To register your bike: go to the Product Registration section of our website at www.cannondale.com 138222 Rev 1 (03/20) Understand your bike, its drive-assist system and the intended use of both. Using your bike the wrong way is dangerous. What is a Drive System?

Drive Display Drive Unit Battery Cover Battery Key Whenever the drive-assist system is turned OFF, you can pedal the bike normally. The drive system will not engage. What is an E-Bike?

In all modes/levels, the drive-assist system power reduces progressively and cuts off as the bike reaches a the maximum allowable speed. The drive-assist re-engages when speed drops below the maximum allowable speed as long as the pedals are turning.

Please read your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual for more information about Intended Use and Conditions 1-5. The drive-assist system consists of a drive unit, a battery, a computer control, and various electronic components (harness wires, sensors, and switches). There are many different drive-assist systems for differing uses and bike types. Likewise there are various drive-assist system manufacturers (Shimano, BOSCH, Bafang, Yamaha, etc.) Servicing This supplement may include procedures beyond the scope of general mechanical aptitude. How does the Drive System work? Record YOUR Serial Number here: It is important to know that when the drive-assist system is turned ON, the drive unit engages to provide power only while you are pedaling.

The amount of power provided by the drive unit depends on your pedaling force and the assistance mode/level you set with the Special tools, skills, and knowledge may be required. Improper mechanical work increases the risk of an accident. Any bicycle accident has risk of serious injury, paralysis or death. To minimize risk we strongly recommend that owners always have mechanical work done by an Authorized Cannondale Dealer. handlebar control unit. At anytime, if you stop pedaling, the drive-assist will disengage.

Safety Information Safety Information Important Composites Message Topstone Neo Carbon OMS Important Composites Message Inspection & Crash Damage Of Carbon Frames/Forks Your bike (frame and components) is made from composite materials also known as “carbon fiber.” After A Crash Or Impact: Inspect frame carefully for damage. See PART II, Section D. Inspect For Safety in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual. All riders must understand a fundamental reality of composites. Composite materials constructed of carbon fibers are strong and light, but when crashed or overloaded, carbon fibers do not bend, they break. For your safety, as you own and use the bike, you must follow proper service, maintenance, and inspection of all the composites (frame, stem, fork, handlebar, seat post, etc.) Ask your Cannondale Dealer for help. We urge you to read PART II, Section D. “Inspect For Safety” in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual BEFORE you ride. You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore this warning. Compliance/Regulation Compliance/Regulation YOU MUST OBEY ALL LOCAL LAWS & REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS - It is your responsibility to identify and follow all local laws and regulations necessary for legal compliance. Compliance with local regulation is critical to the safety of a rider and others where the bike is used. Here are some important specifications related to compliance with local laws: Do not ride your bike if you see any sign of damage, such as broken, splintered, or delaminated carbon fiber. VEHICLE CLASS - A definition (California, USA) of the different types of E-Bikes, E-Bike labeling and legal use areas, including any required additional equipment, registration, and applicable rider age restrictions. Any of the following may indicate a delamination or damage: VEHICLE CATEGORY - A definition of the European Union of the different types of E-Bikes, who and where they may be used, necessary additional equipment such as lighting and signaling devices as well as any necessary insurance and licensing.

An unusual or strange feel to the frame

Carbon which has a soft feel or altered shape

Creaking or other unexplained noises,

Visible cracks, a white or milky color present in carbon fiber section MINIMUM OPERATOR AGE - A minimum age require-ment for a rider of the E-Bike. This restriction as well as speed and additional equipment requirements (light, helmets, license plates, signal lamps, etc.) Follow any state or local laws for any minimum age restrictions for E-Bikes. Ask your local Authorized Cannondale Dealer for more information about operating an electrically assisted pedal bicycle in your area. Continuing to ride a damaged frame increases the chances of frame failure, with the possibility of injury or death of the rider. No Child Seats or Trailers Child seats and trailers or racks can not be used and are not allowed to be used with your Cannondale E-Bike. 138222 Rev 1 (03/20)

