Intended use As an EPAC (an electrically power-assisted cycle)/pedelec in the category of “City-Trekking E-Bikes” category, this product is intended for the private use of persons aged 14 years and above and is not suitable for commercial use. Because of its design and equipment the product is intended for use on public streets and paved roads. The technical safety equipment required for this purpose has been included in delivery and must be inspected regularly by the user or by a technician and refurbished if necessary. The manufacturer and dealer shall not be liable for any other use beyond this nor for non-com- pliance with the technical safety instructions con- tained in these instructions for use and for any consequential damages. This applies particularly to the use of the product on extreme terrain, when overloaded and if deficiencies have been improperly removed, as well as in the case of improper use. Failure to comply brings considerable risk of injury from material breakdowns and falls. Description EPAC/pedelec A pedelec assists the rider’s pedalling with the aid of an electric motor up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h. The drive is activated as soon as you step on the pedals. The power output depends on the level of assistance set on the dis- play (13). As soon as you stop pedalling or as soon as you have reached a speed of 25 km/h, the assistance from the power unit is switched off. The power unit is automatically reactivated as soon as you step on the pedals and speed is below 25 km/h. Note: The A-rated sound pressure level in the ears of the rider is less than 70 dB(A). Legal requirements

• The product is a mode of transport and is subject to the provisions of the (German) Road Traffic Type Approval Law (StVZO).

• The (German) StVZO stipulates that every bicycle must be equipped with two inde- pendently operable brakes, a clear-sounding bike bell, front headlight, reflector, reflector pedals, spoke reflectors for impellers or reflec- tive strips, a white front light, and another red, large-sized reflector at the rear.

• Bikes not equipped in accordance with (German) StVZO or with equipment that is defective may not be used on public roads.

• Driving licence is not required.

• Insurance is not required.

• In principle the applicable regulations are the (German) Road Traffic Type Approval Law (in UK: the Highway Code)/or the respective German federal state in which the product is being ridden.

• These regulations apply insofar as possible throughout the European Union. Bear in mind that in addition the use of EPACs may also be governed by other national legal provisions.

• Children may not play with the product. Warn children specifically that the product is not a toy.

• Cleaning and user maintenance may not be performed by children without supervision.

• When not in use, the product must be stored out of the reach of children. Risk of injury!

• The device can be used by children above the age of 14 and by people with reduced physi- cal, sensory, or mental capacities, or by those lacking experience and knowledge provided they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the device and understand the risks involved. Children may not play with the device.

• This product is not a device manufactured in accordance with medical requirements. To prevent any interference with your pacemaker or medical device it is imperative that you consult your GP or the manufacturer of the medical device in question before using the product.

• Pregnant women as well as persons with disabilities, heart problems, or head, shoulder, or neck complaints (or having had previous operations on these parts of the body) should not use this product. Contact your doctor before using the product.

• Do not use the product after consuming alcohol, sedatives, or psychotropic drugs that could affect your powers of judgement.

• Always wear a bicycle helmet and other appropriate protective equipment.

• Always wear shoes that can give you a prop- er grip on the surface of the pedals, especially also in wet weather.

• Before riding, check that brakes, lights, and other safety-related parts are working properly.

• Make sure that frame size and operating controls are adjusted to your body size.

• Do not make any adjustments to brakes while riding.

• Do not ride with the rechargeable battery tak- en out. The rechargeable battery serves as a power source for the lights, which means that riding with the rechargeable battery removed affects how the lights work. Contravention con- stitutes an administrative offence and can lead to fines, loss of insurance cover, or accidents or falls that result in injuries.

• The product is exposed to wear and heavy loads. Different materials and components can react in various different ways to wear or continuous loading. If the planned period of use of a component is exceeded, it may sud- denly fail and thus possibly cause injury to the rider. Any kind of cracks, scoring, or changes in the colour of paint in heavily stressed areas indicates that the component’s period of use is coming to an end and the component must then be replaced.

