2 Safety
2.1 General warnings
Risk of fire and explosion due to faulty battery
The safety electronics may fail if the battery is
damaged or faulty. The residual voltage can
cause a short circuit. The battery may self-ignite
and explode.
Remove batteries with external damage from
service immediately and never charge them.
Only operate the battery and accessories if
they are in perfect condition.
Only use batteries which are approved for use
on your pedelec.
Do not use the battery with defective
connecting cables or defective contacts.
Use the battery with BOSCH Systems
pedelecs only. This is the only way that the
battery will be protected from dangerous
overloading.
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 a damaged battery with
water or allow it to come into contact with
water.
If a battery is dropped or struck but shows no
signs of external damage, remove it from
service and observe it for at least 24 hours.
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.
Charge the battery before use. Only use the
charger included in the scope of delivery.
WARNING
!
Electric shock in case of damage
Damaged chargers, cables and plug connectors
increase the risk of electric shock.
Check the charger, cable and plug connector
before each use. Never use a damaged
charger.
Risk of fire and explosion due to short circuit
Small metal objects may jumper the electrical
connections of the battery. The battery may self-
ignite and explode.
Keep paper clips, screws, coins, keys and
other small parts away and do not insert them
into the battery.
Risk of fire and explosion due to incorrect
charger
Batteries which are recharged with an unsuitable
charger may become damaged internally. This
may result in fire or an explosion.
Only ever use the battery with the supplied
charger.
Mark the supplied charger clearly to prevent
mix-ups – with the pedelec frame number or
type number, for example.
Risk of fire and explosion due to penetration by
water
The battery is only protected from simple spray
water. Penetration by water can cause a short
circuit. The battery may self-ignite and explode.
Never immerse the battery in water.
If there is reason to believe that water may
have entered into the battery, the battery must
be removed from service.
CAUTION
!
MY20H06-2_1.0_26.08.2019 10
Safety
2.2 Toxic substances
Risk of fire and explosion due to high
temperatures
Excessively high temperatures will damage the
battery. The battery may self-ignite and explode.
Protect the battery against heat.
Never expose the battery to sustained direct
sunlight.
Fire caused by overheated charger
The charger heats up when charging the battery.
In case of insufficient cooling, this can result in
fire or burns to the hands.
Never use the charger on a highly flammable
surface (e.g. paper, carpet etc.).
Never cover the charger during the charging
process.
Never leave the battery unattended during
charging.
Electric shock caused by penetration by
water
If water penetrates into the charger, there is a risk
of electric shock.
Never charge the battery outdoors.
Notice
If you leave a key inserted when riding or
transporting the pedelec, it may break off or the
locking system may open accidentally.
Remove the key from the battery lock
immediately after use.
We recommend that you attach the key to a
key ring.
CAUTION
!
Intoxication from suspension oil
Suspension oil in the rear frame damper is toxic to
the touch, irritates respiratory tracts and causes
cancer, sterility and mutation in germ cells.
Never disassemble the rear frame damper.
Never allow suspension oil to come into
contact with the skin.
Chemical burns to the skin and eyes caused by
faulty battery
Liquids and vapours may leak from damaged or
faulty batteries. They can irritate the airways and
cause burns.
Avoid contact with leaked liquids.
Ventilate with fresh air and consult a doctor if
you suffer any pain or discomfort.
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.
Hazard for the environment due to leaking
brake fluid
The brake system contains a toxic, environmentally
harmful brake fluid. Such fluids will contaminate if
they enter the sewers or groundwater.
The brake system must be repaired
immediately if brake fluid leaks out. Contact
your specialist dealer about repair.
Dispose of leaking brake fluid in an
environmentally responsible way in
accordance with statutory regulations. Ask a
specialist dealer for more information.

3.1.1.1 Valve
Each wheel has a valve. It is used to fill the tyre
with air. There is a valve cap on each valve. The
screw-on valve cap keeps out dust and dirt.
The pedelec either has a conventional Dunlop
valve, a Presta valve or a Schrader valve.
3.1.2 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 4: Pedelec 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.
Dampers which dampen rebound deflection
movements, i.e. a rebound load, are called
rebound dampers or dashpots.

