Do not modify the intended use of the vehicle in any way. The item is not suitable for stunts, competitions, transporting objects, towing other vehicles or trailers.

The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the rider's ear is less than 70 dB(A).

Using the electrically power assisted cycle

All users must have read and understood the instructions and information outlined in the manual.

If, during assembly, any factory defects are detected, certain steps are unclear or issues with assembly or adjustments occur, do not ride the vehicle and contact your dealer or visit www.argentobike.it for technical support.

Risks associated with using the electrically power assisted cycle

Despite the application of safety devices, to ensure safe use of the electrically power assisted cycle, all the safety provisions reported in this manual must be observed.

Always maintain concentration while riding the bike and do not underestimate the residual risks connected with use of the electrically power assisted cycle.

Responsibility

The rider is required to use the electrically power assisted cycle with utmost diligence and in full compliance with the road regulations and all cycling rules in force in the country of use.

It is important to bear in mind that when out in a public space or on the road, even when the instructions in the manual are observed to the letter, the rider is not immune to injury caused

by infractions or inappropriate actions taken towards other vehicles, obstacles or persons. Misuse of the item or non-compliance with the instructions provided in this manual may cause severe injury.

Riders must also ensure that the electrically power assisted cycle is kept clean, in perfect working order and serviced. They must diligently carry out the safety checks which are their responsibility, as well as preserve all the documentation about product maintenance.

Riders must carefully assess any weather conditions which could make it potentially dangerous to use the electrically power assisted cycle.

This product is a vehicle, therefore, the faster is it goes, the longer the braking distance required. We, therefore, recommend moderating your speed and maintaining an adequate braking distance if you are riding in adverse weather conditions and/or heavy traffic.

The braking distance increases on wet, slippery, muddy or icy roads and the tyre grip decreases significantly with the risk of the wheels skidding and loss of balance compared to dry roads.

It is, therefore, essential to ride the bike with greater care, maintain a suitable speed and safety distance from other vehicles or pedestrians.

Take extra care when riding on unfamiliar roads.

For your safety, we recommend wearing suitable protective equipment (helmet, knee and elbow pads) to protect yourself from any falls or injuries while riding the bike. When allowing others to use the bike, ensure that the rider wears the safety equipment and explain how to operate the vehicle. To avoid injury, do not allow other persons to use the item if they do not know how to use it.

Wear shoes before using the item.

The bike has been designed to allow the load of a maximum overall weight (rider and any load being carried) that does not exceed the value indicated in the product data sheet.

Avoid using the product, under all circumstances, if the total load transported exceeds the recommended weight to avoid the risk of damaging the integrity of the structural and electronic components of the bike.

The electrically power assisted cycle (EPAC), as specified in the provisions of the current reference standard EN 15194, is a means of transport intended to transport one person only.

The transport of a passenger is only permitted within the framework of the regulations in force in the country where it is ridden regarding: the minimum age of the rider, maximum age of the passenger transported, provision of legally approved and authorised passenger transport devices.

It is the user's responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the devices used for passenger transport in terms of construction characteristics, safety systems, anchoring systems and their installation and assembly on the electrically power assisted cycle based on its structure and within the permitted load limits (maximum load supported by the bike and by the luggage rack supplied, if present).

The user is also responsible for the provision and installation of devices used for the transport of objects and animals (e.g. luggage racks, luggage bags, storage baskets, etc.) in compliance with the legally approved and authorised provisions in the country of use and the limitations of the structure within the permitted load limits (maximum load supported by the bike and by the luggage rack supplied, if present).

CAUTION

The installation of accessories and equipment on the bike, not only affect the performance of the bike and how it is used, but can also cause damage if they are unsuitable, thus compromising correct operation and safety conditions during use.

For information on the supply and installation of equipment deemed suitable for the bike, please contact your authorised dealer or specialised operators.

