QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: What speed can I ride this bike at?
Answer: It depends on the cyclist. There is no maximum limit. In any case, at
speeds above 20 mph, the assistance will be deactivated.
Question: Are Ital E-Bikes bicycles very heavy?
Answer: No. In fact, given that the weight of the Ital E-Bike bicycle is between 20 kg
and 24 kg depending on the model, it is considered to be among the lightest
electric bikes on the market.
Question: Should I take any additional precautions to be able to ride an Ital E-Bike
with re-spect to a traditional bicycle?
Answer: No, although it is important to pay attention when turning on your Ital E-
Bike (as described in this manual), because of the additional impulse of the motor.
It is recommended to start movement in Eco mode, with lower force and a low gear.
Question: Do I have to stop every time I want to activate the pedal assistance?
Answer: No. The pedal assistance can be activated while riding the bike,
although it is not recommended as it may constitute a distraction. No special
precautions are required apart from the advice in this manual.
Question: Can I remain stationary on the bike when waiting at traffic lights?
Answer: Yes. The motor will remain inactive provided that no pressure is applied to
the pedals. As force is exerted on the pedals you will notice the bike pushing
forward. This is a consequence of the continuous reading by the torque sensor
measuring the force exerted on the pedal.
Question: Can I change gears while the bike is stationary, such as when waiting at
traffic lights?
Answer: Yes. The Ital E-Bike sequential gearbox permits this. If you arrive at the
traffic lights in a high gear, while waiting, even with the bicycle stationary, you can
prepare the correct gear for setting off again.
Question: How often do I have to take the bike to a Ital E-Bike dealer for a service?
Answer: No electrical component of the Ital E-Bike pedal assistance system require
maintenance. The rest of the components require the same attention as the
components of a standard bicycle, depending on the frequency of use.
Question: What happens if I get a puncture? Can I repair the tire myself?
Answer: Without any problem. The front wheel must be removed as with any
normal standard bike, the rear wheel is further facilitated by the single arm fork
system.