3.1.3 Brake system
The pedelec's brake system comprises either a
hydraulic:
• rim brake on the front and rear wheels
• disc brake on the front and rear wheels or
• a rim brake on the front and rear wheels and an
additional back-pedal brake.
The mechanical brakes are used as an
emergency stop system and bring the pedelec to
a halt quickly and safely in the event of an
emergency.

4 Front wheel brake disc
5 Rear wheel brake disc
On a pedelec with a disc brake, the brake disc is
screwed permanently to the wheel hub.
The brake lever is pushed to increase brake
pressure. The brake fluid is used to transfer
pressure through the brake lines to the cylinders
in the brake calliper. 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 pushed, the brake linings are
pressed against the brake disc and the wheel
movement is decelerated until it comes to a stop.

ABS is an added function in some pedelecs.
The rear wheel brake function does not depend on
the anti-blocking system functioning correctly.
When the brakes are applied, the ABS function
detects critical slippage thanks to the wheel speed
sensors on the front and rear wheels and limits
slippage on the front wheel by reducing brake
pressure there, thus stabilising the wheel. Once
the wheel has been stabilised, the wheel is
brought to the blocking limit again by building up
pressure selectively.
The lever moves a little more towards the
handlebars with each brake impulse during this
process. If the wheel blocks again, the pressure is
reduced again. This process is repeated to keep
the wheel at its limit of traction, thus making
optimum use of the coefficient of friction between
the tyres and the road surface.
The ABS function terminates when one of the
following events occurs:
• The buffer chamber in the ABS control unit is filled
completely.
• The pedelec has come to a halt.
• The rider releases the brake.
Besides the ABS function itself, the unit also
includes a system to detect when the rear wheel
is raised during full braking. This enables the rider
to counteract a potential flip-over caused by
extremely hard brake manoeuvres to a certain
extent.
If the battery level falls below a specified
threshold, the system deactivates the power
assistance first. The system will still remain
active, including the display, lights and ABS, until
the battery reserve is also used up. The electric
drive system and, consequently, the ABS will not
switch off until the battery has almost fully
discharged.
The indicator lamp lights up for about 5 seconds
before the system switches off completely. The
ABS indicator lamp will then go out, even though
the ABS control system is not available. The ABS
is not active if there is no battery on the pedelec
or its battery is empty.
The brake system itself remains functional. It is
only the anti-blocking system control which no
longer operates.

Overview
3.1.4 Electric drive system
The pedelec is driven by muscle power applied to
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.
Figure 14: Diagram of mechanical drive system
1 Direction of travel
2 Chain

5 Pedal
The pedelec also has an integrated electric drive
system. The electric drive system is made up of
5 components:

2 Bottom-bracket gears
3Drive unit
4Rechargeable battery
5 A charger designed for the battery.
3.1.5 Drive unit
Figure 16: Drive unit
As soon as the required muscle power from the
rider pedalling passes a certain level, the motor is
activated gently and assists the pedalling motion
of the rider. The motor force is determined by the
set level of assistance. The system performance
is determined using the pedal assistance settings
on the control panel.
The pedelec does not have a separate emergency
stop or emergency shut-off button. 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.
When you step on the pedals again and the speed
drops below 25 km/h, the system starts again
A push assist system can be activated. The speed
depends on the selected gear. The rider slows the
pedelec down to their own pace by holding the
pedelec firmly while pushing.

3 Battery level indicator (battery)
The lithium ion battery has an internal electronic
protection circuit. The battery is specifically
designed for the charger and pedelec motor. The
battery temperature is monitored at all times. The
battery is protected against deep discharge,
overcharging, overheating and short circuit. In the
event of a hazard, a protective circuit switches the
battery off automatically. If the pedelec has not
been moved for 10 hours and no button has been
pressed on the control panel, the electric drive
system and the battery automatically switch off to
save energy. The same applies if the battery level
falls below 30%, the pedelec has not been moved
for 3 hours and no button has been pressed on the
control panel.
The battery's service life can be extended if it is
well maintained and, above all, stored at the
correct temperatures. The charging capacity will
decrease with age, even if the battery is
maintained properly. If the operating time is
severely shortened after charging, this is a sign
that battery has reached the end of its useful life.
When the battery is switched on, the battery level
indicator shows the start animation. The LEDs
then briefly indicate the charge level of the
battery.
If the battery is switched on, the charge level can
be queried by briefly pressing the On-Off button.