Warnings for users

• The electrically power assisted cycle can only be used by adults and skilled teenagers.
• Do not take alcohol or drugs before riding the electrically power assisted cycle.
• This electrically power assisted cycle model is designed and built for outdoor use on public roads or cycle tracks.
• Do not attempt to make the electrically power assisted cycle exceed the performance levels for which it was designed; do not ride on surfaces with a slope greater than 10%, on uneven and rough ground (bumpy road surfaces, with potholes, depressions, obstacles).
• Never ride the electrically power assisted cycle with any of its parts disassembled.
• Avoid uneven surfaces and obstacles.
• Ride with both hands on the handlebars.
• Before use, replace any worn and/or damaged parts and check that the safety devices are working properly.
• Keep children away from plastic items (including packaging materials) and small parts that may result in suffocation.
• Supervise children to make sure they do not play with the product.
• Remove any sharp edges caused by misuse, breakage or damage to the item.
• Pay particular attention when riding the bike near pedestrians and make sure you slow down and signal your presence to avoid frightening them when arriving from behind.
• Assemble the item correctly.

CAUTION

How to use

The electrically power assisted cycle is a bicycle fitted with an auxiliary electric motor that is activated only when the pedals are turned.

The motor does not, therefore, replace the work performed by your leg muscles, but assists them so they work less hard by enabling the electrical and electronic components supplied with the product, i.e. the battery, handlebar controls, sensors and control electronics (control unit).

More specifically, the electric motor is powered by a battery and operated by a unit that controls the delivery of power and additional thrust provided to assist the effort made by the rider's muscles when pedalling based on the real-time reading of values detected by a series of pedal-assist sensors (PAS). These sensors are positioned on the outside of the frame or inside the components and are based on the control parameters entered by the user via the handlebar controls (display).

In accordance with the provisions of European Directive 2002/24/EC, the electric motor supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle, is only activated to assist the user when pedalling and will be disabled upon reaching a speed of 25 km/h.

The electrically power assisted cycle has been designed and manufactured to be ridden outdoors on public roads and cycling paths, on both tarmacked surfaces and/or ground that is suitable for the specific technical and structural features of the bike.

Any changes to its construction may compromise the behaviour, safety and stability of the electrically power assisted cycle and may cause an accident.

Any other types of use, or any extensions of use beyond the one intended, do not correspond to the intended use attributed by the manufacturer and the latter, therefore, disclaims all liability for any resulting damage.

The autonomy of the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle and, therefore, the relevant distance data estimated in km, may vary significantly depending on the specific mode of use (total load transported, how hard the rider pedals the bike, level of electric pedal assistance detected, how often the rider departs and restarts), the mechanical and electrical conditions of the product (tyre pressure and wear, battery efficiency level) and external influences (slopes and road surface, atmospheric conditions).

Before each use, carefully check that the brakes are working correctly and are not worn; check the tyre pressure, the wear of the wheels and battery charge status.

Regularly check that the tightness of the various elements secured by bolts. The nuts and all the other self-tightening parts can become loose so, these components need to be periodically checked and tightened.

Like all mechanical components, the item is subject to wear and tear. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in a variety of ways. If the useful life of a component is exceeded, it could break unexpectedly and injure the user. Any cracks,

scratches or changes in colour in areas subject to high levels of stress indicate that the life of the component has been reached and must be replaced.

Permitted speed

The maximum allowed legal speed is 25km/h.

The control unit has been configured to prevent any change to the maximum speed permitted.

Any changes to the control unit which have not been authorised by the manufacturer will exclude the latter from any liability related to injury caused to persons and/or damage to property, and will invalidate the bike's warranty terms and conditions.

Risk of injury

Ride at a speed and behave in keeping with your ability; never use the electrically power assisted cycle over 25Km/h as this could cause serious damage and injury to yourself or other people.

Place of use

The electrically power assisted cycle can be used outdoors providing there are no adverse weather conditions (rain, hail, snow, strong wind, etc.).

Maximum permissible temperature: +40°C

Minimum permissible temperature: +0°C

Maximum permissible humidity: 80%

The bike must be used in a place with a flat, compact, smooth tarmacked surface, with no potholes or depressions and free of obstacles and patches of oil.

The place of use must also be well lit by either natural or artificial light in order to ensure that the route and controls of the electrically power assisted cycle can be viewed correctly (recommended lighting 300 to 500 lux).

Improper use and contraindications

The actions described below, which obviously cannot cover the entire range of potential possibilities of “poor use” of the electrically power assisted cycle, are to be considered strictly prohibited.