• Do not tamper with the maximum assistance speed or the handling by changing the pa- rameters. Tampering constitutes an administra- tive offence and can lead to fines, loss of insur- ance cover, or accidents or falls that result in injuries. Furthermore, making changes of this kind increases the wear on the drive system and the components considerably. This also makes all warranty claims and guarantees null and void. Do not make any general changes to components that affect the performance or maximum assisted speed of your ride, espe- cially not any that would increase them. Risk of burns!

• After a ride do not touch the housing of the power unit or the brakes with unprotected hands or legs. Under extreme conditions - with sustained high torques at low speeds or on ascents and when carrying loads, for instance - temperatures in the housing and the brakes can become very high. Dangers from taking risks when riding!

• Be mindful not only of obstacles directly in front of you but also those at a distance - unim- peded vision contributes to safe use!

• When riding in a group keep a safe enough distance from the other riders. This should be a distance of at least one metre on all sides from the other rider in order to avoid accidents.

• Be considerate of other road users, walkers, and children. Always assume that others may be negligent. Never ride without lights when it is dark!

• Never ride with no hands.

• Bear in mind that handling can be severely affected when carrying an additional load.

• Never ride two-up on the product.

• Comply with all national road traffic laws and regulations. Assembly Note: Figs. B-O serve as examples for both model numbers Assembling the handlebar/ stem combination(fig. B) The product comes delivered with the handle- bar/stem combination (6) positioned parallel to the frame (7) and is not ready to be ridden. As delivered it comes with the screws (6a) loose.

1. Turn the handlebar/stem combination clockwise

90°. Align frame, handlebar/stem combination and front wheel (8) flush in one alignment.

Note: The left pedal is tightened counterclock- wise. Adjusting the saddle post with inte- grated rechargeable battery (fig. E) WARNING Risk of injury! An open quick-release lever can lead to heavy falls and injuries.

• Close the quick-release lever fully until it fits tightly and tighten the knurled screw (27).

1. Loosen the quick-release lever (11) of the

saddle post with integrated rechargeable battery (14).

2. Open the lock (15) with the key (1).

3. To adjust the height of the saddle post with in-

tegrated rechargeable battery, turn the saddle (10) 90 degrees and pull the saddle post with integrated rechargeable battery out of the frame smoothly and evenly to avoid twisting it. Note: The saddle post with integrated recharge- able battery is lubricated. Please mind your clothing! Important: Do not extend the saddle post with integrated rechargeable battery above the line marked “MAX”! Otherwise the saddle post with integrated rechargeable battery can no longer be guaranteed to hold securely and frame breaks or falls may result. The lock (15) built into the saddle clamp (16) must be closed. It also limits the maximum length of extension of the saddle post with integrated rechargeable battery. Note: The maximum insertion depth of the sad- dle post with integrated rechargeable battery is limited by the upper end stop and thus defines the minimum height of the saddle (10).

5. Apply tensioning load to the knurled screw

(27) on the quick-release lever and then close the quick-release lever. Important: Observe the correct torques. All torques are given in the section “Technical data”.

6. Sit down on the product. The saddle post with

integrated rechargeable battery is at the right height when your knee is just slightly bent.

7. Check that you are correctly seated and

repeat the steps previously described if necessary. Important: Check that the quick-release lever is securely in position. Riding with the quick-re- lease lever not properly closed can lead to falls and serious injuries. The quick-release leaver must be closed with some considerable force to be absolutely sure to prevent it from uninten- tionally coming loose while riding. If it can be closed too easily, the knurled screw (27) on the opposite side to the quick-release lever needs to be tightened a little. The quick-release lever should now close with somewhat greater resist- ance. If it can still be closed very easily, repeat the procedure. Important: When closed the quick-release lever must fit closely against the saddle clamp. Adjusting the saddle (fig. F) Loosen the Allen head screw (28) between rear light (17) and charging plug (18). Adjust the tilt of the saddle (10) or push it forwards or backwards into an individual position. Re-tighten the Allen head screw (28). Important: Observe the correct torques. All torques are given in the section “Technical data”.

• Rechargeable battery life can be prolonged if it is properly maintained and especially if it is stored at the right temperatures.