3.3 Proper use
The pedelec must only be used in perfect, fully
functional condition. National requirements may
apply to the pedelec which the standard
equipment may not meet. For riding on public
roads, some special regulations apply in relation
to the riding 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 met.
Approved accessories can be installed by
specialist staff.
Each pedelec is assigned a pedelec type, which
determines its proper use and area of use.

Mountain bikes Racing bicycle Cargo bike Folding bicycle
City and trekking
bicycles are designed
for daily, comfortable
use. They are suita-
ble for riding on public
roads.
The legal guardians
of minor riders must
read and understand
these operating
instructions before
commissioning.
The contents of these
operating instruc-
tions must be com-
municated to the
riders in an age-
appropriate manner.
The cycles for chil-
dren and young
adults are suitable for
riding on public
roads. The size of the
pedelec must be
checked regularly for
orthopaedic reasons.
A check must be
made at least every
three months to make
sure that the permit-
ted total weight is
being observed.
Mountain bikes are
designed for sporting
use. The design char-
acteristics include a
short wheelbase, a
sitting position with
the rider inclined
towards the front, and
a brake requiring low
actuation force.
A mountain bike is a
piece of sporting
equipment. It requires
an adaptation period
as well as physical fit-
ness. Use requires
the appropriate train-
ing; in particular rid-
ing in bends and
braking should be
practised.
The strain on the
rider, in particular the
hands and wrists,
arms, shoulders,
neck and back, is
accordingly high.
Inexperienced riders
tend to brake exces-
sively and lose con-
trol as a result.
A racing bicycle is
designed for fast
rides on roads and
paths with a good,
undamaged road sur-
face.
A racing bicycle is a
piece of sporting
equipment and not a
means of transport. A
racing bicycle is char-
acterised by its light-
weight structure and
a design which is
stripped to the mini-
mum parts required
for riding.
The frame geometry
and the layout of the
operating elements
are designed in such
a way that the bicy-
cle can be ridden at
high speeds. The
frame design requires
practice to ensure the
ride is able to ride
slowly, apply the
brakes and get on
and off the bike
safely.
The sitting position is
athletic. The strain on
the rider, in particular
the hands and wrists,
arms, shoulders,
neck and back, is
accordingly high. The
sitting position there-
fore requires physi-
cal fitness.
The cargo bike is suit-
able for daily trans-
portation of loads on
public roads.
The transportation of
loads requires skill
and physical fitness
in order to balance
the additional weight.
The very varied load-
ing conditions and
weight distributions
require special prac-
tice and skill when
braking and riding in
bends.
A longer period is
required to adaptation
to the length, width
and turning circle .
The cargo bike
requires cautious rid-
ing. You must pay
attention to the traffic
on public roads and
the condition of the
route accordingly.
The folding bicycle is
suitable for use on
public roads.
A folding bicycle can
be folded up and is
thus suitable for
space-saving trans-
portation, 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, dimin-
ished comfort and
reduced durability are
to be expected.

