which is fixed at the handlebar. After a few rides you will be able to estimate
how far you can still get with the motor support.
> Turn main switch off after riding to avoid discharge of the accumulator/
battery pack.
> Recharge the accumulator/battery pack after riding to recover the
operational readiness.
> Never exceed the permitted load of the bicycle and the carrier.
Due to the additional motor support the handling of the bicycle will be
altered.
Please take care when first using the EPAC-Bike, and practice off-road until
you are able to operate safely.
Further information about correct installation of the electric drive can be
found in the attached installation information.
7. UPGRADE WITH AN ELECTRIC MOTOR?
ANSMANN provides electric drive systems within its wide range of products
to build electric motor supported bicycles / EPAC-Bikes (Electrically Power
Assisted Cycle), also called Pedelecs (this term consists of the words pedal,
electric and cycle). These drive systems include all necessary parts to build
these types of bicycles. The Components for the electric drive system are
selected to fit to the most common bicycle frames and sizes.
Possibilities
With wide range of bicycle parts, all bicycle manufacturers are able to build
Pedelecs corresponding to all relevant safety regulations. For bicycle fitters
the ANSMANN electric motor retrofit system will allow a standard bicycle to
be upgraded to a Pedelec.
Safety and Risks
All bicycles which are modified to be Pedelec’s (no matter if by a bicycle ma-
nufacturer or trained mechanics at a bicycle dealer) have to confirm with
the safety requirements in accordance to European jurisdiction. Appropriate
tests with these bicycles have to be made. The strength of the bicycle parts
frame is tested. The bicycle is tested under the Device and Product Safety
Act. By the use of the standards DIN EN14764 for City and Trekking Bikes and
