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.

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.

ABS is an added function in some pedelecs.
The rear wheel brake function does not depend on
the anti-blocking system functioning correctly.
When the brakes are applied, the ABS function
detects critical slippage thanks to the wheel speed
sensors on the front and rear wheels and limits
slippage on the front wheel by reducing brake
pressure there, thus stabilising the wheel. Once
the wheel has been stabilised, the wheel is
brought to the blocking limit again by building up
pressure selectively.
The lever moves a little more towards the
handlebars with each brake impulse during this
process. If the wheel blocks again, the pressure is
reduced again. This process is repeated to keep
the wheel at its limit of traction, thus making
optimum use of the coefficient of friction between
the tyres and the road surface.
The ABS function terminates when one of the
following events occurs:
The buffer chamber in the ABS control unit is filled
completely.
The pedelec has come to a halt.
The rider releases the brake.
Besides the ABS function itself, the unit also
includes a system to detect when the rear wheel
is raised during full braking. This enables the rider
to counteract a potential flip-over caused by
extremely hard brake manoeuvres to a certain
extent.
If the battery level falls below a specified
threshold, the system deactivates the power
assistance first. The system will still remain
active, including the display, lights and ABS until
the battery reserve is also used up. The electric
drive system and, consequently, the ABS will not
switch off until the battery has almost fully
discharged.
The indicator lamp lights up for about 5 seconds
before the system switches off completely. The
ABS indicator lamp will then go out, even though
the ABS control system is not available. The ABS
is not active if there is no battery on the pedelec
or its battery is empty.
The brake system itself remains functional. It is
only the anti-blocking system control which no
longer operates.

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.
Figure 14: Diagram of mechanical drive system
1 Direction of travel
2 Chain
3 Rear chain wheel

5 Pedal
The pedelec also has an integrated electric drive
system.
The electric drive system is made up of 8
components:

4.1 Integrated rechargeable battery
4.2 Frame battery and/or
4.3 Pannier rack battery
5 Rear light
6Electric gear shift (alternative)
7Motor
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 pedelec does not have a separate emergency
stop or emergency shut-off button. The drive
system can be stopped in case of emergency by
removing the display.
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.
A push assist system can be activated. The speed
depends on the selected gear. The push assist
continues to drive the pedelec as long as the rider
presses the push assist button on the handlebars.
The speed can be a maximum of 6 km/h in this
case. The drive stops when the plus button is
released.
3.1.5 Rechargeable battery
Bosch rechargeable batteries are lithium ion
batteries which are developed and manufactured
to the latest technical standards. These batteries
meet and exceed applicable industrial safety
standards. The 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. Each
individual cell in a Bosch rechargeable battery is
protected by a steel cup and cased in a plastic
housing. You must not open this housing. You
must also avoid mechanical loads or exposure to
intense heat since they may damage the battery
cells and cause flammable contents to leak out.
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 has a high energy content when
charged. The substances in lithium-ion battery
cells may become inflammable under certain

Overview
conditions. You will find codes of practice for their
safe handling in Section 2 on Safety and
Section 6.9 on Rechargeable battery in the
operating instructions.
If the electric drive system is not used for about
10 minutes (e.g. the pedelec is stationary) and no
button has been pressed on the display or the
control panel, the electric drive system and the
rechargeable battery are automatically switched
off to save energy.
The type and duration of operating conditions
have a significant effect on the battery life. Just
like any other lithium-ion battery, the Bosch
battery will age naturally, even if it is not being
used.
Its battery life can be extended if the battery is well
maintained and, more importantly, stored at the
correct temperatures. The 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.
Battery performance is reduced when the
temperature drops since this increases electrical
resistance. As a result, you should expect the
range to be shorter than normal in winter. We
recommend using thermal protection sleeves
when riding longer distances in the cold.
The pedelec features either an integrated battery,
a pannier rack battery or a frame battery. Each
battery has its own lock.
Three different types of frame batteries can be
fitted: A frame battery, a pannier rack battery or an
integrated battery

3.1.6 Display
The display has two buttons to display the main
drive system functions and the journey data. The
rider can switch off the drive system by removing
the display.
The pedelec's battery powers the display if the
display is inserted in the mount, a sufficiently
charged battery is inserted into the pedelec and
the drive system is switched on.
If the display is removed from its mount, power is
supplied from the display battery. If the display
rechargeable battery is low, a warning message is
shown on the screen.
If the on-board computer is removed from its
mount and not switched off, information on the last
trip distance travelled and status information will
be displayed after one another in a loop.
If no button is pressed after its removal from its
mount, the display will switch off after 1 minute.
The date and time will be maintained for a
maximum of six months without charging the
display rechargeable battery. When it is switched
on again, the date and time will be reset if there is
a Bluetooth connection to the app and successful
GPS localisation on the smartphone.

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 riding 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 bicycles/
bicycles 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 sports
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.
Mountain bikes are a
piece of sports
equipment. Users
require an adaptation
period and must be
physical fit to use
them. 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.
A longer period is
required to adaptation
to the length, width
and turning circle.
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.

riding with a damaged or incomplete pedelec
riding over steps
riding through deep water
lending the pedelec to untrained riders
carrying other people
riding with excessive baggage
riding with no hands

Crash caused by unfastened quick
release
A faulty or incorrectly installed quick release may
become caught in the brake disc and block the
wheel. This will cause a crash.
Never fit a defective quick release.
Crash caused by faulty or incorrectly
installed quick release
The brake disc becomes very hot during
operation. Parts of the quick release may become
damaged as a result. The quick release comes
loose. This will cause a crash with injuries.
The front wheel quick release lever and the
brake disc must be situated on opposite sides.
Crash caused by incorrectly set clamping
force
Excessively high clamping force will damage the
quick release and cause it to lose its function.
Insufficient clamping force will cause a
detrimental transmission of force. The
suspension fork or the quick release may break.
This will cause a crash with injuries.
Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g.
hammer or pliers).
Only use the clamping lever with the specified
set clamping force.

