DOC E-BIKE X2 is equipped with an electrical pedal assist system. To activate the pedal assist function, start pedalling as this will activate the effort sensor. If on the contrary you fail to pedal, the motor remains inactive. The electrical assistance is guaranteed up to 25 km/h, then the motor power will cut off. It will be possible to travel at greater speed, but only through personal effort, without the aid of the motor. Before using this bicycle in traffic, it is necessary to become familiar with its use in open places. In a few minutes you will familiarise yourself with the bike and find it extremely easy to use, easy to control and incredibly fun.

ASSEMBLY AND SETTINGS

DOC E-BIKE X2 should reach you fully assembled, with the exclusion of the PEDALS, which are supplied separately. Nevertheless, some parts (such as the saddle and handlebar) may arrive disassembled, or in some way require adjusting. HANDLEBAR The handlebar folds up to allow your DOC E-BIKE X2 to take up less space. To use it, put it in a vertical position and lock it in place with the stops provided.

CAUTION: ALWAYS CHECK

PEDALS The pedals will arrive disassembled and in a separate plastic bag. Carefully screw the pedals into the dedicated seat and tighten with the spanner supplied.

CAUTION: In order to avoid them coming loose during travel, the pedals (of all bicycles) have the characteristic feature of having the left pedal with opposite thread. In practice, when you screw them in, you will need to do so in the opposite direction, as though you were unscrewing.

SADDLE Insert the sleeve of the saddle in its housing and adjust the height, by turning the screws and quick-release terminals.5

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT The brake levers are made of aluminium alloy. Next to the brake lever is a cylinder to adjust the tension of the wiring. During braking, the electrical part of the motor is automatically disabled. The brakes are classic V brakes.

Use an Allen wrench to adjust the angle of the braking unit and a cross-tip screwdriver to adjust the distance of the brake pads from the rim. Brake pads must be kept parallel to rims, and the distance between the brake pad and the rim must be no more than 2-3 mm. (B+C)

PEDAL ASSIST SYSTEM (PAS) The button for activating the pedal assist system is on the right hand side of the handlebars. THE PEDAL ASSIST FUNCTION CANNOT BE ACTIVATED WITH THE BICYCLE AT A STANDSTILL. PAS operation:

• Pedal and simultaneously activate the PAS. This method entails a greater use of current and a greater wear of the motor.

• Pedal until you create a certain inertia for the bicycle, activate the PAS and resume pedalling. This method on the other hand allows greater savings in current and therefore a greater protection of the motor.

• Avoid sudden changes of speed.6

• The current regulator automatically cuts off the electricity supply in the event of overvoltage, re-establishing it when the electrical load is restored.

• Do not use the PAS in the rain or on excessively uneven ground.

• Turn off the PAS before stopping DOC E-BIKE X2, the last few pedal strokes should therefore be made without electrical assistance. BATTERY BATTERY COMPARTMENT The battery of X2 is installed inside the frame and it is removable. To get access to it, please unlock the lever that locks/unlocks the frame (point 3 in picture) and remove the battery. BATTERY CHARGE The battery of the DOC E-BIKE X2 can be charged:

• Directly on the bike, without taking the battery out.

• Taking the battery out and taking it home or to a place equipped with electrical outlet. Insert the power supply plug into the power inlet, placed on the battery. FRONT LIGHT DOC E-BIKE X2 is equipped with a 5-LED torch powered by common alkaline batteries.

Pursuant to the provisions of Directive 2002/24/EC, DOC E-BIKE X2 does not require type-approval for circulation as a motor vehicle, given that its maximum speed, solely with electric traction, cannot exceed 25 km/h and that its motor is not more powerful than 250W. Every road user however is obliged to follow the traffic regulations in force in their own country. So make sure that you do not need permissions from the authorities, nor a driving license to ride an e-bike. In many countries it is possible to circulate on roads and public streets only with the addition of the equipment prescribed by law, such as systems for luminous signalling, clothing with reflective bands and a protective helmet. Italian legislation does not differentiate an e-bike from a common bicycle. THE USE OF A HELMET AND ANY ADDITIONAL PROTECTION IS STILL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE E- BIKE AND FOR ALL BICYCLES IN GENERAL. SYMBOLS AND PICTOGRAMS ON THE PACKAGING/PRODUCT