You can be ride the pedelec within a temperature
range between 5 °C and 35 °C. The drive system
is limited in its performance outside this
temperature range.
During winter use, especially at temperatures
below 0 °C, we recommend that you don't insert a
battery charged and stored at room temperature
into the pedelec until just before setting off. We
recommend using thermal protection sleeves
when riding longer distances in the cold.
As a general rule, you should avoid temperatures
under -10 °C or over +60 °C.
You must also keep within the following
temperature ranges:

Overview
Status screen
The status screen indicates a status change or an
existing fault. The status indicator does not light
up if no fault is detected.
The different colours of the status screen have the
following meaning:
3.7.4.2 Level of assistance
You can adjust the desired level of assistance
using the control panel. The pedal assistance can
be changed at any time.
The higher the level of assistance, the more the
drive system assists the rider when pedalling. The
following levels of assistance are available:
The following levels of assistance are possible:
Remaining range
Precise information about the range of your
system is not possible before or during an
excursion. Several factors may have an impact on
the pedelec's range, such as the level of
assistance, speed, gear switching habits, tyre
type and pressure, route and weather conditions,
weight of rider and bicycle, or the battery age or
condition.
Colour Meaning
Green
The status screen flashes green briefly after the
drive pack has been successfully installed into the
pedelec. This gives you a visual signal that the
system can now be switched on.
Yellow
The status screen turns yellow briefly when a "soft
fault" is detected. This means that there is a
temporary or non-critical disturbance, which in most
cases leads to a loss of performance. You can still
ride your pedelec even if a "soft fault” occurs.
However, this is not recommended.
Red
The status screen briefly turns red when a "hard
fault" is detected. The pedelec can no longer be
used and must be serviced if a "hard fault” occurs.
Table 33: Meaning of status screen colours

temperatures
Excessively high temperatures will damage the
battery. Batteries may self-ignite and explode.
Never expose batteries to sustained direct
sunlight.
CAUTION
!
Oil leak if no transport securing device
The brake securing device prevents the brakes
from being applied accidentally during
transportation. This could cause irreparable
damage to the brake system or an oil leak, which
will harm the environment.
Never push the brake lever when the wheel
has been dismounted.
Always use the transport securing system
when transporting dismounted wheels.
Notice
Oil and grease may leak from the pedelec if it is
lying flat.
If the shipping box with a pedelec is lying flat or
standing on one end, it does not provide the frame
and wheels with adequate protection against
damage.
Transport the pedelec in an upright position
only.
Bicycle rack systems which use the handlebars or
frame to hold the pedelec in an upside-down
position exert inadmissible forces on its
components during transportation. This can
cause the supporting parts to break.
Never use bicycle rack systems which use the
pedelec's handlebars or frame to hold it in an
upside-down position.
CAUTION
!
MY20H06-2_1.0_26.08.2019 32
Transporting and storing
Transport the pedelec in a dry, clean position

4.3 Storing
If the pedelec features a hydraulic seat post, fix
only the lower seat post or the frame into a fitting
stand to prevent damage to the upper seat post
and the seat post lever.
Never place a pedelec with a hydraulic seat post
upside down on the floor; otherwise you, will
damage the seat post lever.
Store the pedelec, battery and charger in a dry,
clean location.
Temperatures under -10 °C or over +60 °C
should generally be avoided. Storage at about
20 °C is beneficial to a long service life.
Notice
The specialist dealer will advise you on how to
select a suitable rack system properly and how to
use it safely.
If you ship the pedelec, we recommend that
you have it partially dismantled and packaged
properly by the specialist dealer.
Risk of fire and explosion due to high
temperatures
Temperatures over 60 °C can also cause liquid to
leak from the battery and the battery will become
damaged. Batteries may self-ignite and explode.
Protect batteries against heat.
Never store in proximity to hot or flammable
objects.
Never expose batteries to continuous direct
sunlight and never store near heaters.
Notice
Oil and grease may leak from the pedelec if it is
lying flat.

Assembly
5.3 Commissioning
Only trained specialist staff may perform initial
commissioning since initial commissioning of the
pedelec requires special tools and specialist
knowledge.
Experience has shown that a pedelec which has
not yet been sold is automatically handed to end
users as soon as it appears ready to ride.
For this reason, every pedelec must be
prepared, so that it is fully ready for use
immediately after being assembled.
All assembly work described in the assembly
report (see appendix) must be performed to
ensure the pedelec is ready to ride. It
describes all safety-relevant inspections, tests
and maintenance tasks for the pedelec in a
separate list.
Complete an assembly report for quality
assurance purposes.

