• Maximum load rear rack
The maximum allowable weight for the rear rack on RIDE+ bikes is 20 kg for bikes with a rear
rack battery pack.
• Getting the most from your electric bicycle
Riding with the system 'on' in level 0 is the same as riding with the system 'Off'. With the system
switched 'on', your speed and distance will be measured and you will be able to use the lights. This
will not be possible when the system is 'Off'. The system will be most efficient when you pedal with a
cadence of around 60 rpm. Use the assistance levels according to your needs. Always remember that
your electric bicycle is still a bicycle and should be used as such.
The actual range on a battery charge will vary depending on wind, tire pressure, rider weight, riding
style, road conditions, software settings, topography, age of battery pack and other parameters.
• Transporting an electric bike
Because a RIDE+ bike is heavier than a normal bicycle due to the additional drive components, and
because of the presence of a Li-ion battery pack, please take care of the following when transporting
the electric bike:
a. Take care about the maximum load capacity on the towbar of the vehicle when placing a bike
carrier on it with multiple bicycles, including an E-bike. Please refer to the manual of the towbar
and/or the vehicle for additional information.
b. Take care about the maximum load capacity of the car's roof when placing a bike carrier on it
with multiple bicycles, including an E-bike. Please refer to the manual of the vehicle and/or bike
carrier for additional information.
c. A bike carrier has a limited load capacity. Sometimes that is not enough to carry an (heavier)
electrical bicycle in combination with other (e.g. electrical) bicycles. Please refer to the manual
of the bicycle carrier for more detailed information.
d. Remove the battery pack and, if present, panniers of the electrical bicycle and store it elsewhere
in the vehicle during the drive.
e. Always respect local laws about transportation of a(n electric) bicycle.
WARNING. The drivability of the vehicle may change with extra weight on (the back of) the vehicle.
f. Because Li-Ion battery packs of this size and power are considered 'Dangerous goods, class 9' when
transporting, regulations may restrict the transport of separate Li-Ion batteries in some places.
The restrictions apply to most airlines and some trucking companies. But, if you intend to ship or
travel with your complete RIDE+ bike (with installed battery pack), the regulations are less strict.
Make sure to check ahead with your airline or carrier, before booking your trip, if it is allowed to
travel with your complete RIDE+ bike.
4. Maintenance
After the first two to three weeks of use, or 300 km, have your dealer check the spokes in the rear
wheel. The motor is of the 'brushless' type and requires no maintenance.
Check the connections of the system every two to three months. Make sure that no dirt or moisture
can get into the 'docking station' (connector) when the battery pack is not on the bike. If you notice
anything like this, clean with a smooth, dry brush.
