2 Safety
2.1 General warnings
Risk of fire and explosion due to faulty battery
The safety electronics on a damaged or faulty
battery may fail. The residual voltage can cause a
short circuit. The battery may self-ignite and
explode.
Remove batteries with external damage from
service immediately and never charge them.
If the battery becomes deformed or begins to
smoke, keep at a safe distance, disconnect the
power supply at the socket, and notify the fire
service immediately.
Never extinguish damaged batteries with
water or allow them to come into contact with
water.
If a battery is dropped or struck but shows no
signs of external damage, remove it from
service and observe it for at least 24 hours.
Faulty batteries are hazardous goods.
Dispose of faulty batteries properly and as
quickly as possible.
Store the battery in a dry place until disposal.
Never store in the vicinity of flammable
substances.
Never open or repair the battery.
Electric shock in case of damage
Damaged chargers, cables and plug connectors
increase the risk of electric shock.
Check the charger, cable and plug connector
before each use. Never use a damaged
charger.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Risk of fire and explosion due to short circuit
Small metal objects may jumper the electrical
connections of the battery. The battery may self-
ignite and explode.
Keep paper clips, screws, coins, keys and
other small parts away and do not insert them
into the battery.
Risk of fire and explosion due to incorrect
charger
Batteries which are recharged with an unsuitable
charger may become damaged internally. This
may result in fire or an explosion.
Only ever use the battery with the supplied
charger.
Mark the supplied charger clearly to prevent
mix-ups – with the pedelec frame number or
type number, for example.
Risk of fire and explosion due to penetration by
water
The battery is only protected from simple spray
water. Penetration by water can cause a short
circuit. The battery may self-ignite and explode.
Never immerse the battery in water.
If there is reason to believe that water may
have entered into the battery, the battery must
be removed from service.
Risk of fire and explosion due to high
temperatures
Excessively high temperatures will damage the
battery. The battery may self-ignite and explode.
Protect the battery against heat.
Never expose the battery to sustained direct
sunlight.
CAUTION
!
MY20H01-12_1.0_28.05.2019 11
Safety
2.2 Toxic substances
Fire caused by overheated charger
The charger heats up when charging the battery.
In case of insufficient cooling, this can result in
fire or burns to the hands.
Never use the charger on a highly flammable
surface (e.g. paper, carpet etc.).
Never cover the charger during the charging
process.
Never leave the battery unattended during
charging.
Electric shock caused by penetration by
water
If water penetrates into the charger, there is a risk
of electric shock.
Never charge the battery outdoors.
Notice
If you leave a key inserted when riding or
transporting the pedelec, it may break off or the
locking system may open accidentally.
Remove the key from the battery lock
immediately after use.
We recommend that you attach the key to a
key ring.
CAUTION
!
Intoxication from suspension oil
Suspension oil in the rear frame damper is toxic to
the touch, irritates respiratory tracts and causes
cancer, sterility and mutation in germ cells.
Never disassemble the rear frame damper.
Never allow suspension oil to come into
contact with the skin.
Chemical burns to the skin and eyes caused by
faulty battery
Liquids and vapours may leak from damaged or
faulty batteries. They can irritate the airways and
cause burns.
Avoid contact with leaked liquids.
Ventilate with fresh air and consult a doctor if
you suffer any pain or discomfort.
Immediately consult a doctor in case of
contact with the eyes or any discomfort.
In case of contact with the skin, rinse off
immediately with water.
Ventilate the room well.
Hazard for the environment due to leaking
brake fluid
The brake system contains a toxic, environmentally
harmful brake fluid. Such fluids will contaminate if
they enter the sewers or groundwater.
The brake system must be repaired
immediately if brake fluid leaks out. Contact
your specialist dealer about repair.
Dispose of leaking brake fluid in an
environmentally responsible way in
accordance with statutory regulations. Ask a
specialist dealer for more information.

3.1.1.1 Valve
Each wheel has a valve. It is used to fill the tyre
with air. There is a valve cap on each valve. The
screw-on valve cap keeps out dust and dirt.
The pedelec either has a conventional Dunlop
valve, a Presta valve or a Schrader valve.
3.1.2 Suspension
Both forks and suspension forks are fitted in this
model series. A suspension fork is based either on a
steel spring or air suspension. Unlike a rigid fork, a
suspension fork has two functions which improve
floor contact and comfort: suspension and damping.
Figure 4: Pedelec without suspension (1) and with
suspension (2) when riding over an obstacle
The suspension prevents an impact, such as one
caused by a stone lying in the bike's path, from
being channelled directly into the rider's body via
the fork. The impact is absorbed by the
suspension system instead. This causes the
suspension fork to compress. The compression
can be disabled so that a suspension fork reacts
like a rigid fork. The switch to disable the fork is
called a remote lockout.
After compressing, the suspension fork returns to
its original position. If there is a damper, it
decelerates movement, preventing the
suspension system from springing back in an
uncontrolled manner and stopping the fork from
vibrating up and down. Dampers which dampen
compressive deflection movements, i.e. a
compression load, are called compression
dampers or compression dashpots.
Dampers which dampen rebound deflection
movements, i.e. a rebound load, are called
rebound dampers or dashpots.

