2. Product description

Promovec Electric is the perfect choice if you are looking for an

e-bike for commuting and for casual riding that can increase

your mobility and give you excellent driving pleasure under all

conditions, no matter whether you drive uphill or in a strong

headwind.

Promovec Electric is available in different designs, some of

which come in both a man’s bike and a ladies’ bike. Thanks to

the step-through frame of the ladies’ bikes it is easy to mount

and get off.

The frame is made of aluminum in order to have a rigid and

strong construction as well as to maintain low weight. The motor

is built into the front wheel to obtain the best weight distribution.

The torque of the planetary gear motor is high with a powerful

performance sufficient to take you over longer uphill distances

without problems. Using the 7- or 8-speed gear you can always

find a gear suitable for your speed.

2.1 Frame number

The e-bike is provided with a frame number which can be found

under the crank.

3. Functions/settings

3.1 Battery indicator

The battery indicator is in-

tegrated in the LCD dis-

play on the handlebar. On

the indicator you can see

the approximate battery

level.

Please note that the battery level may vary depending on whether

you drive uphill or downhill.

3.2 Assist function

The assist function has 6 settings. By pressing the assist button

repeatedly you may choose the appropriate assist level.

As it is possible to adjust the assist level to actual need during

the ride, it is up to the driver to decide when help is needed and

how much.

The motor will disconnect at a speed of 24.6 km/h.

3.3 Gear lever

Shift the gear by turning the

gear lever placed in the right

handlebar.

Choose the appropriate gear

according to speed and wish.

The gear lever may vary depending on bicycle model. The above

photo shows the gear lever on Promovec Electric – Element.

3.4 Mantling and dismantling of the battery

Turn the battery key (ON/OFF) to open position and take the

battery out of the rack.

Mount the battery again by placing it in the rack and pushing it

forward into position. Then turn the key to lock the battery.

3.5 Mounting of battery charger

Insert the plug of the battery

charger into the battery.

You may charge the battery

while mounted in the e-bike.

You may also choose to dis-

mantle the battery and take it

indoor for recharging

3.6 Driving instructions

The auxiliary engine works as follows:

When the pedals are activated a sensor sends a signal to the elec-

tronic steering (controller) which then starts the motor.

The power of the auxiliary engine is adjusted according to the

chosen assist level. During the ride you may adjust the assist

level according to actual need.

If you drive uphill you may apply full power whereas when you

go downhill you may disconnect the motor.

The electronic steering will automatically disconnect the motor

when you stop pedaling. Likewise the steering will disconnect

the motor when your speed exceeds 24.6 km/h.

4. Highway code

The Promovec Electric e-bike is built according to the guidelines

of the EU standards EN 14764 and EN 15194.

There are no requirements in respect to a driving license, a

license plate or the use of a crash helmet.

When riding in the traffic you must observe the rules which apply

for cyclists. It is strongly recommended that you wear a cycle

helmet.

5. Insurance

When it comes to insurance an e-bike falls within the scope of a

conventional bicycle which is normally covered by your family

home insurance.

We do however recommend that you consult your insurance

agent to discuss specific insurance aspects of your e-bike.

6. Battery charger

6.1 Use of battery charger

1. Charging must take place indoors.

2. Turn the key to off position.

3. Put the plug of the charger into the socket of the battery.

4. Put the mains plug (230v) into the power socket and switch

on the charger.

5. The red diode will be on, as long as charging takes place.

6. When the diode changes from red to green, charging is com-

plete and the e-bike is ready.

7. Turn off the charger but do not remove it from the socket un-

til you are going to use the e-bike again.

6.2 Charging

The Promovec Electric e-bike uses maintenance-free Panasonic

Li-ION batteries. Please note, that the battery can be dismantled.

The charging capacity of the battery is only 40% when delivered

from the factory. Before commissioning it is therefore necessary

to charge the battery to full capacity using the enclosed battery

charger (Green diode is on).

In order to achieve maximum battery life and range of the e-bike

we recommend that charging takes place in a heated room. By

temperatures below 20ºC prolonged charging time must be ex-

pected, with the result that charging of the battery to full capaci-

ty cannot take place which again leads to reduced driving range.

Please note that the capacity of the battery will decrease when

temperatures fall below 20ºC.

Optimum battery charging conditions are at 20ºC. If the battery

is exposed to direct sunlight the battery life deteriorates consi-

derably.

When the battery is taken indoors for charging, condensation

may occur inside the battery as well as on the outside. Please

therefore do not start charging until the condensation has disap-

peared. The battery contains a printed circuit board that controls

each battery cell. If charging takes place while there is still some

condensation in the battery this printed circuit board may be

damaged.

Memory effect does not occur in Li-ION batteries. It is thus un-

necessary to discharge the battery before starting a recharge.

Charging of the Li-ION battery at many frequent intervals may

prolong the battery life. However, please note that once charging

of the battery has been started you should not discontinue the

process as this may have a negative influence on the battery life.

Rechargeable batteries must always be kept in dry conditions

and dismantled from any equipment.

Do not pull the wires when dismantling the charger from the bat-

tery. Grab hold of the plug and pull it carefully out of the battery.

Never leave the battery in the charger when the charger is off.

Never leave your battery in your Promovec Electric e-bike for a

longer period of time.

Please note that the capacity of the battery will weaken over time

and at lower temperatures. The more you use your e-bike the

more the capacity will decrease thereby affecting the range. Over

time the reduced battery performance will also be noticeable

when driving in a hilly countryside. The battery life will normal-

ly allow charging/discharing up to 600 times.

Please also note that periods with low temperatures will influ-

ence the capacity and thus the performance of the battery nega-

tively. This will change when the temperature increases to ap-

prox. 20ºC.

Other parameters of major importance for the performance/

range are user weight, driving manners, terrain, surface and tire

pressure. The user himself/herself may also influence the per-

formance/range depending on how much pedal power is used.

It costs only little to have the charger connected all the time, as

the charger will switch to standby when the battery if charged to

full capacity. However, the charger should not be connected for

more than max. one week. The battery should then be removed

from the charger and charging to full capacity should take place

once a month (full charge = green diode on charger is on).

6.3 Storage for the winter

If you put away your e-bike for a longer period (more than one

month), it will be sufficient to charge the battery once a month.

Before putting the battery away for storage you should make

sure that it is fully charged, as the battery will be damaged by

being left totally or partly discharged for a longer period.

6.4 Warning

 Do not heat, short, puncture or in any other way damage the

battery.

 Do not divide or destroy the battery.

 Do not throw the battery into open fire.

 Do not lower the battery into water or any other liquid.

 When charging the battery only use the enclosed battery

charger.

 Do not charge the battery at temperature below 0ºC or above

45ºC.

 Do not cover the battery charger.

 Disposal of used batteries must take place to companies with

environmental approval or to public recycling centers.

7. LCD display functions

There are 6 assist levels.

The set button has 2 operation modes:

1. Press the button once: The light in the

LCD-display is on. By pressing the

“up/down” buttons the LCD light in-

tensity may be set.

2. Press the button twice: The trip meter

set.

Up-/down buttons

Error indicator

The error indicator is located under the speedometer and displays

system errors, if any. Indications range from 02-09:

"02" the controller has been exposed to high current. If the er-

ror indicator continues to show error "02" after the system

has been restarted, the controller is defective.

"03" error on the motor wire.

"04" too low voltage.

"05" the brake is activated. Turns off when the brake is deacti-

vated.

"06" error on the crank sensor.

"07" error on the throttle.

"08" the error on the controller, controller plugs or wires.

"09" system switched off due to too high voltage.
