Operation: riding the Pedelec
7.1.2 Personal protective equipment
When riding a Pedelec, wearing a helmet is an indispensable protection that can prevent serious injuries in case of falls or collisions.
Wear a helmet while riding.
7.2 Riding the bike
1. Checklist "Before every ride" taken into account.
2. Personal protective equipment is present.
DANGER
Trying to press the power button while riding can cause an impairment of balance!
Stop the ride to operate the power button.
1. Switch on the Pedelec.
2. If necessary, change the assist mode on the power button: Select standard, max or 0% support.
3. If necessary, use the power button to switch the lights on or off.
4. Get on the Pedelec and start pedaling.
y
As soon as the pedals are engaged, the motor turns on, depending on the selected assist mode, and starts to support
the pedalling movement.
7.3 Before the first rides: perform "bedding-in" of the brakes
The brake pads of the hydraulic disc brakes do not
develop their full braking performance when first used and must be
bedded-in. This also means there is a longer braking distance at the beginning and that the stopping power will increase
over time until it reaches its full potential.
Be especially careful when riding for the first time and mind the longer braking distance.
Try out and get to know the brake system, the brake lever designations and the braking power of the disc brakes in a suitable,
safe environment. Perform a disc brake “bed-in” procedure prior to your first ride.
7.4 At the end of the ride
1. Dismount from the Pedelec.
2. Park it, so that it cannot tip over.
3. Switch off the Pedelec at the power button.
