oil, which you can buy as a spray or liquid. There is also a Teflon-
base lube that coats the area where it is applied so dirt cannot get
in while it lubricates. For the seatpost you can use grease which
also keeps the frame watertight. For the hubs, headset and
bottom brackets we recommend you go to your dealer as they
need to be disassembled for lubrication for which you will need a
lot of experience and specific tools. Note: When you are not using
your bike, protect it from rain, snow, sun, etc. Snow and rain can
damage the metal parts of your bike and sun can harm plastic
parts and paintwork. We recommend you to leave the bicycle
lubricated and covered with the tires at half pressure if you are
not going to ride for a long time.

E-BIKES

How it works This type of bike are legally classified as EPAC
(Electrically Power Assisted Cycle, from now on named as "e-
bike"). This category differs from the vehicles commonly called
speed pedelec which are subject to typeapproval requirements
and need registration and insurance. An e-bike is a bicycle
equipped with an auxiliary motor with 250 W maximum power
which assists pedaling up to 25 kph and only works when the
cyclist operates the pedals. The level of assistance of the motor is
variable, adjustable and can be changed by the cyclist even during
riding. The assistance is progressively reduced and finally switched
off when you reach 25 kph. The bicycle can be used normally
when the pedal-assist system is off. In addition, an e-bike is
equipped with a push aid feature that is activated by a button and
propels the bike up to 6 kph.
ATTENTION: The push aid feature should only be used when you
are pushing the e-bike. Improper use could result in injury to the
user.
An e-bike behaves differently to conventional bicycles. Its average
speed and mass are higher and therefore braking force will be
higher.
Recommendations for use and warnings
We recommend you gain experience and test the operating range
of your e-bike under different conditions before going on longer
and more challenging rides. Bear in mind that range is influenced
by many factors such as assistance level, gear-switching behavior,
tyre type and pressure, age and condition of the battery pack,
terrain, etc. The intended use of this e-bike comes under Group 4
as defined in section 1.4 of this manual (For riding on rugged trails
with medium obstacles) excepting public roads. If you want to use
your e-bike on public roads, you must comply with the traffic
regulations of the country concerned. Under no circumstances
should you modify the components of your e-bike. This could
result in violation of local laws and/or lead to hazardous operating
conditions. Please read the motor manufacturer's instruction
manual carefully for more detailed information.
Cleaning recommendations
In addition to the points in section 4.1 of the manual, keep the
battery clean. Clean it with a clean, soft cloth and do not immerse
it in water or clean it with pressurized water. After cleaning, do
not dry the e-bike with compressed air as dirt could penetrate
sealed areas and electrical and electronic components and lead to
corrosion.
The battery is supplied partially charged. To obtain maximum
power on the first run, charge it completely using the original
battery charger. The battery can be charged at any time
individually or on the bike without reducing its service life.
Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.
The battery is equipped with a temperature control indicator
which enables charging only between 0°C and 40 °C.
WARNINGS:
Only use the charger provided with your e-bike or an identical
original charger. Only this charger is matched to the lithium-ion
battery used in your e-bike.
Keep the charger away from rain or moisture. The penetration of
water into a battery charger increases the risk of an electric shock.
Only charge lithium-ion batteries approved for your e-bike. The
battery's voltage must match the charging voltage of the charger.
Otherwise there is danger of fire and explosion.
Keep the battery charger clean. Dirt can lead to danger of an
electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug. If
damage is detected, do not use the battery charger. Never try to
open the battery charger yourself. Have repairs performed only by
a qualified technician and only using original spare parts.
Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of
an electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflammable surfaces
(e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the
battery charger during the charging process can pose a fire
hazard.
Use caution when touching the charger during the charging
process. Wear protective gloves. The charger can heat up
considerably, especially in high ambient temperatures.
Vapours can escape in case of damage and improper use of the
battery. Look for fresh air and seek medical attention in case of
malaise. Vapors can irritate the respiratory system.
Supervise children during use, cleaning and maintenance. This will
ensure that children do not play with the charger. Children or
people who owing to their physical, sensory or mental limitations
or their lack of experience or knowledge are not capable of
securely operating the charger may only use this charger under