6.1 Risks and hazards
Injuries and death caused by other road users
Other road users, trucks, cars or pedestrians often
underestimate the speed of pedelecs. Likewise,
other road users frequently do not see pedelec
riders. This may cause a crash with serious injuries
or even death.
Wear a cycling helmet and high-visibility,
reflective clothing.
Always take a defensive approach to riding.
Avoid the blind spots of vehicles turning off
and reduce your speed as a precaution when
other road users turn right.
Injuries and death caused by riding
incorrectly
A pedelec is not a bicycle. Incorrect riding and
underestimated speeds soon result in hazardous
situations. This may cause a fall with serious
injuries or even death.
If you haven't ridden on a pedelec for some
time, get accustomed to the speed before you
ride at speeds over 12 km/h. Increase the level
of assistance on your pedelec gradually.
Practice hard braking on a regular basis.
Take and complete a riding safety course.
Crash caused by loose clothing
Shoe laces, scarves and other loose items may
become entangled in the spokes on the wheels
and on the chain drive. This may cause a crash
with injuries.
Wear sturdy footwear and close-fitting
clothing.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Risk of fire and burning due to hot motor
The motor housing becomes hot when riding.
Touching it may cause burns to the skin or other
objects.
Never touch the motor housing directly after
riding.
Never place the pedelec on a flammable
surface, such as grass or wood, directly after
use.
Crash caused by soiling
Heavy soiling can impair pedelec functions, such
as braking. This may cause a crash with injuries.
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.
Notice
Heat or direct sunlight can cause the tyre pressure
to increase above the permitted maximum
pressure. This can destroy the tyres.
Never park the pedelec in the sun.
On hot days, regularly check the tyre pressure
and adjust it as necessary.
When riding downhill, high speeds may be
reached.
The pedelec is only designed to exceed a speed
of 25 km/h for short periods. The tyres in
particular can fail if exposed to a continuous load.
Decelerate the pedelec with the brakes if you
reach speeds greater than 25 km/h.
CAUTION
!
MY20H06-2_1.0_26.08.2019 43
Operation
6.1.1 Tips for a greater range
How far can a pedelec actually travel? There is no
simple answer to this question as range depends
on many influencing factors. A single battery
charge may only last fewer than 20 kilometres but
much more than 100 is also possible. There are a
few tips which will help you maximize the range.
Cadence
Pedalling frequencies higher than 50 revolutions
per minute optimise drive unit efficiency.
However, very slow pedalling uses up a great deal
of energy.
Weight
Weight should be minimised. The total weight of
the pedelec and baggage should not be
unnecessarily high.
Stopping & starting
Stopping and starting all the time is less
economical than long stretches at the same
speed, just like with a car.
Gear shift
Shifting gears correctly also means you ride more
efficiently: It is best to set off and ride up hills
using a low gear and switch up a gear depending
on the speed and terrain. The on-board computer
provides gear shift recommendations.
Tyre pressure
Rolling resistance can be minimised if tyres are
inflated to the right pressure. Tip: Use the
maximum permitted tyre pressure to optimize your
range.
Motor power indicator
Keep an eye on the motor power indicator on the
display screen and adjust your riding accordingly.
A long bar indicates high power consumption.
Battery & temperature
Battery performance is reduced as the
temperature drops since this increases electrical
resistance. As a result, you should expect the
range to be shorter than normal in winter.
6.1.2 Personal protective equipment
We recommend that you wear a suitable cycling
helmet. We also recommend that you wear sturdy
footwear and typical, close-fitting, reflective
cycling clothing.
Notice
Moisture penetrating at low temperatures may
impair individual pedelec functions due to the
open structural design.
Always keep the pedelec dry and free from
frost.
If the pedelec is to be used at temperatures
below 3 °C, the specialist dealer must carry
out an inspection and prepare the pedelec for
winter usage first.
If you leave a key inserted when riding or
transporting the pedelec, it may break off or the
locking system may open accidentally.
Remove the key from the battery lock
immediately after use.
We recommend that you attach the key to a
key ring.
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 road surface
conditions