DANGER

It is strictly prohibited to:

• Use the electrically power assisted cycle for uses other than the ones for which it has been manufactured.
• Ride the electrically power assisted cycle if the rider's weight exceeds the permitted limit.
• Use the electrically power assisted cycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Use the electrically power assisted cycle in areas at a risk of fire, explosions or in places with a corrosive and/or chemically active atmosphere.
• Use the electrically power assisted cycle in adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, hail, snow, strong wind, etc.).
• Use the electrically power assisted cycle in poorly lit areas.
• Ride across or remain on uneven or rough ground (bumpy roads with potholes, depressions, obstacles, etc.) to avoid the risk of falls and injury to the rider and damage to the bike.
• Charge the battery in an environment that is either too hot or insufficiently ventilated.
• Cover the battery while its charging.
• Smoke or use open flames near the charging area.
• Perform any type of maintenance work with the battery connected.
• Use non-original spare parts.

! CAUTION

Verify and regularly check that the various bolted elements, fastening screws, quick releases and pass-through pins are correctly tightened, and perform an overall check to ensure that all the parts are in order.

The nuts and all the other self-tightening parts can become loose so, these components need to be periodically checked and tightened.

The recommended tightening torques for fastening the specific parts/components on the bike (e.g. handlebars, handlebar attachment and stem, saddle, saddle clamp, wheels, etc.) can be identified depending on the relevant elements. An average torque of 20Nm can be used for all other fastenings.

In the absence of precise technical indications, you can check if the parts/components fastened by lever systems (quick release, handlebar stem, seat clamp, etc.), are correctly tightened by checking that the part in question/component being fastened does not move and/or is not unstable if you attempt to remove and/or detach it (handlebar, seat post, wheels, etc.). The tightening lever should be resistant when it is closed (i.e. it leaves a mark on the palm of the hand used to tighten the lever, the so-called “imprint on palm”). It should also require a considerable force to be exerted to open it again after it has been closed.

Rear light

The rear LED light is already installed on the end of the rear luggage rack.

It can be switched on and of manually using the button on the light itself or, at the same time as the front LED light is switched ON/OFF via the control on the display, if this option is included.

Battery key set

The electrically power assisted cycle is supplied with 2 keys uniquely associated with the key lock on the battery installed on the bike to allow it to be released and removed and, if applicable, to be enabled.

Identify the keys on the bike, located near the handlebar or attached to another component of the electrically power assisted cycle (frame or battery), taking care that they do not get mislaid.

Check with negative outcome

If, during assembly, you encounter any manufacturing defects, unclear steps or difficulties with assembly, do not ride the electrically power assisted cycle and contact the after-sales service of your authorised dealer or visit the website www.argentobike.it

Battery charging

Before using the electrically power assisted cycle for the first time, the battery must be fully charged using the battery charger supplied.

The average time battery charging time is between approximately 4 and 6 hours, depending on the residual charge of the battery.

We recommend charging the battery with the specific battery charger after each use of the electrically power assisted cycle.

Only use the battery charger provided or an approved model with the same technical specifications, taking care to observe the same methods and precautions of use indicated on the charged or in the manual.

EPAC Battery charger INPUT Battery charger OUTPUT
Piuma AC 100V-240V 1.8A (Max) DC 42V 2.0A (Max)
Piuma + AC 100V-240V 1.8A (Max) DC 42V 2.0A (Max)
Piuma-S AC 100V-240V 1.8A (Max) DC 42V 2.0A (Max)
Piuma-S + AC 100V-240V 1.8A (Max) DC 42V 2.0A (Max)

Make sure that the electrically power assisted cycle is switched of and the battery is switched of/disabled (if required by the model of battery supplied with the bike).

Make sure that the battery charger, its jack and the charging port of the battery are dry.

Connect the battery charger jack to the battery charging port and then, the mains power socket (230V/50Hz).

Using a battery charger that differs from the one supplied, which is not suitable or approved, to charge the e-bike battery may damage it or involve other potential risks.

Never leave the e-bike unsupervised while it is charging.

Do not switch on or ride the e-bike during charging.