3.1.3 Brake system
The pedelec's brake system comprises either a
hydraulic:
• rim brake on the front and rear wheels
• disc brake on the front and rear wheels or
• a rim brake on the front and rear wheels and an
additional back-pedal brake.
The mechanical brakes are used as an
emergency stop system and bring the pedelec to
a halt quickly and safely in the event of an
emergency.

3Handlebars with brake lever
4 Front wheel brake disc
5 Rear wheel brake disc
On a pedelec with a disc brake, the brake disc is
screwed permanently to the wheel hub.
The brake lever is pulled to increase brake
pressure. The brake fluid is used to transfer
pressure through the brake lines to the cylinders
in the brake calliper. The braking force is boosted
by a speed reduction and applied to the brake
linings. These apply the brake disc mechanically.
If the brake lever is pulled, the brake linings are
pressed against the brake disc and the wheel
movement is decelerated until it comes to a stop.

Overview
3.1.4 Electric drive system
The pedelec is driven by muscle power applied to
the chain drive. The force which is applied by
pedalling in the direction of travel drives the front
chain wheel. The chain transmits the force onto
the rear chain wheel and then onto the rear wheel.
You can ride the pedelec like a normal bike at any
time, either by switching off the electric drive
system or changing the level of assistance to Off.
The same applies when the battery is empty.
Figure 13: Diagram of drive system
1 Direction of travel
2 Chain
3 Rear chain wheel
4 Front chain wheel
5 Pedal
The pedelec also has an integrated electric drive
system in addition to its drive system propelled by
muscle power. The electric drive system is made
up of 8 components:
Figure 14: Diagram of electric drive system
1Headlight
2Display
3Operating element
4 Rechargeable battery
5 Rear light
6Motor
• A charger which is designed for the battery.
As soon as the required muscle power from the
rider pedalling passes a certain level, the motor is
activated gently and assists the pedalling motion
of the rider. The motor force is determined by the
set level of assistance. The assistance depends
on the force applied to the pedals by the rider.
Drive system assistance is therefore only
activated when the rider pedals. This applies
irrespective of the selected level of assistance.
The motor switches off automatically as soon as
the rider no longer pedals, the temperature is
outside the permitted range, there is an overload
or the shut-off speed of 25 km/h has been
reached. If the speed falls below 25 km/h, the
assistance is automatically activated again.
A push assist system can be activated. The push
assist continues to drive the pedelec as long as
the rider pushes the plus button on the handlebars.
The speed can be a maximum of 6 km/h in this
case.
3.1.5 Rechargeable battery
The lithium ion battery has an internal electronic
protection circuit, which is specifically designed
for the charger and the pedelec. The battery
temperature is monitored at all times. The battery
is protected against deep discharge,
overcharging, overheating and short circuit. In the
event of a hazard, a protective circuit switches the
battery off automatically. The battery also
switches to sleep mode for self-protection when
not used for a longer period. The battery's service
life can be extended if it is well maintained and,
above all, stored at the correct temperatures. The
battery charging capacity will decrease with age,
even if the battery is maintained properly. If the
operating time is severely shortened after
charging, this is a sign that battery has reached
the end of its useful life.

Overview
The pedelec has two types of battery: either an
Evo 650 battery or a SuperCore battery
Figure 15: Evo 650 battery details
In the diagram, the Evo 650 features a battery
lock (1), a connection for the charger plug (2), an
on-off switch (3) and an operating status and
battery level indicator (4) on the top of the down
tube (5). You can also see the battery (6)
extended out
3.1.5.1 Battery level indicator
The five green LEDs on the battery level indicator
show the charge level when the battery is
switched on. Each LED represents 20% of the
charge level. The charge level for the switched-on
battery is also shown on the display screen.
If the battery level falls below 5%, all the LEDs on
the operating status and battery level indicator will
go out. However, the battery level is still shown on
the display screen.
3.1.5.2 Range
The range is influenced by many factors, such as:
• level of assistance: the higher the selected level
of assistance, the lower the range
• gear switching habits
• tyre type
• tyre pressure,
• the age, condition and charge level of the battery
• route profile (slopes) and route quality (road
surface)
• weather conditions (e.g. opposing winds, ambient
temperature, etc.)
• pedelec weight and
•load
3.1.6 Driving light
When the driving light is activated, the headlight
and the rear light are switched on.
3.1.7 Operating element
The operating element controls the drive system
and shows the journey data. The pedelec's battery
powers the display screen when a sufficiently
charged battery is inserted into the pedelec and
the drive system is switched on.
The operating element consists of an LCD
display, 2 rocker switches and 3 buttons.

