USE

Seat position

To ensure comfortable, fatigue-free and safe riding, the saddle and handlebar height must be adjusted to the body size. The saddle height is

correct when the foot is resting on the pedal at the lowest position while the leg is not fully extended. The tips of the toes must still touch the

ground.

Meaning of battery symbols: Batteries are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out refuse bin. Contaminated batteries are specially

marked with chemical symbols. In the case of batteries containing more than 0.0005% by weight of mercury, more than 0.002% by mass

of cadmium or more than 0.004% by weight of lead, the chemical name of the particular pollutant used is "Cd" for cadmium, "Pb "Stands

NOTE

Self-discharge

As a result of predominantly chemical processes in gas-tight cells, the battery discharges itself as a function of the time of the charge state, and the

ambient conditions (temperature, humidity).

A self-discharge is normal.

However, this self-discharge can lead to low-voltage discharge, if not regularly recharged. A low-voltage discharge means a defect and makes the

battery unusable.

If one of the above points is not correct, do not use the e-bike. The errors must be corrected immediately. If you can not correct the errors yourself,

please contact your dealer.

What do I look for when riding?

If the e-bike is in proper condition, it is ready to ride. It depends on your own riding behavior and ability to avoid dangerous situations. Familiarize

yourself with your e-bike.

What do I wear?

Many accidents happen because e-bikers are not recognized in time. Therefore, it is useful to wear bright and eye-catching clothes. Be careful not to

wear loose clothing that can stick to the chain, handlebar, pedals or wheels. It should be self-evident to wear a helmet. Make sure that your helmet
