• Push inward both pedals and fold them (2-4). Unlock and release the stem quick-release clamp (5) and fold the stem. Unlock and release the folding clamp (6), fold the bike until both wheels are parallel.

SAFETY NOTES:

Make sure all locks are properly fastened and closed before riding the folding e-bike.

Do not close the frame lever when the folding e-bike is folded, as this may damage the contacts during transport.

5. INTRODUCTION TO THE DRIVE SYSTEM

This system consists of the following components:

• Cadence-Sensor: Sensing your pedaling rate. Smart Controller: Real-time calculating and coordinating optimized power output.
• BMS: Battery with BMS (Battery Management System), providing electric power to the system while balancing the power consumption and protecting the battery cells.
• Brushless DC Motor: Provide the power assist. Smart Cycling computer: Control and display terminal.

As soon as you start pedaling, the system will sense your cadence (pedaling rate) and traveling velocity, and real-timely coordinate the electrical motor to provide the just right power assist that match your riding conditions, making your riding much easier and comfortable.

Note: This is a schematic representation of a folding e-bike with various possible equipment options. The options shown may vary.

6. BATTERY (REMOVAL/INSERTION, CHARGING, MAINTENANCE AND RANGE)

REMOVAL/INSERTION

Depending on the model, the battery can be removed and charged separately:

• Unlock the battery (7) with the key near the seat post (4) (see blue arrow), depending on lock type you have to unlock and hold the key in unlock position during removal of the battery.
• Grasp the battery under the tail light (12) and carefully pull it out to the rear without using force (long, green arrow). Canting or lifting/pressing down must be avoided.

Note: Depending on the model, the battery may also be in the frame and the removal of the battery may differ.

CHARGING

The battery must be charged before it is used for the first time. Please use exclusively the original charger designated by Blaupunkt for charging; otherwise it might damage the battery, and may even lead to fire and other hazard. Warranty expires, if a charger other than the designated is used.

• Check carefully whether the rated input voltage of the charger is consistent with the voltage of the power grid.
• Charge the battery in a dry place and ensure adequate ventilation. Neither the battery nor the charger may be covered during the charging process.

• Connect first the output plug of the charger (2) with the charging jack of the battery. Then connect the input plug (1) of the charger to the AC power supply. Depending on the model, you can remove the battery and charge it separately.
• Fully charging an empty battery takes 2-8 hours, depending on charging state. When the charge indicator light on the charger turns from red to green, the battery has been fully charged. After charging, first pull out the AC power plug (1) and then pull out the plug connected with the battery (2). Do not leave the battery connected to the charger permanently and/or unattended. Only charge the battery in rooms with a smoke detector installed. The use of inverters with a modified sine wave is not recommended and can lead to malfunctions.

MAINTENANCE

• You can get the best performance and life out of your battery by charging it regularly before use, even if it is not fully discharged.
• Charge the battery at room temperature. Use the battery in the temperature range from 0°C to 25°C. If you store a completely discharged battery for a long time, this leads to a permanent loss of function. Recharge an empty battery as soon as possible.
• If the battery is stored or unused for a longer period of time, keep the battery with approximately 50-70% charge and check regularly for any remaining charge. If the battery has a switch (model-specific), this must be switched off. A defective battery due to failure to charge does not constitute a warranty claim.
• Every battery with Li-ion technology is subject to an unstoppable chemical aging process; this process also takes place without using or charging the battery. The capacity of the battery decreases with age. Decreasing capacity is not a defect or reason for complaint.
• To avoid pollution, follow the local regulations for the proper disposal of the battery.

BATTERY RANGE

The specified, model-dependent range is a maximum. In our in-house driving tests, these ranges could be easily achieved or even exceeded. However, far shorter ranges of less than 20 km are also possible.

The range with one battery charge depends on many factors, such as:

• Assistance level / driver's own contribution - use smaller assistance levels and increase your own contribution to maximize the range.
• Driving speed - higher speeds, especially with higher support levels, cost more battery power.
• Cadence - higher cadence (faster pedaling) optimize efficiency, slow pedaling costs more energy.
• Starting and braking - Frequent braking and the associated starting drains the battery faster than long distances at a constant speed.
• Rider's physical fitness - the more and more often you ride a bike, the more you increase your physical fitness and will achieve greater ranges
• Shift behavior of the driver (if there is a shift) - correct shifting optimizes efficiency, starting and climbing is best done in a small, light gear. Road conditions - flat road surfaces reduce rolling resistance and increase range.
• Wind conditions / driver's posture - upright sitting positions increase wind resistance, and driving in headwind requires more energy. Weight - The total weight of the bike, luggage and rider should be kept as low as possible.
• Tire pressure - minimize the rolling resistance by fitting the tire pressure, a higher tire pressure ensures a lower rolling resistance.
• Temperature - With lower temperatures, the performance of the battery decreases. In winter, the ranges decrease with one battery charge. Store the battery at room temperature in winter and only insert it into the bike when you start your journey.
• Computer Performance Indicator - Some computer models show engine power, an average lower power rating means a longer range.

