I.
Recommendations for the safe use of the bicycle
To use the bicycle safely, the use of a helmet as well as protective and/or signalling elements are highly recommended.
When used in the rain or on wet roads, visibility and friction are reduced, braking distances are increased and the user must adapt their speed and
anticipate their braking. The condition of wearing parts such as rims, brakes, tyres, steering and transmission must be checked by the user before
use and regularly inspected, maintained and adjusted by a qualified and experienced mechanic.
The handlebars and/or the use of an aerodynamic extension or any other component placed on the handlebars can have a negative influence on the
response time of the cyclist during braking and cornering.
Check the tire inflation pressure. Inflate the tires to the recommended sidewall pressure.
WARNINGS:
-
Failure to follow the instructions and safety precautions may result in an electric shock. Keep these
instructions in a safe place.
-
The user must comply with the requirements of the national regulations when the bicycle must be used on
public roads (lighting and signalling for example).
-
Failure to comply with this intended use may result in a fall or an accident and may prematurely and
irremediably deteriorate the condition of your power-assisted bicycle. Your bicycle is not designed to be
used in sand, water (the hubs and bottom bracket should not be immersed), or salt water. Your bicycle is
not designed to be stored outside for long periods of time. It must be stored in a dry and temperate room
(without frost) away from corrosive products: products used in a marine environment (e.g. on a ship's
deck), weed killers, acids, solvents, etc.
-
As for any mechanical component, a power-assisted bicycle is subject to high stress and will wear out. The
different materials and components can react differently to wear or ageing. If the expected service life of a
component has been exceeded, it may suddenly break, presenting a risk of injury to the cyclist. Cracks,
scratches and discolouration in areas subject to high stress indicate that the component has exceeded its
service life and should be replaced.
II.
Recommendations for charging the battery
It is recommended that the battery is charged regularly, or after each use. In order to maximise the life of your battery, it is advisable:
-
to avoid hot places (ideal charging temperature: 20°C)
-
to allow the battery to cool down 30 minutes after using the bicycle.
-
to only use the battery with this bicycle.
-
to only use the specific charger supplied to charge the battery of your bicycle.
-
to only charge the battery in a properly ventilated area.
-
to never use a damaged battery.
-
to stop charging the battery if the charge is not complete after the theoretical charging time.
-
to not use the battery if it emits an unusual smell, becomes unusually hot or if something seems abnormal.
-
to keep the battery out of the reach of children.
-
to follow the instructions on the battery label and on the battery charger label.
-
to charge your battery before a prolonged period of storage and repeat this operation after the storage period.
-
to not store the battery when it is out of charge to avoid very low charge which may cause the battery to malfunction.
-
in the event of prolonged storage, it is recommended to keep the charge level at about 50%. Refer to the battery indicator section for how to
check the charging state of your battery. Recharge the battery if necessary.
WARNINGS :
-
The battery life may be reduced if it is in storage for a long time without regular charging as described
above.
-
Do not use any metal to directly connect two poles of the battery, (+) and (-), as this could cause it to short
circuit.
-
Never place the battery near a fireplace or other heat source, do not charge it in direct sunlight.
-
Do not shake, knock, or drop the battery.
-
When the battery pack is removed from the bicycle, keep it out of the reach of children to prevent
accidents.
-
You must not open the battery.
-
Do not expose the battery to liquids.