Safety Information Safety Information Operation Topstone Neo Carbon OMS Operation Operation continued from previous page... Always wear an approved bicycle helmet and all other protective gear (e.g. gloves, pads, and cycling shoes). Importance of practice & rider training - before you ride this bike, practice riding in a safe area free from hazards. Take time to learn to bike’s controls and performance. Practice the controls and gain the experience necessary to avoid the many hazards you will encounter while riding. Do not ride “hands-off - Keep your hands on the handlebars when riding the bike. If you remove your hands from the handlebar while riding, you can lose control of the bicycle and crash. Changing the assistance level while riding: Changing the drive-assistance level while riding will increase or decrease the acceleration of the bike. You should anticipate this change in speed and react appropriately depending on the riding conditions. (Such as on slippery trails, tight turns, or unstable or uneven surfaces). Set assistance level to “eco” (lowest assist) or “off” before descending technical trails, (e.G. Tight downhill switchbacks).” When not riding: Turn the drive system off to prevent unauthorized use. Do not ride the e-bike without the battery. Make sure the battery is fully charged before every ride. This will help ensure adequate battery power for necessary lighting and the drive system. Do not remove any lighting or reflectors and do not ride if they do not work. Do not allow children to operate or come into contact with e-bike or its parts. Only turn the drive system on when you are seated ready to ride. Accidental activation: Always disconnect battery from the bike before working on the bicycle. If you transport the bike by car or plane follow/obey local regulations regarding transportation a bicycle with drive system battery. Accidental activation of the bicycle drive system can result in serious injury. Wireless system control: In wireless control systems, the operation of the drive system is controlled using radio frequencies, without physical attachment. Therefore, activation on/off is determined by software programming. Please consult the manufacturer’s instructions for information on preventing accidental activation or re-starting the drive system in the event of a recovering from a drive system fault. Your insurance policies - your insurance policies (e.G. Liability, property and injury) may not provide coverage for accidents involving the use of this bicycle. To determine if coverage is provided you should contact your insurance company or agent. Also, make sure your speed e-bike is insured and registered according to the local laws. Ride sensibly, ride safely around others - the application of power by means of the electric motor assist means that riders can reach high speed. Riding faster increases the risks of serious accidents. Watch out for other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and animals where you ride. Always operate under control and at a safe speed. Others may not be aware of you. It is your responsibility to anticipate and react to avoid accidents. E-bikes are heavier than ordinary bikes - always park the bike in a suitable safe area away from children, cars or animals that may come into contact with it. Park the bike so that it cannot fall over possibly resulting in injuries. Do not ride into or attempt to ride through water or sub-merge any part of the bike. If you ride through water you can lose control of the bike or the drive-assist system can become disabled or damage. You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore these warnings. continued next page 138222 Rev 1 (03/20) Wired system control: If the drive system control device is detached from the mount or the cables are disconnected to damaged, the drive system will automatically shut off. If this happens you will have to stop the bike, turn the system off , re-attach the computer to the base, and then turn the system back on to resume.

Do not use other batteries or chargers. Do not use the charger to charge other batteries. PREVENT DAMAGE - Do not drop the battery or charger. Do not open, disassemble, or modify the battery or charger. No user serviceable parts inside. Keep the battery out of intense sunlight. Keep away from heat. Heat will damage the battery. Keep battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal items, to prevent shorting exposed battery contacts. Shorting battery contacts can cause severe burns, fire, or explosion. STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION - When the battery is not in use in the bicycle, its transportation is subject to hazardous materials regulation. Special packaging and labeling requirements may exist. Contact local authorities for specific requirements. Never transport a damaged battery. Insulate battery contacts before packaging. Package battery inside a shipping container to prevent damage. The battery must be removed before flying and may be subject to special handling by the air carrier. CHARGING - Bring indoors and allow to reach room temperature before charging. Make sure charger and A/C outlet are the same voltage. Locate both charger and battery indoors, in a clean, dry area with good ventilation to charge. Make sure the area is free from combustibles to avoid fire from sparks or overheating. Keep charger ventilation openings unobstructed. Do not cover the charger or the battery. Disconnect the battery from the charger unit when fully charged. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to the charger. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet when not in use. Maintain the battery and the charger as directed by the manufacturer’s instructions. DISPOSAL- Battery pack/charger contain regulated materials and must be disposed/ discarded in accordance with national and/or local laws. Do not discard the battery/charger into fire, water or ordinary household waste/garbage. Take to a waste facility/recycler. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL FIRES, EXPLOSION, OR SEVERE BURNS OR ELECTROCUTION. 138222 Rev 1 (03/20) Safety Information Operation

