Cable tension adjustment
To set a correct sprocket change, use the knob present on the rear derailleur or the grip. This wheel
allows you to adjust the tension of the derailleur cable and allows you to position the derailleur
correctly according to the speed chosen.
Chain setting
Your bike is fitted with an external rear derailleur, the chain is automatically tensioned.
New chains are sold with too many links, the first step is to reduce it to the correct length. The safest
method is to count the number of links in the old chain in order to adjust the new one. To disassemble
the old chain, simply bypass it (remove a rivet).
Once it is removed, the new one must be mounted. To do this, it must be passed around the chainring
of the crankset and the rear pinion so that it meshes correctly with the other elements of the
transmission. To close the chain we recommend using a quick release. This acts as a female link that
fits between two male links. Subsequently, the quick release will also make it easier to remove the
chain for cleaning.
In order to check if the length of the chain is correct, it must be put on the small sprocket. In this
configuration, the virtual line drawn between the hub of the rear wheel and the axle of the lower
pulley of the derailleur must be vertical.
Change of pedals
To change your pedals, identify the pedals by looking at the letter noted on the pedal. The right pedal
is marked "R" (Right) and the left pedal "L" ( Left ). Turn the "R" pedal clockwise to secure it to the
crank. Turn the L pedal counterclockwise.
Wheel and motor
After the first month of use, it is advisable to tighten your spokes to limit the impact of engine traction
on your rear wheel. When starting the engine, a slight noise may occur. This noise is normal because
the motor starts and assists pedalling. This noise can become more prominent when fully loaded.
Luggage rack
The luggage rack is designed to support a maximum permitted weight of 25-27 kg; a child seat can be
attached. Use an anchoring system suitable for this type of frame (not available as an accessory).
CAUTION: The roof rack is not designed to tow a trailer.
