Tension recommendation: 35-50 Hz (28-40 lbs). These tension recommendations are a good
starting point, which may need to be adjusted higher or lower based on the rider size, gear ratio,
and power placed on the pedals. For more details on the proper belt tension, please go to

Riding with electric assistance
The GLEAM Cargo eBike is equipped with a Bosch eBike system that assists you while pedalling. Without
pedalling, there is no assistance. The motor output always depends on the amount of your pedalling power.
When applying less pedalling power, the assistance level will be lower than when applying a lot of pedalling
power. This applies independent of the selected assistance level. If you excess speeds of 25 km/h, the eBike
drive and the power assistance will automatically switch off until your speeds falls below 25km/h again.

Batteries
Use only the Bosch charger provided with your eBike or an identical original Bosch charger. Only this charger
is matched to the lithium-ion battery pack used in your eBike.
The battery pack is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery pack capacity, completely
charge the battery pack in the charger before using for the first time.
If you use the DualBattery system on the GLEAM
eBike consider the following:
No journey is too long: DualBattery is the perfect
solution for you. The combination of two Bosch
batteries delivers up to 1.000 Wh and can be
installed also after you bought the vehicle. The
system switches intelligently between the two
batteries both during charging and discharging.
The Battery Management System also offers
maximum protection for the DualBattery system
against overcharging, undervoltage, overheating
and short circuits as well as extending the service
life of the batteries.
Make sure the battery is properly connected to ensure functionally. When the battery is inserted
in the holder
a “click” sound has to be heard.