The status screen flashes green briefly after the
drive pack has been successfully installed into the
pedelec. This gives you a visual signal that the
system can now be switched on.
Yellow
The status screen turns yellow briefly when a "soft
fault" is detected. This means that there is a
temporary or non-critical disturbance, which in most
cases leads to a loss of performance. You can still
ride your pedelec even if a "soft fault” occurs.
However, this is not recommended.
Red
The status screen briefly turns red when a "hard
fault" is detected. The pedelec can no longer be
used and must be serviced if a "hard fault” occurs.
Table 37: Meaning of status screen colours
"Soft faults" on the pedelec are most commonly
caused by data missing from the speed sensor.
In the case of a permanent "soft fault", you can
re-install the speed sensor magnets. If the
problem persists, please contact your FAZUA
service partner or visit the FAZUA service
platform (www.fazua.com/service).
For a permanent "hard fault", please contact your
FAZUA service partner or visit the FAZUA service
platform (www.fazua.com/service)

Operation
6.3 Before the first ride
Only a correctly adjusted pedelec 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.
6.3.1 Adjusting the saddle
6.3.1.1 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.
Place the saddle tilt in the horizontal position to
adjust the pedelec to your needs for initial use.
Figure 44: Horizontal saddle tilt
6.3.2 Determining the seat height
To determine the seat height safely, either push
the pedelec near to a wall, so that you can lean on
the wall to support yourself or ask another person
to hold the pedelec 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.
Figure 45: Optimal saddle height
6.3.2.1 Adjusting the seat height with
quick release
Open the quick release on the seat post to
change the seat height. To do so, push the
clamping lever away from the seat post.
Figure 46: Seat post quick release (3)

Crash caused by 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 cause a crash with injuries.
Always observe the indicated torques on the
screw or in the operating instructions.

To close it, push the seat post clamping lever as
far as it will go into the seat post.
Check the clamping force of quick releases.
6.3.2.2 Height-adjustable seat post
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
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.
Figure 48: The seat post activation lever can be installed
either on the left (1) or the right (2) side of the handlebars
Lowering the saddle
To lower the saddle, press your hand down on the
saddle or sit on the saddle. Push the seat post
activation lever and hold it down.
Release the lever once you have reached the
required height.
Raising the saddle
Push the seat post activation lever.
Remove any pressure on the saddle and
release the lever once you have reached the
required height.
6.3.2.3 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
pedelec near to a wall, so that you can lean on the
wall to support yourself or ask another person to
hold the pedelec 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).
Figure 49: Knee cap perpendicular line
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 cause a crash
with injuries.
Do not pull the seat post out of the frame
beyond the minimum insertion depth marking.

screws of the handlebars.
Crash caused by loose stem
Incorrectly fastened screws may come loose due
to impact. The stem may no longer be firmly fixed
in its position as a result. This will cause a crash
with injuries.
Check the handlebars and the quick release
system are firmly in position after the first two
hours of riding.
Crash caused by incorrectly set clamping
force
Excessively high clamping force will damage the
quick release and cause it to lose its function.
Insufficient clamping force will cause a
detrimental transmission of force. This can cause
components to break. This will cause a crash with
injuries.
Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g.
hammer or pliers).
Only use the clamping lever with the specified
set clamping force.

6.3.5 Adjusting the suspension of the
Suntour fork
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The following Suntour forks can be installed in this
series of models:
The adjustment shown here represents a basic
setting. The rider should change the basic setting
to suit the surface and his/her preferences.
It is advisable to make a note of the basic
setting. This way, it can be used as the starting
point for subsequent, optimised settings and to
safeguard against unintentional changes.
6.3.5.1 Adjusting the negative deflection
Negative deflection (sag) is compression of the
fork caused by the weight of the rider and their
gear (e.g. a backpack), the sitting position and the
frame geometry. This sag is not caused by riding.
Each rider has a different weight and sitting
position. The sag depends on the rider's position
and weight and should be between 15% and 30%
of the maximum fork deflection, depending on
pedelec usage and preferences.
6.3.5.2 Adjusting the air suspension fork
negative deflection
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The air valve is located under a cover on the
head of the left shock absorber. Screw off the
cover.