SAFETY NOTE: Don't use your folding e-bike if an error is shown, contact your dealer immediately!

8. SADDLE POSITION/ SADDLE HEIGHT (MODEL-SPECIFIC)

A properly adjusted saddle can minimize discomfort on the folding e-bike and make your pedaling more efficient. Take some time to get the correct saddle position as it will improve your overall riding experience. Saddles can be adjusted in three ways: saddle height, forward/backward position, and tilt.

Open the quick-release clamp on the seat post. If the saddle can be rotated or adjusted with the quick release closed, readjust the quick release using the thumbscrew. To do this, the quick release must be open. If it is too difficult to close the quick release, loosen the thumbscrew slightly.

Note: Some models use no quick-release clamp, in this case use the designated tool to release/fasten the screw which fixes the saddle.

The saddle height controls the leverage for your pedaling. Too low and it puts stress on your knees; too high and you may rub the saddle excessively. There are a number of ways to get the right saddle height. A good way of doing it is to sit on the folding e-bike with both feet on the pedals – get help from a second person not to fall. Place your pedals in the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock position. Your bottom leg should be fully extended when the heel is placed on the lower pedal. If it's angled, you need to raise the saddle. If you can't reach the pedal with your heel, then lower the saddle.

You can change the saddle angle and the front/rear position by loosening the Allen screw (1) and adjusting the saddle to your convenience. Tighten the Allen screw again when you have adjusted the correct position.

SAFETY NOTE: The seat post has a MAX marked line (that is the safety line), which indicates the maximum height to which the saddle can be raised. In all adjustments, the MAX marked line must always remain below the seat post clamp. Raising the saddle beyond the MAX line may cause serious injury to the rider.

9. BRAKE SYSTEM (MODEL-SPECIFIC)

Make sure how your brakes are working before you start driving.

Left Brake Lever: Front Brake

Right Brake Lever: Rear Brake

An additional coaster brake is available for some models with hub gear. You apply this brake by pressing the pedals against the normal pedaling movement.

On some models (e.g. the Foldable-E-Trike) the brakes can be locked to prevent it from rolling away. To do this, apply the brake, press the button on the brake and while the button is still being pressed, release the brake lever. The brake must be applied once before the journey, the button is now released and the brake is released.

SAFETY NOTE:

Please note that the effectiveness of the brakes can vary in wet conditions or on slippery surfaces. Please take into account the possibility of longer braking distances and slippery surfaces when driving and adapt your driving style accordingly (e.g. reduce speed, increase safety distances)!

Get new brake pads ready for ride:

Accelerate the bike to 25 km/h

Brake in a controlled but powerful way to a standstill.

Repeat this about 10-20 times.

SAFETY NOTICE: Please note that the brakes get hot if they are used frequently, touching them can cause injury!

10. HANDLE BAR/AHEAD STEM (MODEL-SPECIFIC)

Depending on the model, the handlebar still must be mounted on the bike:

To do this, remove the cover screwed onto the handlebar and put the handlebar on. The inner stem must not protrude, leave approx. 2 mm space here, otherwise the lid will no longer close flush. Then tighten the two screws. Finally, replace the cover.

For models with quick release(s) on the handlebar, make sure that the quick release(s) are securely closed to avoid twisting the handlebar.

11. GEAR SHIFT (MODEL-SPECIFIC)

Be sure to operate the gear shift only while pedaling slightly. Change gear for gear, do not apply any force during changing gears.

Derailleur

If you want to shift in a lighter gear, push the lever (A) forward step by step for each of the gears. If you move the lever further forward, you can also skip a gear. If you want to choose a heavier gear, push the button (B) to shift to each of the gears.

(A) Lever / gear down (B) Button / gear up

Hub gear

If you want to shift a lighter gear, turn the shifter forward (+) step by step for each of the gears. On the indicator will be shown the larger number. If you want to choose a heavier gear, turn the shifter back (-) step by step for each of the gears. On the indicator will be shown the smaller number. Gear ratios should be changed individually, step by step, avoiding shifting several gears at once.

12. SWIVELMECHANISM (MODEL-SPECIFIC)

OPERATION OF THE SWIVELMECHANISM

Due to the system, a trike cannot take a turn like a normal bicycle - the swivel mechanism allows more comfortable driving - more narrow turns / smaller turn radius and a more natural driving experience are possible with active swiveling.

