The user is also responsible for the provision and installation of devices used for the transport of objects and animals (e.g.
luggage racks, luggage bags, storage baskets, etc.) in compliance with the legally approved and authorised provisions in the
country of use and the limitations of the structure within the permitted load limits (maximum load supported by the bike and
by the luggage rack supplied, if present).
CAUTION
The installation of accessories and equipment on the bike, not only affect the performance of the bike and how it is used, but
can also cause damage if they are unsuitable, thus compromising correct operation and safety conditions during use.
For information on the supply and installation of equipment deemed suitable for the bike, please contact your authorised
dealer or specialised operators.
Warnings for users
• The electrically power assisted cycle can only be used by skilled adults and teenagers.
• Do not consume alcohol or medicines before riding the electrically power assisted cycle.
• This model of electrically power assisted cycle has been designed and built to be used outdoors, on public roads or
cycle paths.
• Do not the exceed the performance specications for which the electrically power assisted cycle has been designed.
• Never ride the electrically power assisted cycle with any of its parts disassembled.
• Ride with both hands on the handlebars.
• Replace worn and/or damaged parts; check that protection devices/guards are operating correctly before use.
• Keep children away from plastic items (including packaging materials) and small parts that may result in suffocation.
• Supervise children to make sure they do not play with the product.
• Remove any sharp edges caused by misuse, breakage or damage to the product.
• Pay special attention when using the product near pedestrians and make sure you slow down and signal your presence
to avoid frightening them when arriving from behind.
• Assemble the product correctly.
CAUTION
How to use
The electrically power assisted cycle is a bicycle tted with an auxiliary electric motor that is activated only when the pedals
are turned.
Therefore, the motor does not replace the work performed by your leg muscles, but assists them to prevent excessive strain
by activating according to the operating modes of the electrical and electronic components supplied with the product, i.e. the
battery, handlebar controls, sensors and control electronics.
More specically, the electric motor is powered by a battery and managed by a control unit that handles the delivery of
power and additional thrust provided to assist the effort made by the rider when pedalling based on the real-time reading of
values detected by a series of pedal-assist sensors. These sensors are positioned on the outside of the frame or inside the
components themselves and are based on the control parameters entered by the user via the handlebar controls (Display).
In accordance with the provisions of European Directive 2002/24/EC, the electric motor supplied with the electrically power
assisted cycle, is only activated to assist the user when pedalling and will be disabled upon reaching a speed of 25 km/h.
The electrically power assisted cycle has been designed and manufactured to be ridden outdoors on public roads and cycling
paths, on both tarmacked surfaces and/or ground that is suitable for the specic technical and structural features of the
bike.
Any changes to its construction may compromise the behaviour, safety and stability of the electrically power assisted cycle
and may cause an accident.
Any other types of use, or any extensions of use beyond the one intended, do not correspond to the intended use attributed
by the manufacturer and the latter, therefore, disclaims all liability for any resulting damage.
The autonomy of the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle and, therefore, the relevant distance data
estimated in km, may vary signicantly depending on the specic mode of use (total load transported, how hard the rider
pedals the bike, level of electric pedal assistance detected, how often the rider departs and restarts), the mechanical and
electrical conditions of the product (tyre pressure and wear, battery efciency level) and external inuences (slopes and road
surface, atmospheric conditions).
