About these instructions
Read these operating instructions before
commissioning the bicycle in order to use all the
functions correctly and safely. They are not a
substitute for personal training by the supplying
HERCULES specialist dealer. The operating
instructions are a component part of 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 user of the cycle. In general, they are
technical laypersons.
Staff at all HERCULES 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 technical laypersons to take any
action.

3 Safety
3.1 Requirements for the rider
If there are no legal requirements for the rider of
electrically power assisted cycles, we recommend that
the rider should be a minimum 15 years of age and
have experience with muscle-powered bicycles.
The physical and mental abilities of the rider must be
sufficient for the use of a muscle-powered bicycle.
If the bicycle is used by minors, as well as thorough
instruction to be provided by or in the presence of the
legal guardians, supervised use should also be
scheduled until there is certainty that the bicycle is
being used in accordance with these operating
instructions. The legal guardians hold sole
responsibility for determining whether minors are
suitable to use the bicycle.
3.2 Hazards for vulnerable groups
The battery and the charger must be kept out of the
reach of children.
3.3 Proper use
The bicycle must only be used in 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 running light, reflectors
and other components.

034-11471_1.1_11.10.2017 21
Safety
The general laws and the regulations for the
prevention of accidents and environmental protection
in the respective country of use must be adhered to.
Proper use also includes all instructions for actions
and check lists in these operating instructions.
Approved accessories can be installed by specialist
staff.
Each bicycle is assigned to a bicycle type which
determines the proper use.
3.3.1 City and trekking bicycle
City and trekking bicycles are designed for daily,
comfortable use on asphalted roads and paths. They
are suitable for riding on public roads.
City and trekking bicycles are not sports bicycles. If
used for sports, reduced riding stability and diminished
comfort are to be expected. City and trekking bicycles
are not suitable for riding off-road.
3.3.2 Folding bicycle
A folding bicycle is designed for use on asphalted
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.
A folding bicycle is not a touring bicycle or a sports
bicycle. 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.

3.4 Improper use
Failure to adhere to the proper use causes a risk of
personal injury and material damage. The bicycle is
not suitable for the following uses:
• riding with a damaged or incomplete bicycle,
• riding over steps,
• riding through deep water,
• lending the bicycle to untrained riders,
• carrying further passengers,
• riding with excessive luggage,
• riding with no hands,
• riding on ice and snow,
• improper servicing,
• improper repair,
• demanding areas of use, such as professional
competition, and
• stunt riding or acrobatics.
3.5 Personal protective equipment
We recommend that you wear a suitable safety
helmet. We also recommend that you wear typical,
close-fitting cycling clothing and sturdy footwear.

Safety
3.6 Duty of care
The safety of the bicycle can only be assured if all the
necessary measures are taken.
3.6.1 User
The user has the duty of care and responsibility for
scheduling these measures and checking that they are
implemented.
The user:
• makes these operating instructions available to the
rider for the duration of use of the bicycle. If
necessary, he translates the operating instructions
into a language which the rider understands.
• familiarises the rider with the functions of the bicycle
before the first ride. Only riders who have received
instruction must be allowed to ride the bicycle.
• instructs the rider on proper use and the wearing of
personal protective equipment.
• employs specialist staff only for maintenance and
repair of the bicycle.
The printed EC declaration of conformity in the
appendix is valid as long as the bicycle remains in
original condition. As soon as the user makes any
relevant modifications or additions, he legally
becomes the manufacturer. He must independently
guarantee compliance with the EC directives again in
order to:
• circulate the bicycle again,
• apply the CE marking and
• avoid compromising occupational safety.

4.3.2 Suspension
A suspension fork has two functions which improve the
floor contact and the comfort: the suspension and the
damping.
Figure 5: Bicycle without suspension (1) and with suspension (2) when
riding over an obstacle
21
The suspension prevents an impact, e.g. caused by a
stone lying in the way, from being directed directly into the
rider's body via the fork. Instead, it is absorbed by the
suspension system. This causes the suspension fork to
compress. The compression can be disabled so that a
suspension fork reacts like a rigid fork.

