this. Read your general bicycle user manual
regarding the topic of safe braking.
In certain product series as a result of the
design of the energy-saving recuperation opè
tion strong charging currents arise at speeds
of more than around 50 km/h that can lead to
the charging function of the battery switching
off for a while. This means that due to the
charging currents there is a marked braking
action within a narrow speed range, but if the
speed increases further this will cease
abruptly when the charging switches off.
Certain types of battery switch on again
automatically after a few seconds and thereè
by cause brief and abrupt braking.
These measures that are used to protect the
electronics are not defects or errors.
For that reason be prepared for these effects
when riding downhill and adapt your style of
riding accordingly. Also, always keep both
hands securely on the handlebars when riding
downhill, sit well back on the saddle and do
not make any extreme or unnecessary
manoeuvres, especially at high speeds. Be very
careful on twisty downhill sections, for
example.
Note: Note that there is no energy
recuperation option when riding downhill
if the battery is already fully charged.
Danger! The riding characteristics
of a pedelec/e-bike or s-pedelec differ from
those of a conventional bicycle of the same
type. For that reason always practise first
on an area with no traffic Until you are
sure that you have full control and only
make use gradually of the full potential of
the pedelec / s-pedelec after that.
Read the tips on riding a pedelec / s-pedlec
in the general bicycle user manual of the
manufacturer.
Danger! The motor becomes
warm after longer use. Never touch the
motor during use and within another
30 minutes after use. If you have disk
brakes installed, note that they too can get
hot. Always let the brakes cool down
before removing the wheels.
Danger! Never touch the motor
or the rear wheel while using your pedelec
or s-pedelec.
Before every ride
Safety of you Pedelecs/E-Bikes or S-Pedelec
Check the proper functioning and safety of
your pedelec/e-bike each time before every
ride. You can find details on the required
steps in your general bicycle user manual. If
you have any doubts, contact your dealer
before your first ride.
Display of the state of charge
The state of charge of the battery is displayed
by four LEDs when you press the button at
the battery.
Here each LED corresponds to a state of the
capacity. This means for example that if one
LED is lit up and the second one is blinking
then 25 to 49 % of the full charge is available,
if 4 LED are lit up then 96 to 100% of the full
charge is available
The display of the state of charge of the
battery goes out automatically after around 10
seconds.
We recommend that you recharge the
battery after each longer ride so that you can
always get to your destination with full drive
assistance and to extend the life of the battery