• If the rechargeable battery is stored empty for a lengthy period, it can become damaged despite the low self-discharge and the storage capacity can then be seriously reduced.

• It is not recommendable to leave the recharge- able battery permanently connected to the charger.

• For example, do not leave the rechargeable battery in the car in the summer; instead, store it away from direct sunlight.

• Do not ride with the rechargeable battery taken out. Rechargeable battery storage conditions

• Whenever possible, store the rechargeable battery in a dry, well-ventilated location. Protect it from humidity and water.

• The ambient temperature must be between 5 C and 25 C. Under unfavourable weather conditions it is recommended to remove the rechargeable battery and store it in enclosed spaces until it is next used. For storage the rechargeable battery should be neither fully charged nor empty. A charging status of around 40 - 60% is ideal. Store the recharge- able battery as follows: – in areas with smoke detectors – not in the vicinity of combustible or easily flammable objects – not near heat sources Before your first ride

• Charge the rechargeable battery fully.

• Familiarise yourself with the handling and the brakes. Make sure you know which brake lever to apply for each wheel, front and rear. Note: The brake lever on the left (12a) is for the front-wheel brake (19a) and the brake lever on the right (12b) is for the rear-wheel brake (19b).

• Adjust the saddle height to the size of your body (fig. E). Before each ride Check tyre pressure Tyres (20) should be at the pressure recommend- ed in the manufacturer’s specifications. Always fol- low the tyre pressure recommendations marked on the side walls of the tyres! Check the tyre pressure with a suitable pump that has a pressure gauge. Check brakes Apply the brakes and test whether they work properly. Inspect wheel rims Check your wheel rims (21) and impellers regularly for damage such as cracks or impacts from stones and also make sure that the bike runs straight. Tips for riding safely

• Slowly familiarise yourself with how the EPAC operates.

• It is recommended that you gain experience with the EPAC away from heavily travelled roads at first. Try out various assistance levels. Begin with the level of least assistance. As soon as you feel secure you will be able to join in with other road users with your EPAC. Test the EPACs range under different condi- tions before planning longer, more demand- ing trips. Note: The actual range of the EPAC is depend- ent on many specific factors. These may be, for example, the outside tem- perature, the riding style, or weight of the rider, as well as the conditions of the terrain and the selected assistance level. The exact range of the rechargeable battery de- pends on various factors, such as the assistance level, speed, route profile, rechargeable battery condition, etc. and can vary individually.

• Look ahead when riding, especially at higher speeds. Adapt the way you ride to the respec- tive conditions.

• Do not attempt to manipulate the maximum assistance speed or the handling by changing the parameters.

• When setting off, power from the motor can engage abruptly, especially at high assistance levels. Avoid putting stress on the pedals if you are not safely seated on the bike or if you are pushing off with just one leg when setting off.

• For your own safety apply the brakes when you get on the bike to prevent it from acciden- tally moving off.

• If you are sitting motionless on the bike, apply the brakes to prevent setting off unintention- ally. Remember that the handling can be severely affected when riding carrying a load. When loading, comply with the maximum total weight permissible. Always make sure that the load is evenly distributed. Braking WARNING Risk of burns! The brake disc (22) can get very hot when the brakes are constantly being applied.

• Never touch the brake disc with your bare hands immediately after using it. Wait until the brake disc has cooled down before touching it.

• Familiarise yourself with the handling and the brakes. Make sure you know which brake lever to apply for each wheel, front and rear. Note: The brake lever on the left (12a) is for the front-wheel brake (19a), and the brake lever on the right (12b) is for the rear-wheel brake (19b).

• Brake in such a way that the impellers do not lock. As soon as the impeller locks you lose road grip and this may cause a fall. Practise braking in places with little traffic that are suitable for this.

• Never apply the front brake abruptly. You might be thrown over the handlebars. When braking, shift your centre of gravity towards the rear wheel by sliding far back on the saddle. Whenever possible, use both brakes to achieve maximum braking effect. Always take into account that in wet weather conditions, on icy roads, and with loose natural materials, the braking distance may increase considerably. Adjusting the brakes When working in the area of the disc brake (22), remember that with a rotating brake disc there is a considerable risk of injury. Important: To avoid brake failure, disc brakes and their linings may not come into contact with lubricants/oils!