Overview
3.2 Proper use
The pedelec must only be used in perfect, fully
functional condition. National requirements may
apply to the pedelec which the standard
equipment may not meet. For riding on public
roads, some special regulations apply in relation
to the driving light, reflectors and other
components.
The general laws and the regulations for the
prevention of accidents and environmental
protection in the respective country of use must be
adhered to. All check lists and instructions for
actions in these operating instructions met.
Approved accessories can be installed by
specialist staff.
Each pedelec is assigned a pedelec type, which
determines its proper use and area of use.
City and trekking
bicycles
Child's bicycle/
bicycle for young
adults
Mountain bikes Racing bicycle Cargo bike Folding bicycle
City and trekking
bicycles are designed
for daily, comfortable
use. They are
suitable for riding on
public roads.
The legal guardians
of minor riders must
read and understand
these operating
instructions before
commissioning.
The contents of these
operating
instructions must be
communicated to the
riders in an age-
appropriate manner.
The cycles for
children and young
adults are suitable for
riding on public
roads. The size of the
pedelec must be
checked regularly for
orthopaedic reasons.
A check must be
made at least every
three months to make
sure that the
permitted total weight
is being observed.
Mountain bikes are
designed for sporting
use. The design
characteristics
include a short
wheelbase, a sitting
position with the rider
inclined towards the
front, and a brake
requiring low
actuation force.
A mountain bike is a
piece of sporting
equipment. It requires
an adaptation period
as well as physical
fitness. Use requires
the appropriate
training; in particular
riding in bends and
braking should be
practised.
The strain on the
rider, in particular the
hands and wrists,
arms, shoulders,
neck and back, is
accordingly high.
Inexperienced riders
tend to brake
excessively and lose
control as a result.
A racing bicycle is
designed for fast
rides on roads and
paths with a good,
undamaged road
surface.
A racing bicycle is a
piece of sporting
equipment and not a
means of transport. A
racing bicycle is
characterised by its
lightweight structure
and a design which is
stripped to the
minimum parts
required for riding.
The frame geometry
and the layout of the
operating elements
are designed in such
a way that the bicycle
can be ridden at high
speeds. The frame
design requires
practice to ensure the
ride is able to ride
slowly, apply the
brakes and get on
and off the bike
safely.
The sitting position is
athletic. The strain on
the rider, in particular
the hands and wrists,
arms, shoulders,
neck and back, is
accordingly high. The
sitting position
therefore requires
physical fitness.
The cargo bike is
suitable for daily
transportation of
loads on public roads.
The transportation of
loads requires skill
and physical fitness
in order to balance
the additional weight.
The very varied
loading conditions
and weight
distributions require
special practice and
skill when braking
and riding in bends.
The length of the
bicycle, its width and
turning circle require
a longer period of
adaptation. The cargo
bike requires cautious
riding. You must pay
attention to the traffic
on public roads and
the condition of the
route accordingly.
The folding bicycle is
suitable for use on
public roads.
A folding bicycle can
be folded up and is
thus suitable for
space-saving
transportation, for
example on public
transport or in a car.
The folding function
of the folding bicycle
makes it necessary to
use smaller wheels
and longer brake
cables and Bowden
cables. Therefore, in
case of an increased
load, a reduction in
riding stability and
braking power,
diminished comfort
and reduced
durability are to be
expected.
Table 10: Proper use
MY20H01-12_1.0_28.05.2019 22