Commuting Do not attach any external battery to the down tube water bottle location. EQUIPMENT - Any bicycle Including an drive-assisted bike (ebike) must be properly equipped for commuting including any legally required lights, signals, and registrations. Ask your Authorized Cannondale Retailer if commuting is within the scope of your bike’s intended use and if your bike is properly equipped for commuting. The water bolt bosses are not intended to carry the weight of a battery. If you ignore this warning, attaching an external battery to this location could damage the frame and/or detach from the frame while riding, resulting in an accident serious injury, paralysis or death. DANGERS - Operating an E-bike as a commuting vehicle is no less dangerous than an ordinary pedal bike or automobile. E-Bikes are certainly not designed to protect you in a crash. Do not assume the bike or its drive capability will protect you or keep you from being involved in a serious accident. No Modification

DO NOT MODIFY THIS BICYCLE/DRIVE

SYSTEM/ IN ANY WAY FOR ANY

REASON. Doing so can result in severe damage, faulty or dangerous operating conditions, or violation of local laws. NIGHT RIDING- Riding at night on a E-Bike or pedal-only bikes is very hazardous. Dealers and Owners MUST NOT change, alter, or modify in any way the original components of the bicycle or drive-assist system (e.g. the specified sizing of the attached gear ratios (front/rear chain rings). Read the topic “Riding at Night” in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual now for more information on the many hazards of riding at night. You must operate with a very high degree of awareness and precaution to only reduce the risk of death or serious injury. Attempts to “hot-rod” or “improve” the speed of the bike are dangerous to the rider. Use only specified Cannondale and/ or manufacturer drive-assist service and replacement parts.

Safety Information Topstone Neo Carbon OMS Disc Brakes on Road Bikes Side impacts to a water bottle or external battery can result in damage to threaded inserts due to the leverage on a very small area. In a crash, certainly the last thing you should be worried about is saving the threaded inserts in your frame. However, when you are storing or transporting your bike, take steps to prevent situations where a water bottle may be hit or bumped by a strong force that would cause damage. Remove bottle and cage when you are packing your bike for travel. To minimize risk of injury or accidents:

Using the Key KEY Water Bottle & External Batteries Relative to conventional rim brakes, disc brakes are less affected by water, do not wear or heat the rims and therefore are more consistent. Disc brakes also may be more powerful.

Key Disc Brakes on Road Bikes Understand that road bikes have a relatively small tire contact patch (part of the tire that touches the road). In order to apply the brakes safely and effectively, you may need more or less braking force in different situations. You need to take into account various road and weather conditions that can affect traction. Periodically check the attachment of the bottle cage and any external battery; tighten the cage bolts if necessary. Don’t ride with a loose bottle cage. Riding with loose cage bolts can produce a rocking motion or vibration of the attached cage. A loose cage will damage the insert and possibly lead to the inserts to pull out. It may be possible to repair a loose insert, or install another insert only if the frame is undamaged. Replacement requires the use of a special tool. If you notice damage to the threaded insert, please ask your Cannondale Dealer for help. Disc brakes are excellent, but not some kind of magic. Take some time riding your new disc brake road bike in lower risk circumstances to get used to the feel and performance of the disc brakes and tires. You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore this message. Please Note: After lots of rides and washing, the battery lock can become dry and difficult to use. To maintain, whenever you lubricate your bike chain, place a few drops of chain oil on the key, insert the key and operate the lock, then remove and wipe the key clean.

