Dear customer:
You have decided in favor of a Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle)- a bicycle that is equipped
with an electric motor to give you additional assistance when riding.
Properties
1. With this bicycle you can make better progress in headwinds, when transporting
heavy loads or on steep slopes.
2. You can select the level of power assistance required according to the weight of your
load and/or the prevailing road conditions,
The effectiveness of the power assistance depends on your pedal power and the level of
assistance selected. Before switching on the electric assistance system, please read the
chapter “Charging the battery”. The battery must be fully charged before the motor is
switched on.
Mode of operation and extent of electronic power assistance
As soon as you switch on the electric assistance system and begin pedaling, electronic
power assistance is available. The necessary pedal power reduces in proportion to
each increase in the level of assistance (see p. 6, Selection of assistance level) by
approximately 60%, 50%, or 30%.