• In some situations it is necessary to adjust the brake disc (e.g. if you hear grinding noises).

• Clean the brake disc if it grinds.

• If the brake disc (22) is misaligned, open the quick release (31) and loosen the screw (32) on the brake boss (33) (see fig. K) so that the wheel is free. Tighten the brake levers (12a, 12b) on the handlebars. This straightens the brake disc automatically. Let go of the brake levers and then attach the quick release and the screw. Important: Observe the correct torques. All torques are given in the section “Technical data”. Important: If you have loosened the screws on the brake boss, secure them again afterwards using a suitable thread sealant such as thread lacquer, for example. Position of the brake lever WARNING Risk of injury! If the brake lever is in the wrong position, it can lead to accidents which may result in injuries.

• The brake lever (12a, 12b) should under no circumstances be able to be pressed down to the grip (23) before the brake pads (34) touch the brake discs (22). Otherwise full braking power cannot be applied. Consult a specialist retailer immediately if this occurs.

• When braking, your wrist should be posi- tioned in a straight line with your forearm; adjust the brake lever accordingly if neces- sary. Depending on body size this may result in a different brake lever angle. Operating the display (fig. I)

• The display (13) shows the status of the rechargeable battery and the assistance level of the motor (24).

• The EPAC switches off completely after 5 minutes if it is not used.

• After 5 seconds the display changes from indi- cating the “Assistance level” back to showing the “Rechargeable battery status” again if no button is pressed. Switching the motor on/off

• Switch the EPAC on by pressing the “on/off” button (36). Press the button again to switch the EPAC off (fig. I, 1). Rechargeable battery status After switching on the motor the rechargeable battery status is indicated by 5 white LEDs (37) (fig. I, 2): 5 LEDs - rechargeable battery status 100% 4 LEDs - rechargeable battery status 80% 3 LEDs - rechargeable battery status 60% 2 LEDs - rechargeable battery status 40% 1 LED - rechargeable battery status 20%* *When the rechargeable battery status is very low, the last LED begins to light up orange. Charge the rechargeable battery. Error messages The LEDs (37) in the display light up red in vari- ous combinations to indicate possible errors with the product or when riding. You can consult a brief overview of possible problems and how to solve them in the table “Error messages on the display”. For troubleshooting you can also consult the FAQs. Note: Note that the LEDs are numbered from bottom (1.) to top (5.). Motor assistance

• Press the button M (38) to switch from showing “Rechargeable battery status” to “Assistance level” (fig. I, 3). The LEDs (37) on the display light up blue.

• Press the M button again to scroll through the various assistance levels. Note: The product begins in Assistance level 0 (factory setting) and scrolls up as far as Level 5 by repeated pressing of the M button. The system then switches back to Level 0 and then back up again.

• Assistance level 0: No LED lights up. The motor does not offer any assistance.

• Assistance level 1-5: 1 LED: least assistance 5 LEDs: maximum assistance Note: Note that the maximum range of the re- chargeable battery is about 70km. However, this is always dependent on the outside conditions such as weather effects and terrain conditions, as well as on the duration and loading of the motor assistance and can vary accordingly. Add-on components and accessories WARNING Risk of injury! Riding with luggage changes the usual way the product handles and can lead to falls.

• Secure any accompanying luggage against lifting upwards or shifting from side to side.

• Familiarise yourself with the changed handling characteristics of the product; these include an increase in the braking distance.

• Make adjustments in your riding style. You can use the product with external add-on components. When doing so, always comply with the manufacturer specifications. Mobile phone holder (fig.

Bike trailer Important: The EPAC is not permitted/suitable for use with a bike trailer. Maintenance

• You must be absolutely sure to remove the re- chargeable battery during maintenance work.

• Perform repairs, maintenance, and adjustment work on your bike yourself only if you have the knowledge and the tools required! In the event of any doubt leave all work to a specialist workshop or to our service provider. You can obtain relevant information from the customer service department at Delta-Sport Handelskontor GmbH.