4.5 Electric drive system
The bicycle is driven by muscle power via the chain
drive. The force which is applied by pedalling in the
direction of travel, drives the front chain wheel. The
chain transmits the force onto the rear chain wheel and
then onto the rear wheel.

The bicycle does not have a separate emergency stop
or emergency shut-off button. The drive system with
removable display 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 pushing aid can be activated. The pushing aid
continues to drive the bicycle as long as the rider
pushes the plus button on the handlebars. The
maximum speed in the process is 6 km/h. The drive
stops when the plus button is released.
4.5.1 Battery
The lithium ion battery has an internal electronic
protection circuit. It is matched to the charger and the
bicycle. The temperature of the battery is monitored
constantly. 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. The battery also
switches to sleep mode for self-protection when not
used for a longer period.
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
the operating time is severely shortened after
charging, this is a sign that the battery is spent.

• the charger,
• the pedals,
• the operating instructions.
5.3.3 Commissioning
Given that initial commissioning of the bicycle requires
special tools and specialist knowledge, it must be
performed by trained specialist staff only.
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.
Every bicycle must be prepared so that it is in fully
usable condition immediately after being set up.
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.
To prevent mix-ups, mark the supplied charger and
these operating instructions clearly, for example
with the frame number or type number of the bicycle.

7.8 Brakes
Crash caused by incorrect use
Handling the brake improperly can lead to loss of
control or crashes, which may result in injuries.
Practise braking and emergency braking before the
bicycle is used in public spaces.
Shift your weight back and down as far as possible.
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.
Crash after cleaning, servicing or repair
After cleaning, servicing or repairing the bicycle, the
braking effect may be temporarily unusually weak. This
may result in a crash and injuries.
After cleaning, servicing or repair, carry out a few
test brake applications.
Burns caused by heated brake
The brakes may become very hot during operation.
There is a risk of burns in case of contact.
Never touch the components of the brake directly
after the ride.

Operation
7.9 Suspension and damping
7.9.1 Locking the front wheel suspension
When the fork lock is in the open position, the
suspension system has activated suspension and thus
provides the rider and the bicycle with relief. Riding
with the fork lock open should therefore be preferred
for everyday riding.
When riding downhill or at high speed, for instance,
the force which is exerted on the drive is absorbed by
the suspension system and reduced by up to 50%. In
these cases it is recommendable to close the
suspension fork.
The fork lock may be situated directly on the fork or on
the handlebars, depending on the version. Fork lock
on the suspension head

In order to lock the front wheel
suspension, shift the locking
lever to the LOCK position.
In order to release the front
wheel suspension, shift the

8.4.3 Adjusting the tyre pressure
8.4.3.1 Dunlop valve
Figure 31: Dunlop valve with union nut (1) and rim nut (2)
The tyre pressure cannot be measured on the simple
Dunlop valve. The tyre pressure is therefore measured
in the filling hose when pumping slowly with the bicycle
pump.
It is recommendable to use a bicycle pump with a
pressure gauge. The operating instructions for the
bicycle pump must be adhered to.
Unscrew and remove the valve cap.
Connect the bicycle pump.
Pump up the tyre slowly and pay attention to the
tyre pressure in the process.
The tyre pressure has been adjusted as per the
data [Data sheet, page 1].
If the tyre pressure is too high, unfasten the union
nut, let off air and tighten the union nut again.
Remove the bicycle pump.
Screw the valve cap tight.
Screw the rim nut gently against the rim with the
tips of your fingers.

8.4.5 Offsetting brake lining wear
8.4.5.1 Hydraulically operated rim brake
(Alternative equipment)
The setting bolt on the brake lever of the hydraulic rim
brake is used to offset the brake lining wear. If the
profile of the brake pads has a remaining depth of only
1 mm, the brake pads will need to be replaced.
In order to reduce the free travel and offset the
brake lining wear, screw the setting bolt in.
To increase the free travel, screw the setting bolt
out.
With the optimum setting the action point, i.e. the
point at which the brake takes effect, is reached
after 10 mm of empty travel.
