It is practically impossible to provide absolute<br />

data regarding the range as various factors<br />

influence the assistance performance. To begin<br />

with, the battery must be optimally charged.<br />

This can be ensured by using the original<br />

charger, through sufficient charging time, the<br />

age of the battery as well as its continuous<br />

maintenance.<br />

If all these factors are favorable, i.e. the<br />

operating temperature is also between 5 and 35<br />

°C and a full charge has taken place, then 37V<br />

x 8.8Ah = 325 Wh of stored energy should be<br />

available to begin driving.<br />

Then try the same in the reverse direction. This<br />

way you will learn the functioning of the gear.<br />

Do not ever change gear when the cycle is<br />

stationary or during reverse pedalling. Select<br />

your gear transmission ratio in front according<br />

to the terrain and exercise additional control<br />

with the rear sprocket. The chain should not<br />

run crosswise, i.e., with very steep inclination,<br />

because otherwise chain and gear wheel will<br />

wear out fast. Use the derailleur as illustrated in<br />

Figure.<br />

With the battery’s increasing age, the maximum<br />

amount of stored energy can sink by a third and<br />

in so doing the running distance too.<br />

On the whole, lithium-ion batteries can<br />

experience up to 500 full charge cycles, but<br />

through aging the capacity will sink in due<br />

course down to 85 - 65 %.<br />

GB<br />

Providing good maintenance is taken, then a<br />

life expectancy of approximately 3 – 5 years<br />

is possible. The capacity will decrease slowly<br />

but steadily.<br />

General operation<br />

Gear changing<br />

If you are not yet familiar with a gear change,<br />

practice handling your new <strong>Pedelec</strong>, braking<br />

and negotiating curves but do it away from<br />

public roads.<br />

Derailleur<br />

First switch the chain to the centre pinion at<br />

the rear. Switch between the front chain rings.<br />

Gear adjustment:<br />

The gear must be adjusted regularly, depending<br />

on the type of gear usage. Let your dealer do all<br />

the gear settings.<br />

Brakes<br />

Your <strong>Pedelec</strong> is equipped with two independent<br />

brakes. The right brake lever works on the front<br />

wheel brake, and the left one on the rear wheel<br />

brake. You can change this order by changing<br />

the brake wires on the brake lever. Get this done<br />

by your dealer.<br />

Hand brakes<br />

Check the smooth functioning of the brakes<br />

before each trip. Contact the dealer if you detect<br />

slackening of the braking effect! The brake shoe<br />

or shoes are labelled. Always use spare parts of<br />

the same label.<br />

V-brake<br />

This brake is activated by pulling the brake<br />

lever at the handle bar of your cycle. Two brake<br />