• Keep in mind that because of their technical design the drive components produce a slight increase in resistance and make a faint noise as you ride. Increased resistance when idling and a slight noise during the ride are not an immediate sign of some technical defect but are caused instead by the set-up of the drive components. Should the resistance or the noise increase during the ride, this can be a sign of defective maintenance.

• Because of the extra power introduced by the drive components and the product’s greater weight, all components are subject to increased wear. Shorter maintenance intervals than those of traditional bicycles must there- fore be observed. Poorly maintained or worn components can lead to accidents or falls and then to injuries as a further consequence. Be absolutely sure to remove the rechargeable battery prior to repair and maintenance work. Otherwise there is a considerable risk of injury since the system might start up because of mechanical functions. Make sure that no cables are kinked, pinched, or damaged by jagged edges when working on repairs and maintenance. Damaged cables can bring a danger to life due to electric shock.

• Do not open the power unit yourself. The power unit may be repaired only by qualified specialist personnel and using only original replacement parts.

• For repair and replacement purposes use only original components as well as original drive components and rechargeable batteries.

• Lubricate the lock every 6 months with a special oil for locks.

• Clean the plug terminals occasionally and grease them lightly. Inspection interval

• Before each ride inspect all screw connections and moving and heavily stressed parts of the product.

• Have the EPAC inspected at least once annually. It is absolutely essential to have this done by a specialist dealer who will inspect the belt (26) for wear and check the belt disc (35).

• A detailed inspection is recommended on a recurring basis either every 2,000km or every 100 hours of operation, or after one year (whichever comes first).

• Take your product to the specialist retailer for complete and thorough maintenance.

• The product is designed for a service life of at least 25,000km. Wear parts Note that you can reorder a great number of wear parts and accessory parts at the following address: https://lds-service.com Wear parts are parts of the product subject to a certain amount of wear due to their function and thus are not covered by the warranty.

• Note: Lighting systems (25, 17) and reflectors must be checked before every trip. Defective light sources must be replaced immediately.

• LED headlights (25) and LED rear lights (17)are designed in such a way that the in- dividual light-source unit cannot be replaced. GBGB58 59 This means that it is necessary to replace the whole LED headlight and/or LED rear light.

• Rechargeable batteries slowly lose ca- pacity over time so that as they get older the range of the pedelec is reduced. The two-year warranty is valid from the date of purchase or up to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs earlier. The batteries are designed to retain up to 70% of their original capacity for this length of time.

• Brake pads (34, fig. K) are subject to wear due to their function. Change the brake pads no later than after 5,000km irrespective of the degree of wear. You can detect wear if you hear metallic sounds or if there is a re- duction in braking power. Brake pad thickness should be at least 2.5mm. Replacement of brake pads may be necessary at shorter inter- vals when riding in mountainous terrain since the pads are stressed to a significantly greater degree. A regular inspection before each trip is therefore absolutely essential.

• The degree of wear of the belt (26, fig. L) depends on upkeep, maintenance and mile- age. The durability of the individual compo- nents of the belt system is heavily dependent on outside influences and environmental conditions. The life expectancy of a belt system used in a humid environment is always less than when it is used on dry roads. You will recognise heavy wear, for example, if the belt skips on the belt disc (35) or if the teeth of the belt disc are visibly worn. Important: Have the belt replaced if there is any damage from serious outside impacts. For example, if a stone, a twig or an item of clothing is picked up by the belt and is pulled in between belt and belt disc. An impact like this may lead to damage to the sensitive carbon fibres inside the belt even if there is no discernible external damage. A previously damaged belt or a possibly damaged belt disc must in all cases be replaced by a specialist dealer because when riding in drive mode it may suddenly break, which in turn can lead to accidents and injuries. Important: To remove dirt simply clean the belt with water and a mild detergent. Never clean with abrasive detergents. Important: Use only original replacement parts. You can reorder the parts at: http://www.potestrans.de Important: Belt (26) and belt discs (35, fig. L) are coordinated.