Keep out of the reach of children during charging. Do not place anything on top of the battery charger during use; do not allow any liquid or metal to get inside the battery charger.

The battery charger heats up during the battery charging cycle.

Do not charge the battery immediately after use. Allow the battery to cool down before charging it.

The item should not be charging for extended periods. Overcharging reduces battery life and poses additional potential hazards.

Do not allow the battery to completely discharge to avoid damaging it and causing it to lose efficiency.

Damage caused by the battery being left uncharged for a long period is irreversible and is not covered by the limited warranty. Once the damage has occurred, the battery cannot be recharged (the battery must not be dismantled by unqualified personnel, as this could lead to electric shocks, short circuits or even major safety incidents).

Charge the battery at regular intervals (at least once every 3-4 weeks), even if the electrically power assisted cycle has not been used for an extended period.

Charge the battery in a dry environment, away from flammable materials (e.g. materials that may burst into flame), preferably at an indoor temperature of 15-25°C, but never below 0°C or above +45°C.

Carry out regular visual inspection of the charger and charger cables. Do not use the battery charger if it is damaged.

Autonomy and battery duration

The autonomy of the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle and, therefore, the relevant distance data estimated in km, may vary significantly depending on the specific mode of use (total load transported, how hard the rider pedals the bike, level of electric pedal assistance detected, how often the rider departs and restarts), the mechanical and electrical conditions of the product (tyre pressure and wear, battery efficiency level) and external influences (slopes and road surface, atmospheric conditions).

The capacity and performance of the battery will decrease over time due to the electrochemical deterioration of the battery cells.

It is impossible to predict its duration with accuracy, since it depends above all on the type of use and stress to which it is subjected.

To help make the battery last as long as possible, store it in a dry place and away from direct exposure to sunlight and preferably at an internal temperature of 15-25^ C, but never below 0^ or above +45°C. Charge it, if possible, at room temperature and avoid overcharging or completely discharging it during use. Charge the battery at regular intervals even if you do not use the electrically power assisted cycle for a prolonged period (at least once every 3-4 weeks).

Cold, in general, decreases battery performance. If used during the winter, the battery should be charged and stored at room temperature and inserted in the electrically power assisted cycle only shortly before it is used.

8. First use

Before using the electrically power assisted cycle, check that the battery is charged and correctly installed, to allow the bike to be started and used efficiently and safely. It is always advisable to carefully check each part, taking care to perform the necessary adjustments of the relevant mechanical components, directly or with the assistance of specialised technicians, see: saddle and seat post adjustment and tightening, handlebar and stem adjustment and tightening, brake adjustment, gearbox adjustment, chain and gear lubrication, wheel check and tyre pressure, general check of the correct tightening of the fastening screws, quick release mechanisms and pass-through pins, as well as a general check that all the parts are in order.

Saddle

The position on the bicycle is very important to ensure the optimal comfort when using the bike, correct pedalling and to avoid any safety problems.

It is, therefore, important that the saddle and the seat post are positioned and adjusted to suit the rider.

The saddle can be adjusted in height, forward position and angle.

To adjust the height of the saddle, the clamp that secures the seat post in the frame must be loosened and either raised or lowered as needed, taking care not to pull it out beyond the limit indicated to avoid the risk of breaking the frame. Once the best position has been found in compliance with the precautions for extracting the seat post, secure it by tightening the relevant clamp until it is correctly tightened to prevent it from moving and/or becoming unstable.

Generally speaking, the best way to adjust the height of the saddle is to check that when your foot is placed on the pedal at its lowest point, your leg is almost completely extended.

To adjust the angle and how far forward the saddle is positioned, loosen the relevant fastening mechanism in the seat post bracket, so you can tilt the saddle and move it forward as desired. Then, tighten the fastening system to avoid any play or movement.

Handlebars

The height and angle of the handlebars can be adjusted by the fastening systems on the handlebar stem and/or handlebar attachment.

To adjust the height of the handlebars, loosen the clamp holding the telescopic handlebar stem in place, allowing it to be pulled out or pushed in to either raise or lower the handlebar until the desired position is set. Secure it by tightening the relevant clamp until it can no longer be moved. In other cases, the height can be adjusted either by loosening the screw that secures the stem inside the fork tube (where present) or by intervening on the joint on the handlebar attachment.

