It is practically impossible to provide absolute
data regarding the range as various factors
influence the assistance performance. To begin
with, the battery must be optimally charged.
This can be ensured by using the original
charger, through sufficient charging time, the
age of the battery as well as its continuous
maintenance.
If all these factors are favorable, i.e. the
operating temperature is also between 5 and 35
°C and a full charge has taken place, then 37V
x 8.8Ah = 325 Wh of stored energy should be
available to begin driving.
With the battery's increasing age, the maximum
amount of stored energy can sink by a third and
in so doing the running distance too.
On the whole, lithium-ion batteries can
experience up to 500 full charge cycles, but
through aging the capacity will sink in due
course down to 85 - 65 %.
Providing good maintenance is taken, then a
life expectancy of approximately 3 – 5 years
is possible. The capacity will decrease slowly
but steadily.

General operation

Gear changing

If you are not yet familiar with a gear change,
practice handling your new Pedelec, braking
and negotiating curves but do it away from
public roads.

Derailleur

First switch the chain to the centre pinion at
the rear. Switch between the front chain rings.

Then try the same in the reverse direction. This
way you will learn the functioning of the gear.
Do not ever change gear when the cycle is
stationary or during reverse pedalling. Select
your gear transmission ratio in front according
to the terrain and exercise additional control
with the rear sprocket. The chain should not
run crosswise, i.e., with very steep inclination,
because otherwise chain and gear wheel will
wear out fast. Use the derailleur as illustrated in
Figure.
Gear adjustment:
The gear must be adjusted regularly, depending
on the type of gear usage. Let your dealer do all
the gear settings.

Brakes

Your Pedelec is equipped with two independent
brakes. The right brake lever works on the front
wheel brake, and the left one on the rear wheel
brake. You can change this order by changing
the brake wires on the brake lever. Get this done
by your dealer.

Hand brakes

Check the smooth functioning of the brakes
before each trip. Contact the dealer if you detect
slackening of the braking e ect! The brake shoe
or shoes are labelled. Always use spare parts of
the same label.

V-brake

This brake is activated by pulling the brake
lever at the handle bar of your cycle. Two brake