downward against the dust wiper of the fork.
Put on your usual bicycling clothing, including
luggage.
Sit on the pedelec in your usual riding position
and support yourself (e.g. against a wall or
tree).
Get off the pedelec without allowing it to
deflect.
Measure the distance between the dust wiper
and the cable tie. This dimension is the sag.
The sag value should be between 15% (hard)
and 30% (soft) of the total fork deflection.
Increase or reduce the air pressure until you
have reached the desired sag.
Once the sag is correct, re-tighten the blue air
cover cap clockwise.
If you cannot achieve the desired sag, you may
need to make an internal adjustment. For this
purpose, contact your specialist dealer.
6.3.5.3 Adjusting the steel suspension fork
negative deflection
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
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
pedelec.
Figure 57: Negative deflection setting wheel on the
suspension fork crown
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. Reattach the cover after the
adjustment.

Operation
6.5 Before each ride 6.6 Check list before each ride
Check the pedelec before each ride.
Do not use the pedelec if there is evidently
something wrong with it.
Crash caused by difficult-to-spot damage
If the pedelec 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. This may cause a crash with
injuries.
Take the pedelec 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. This may cause a crash with injuries.
Remove the pedelec from service immediately
if there are 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 will inspect the pedelec 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 on the pedelec to
strong sources of heat.
CAUTION
!
Check that the pedelec is complete.
Check the battery is firmly in place.
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 pedelec been transported or
secured with a lock.
Check the valves and the tyre pressure. Adjust as
necessary before each ride.
If the pedelec 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, push the brake levers
while stationary to check whether resistance is generated
in the usual brake lever position. The brake must not lose
any brake fluid.
Check that the riding 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 pedelec's
lower surface.
Use body weight to compress suspension system. Adjust to
the optimum sag value if suspension is too soft.
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.
Check that the ABS indicator lamp lights up correctly on
pedelecs with an ABS system.

serious injuries.
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.

6.15.1 Adjusting the compression of the
Fox fork
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The compression adjuster makes it possible to
make quick adjustments to the suspension
behaviour of the fork to suit changes in terrain. It
is intended for adjustments made during the ride.
Figure 75: FOX compression adjuster with the OPEN (1) and
HARD (2) positions
Compression damping is lowest in the OPEN
position, making the fork feel softer. Use the
HARD position if you want to the fork feel stiffer
and you are riding on soft ground. The lever
positions between the OPEN and HARD
positions enable fine adjustment of compression
damping.
We recommend setting the lever of the
compression adjuster to the OPEN mode position
first.
6.15.2 Adjusting the compression of the
Fox damper
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The compression adjuster makes it possible to
make quick adjustments to the suspension
behaviour of the damper to suit changes in terrain.
It is intended for adjustments made during the
ride.
Figure 76: FOX compression adjuster on the rear frame
damper with the OPEN (1), MEDIUM (2) and HARD (3)
positions
Use the OPEN position for rough descents, the
MEDIUM position for rough terrain and the HARD
position for efficient climbing. First set the
compression adjuster to the OPEN position.
Figure 77: Fine adjustment of the OPEN position is made
using the adjuster (4)
The FOX rear frame damper features fine
adjustment for the OPEN position.
We recommend that fine adjustments be made

6.16 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.
6.16.1 Selecting gears
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The speed and range can be increased while
applying the same force if you select the right
gear. Use the derailleur gears.
Figure 79: Down shifter (1) and up shifter (2) on the left (I) and
right (II) gear shift

6.16.2 Using the hub gear
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
.
Figure 80: Example; Shimano Nexus gear shift: Twist grip (1)
for the hub gear with its screen (3), the direction of rotation to
switch up a gear (2) and the direction of rotation to switch
down a gear (4)
Turn the twist grip.
The gear shift switches the gear.
The number on the screen display shows the
changed gear.
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. As a result, the
pedelec may flip over or fall, which may cause
injury.
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.
Notice
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 pedelec 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.