• Brake discs (22) Replace worn brake discs. You will detect the wear because of a reduction in braking power. The disc thickness may not be less than 1.4mm. Check the disc thickness at regular intervals.

• Tyres (20) and inner tubes are subject to relatively heavy wear, which is greatly in- fluenced by the user. The service life of a tyre is shortened considerably by braking hard, which leads to wheel locking.

• In order to permit early detection of damage to the wheel rims (21) clean them regularly since cracks, etc. may be covered up by dirt. Punctures Inside every bicycle tyre there is an inner tube. With a puncture proceed as follows: Disassembling the front wheel (fig. M)

1. Disengage the quick-release lever (11) on the

2. Loosen the opposite nut (43) on the quick

release and remove the front wheel. Disassembling the rear wheel (fig. N)

1. Remove the nuts (44) on both sides of the rear-

wheel axle with a 19mm spanner (not supplied). Important: Observe the correct torques. All torques are given in the section “Technical data”.

2. Disconnect the plug (45).

3. Remove the reusable mounting clip (52)

with the aid of a screwdriver (not included in delivery).

4. Remove the rear wheel (9) and take the belt (26)

off the belt disc (35). Repairing the inner tube

1. Squeeze the air out of the inner tube.

2. Loosen the bicycle tyre (20) on one side from

the rim (21) with a tyre lever and remove the defective inner tube.

3. Inflate the new or repaired inner tube a little

and place it inside the tyre. Note: When inflating make sure that the inner tube does not get caught between tyre and rim flange. Note: Do not apply the brake with the wheels disassembled and do not use a transportation lock since such would cause the brake shoes to close.

4. Guide the valve through the valve hole in the rim.

5. Pull the tyre over both sides of the rim and

tighten the union nut. Assembling the front wheel (fig. M)

1. Put the front wheel (8) back on.

2. Make sure that the brake disc (22) is seated

correctly in the brake calliper (46).

3. Turn the nut (43) of the quick release to

produce sufficient preload.

4. Close the quick-release lever (42).

Note: When closed, the quick-release lever should lie against the fork shaft. Assembling the rear wheel (fig. O)

1. Lay the belt (26) back on the belt disc (35)

and put in the belt tensioners (47). Put the nuts (44) back onto the axle but do not tighten them just yet.

2. Adjust the belt (see section “Adjusting/

tensioning the belt”).

3. Tighten the nuts (44) securely.

Important: Observe the correct torques.. All torques are given in the section “Technical data”.

4. Connect the plug (45).

5. Use the mounting clip (52) to secure the cable

of the plug connection. Adjusting/tensioning the belt (fig. O)

1. Loosen the two screws (48) of the belt

tensioners (47), on the left and on the right respectively.

2. Tension the belt tensioner by turning the

screws (49) clockwise on both sides with a suitable Allen key. Important: Be sure to make the same number of rotations on both sides.

3. Check the belt tension by pressing lightly

with your finger on the belt (26). Tighten the screws on the belt tensioners (48). Important: Observe the correct torques. All torques are given in the section “Technical data”.