Using the Key This illustration shows a key (1) inserted in the battery lock mechanism located on the right side of the bike at the bottom of the battery door.

A key is used to secure the battery lock mechanism.

The drive system may be activated by this same key. Please consult the drive system owner/operator manuals to determine. Please record the key serial number for future use and key replacement.

To access the key hole, use your finger to lift the tethered key cap out of the frame hole. Main Key Spare Key

LI- Installation & Adjustment Minimum Insert Before installing: The minimum insert depth the seat post must be inserted into the frame is 65mm.

Use a clean shop towel to wipe out any residual carbon gel paste from the inside the seat tube.

Apply fresh carbon friction gel to the seat post and place a little bit inside the seat tube.

Make sure the seal is in good condition and in place on the seat post. Maximum Insert The total length of seat post that may be inserted will vary with the frame size and should be checked in each frame. Insert the prepared seat post into the frame. Maintain the specified minimum insert.

Set the saddle height.

Insert 4 mm hex through the underside seat tube opening as shown.

Slide the seal against the frame. Seat Post Seal Sliding Wedge Wedge Bolt Cable (path) Apply heavy grease between sliding wedge and frame interface to prevent creaking. To check, carefully slide a seat post into the frame until it stops; then lift it up 5mm.

A seat post should not be bottomed out inside the frame at any time. Have your Cannondale Dealer size the seat post appropriately.

THE SEAT POST MUST ONLY BE CUT BY A PROFESSIONAL BIKE MECHANIC. Incorrectly cutting the seat post can result in damage leading to an accident. Do not use any spray cleaners or solvents to clean. Use only a clen dry shop towel.

For more information about carbon fiber seat posts, see also “Care and Maintenance of Carbon Fiber Seat Posts” in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual. Minimum Insert Maximum Insert Maintenance Periodically, remove the seat post and the clamp assembly to clean, inspect for damage and renew the application of grease and carbon gel. SM: MD: LG: XL: See also, “Seat Binder Inspection.” 138222 Rev 1 (03/20)

Apply carbon paste inside the seat tube and to the entire length of the seat post inserted into the frame. Technical Information Technical Information Seat Post Topstone Neo Carbon OMS Seat Post Seat Binder Inspection The internal seat binder system consists of a sliding clamp assembly and a nut base with a double-side adhesive holding it to a special mating surface inside the seat tube. The sliding clamp parts can be removed when the seat post is out. Always clean the surfaces of the sliding clamp by wiping them with a clean dry lint-free shop towel only. Do not soak the parts, as the internal washer is lubricated with grease. Solvents will wash out the lubricant and the assembly will have to be regreased by disassembling it completely.

If the nut base has become rotated, it should be removed and re-affixed to the frame. The process is described in the Service Instruction for the parts kit. These instructions are not provided in this manual. We reccommend that you have a Cannondale Dealer perform the replacement. Please Note: During first assembly of the nut base, it is important to not push on the 4mm allen when tightening onto the seatpost. This can disengage the adhesive tape before proper bonding. A poor bond can lead to misalignment. The 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5980 is pressure sensitive. To inspect

The pressure sensitive adhesive double-sided tape secures the aligned nut base in the frame. When applied the nut base and frame should be very clean for a good bond.

6. Check the condition of the clamp. The

seat post face and frame contact surfaces should be smooth. If they are not, the clamp assembly should be replaced with a new one. To remove the seat post. See previous page.

2. To remove the sliding clamp, use a 4

mm hex key and turn grub screw slowly clockwise until the clamp is disengaged from the nut base.

7. Clean the parts and inside the seat tube

with a dry shop towel and re-apply grease and carbon paste as indicated. Ready to accept seat post. This is CORRECT.

8. Returning the sliding clamp to the frame,

using the 4 mm hex to guide it to the nut base.

3. Use the 4 mm hex to push the clamp out

through the seat tube opening.

4. Look into the frame opening. Use a pen

flashlight. Check the position of the nut base. See CORRECT next page.