To adjust the angle of the handlebars, loosen the clamp on the stem, rotate the handlebars until the desired position is reached and secure it by tightening the clamp until it can no longer be moved.

Brakes

The braking system installed on the bike includes either mechanical or hydraulic disc brakes which can be applied on the front and rear wheel via the levers on the handlebar, each one of which is fitted with a device (cut-of sensor) which cuts of the thrust of the motor by operating the brake lever to which it is connected.

The brake lever on the right side of the handlebar activates the rear brake and stops the rear wheel whereas the brake lever on the left side of the handlebar activates the front brake and stops the front wheel.

The front and rear brake levers must be positioned and adjusted so they are comfortable to use and favour the natural position of the hand and fingers used to pull them, thus minimising the force and amount of time required to pull the brake lever whilst ensuring that the brake is applied evenly.

Check the operation of the brakes by performing a braking test at low speed (max 6km/h) in an area free of obstacles.

As the brake pads on the callipers become worn and their thickness is reduced, the brake lever will have to be pulled further to exert the same braking force.

If the bike has a mechanical disc braking system, to compensate for this type of wear, the brake cable adjustment ring located behind the corresponding lever will need to be adjusted to restore optimal braking conditions; if the brake pads are very worn, they must be replaced.

If hydraulic disc brakes are present, progressive wear of the pads installed on the relevant callipers, which reduces their thickness, will be automatically compensated for by the valve system supplied with the braking system, guaranteeing the same braking efficiency until the pads are worn out and need replacing.

Gear change and drive

The cable gear change system supplied with the product is indexed and allows you to change the gear ratio and pedal stroke metrics by adjusting the control device on the handlebar, determining the sideways movement of the chain on the corresponding sprocket of the cassette installed on the rear wheel via the derailleur.

Make sure the gear change and its adjustment are correct and that the chain and drive gears are clean and properly lubricated.

Wheels and tyres

Check the correct centring, suitable tensioning of the spokes and correct installation and tightening of the pass-through pins and/or the quick release mechanism of the front wheel (if present).

Check for the presence and correct installation of the reflectors.

Check the condition and state of wear of the tyres. There must not be any cuts, cracks, foreign bodies, unusual swelling, visible inner tube or other damage.

Check the tyre pressure by referring to the specific range of minimum and maximum values shown on the side of the tyre (suitable pressure must be customised according to the weight being carried, the weather conditions and road surface).

Correctly pumped tyres reduce the risk of punctures and deterioration as well as improving the movement of the wheel.

9. Storage, maintenance and cleaning

To ensure and maintain a good level of safety and functionality of the bike, it must be regularly checked and periodically serviced.

Some checks and servicing tasks can be carried out directly by the user or anyone who has basic mechanical skills, ability and access to the right tools.

Other operations require the expertise and specific tools of a qualified operator.

The dealer will be able to provide all the information about the checks which can be carried out directly by the user and suggest which routine maintenance tasks should be periodically carried out based on how frequently the bike is used and the conditions of its use.

All the maintenance operations must be performed with the battery detached and the bike resting on the kickstand.

The different parts that make up the bike are subject to various types of wear from use.

In particular, the following components should be regularly checked and serviced: tyres, wheels, brakes, gears, chain, suspension and frame.

The tread of the tyres installed on the bike is liable to be consumed which can be accentuated by how and where it is used. The rubber of the tyres also tends to harden over time.

The correct pressure of the inner tube in the tyres should be constantly checked to reduce the risk of punctures, limit deterioration and ensure safer use and performance of the bike.

Periodically inspect the state of wear and ageing/deterioration of the tyres and replace the tyres, if necessary, with ones that have the same characteristics.

The correct servicing of the wheels, which become worn through use, means that they must be periodically checked to ensure they are correctly centred and that the tensioning of the spokes is uniform and suitable for the type of rim. The hub bearings should be inspected, cleaned and lubricated or replaced, if necessary.

