11. GENERAL INFORMATION
ON THE USE OF THE NYTRO
The Nytro bicycle can be used as a regular muscle-powered cycle by simply turning off the motor.
The behaviour without assist will be similar to what happens with a low battery charge.
It is not possible to remove any electrical system from the cycle.
Nytro bicycles are designed, engineered and manufactured to perform their intended purpose.
Any use other than the intended purpose could cause the bicycle to undergo sudden stress and
breakage, not covered by warranty.
DO NOT attach child seats or trailers or use the bicycle for towing.
The acceleration and speed of a pedal-assisted bicycle require different riding habits, so pay the
utmost attention during riding. We recommend that you practice, gradually familiarising yourself
with the thrust of the motor in different situations, preferably in a space that is known and free of
hazards.
Always use extreme caution when riding your Nytro. Jumps and high speeds
on rough trails can lead to your bicycle breaking down, resulting in safety
hazards and injuries.
When using a pedelec, we particularly emphasise the following cautions:
•
Do not mount the saddle with one foot on the pedal and the other leg over the saddle. This
action will trigger the pedal assist system, which could result in a fall.
•
Before a curve, stop pedalling earlier than on a regular muscle-powered cycle. If you are
pedalling too late, the assistance system will continue to push you and you will enter the curve at
an excessive speed.
•
Keep your pedalling fluid (the best frequency is at least 60 strokes per minute) and manage the
gear ratios as you would with a regular muscle-powered cycle, without giving in to the temptation
to let yourself be pulled along by the motor. This way you will achieve best management of the
motor and battery, making the most of the charge. The motor provides a force proportional to
the force exerted by the user, and when you pedal at a higher frequency to achieve a particular
speed, you will be exerting lower force, so then the motor will also provide lower force, with less
consumption of battery power, thereby increasing autonomy.
•
Keep in mind that a pedelec can quietly reach high speeds. This can pose a danger to other
road users, so ride your pedelec responsibly.
FOR LONG RIDES
The autonomy of the cycle battery and therefore the distance that can be covered depend on
many factors, including:
•
Type and conditions of route
•
Total weight of rider and load
•
Type of pedalling (see previous paragraph)
•
Pedal assist level selected
•
Wind
•
Frequency of start-and-stop sequences
•
Ambient temperature
•
Weather
•
Tire pressure

To maximise battery life, we recommend that you use the pedalling assistance sparingly, varying
the level according to travel conditions (e.g. low assistance for flat or downhill stretches, higher
assistance level for uphill stretches or with headwind).
Additional measures to gain travel distance:
•
Check tire pressure often using a pressure gauge, for example once a week.
•
Choose a good gear ratio before stopping, so that you can start with a ratio that requires less
push from the motor.
•
Set the gear ratios similarly to the way you do with a regular muscle-powered cycle, not
choosing only the highest ones, which will lead to being dragged by the motor.
•
Ride smoothly, avoiding unnecessary stops.
•
Minimise luggage to minimise the weight the motor has to push.
•
Keep the battery indoors in case of low temperatures or frost.
•
Do not park the bike in full sunlight.
Check the battery charge status on the battery indicator on the display. Further details are
available in the manual provided by the pedal assist manufacturer.
Keep in mind that other road users may not hear the oncoming pedelec.
On bicycle lanes or mixed traffic lanes, to avoid accidents, ride with extreme
caution and attention.
The bike is equipped with very powerful brakes. In case of problems with
management of the motor, brake carefully as the braking action will win over
the motor action.
Given the high performance of the motor, the risk of falling, especially on
slippery road surfaces or terrain (wet, snow, gravel, mud etc.) is much higher
than normal, especially on curves.
Always wear clothing that makes you visible to other road users. Always use a
helmet. We also recommend other protections, such as gloves, knee pads and
elbow pads. Use appropriate clothing for your bicycle to prevent injuries to you
and others.
Always use extreme caution when riding your Nytro bike. High speeds on
rough trails can lead to your bicycle breaking down, resulting in safety hazards
and injuries.