Use the black, rotatable mountings on the mudguard to adjust the length of the mudguard. The pedelec doesn’t start. What can I do? Check the charging status of the battery. Check that the cables are con- nected properly. The pedelec gets empty very quickly. What can I do? In cold weather the battery and motor power are unable to fully take effect. So on cold winter’s days don't worry about the range being more limited. This is due to the cold and is normal with lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. At warmer temperatures your pedelec will return to its full power capacity. The handlebars shake. What can I do? Notice! Make sure that the Allen key screws are firmly seated, as de- scribed in the chapter “Handlebar assembly”. Readjust the handlebar screw if the steering head bearing is loose. Spare parts Where can I get a new toothed drive-belt? Contact our service partner at: https://lds-service.com/ Where can I get a new battery? Contact our service partner at: https://lds-service.com/ I’ve lost my key. What can I do? Contact our service partner at: https://lds-service.com/ General questions How fast can I go on a pedelec? Generally speaking, you can go as fast on a pedelec as your muscle pow- er allows. The motor assists up to a speed of 25km/h. Adjust the speed to each different situation as you ride. What weight is the pedelec designed for? Observe the maximum total load of 120kg including your own weight plus luggage. How and for how long do I charge the battery? The battery can easily be removed for charging. To do this follow the instructions as described in the chapter “Rechargeable battery and rechargeable battery charger”. Be sure to keep the connection dry and free from dirt and keep it away from metallic dust or metal objects. The pedelec battery should be charged indoors, always at above 5°C and in a dry location. The charger should not be stored outdoors. Do not leave the charger permanently connected. It takes approximately 2.5 hours for the battery to be fully charged again. The lighting system is charged immediately at the same time because it is fed via the battery. The Crivit charger stops the charging process automatically when the bat- tery is full. There is no danger of overcharging the battery if you forget to unplug. The battery management system also protects it from undercharg- ing but don’t forget to charge the pedelec every five to six weeks when you are not using it. How can I take care of battery maintenance? If you don’t use the pedelec regularly, you must charge the battery every 5 to 6 weeks. If not the cells might get damaged. The battery is best stored at a capacity of 40-60%. Store the pedelec and/or the battery in a dry location, especially in winter. It doesn't have to be in a specially heated room but nonetheless we recom- mend not storing it in locations with a temperature of less than 5°C Direct sunlight should also be avoided. Charging should be done basically in a dry and not too cold environment but always at above at least 5°C. The charger is best kept inside the house. Moreover: In cold weather the battery and motor power are unable to perform to full effect. So on cold winter’s days don't worry about the range being more limited. This is due to the cold and is normal with lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. In summer the pedelec will recover its full perfor- mance capabilities. The position of the seat is not optimal. What can I do? The dimensions of handlebars and stem are standard in the trade. Compo- nents can be exchanged but consider the following. Raising the handlebars or stem does not automatically ensure more comfort but often results in less flexible, unstable handlebar control. Enquire about this at a bike dealer. They can possibly exchanged stem and handlebars for you in order to set the position that best suits you. FAQ GBGB62 63 Question Answer What must I watch out for in terms of upkeep and maintenance of the brakes? All care and maintenance work on the brakes should be done only by our service partner or a professional bike workshop to avoid any kind of hazards. Brakes that are improperly maintained or installed can lead to accidents and injuries. What kind of child trailer can I attach to the pedelec? Attaching a child trailer to our pedelec is not permitted. Can I use the pedelec without electrical assistance? If you feel like pedalling unassisted, just skip the drive system or ride in assistance level 0 to use the pedelec in a fully traditional manner. Where can I find the frame number? The frame number can be found under the pedal bearing. My toothed drive-belt creaks. What can I do? The belt can cause noise whenever it runs heavily against the flange on the belt discs. This can be caused by misalignment of the belt discs, misalign- ment of the wheel, or drive wear caused by damaged components. But the permanent solution is either to correct the alignment or to replace the damaged components. Another possible noise source is a loose front belt disc. Applying thread-locking fluid can eliminate the problem. Noise sometimes can occur when riding in a dirt-filled environment. This noise is in no way any indication of a problem with your pedelec. In most cases all you have to do to get rid of the noise is rinse off belt and belt disc after your ride. If the noise continues to occur, there is a very simple solution: spray the belt down with water and wait until it is dry. Then apply a thin layer of dry silicon spray on the toothed side of the belt. Rapidly drying silicon dries immediately, has the effect of repelling sand, and has no effect on the durability of the belt. When should the belt/drive be replaced? Although you can expect your belt to last for a fairly long time, regular inspections and regular replacement are recommended. The belt discs should be checked for damage such as bending or cracks. Check the belt for the following: broken-off or missing teeth; cracks at the base of the teeth; ragged tension cords; misshapen and worn teeth. Do I have to be careful about which detergent I use to clean my toothed drive-belt/pedelecs? One characteristic of the carbon drive-belt is its very good chemical resistance. Contact with cleaning solutions from soaping and rinsing should not cause any damage. However, long-term soaking of the belt is not recommended.