When getting on the bike, the swivel mechanism must be blocked, the lever must be on LOCK as shown in the illustration.

If the swivel mechanism is not locked, move the lever to the LOCK position, move the front part of the TRIKE into a vertical position until the mechanism engages and the front part of the TRIKE is vertically blocked.

After sitting up or starting off, you can move the lever counter-clockwise to the SWING position, until the lever is parallel to the handlebar. This activates the panning. Alternatively, the mechanism can also remain permanently blocked while driving.

SAFETY NOTES:

If you unlock the mechanism, the trike may unexpectedly tip sideways. Please familiarize yourself carefully with the swivel mechanism and, if necessary, have someone help you until you feel safe.

If you move the mechanism to the LOCK position while driving, the driving behavior may change unexpectedly, as the mechanism engages and blocks when it reaches a vertical position.

In sharp turns, the maximum speed of 13 km/h must not be exceeded in order to ensure driving safety.

The swivel mechanism must be set to the LOCK position and locked in place when the folding e-trike is parked.

13. MAINTENANCE: BEFORE THE FIRST RIDE

Fully charge the battery before the first use.

Ensure that your bicycle is ready for use and is adjusted to fit your body, including setting position and fixture of the saddle and handlebar.

Check the locking / screwing of the wheels, handlebars, saddle, brakes as well as all important screws and quick releases.

Check the tire pressure (you will find information on the minimum / maximum pressure on the tires). As a rule of thumb as follows: If you press your thumb on the inflated tire, you should not be able to change its shape significantly by pressure.

Operate and ride your bicycle first in a quiet and safe place.

Make sure you know which lever operates which brake. Check the assembly and adjustment of the brakes. Push the bike forward with the brakes applied. The rear brake should completely prevent the rear wheel from moving, while the front brake should lift the rear wheel with its braking action off the ground. The steering of the folding e-bike should not rattle or have play (to the right / left) when braking.

Make sure that the computer does not show any error message

14. MAINTENANCE: BEFORE EACH RIDE

Check the tires and rims. Look for damage, cracks, deformation or wear and any foreign objects such as broken glass or sharp stones. If you find incisions, cracks or holes in the tires, please have your folding e-bike checked by qualified bicycle mechanics.

Check the frame, fork and assembled components for damage and loose parts.

Check the functionality of the brakes. Push the folding e-bike forward with the brakes applied. The rear brake should completely prevent the rear wheel from moving, while the front brake should lift the rear wheel with its braking action off the ground. The steering of the folding e-bike should not rattle or have play (to the right / left) when braking.

Do not use the folding e-bike if the computer displays an error message

15. MAINTENANCE: REGULAR CLEANING

Avoid using water to clean the folding e-bike, as the electrical and electronic systems may get wet, resulting in malfunction of the bicycle or personal injury.

Delicately wipe any dirty painted or plastic parts with a soft, damp cloth and a neutral cleaning solution. Carefully dry the parts with a soft, dry cloth.

DO NOT grease or use a greasy cloth to wipe down the electrical connectors, brake pads, wheels, tires or plastic parts.

16. MAINTENANCE: REGULAR CHECKS

The following points must be checked after no more than 500 km of driving or no later than every six months. We suggest having this work carried out by a specialist/ bicycle dealer. You will also find a service certificate for this at the end of this instruction booklet, which your dealer can stamp.

Please note that the maintenance intervals can vary depending on the area of application - e.g. very dusty operating environments may make smaller intervals necessary.

• Check the securing/ screwing of the wheels, handlebars, saddle and all important screws and quick releases.
• Check whether the battery is sufficiently charged.
• Check that the brake and shifter cables are adequately lubricated and that the brake pads are in good condition.
• Check whether the bicycle chain is adequately lubricated.
• Check gear shifter adjustment if gears shift not properly or chain rattles.
• Check whether the welds on the frame, spokes / rims are in good condition and free from damage, breakage, corrosion or oxidation.

Have you properly prepared the brakes before first use? - Is the adjustment of the brakes (including brake shoes) correct? Do the brake discs show discoloration because they have become too hot? Depending on weather conditions and temperature (e.g., cold and humid), this can be a normal phenomenon.

Discomfort / pain while driving:

• Are the saddle and handlebar adjusted properly?
• Due to the fact that this is a folding bike with relatively small wheels, the possible seating position may not be suitable for longer bike tours depending on the rider.

Repair/ maintenance/ replacement of brakes, gears, and other parts:

• Please contact your specialist dealer or the Blaupunkt service department for this; such maintenance work may only be carried out by trained personnel and is not listed in this manual for liability reasons.

The specialist dealer or the Blaupunkt service department will also not provide you with any instructions for this.