5. If the nut base is missing, or rotated or

damaged, a replacement is required. This service should be performed by a Cannondale Dealer. Turn the grub screw counter-clockwise to engage the nut base. Make sure it is enaged sufficiently to easily insert the seat post into the seat tube. Identification

Before and After Each Ride:

Clean and visually inspect the entire bike for cracks or damage. See “Inspect for Safety” in your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual.”

Make sure the battery is fully charged and mounted securely. Follow the drive system charging instructions. Battery charge discharge capacity will decline with usage. Have older battery replaced when is fails to charge within the time indicated, and/or to provide power reliably.

Test the drive-assist system, make sure the drive system functions normally.

If your E-Bike model was equipped a lighting system, brake lights, headlights, tailights and number plate illumination, make sure these lights are each functioning normally. Make sure the number plate is clean and readable.

Check the front and rear brake conditions, make sure they function normally.

Check tire pressure and wheel conditions. Check tire pressure and the condition of the wheels. Ensure the tires are not damaged and do not have excessive wear. Ensure there are no broken or missing wheel parts and that the wheels are firmly attached via secured skewers/axles.

Confirm the drive chain condition is in good condition, is clean and well-lubricated. Chain wear is greater compared with pedal only bikes. This requires frequent inspection and replacement. Ensure the gears operate normally through the entire range.

Check the bicycle brakes. Make sure they are working well. Brake system pad and disc wear is greater compared with pedal only bikes. This requires frequent inspection and replacement.

Inspect condition of electrical cables (i.e. Kinks free, no signs of abrasive wear). Check cable at dropout end when assembled properly will prevent cable from contacting brake rotor. Maintaining Your Bike’s Drive System Read your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual for information on an owner’s reposnsibility for the routine/ basic inspection and maintenance of your bike. NOTICE Drive-assist system components must only be serviced at an authorized service center. This will ensure the quality and safety of the drive-assist system. Consult with your Authorized Cannondale Dealer to create a complete maintenance program for your riding style, components, and conditions of use. Never attempt to open, remove drive system parts from the frame, or work on them yourself. Other components of the electric bicycle drive (e.g. drive chain, front chain ring, rear cassette, rear derailleur, crank arm) must be serviced by an Authorized Cannondale Dealer. Follow the maintenance recommendations given by the component manufacturer’s for the various parts of your bike.

2. Recommended after the first 150 km,

bring your bike to your Authorized Cannondale Dealer for an initial check-up. It should include checks of the drive-assist system, drive chain condition, proper shifting, accessories, wheels and tire condition, brakes, etc. This visit will help you establish a schedule for repeated visits appropriate for how and where you ride. Replacement parts must be identical to the original Cannondale specification for the bike. Failure to replace components with original specification can result in serious overload or other damage to the drive unit. Unauthorized opening or service of the drive unit will void the warranty.

3. Every 1000 km, bring your bike in to

your Authorized Cannondale Dealer for a regular detailed inspection, adjustment, and replacement of wear items across the entire bike. Electrically powered-assist cycle (electric bikes) can wear out wheels, tires, drive chain, brakes, more quickly. Perform a pre-ride-check before and after each ride. Frequent checks are necessary to identify and correct problems that can lead to an accident. Do not ride your bike if it does not operate normally or has broken, damaged, or missing parts. Have any damage inspected and repaired by your Cannondale Dealer before riding again. You can be severely injured, paralyzed or killed in an accident if you ignore this warning. 138222 Rev 1 (03/20)

E-Bike Maintenance Maintaining Your Bike Topstone Neo Carbon OMS Cleaning When cleaning your bike, use a damp sponge or a soft brush with only a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the sponge often. Do not spray water directly on controls or drive system components. NOTICE Do not use a pressure washer or dry with compressed air. This will force contaminants into sealed areas, electrical connections/components promoting corrosion, immediately damaging, or result in accelerated wear. Keep water away from the electrical components. Make sure the bike is secured upright and can not fall over accidentally while you are cleaning it. Don’t rely on the kickstand. Use a sturdy portable bicycle wheel stand to hold the bike upright. 138222 Rev 1 (03/20)