6.1 Risks and hazards
Injuries and death caused by other road users
Other road users, trucks, cars or pedestrians often
underestimate the speed of pedelecs. Likewise,
other road users frequently do not see pedelec
riders. This may cause a crash with serious injuries
or even death.
Wear a cycling helmet and high-visibility,
reflective clothing.
Always take a defensive approach to riding.
Avoid the blind spots of vehicles turning off
and reduce your speed as a precaution when
other road users turn right.
Injuries and death caused by riding
incorrectly
A pedelec is not a bicycle. Incorrect riding and
underestimated speeds soon result in hazardous
situations. This may cause a fall with serious
injuries or even death.
If you haven't ridden on a pedelec for some
time, get accustomed to the speed before you
ride at speeds over 12 km/h. Increase the level
of assistance on your pedelec gradually.
Practice hard braking on a regular basis.
Take and complete a riding safety course.
Crash caused by loose clothing
Shoe laces, scarves and other loose items may
become entangled in the spokes on the wheels
and on the chain drive. This may cause a crash
with injuries.
Wear sturdy footwear and close-fitting
clothing.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Risk of fire and burning due to hot motor
The motor housing becomes hot when riding.
Touching it may cause burns to the skin or other
objects.
Never touch the motor housing directly after
riding.
Never place the pedelec on a flammable
surface, such as grass or wood, directly after
use.
Crash caused by soiling
Heavy soiling can impair pedelec functions, such
as braking. This may cause a crash with injuries.
Remove coarse soiling before riding.
Crash caused by poor road conditions
Loose objects, such as branches and twigs, may
become caught in the wheels and cause a crash
with injuries.
Be aware of the road conditions.
Ride slowly and brake in good time.
Notice
Heat or direct sunlight can cause the tyre pressure
to increase above the permitted maximum
pressure. This can destroy the tyres.
Never park the pedelec in the sun.
On hot days, regularly check the tyre pressure
and adjust it as necessary.
When riding downhill, high speeds may be
reached.
The pedelec is only designed to exceed a speed
of 25 km/h for short periods. The tyres in
particular can fail if exposed to a continuous load.
Decelerate the pedelec with the brakes if you
reach speeds greater than 25 km/h.

6.3 Before the first ride
Only a correctly adjusted pedelec will guarantee
you the desired ride comfort and health-promoting
activity. Therefore adjust the saddle, the
handlebars and the suspension to your body and
your preferred riding style before the first ride.
6.3.1 Adjusting the saddle
6.3.1.1 Adjusting the saddle tilt
The saddle tilt must be adjusted to the seat height,
the saddle and handlebar position, and the saddle
shape to ensure an optimum fit. The seating
position can be optimised in this way if needed.
First, readjust the saddle after finding the
handlebar position you prefer.
Place the saddle tilt in the horizontal position to
adjust the pedelec to your needs for initial use.
Figure 40: Horizontal saddle tilt
6.3.2 Determining the seat height
To determine the seat height safely, either push
the pedelec near to a wall, so that you can lean on
the wall to support yourself or ask another person
to hold the pedelec for you.
Climb onto the bicycle.
Place your heel on the pedal and extend your
leg, so that the pedal is at the lowest crank
rotation point.
The rider sits straight on the saddle if the seat
is at an optimum height. If this is not the case,
you can adjust the length of the seat post to
your needs.
Figure 41: Optimal saddle height
Crash caused by incorrectly adjusted torques
If a screw is fastened too tightly, it may break. If a
screw is not fastened enough, it may loosen. This
will cause a crash with injuries.

minimum insertion depth marking
To close it, push the seat post clamping lever as
far as it will go into the seat post.
Check the clamping force of quick releases.
6.3.2.2 Height-adjustable seat post
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
When using your seat post for the first time, you
must give it a firm push downwards to set it in
motion. This is due to the natural tendency of the
seal to repel oil from the seal surface. You only
need to do this before the first use or after a
longer period of non-use. Once you have
displaced the post through its deflection, the oil
spreads on the seal and the post begins to
function normally.

either on the left (1) or the right (2) side of the handlebars
Lowering the saddle
To lower the saddle, press your hand down on the
saddle or sit on the saddle. Press the seat post
activation lever and hold it down.
Release the lever once you have reached the
required height.
Raising the saddle
Pull the seat post activation level.
Remove any pressure on the saddle and
release the lever once you have reached the
required height.
6.3.2.3 Adjusting the seat position
The saddle can be shifted on the saddle frame.
The right horizontal position ensures an optimal
leverage position for legs. This prevents knee
pain and painful incorrect pelvis positions. If you
have displaced the saddle more than 10 mm, you
then need to adjust the saddle height again since
both settings affect one another.
To adjust the seat position safely, either push the
pedelec near to a wall, so that you can lean on the
wall to support yourself or ask another person to
hold the pedelec for you.
Climb onto the bicycle.
Place the pedals into the vertical position
(3 o'clock position) with your feet.
Crash caused by an excessively high seat post
setting
A seat post with is set too high will cause the seat
post or the frame to break. This will cause a crash
with injuries.
Do not pull the seat post out of the frame
beyond the minimum insertion depth marking.