The integrity of the rims supplied with the bike must be constantly checked to make sure that they are not deformed, cracked or dented and/or show any other signs of corrosion and damage that require them to be replaced for safety reasons.

To ensure that the brakes work correctly, periodically replace the brake pads installed on the callipers when they reach a thickness of no less than 1 mm, in addition to regularly checking the state of wear and integrity of the discs.

If the bike is fitted with mechanical disc brakes, the state of wear and tear of the steel cables on the inside the braking system sheaths must be periodically checked and replaced to prevent the risk of breakage.

If the bike is fitted with hydraulic disc brakes and there is a decrease in braking efficiency, the mineral oil in the hydraulic system circuit must be drained and replaced.

The correct functioning of the electrically power assisted cycle transmission is guaranteed by adequate maintenance and adjustment of the relevant components.

The cable gear change system supplied with the product, which undergoes constant stress during use and operation as a result of mechanical tension, may easily lose its adjustment setting. The correct operating conditions of the indexed rear derailleur are guaranteed by adjusting the derailleur (stop screws) and adjusting the gear change cable.

The chain and the relevant drive gears are subject to wear due to use and must be regularly cleaned and lubricated with specific products (drip or spray, dry or wet) adapted to the season and methods of use of the product and periodically replaced in order to guarantee their integrity and ensure they run smoothly and quietly.

Lubricate the parts in question only after they have been properly cleaned and degreased. Then, remove any excess lubricant if oily lubricants have been used.

The front and rear suspensions (where present) cannot be adjusted unless otherwise specified in this manual as they do not require specific maintenance; they only need to be checked to ensure they are working correctly and there is no play.

The linings of the suspensions installed on the bike already include the lubricant (where present)needed to ensure their correct operation and do not, therefore, require additional lubrication.

The bike frame must be inspected regularly to exclude the presence of any signs of cracking and/or so-called “material fatigue” so that any intervention required to reduce and/or eliminate the risk of damage and/or breakage can be promptly performed.

Each part of the fastening mechanisms on the bike should be carefully inspected and a preventive and periodic general check performed of the correct tightening of the self-tightening nuts and fastening screws which may lose their efficiency through use and over time.

! CAUTION

All the controls must be checked to ensure they work correctly after every routine maintenance intervention.

Maintenance notes

Every maintenance job must take place with the battery disconnected.

During each maintenance phase operators must be equipped with the necessary accident prevention equipment.

The tools used for maintenance must be suitable and good quality.

Do not use petrol or flammable solvents as cleaning agents but always use non-flammable and non-toxic solvents.

Limit the use of compressed air as much as possible and protect yourself with goggles with side shields.

Never use naked flame as a means of lighting when carrying out checks or maintenance work.

After each maintenance or adjustment job ensure that no tools or foreign bodies remain inside the organs of movement of the assisted pedal bike.

This manual does not include detailed information about disassembly and unscheduled maintenance as these operations must always and exclusively be carried out by the after-sales service team of the authorised dealer.

The after-sales service team is able to provide all the necessary information and respond to any queries in order to care for and keep your electrically power assisted cycle in perfect working condition.

Cleaning

Cleaning the electrically power assisted cycle is not only a matter of decorum, but also allows any defects to be detected immediately.

The battery must be detached and removed in order to wash the bike, preferably using a sponge and/or a soft cloth and water, with the possible addition of a specific neutral detergent and taking particular care when handling the electronic parts.

It is strictly forbidden to aim pressurised water jets at the various electrical parts, the motor, display and battery. After washing, it is important to dry all the washed components, as well as the frame and the braking surfaces of the rims, with a second soft cloth and/or dry everything completely with low pressure compressed air and check that there is no residual moisture on the electrical components.

If there are stains on the body of the scooter, wipe with a damp cloth. If the stains persist, apply neutral soap, brush out with a toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth.

Do not clean the items with alcohol, petrol, paraffin or other corrosive or volatile chemical solvents to prevent severe damage.

All the cleaning operations of the electrically power assisted cycle must be performed with the battery removed.

Water seeping into the battery may cause damage to internal circuits and risk of fire or explosion. Should you suspect that water may have entered the battery, stop using the battery immediately and return it to your dealer's after-sales service for checking.