up and down less than 1 cm, you will need to
slacken the chain or the drive belt.
The optimum chain tension is achieved if the
chain or the drive 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.
If a hub gear is featured, the rear wheel must
be pushed backwards or forwards to tighten
the chain. Only a specialist should do this.
Check the handlebar grip is firmly in position.
Notice
Any moisture which enters through the USB port
may trigger a short circuit in the display.
Regularly check the position of the cover on the

You must have the specialist dealer perform
maintenance every six months as a minimum.
This is the only way to ensure that the pedelec
remains safe and fully functional.
Technical expertise, special tools and special
lubricants are required no matter whether disc
brakes need replacing, brakes venting or wheels
changing. The pedelec may become damaged if
the stipulated maintenance intervals and
procedures are not carried out. That is why only
specialist dealers may carry out maintenance.
The retailer will check the pedelec based on
the maintenance table in the appendix.
The specialist dealer will inspect the pedelec
for any signs of material fatigue during basic
cleaning.
The specialist dealer will check the software
version of the drive system and update it. The
electrical connections are checked, cleaned
and preservative agent is applied. The
electrical cables are inspected for damage.
The specialist dealer will dismantle and clean
the entire suspension fork interior and exterior.
They will clean and lubricate the dust seals and
slide bushings, check the torques and adjust
the fork to the rider's preferred position. They
will also replace the sliding collar if the
clearance is too great (more than 1 mm on the
fork bridge).
Injury due to damaged brakes
Special tools and specialist knowledge are
required to repair the brakes. Incorrect or
unauthorised assembly can damage the brakes.
This may lead to an accident with injuries.
Only specialist dealers may carry out repairs
on brakes.
Never carry out work or changes (such as
dismantling, sanding or painting) which are not
explicitly allowed and described in the brake user
manual.
Injury to the eyes
Problems may arise if the settings are not made
properly and you may sustain serious injuries as
a result.
Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes
when carrying out maintenance work such as
replacing components.
Crash and falling caused by unintentional
activation
There is a risk of injury if the drive system is
activated unintentionally.
Remove the battery before inspection.
Crash caused by material fatigue
If the service life of a component has expired, the
component may suddenly fail. This may cause a
crash with injuries.
Have the specialist dealer carry out basic
cleaning of the pedelec every six months,
preferably at the same time as the required
servicing work.

Recycling and disposal
10 Recycling and disposal
This device is marked according to the
European Directive 2012/19/EU on
waste electrical and electronic
equipment – WEEE and the European
Directive 2006/66/EC on accumulators.
The directive provides the framework for
the return and recycling of used devices
across the EU. As a consumer, you are legally
required to return all used batteries of any type. It
is forbidden to dispose of batteries in domestic
waste. The manufacturer is obliged to take back
used and old batteries free of charge as per
Section 9 German Batteries Act. You thus meet
statutory obligations and help to protect the
environment. The pedelec, battery, motor, display
screen and charger are recyclable materials. You
must dispose of and recycle them separately from
the domestic waste in compliance with applicable
statutory regulations. Sorted waste collection and
recycling saves on raw material reserves and
ensures that all the regulations for health and
environmental protection are met when the
product and/or the battery are recycled.
Never dismantle the pedelec, batteries or
charger for disposal.
The pedelec, display screen, the unopened
and undamaged battery and the charger can
be returned to any specialist dealer free of
charge. Depending on the region, further
disposal options may be available.
Store the individual parts of the decommissioned
pedelec in a dry place, free from frost, where they
are protected from direct sunlight.
Risk of fire and explosion due to defective
battery
The safety electronics may fail if the battery is
damaged or faulty. The residual voltage can
cause a short circuit. The battery may self-ignite
and explode.
Remove battery with any external damage
from service immediately and never recharge
it.
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 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 a damaged or
faulty battery. 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.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Hazard for the environment
The fork, rear frame damper and hydraulic brake
system contain toxic and environmentally harmful
oils and lubricants. Such fluids will contaminate if
they enter the sewers or groundwater.
