Maintenance instructions

To enjoy the comfort of the numerous functions
for a long time to come, the Pedelec should be
maintained just like a normal cycle. Besides, to
guarantee riding safety, regular checks must be
performed on the brake, the tyre pressure, the
different screw joints, especially handle bar, seat
and axle nuts without fail.

Maintenance of the Pedelec drive:

When maintaining the auxiliary electrical drive
system, ensure through appropriate handling
the maximum capacity of the drive battery and
protection of the other electrical components
against prolonged wet conditions. As far as
possible, the Lithium-ion battery should be
recharged only after complete discharge. Please
try to avoid immediate re-charging of a nearly
full battery after a short ride.
In winter or during longer periods of non-use,
the battery should be recharged at the latest
after 2 - 3 month. Only this way you can ensure
a long product life. If you do not use the battery
over longer periods, take the battery out of
the Pedelec. fter a ride in rain or if a lot of mud
gets deposited on the housing components,
the dirt must be wiped away as thoroughly as
possible with a wet sponge. Let the Pedelec dry
afterwards.
Never use a pressurized water jet or a steam-
cleaning device. The system is protected
against water sprays and is therefore rainproof,
however, the electrical system is not fully sealed.
Thorough wetting of the cable harness can lead
to short-circuits that can destroy the digital
control of the system. Hence, avoid transporting
the Pedelec on the luggage rack of your car with
the battery inserted when it is raining. The strong
slip stream forces water all across the frame and
into the battery housing.

If such transportation is required, do not forget
to take the battery out of the Pedelec in advance
and upon arrival, dry the wet bicycle sufficiently
before re-inserting the battery.

Operating instructions

Before using the Pedelec, it is recommended
that you protect the chrome parts and
the frame with any commercial cycle care
product.
Clean the cycle regularly from dust and dirt
with a sponge or soft cloth. Use a normal
cycle cleaning product and a protective
agent .
Never use high-pressure cleaners to clean
hubs and pedal bearing. This will damage
the components.
Ensure that the tyres and brake rubber do
not come in contact with oil.

Preserving in Winter

The Pedelec should be carefully preserved in
case of long-term storage in the winter months.
Ensure that the Pedelec is parked in a room
with constant temperature. Large temperature
fluctuations as well as humidity have a
negative effect on all Chromium and light metal
components. To store it away for winter, check
the Pedelec on the whole for damages to avoid
any workshop repairs in spring. Unburden the
tyres by hanging up the Pedelec.
If you do not intend using the Pedelec for longer
periods, pull out the fuse of the battery and store
it in a cool and dry room.
The recommended storage temperature for
the battery is 15°C.