Preservation and storage

If the electrically power assisted cycle needs to be stored and will not be used for extended periods of time, it must be kept in a dry, cool, closed space, that is ventilated if possible. The following operations should also be carried out:

- Carry out a general cleaning of the electrically power assisted cycle.

• Remove the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle from its seat and, after disabling it using the relevant key or switch (if present), store it in a dry place, away from flammable materials (e.g. materials that could catch fire), preferably at an internal temperature of 15-25°C, never lower than 0°C or higher than +45°C. Periodically charge the battery to prevent the voltage level from dropping excessively, causing the risk of damage and loss of efficiency.
• Protect exposed electrical contacts with antioxidant products.
• Grease all surfaces not protected by anti-corrosion paints or treatments.

Do not keep or store the bike outdoors or inside a vehicle for a prolonged period of time. Excessive sunlight, overheating, and excessive cold accelerate tyre ageing and jeopardize the life of both the item and the battery. Do not expose it to rain or water or immerse it in water to wash it.

Lifting

The weight of the electrically power assisted cycle means it must be lifted by two adults taking extra care to avoid the risk of personal harm (crushing and injury) or damage to property (knocks and impacts).

Transportation

To ensure the safe transportation of the electrically power assisted cycle inside or outside the vehicle used for transportation (e.g. bicycle rack), remove the battery and any accessories and ensure that the bike is properly secured (with straps or cables) and hooking devices in good condition and installed so the frame, cables and other parts of the product are not damaged.

It is the user's responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the equipment used to transport the bike by fitting and installing devices (e.g. bike racks) in accordance with the legal requirements of the country in which it is ridden.

The manufacturer is not liable for any breakages caused by lifting and/or transporting the electrically power assisted cycle after delivery.

Handling of the electrical or electronic device at the end of its service life (applicable in all European Union countries and in other European systems with separate collection systems)

Symbol of a trash bin crossed with diagonal lines, no text or numbers present

This symbol on the product or packaging indicates that the product should not be considered as normal household waste, but should be taken to a facility authorised to dispose of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

By ensuring the item is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which may otherwise be caused by inappropriate disposal.

Recycling materials will help to preserve natural resources.

For more detailed information about the recycling and disposal of this item, you can contact the local waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased it.

In any case, disposal must be carried out in accordance with the legislation in force in the country of purchase.

More specifically, consumers must not dispose of WEEE as municipal waste, but must dispose of this type of waste separately, in one of two possible ways:

• By taking it to municipal collection centres (also called eco-collection centres or recycling facilities), directly or through the collection services of municipal companies, where available.
• By taking it to shops selling new electrical and electronic equipment.

Here, very small items of the WEEE type (with the longest side less than 25 cm) can be left free of charge, while larger ones can be left on a 1-for-1 basis, i.e., you can leave the old item when you buy a new one having the same function.

Moreover, the 1-on-1 mode is always guaranteed when the consumer purchases a new EEE, regardless of the size of the WEEE.

In the event of unlawful disposal of electrical and electronic equipment, specific sanctions may be applied by the laws governing the protection of the environment.

If the WEEE contains batteries or accumulators, they must be removed and subjected to specific separate collection.

CAUTION

Handling of spent batteries (applicable in all European Union countries and in other European systems with separate collection systems)

Symbol of a trash bin crossed with no text or numbers, representing waste sorting or disposal (no text present)

This symbol on the product or packaging indicates that the battery pack should not be treated as normal household waste. On some types of batteries, this symbol may be used in combination with a chemical symbol.

The chemical symbols for mercury (Hg) or lead (Pb) are added if the battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury or 0.004% lead.

By ensuring that the batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which may otherwise be caused by inappropriate disposal. Recycling materials will help to conserve natural resources. Where the items require a fixed connection to an internal battery for safety, performance or data protection reasons, it must only be replaced by qualified service personnel.

Deliver the product at the end of its service life to collection centres suitable for the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment: this ensures that the battery inside it is also treated correctly.

For more detailed information about disposal of the dead battery, contact the local waste disposal service or the shop where it was purchased.

In any case, disposal must be carried out in accordance with the legislation in force in the country of purchase.