5.3.4.4 Checking the stem and handlebars
Checking connections
Stand in front of the pedelec to check whether
the handlebars, stem and fork steerer are
firmly attached to one another. Clamp the front
wheel between your legs. Grasp the handlebar
grips. Try to twist the handlebars towards the
front wheel.
The stem must not move or twist.
Firm hold
Place your entire body weight on the
handlebars with the quick release lever closed
to check that the stem is firmly in place.
The handlebars shaft must not move
downwards in the fork steerer.
If the handlebars shaft should move in the fork
steerer, increase the quick release lever
tensioning. To do so, turn the knurled nut
slightly in a clockwise direction with the quick
release lever open.
Close the lever and check the stem is firmly in
position.

Checking the headset backlash
To check the handlebar headset backlash,
close the quick release lever on the stem.
Place the fingers of one hand on the upper
headset cup, pull the front wheel brake with the
other hand and try to push the pedelec
backwards and forwards.
The headset cup halves must not move
towards one another while you are doing this.
Note that there may be noticeable backlash
due to worn-out bearing bushes or brake lining
backlash in suspension forks and disc brakes.
If there is headset backlash in the steering
headset, you must adjust it as soon as
possible; otherwise, the headset will become
damaged. You must make the adjustment as
described in the stem manual.
5.3.5 Pedelec sale
Complete the data sheet on the operating
instructions envelope.
Note down the key manufacturer and its
number.

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.
Notice
CAUTION

MY20B01-22_1.0_21.06.2019 51
Operation
6.1.1 Tips for a greater range
How far can a pedelec actually travel? There is no
simple answer to this question as range depends
on many influencing factors. A single battery
charge may only last fewer than 20 kilometres but
much more than 100 is also possible. There are a
few tips which will help you maximize the range.
Cadence
Pedalling frequencies higher than 50 revolutions
per minute optimise drive unit efficiency.
However, very slow pedalling uses up a great deal
of energy.
Weight
Weight should be minimised. The total weight of
the pedelec and baggage should not be
unnecessarily high.
Stopping & starting
Stopping and starting all the time is less
economical than long stretches at the same
speed, just like with a car.
Gear shift
Shifting gears correctly also makes pedelecs
more efficient: It is best to set off and ride up hills
using a low gear and switch up a gear depending
on the speed and terrain. The on-board computer
provides gear shift recommendations.
Tyre pressure
Rolling resistance can be minimised if tyres are
inflated to the right pressure. Tip: Use the
maximum permitted tyre pressure to optimize your
range.
Motor power indicator
Keep an eye on the motor power indicator on the
display screen and adjust your riding accordingly.
A long bar indicates high power consumption.
Battery & temperature
Battery performance is reduced as the
temperature drops since this increases electrical
resistance. As a result, you should expect the
range to be shorter than normal in winter.
6.1.2 Personal protective equipment
We recommend that you wear a suitable cycling
helmet. We also recommend that you wear sturdy
footwear and typical, close-fitting, reflective
cycling clothing.
Moisture penetrating at low temperatures may
impair individual pedelec functions due to the
open structural design.
Always keep the pedelec dry and free from
frost.
If the pedelec is to be used at temperatures
below 3 °C, the specialist dealer must carry
out an inspection and prepare the pedelec for
winter usage first.
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.
Off-road riding subjects the joints in the arms to
severe strain.
Take a break from riding every 30 to
90 minutes, depending on the road surface
conditions

Operation
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 46: 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 47: Optimal saddle height
6.3.2.1 Adjusting the seat height with quick
release
Open the quick release on the seat post to
change the seat height. To do so, push the
clamping lever away from the seat post.

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.
Figure 50: The seat post activation lever can be installed
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.
The rider is sitting in the optimal sitting position
if the knee cap perpendicular line runs through
the pedal axle. If the perpendicular line crosses
behind the pedal, bring the saddle forward. If
the perpendicular line crosses in front of the
pedal, bring the saddle back. Move the saddle
within its permitted displacement range only
(marked on the saddle stay).
Figure 51: Knee cap perpendicular line
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

screws of the handlebars.
Crash caused by loose stem
Incorrectly fastened screws may come loose due
to impact. The stem may no longer be firmly fixed
in its position as a result. This will cause a crash
with injuries.
Check the handlebars and the quick release
system are firmly in position after the first two
hours of riding.
Crash caused by incorrectly set clamping
force
Excessively high clamping force will damage the
quick release and cause it to lose its function.
Insufficient clamping force will cause a
detrimental transmission of force. This can cause
components to break. This will cause a crash with
injuries.
Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g.
hammer or pliers).
Only use the clamping lever with the specified
set clamping force.

6.3.5 Adjusting the suspension of the
Suntour fork
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The following Suntour forks can be installed in this
series of models:
The adjustment shown here represents a basic
setting. The rider should change the basic setting
to suit the surface and his/her preferences.
It is advisable to make a note of the basic
setting. This way, it can be used as the starting
point for subsequent, optimised settings and to
safeguard against unintentional changes.
6.3.5.1 Adjusting the negative deflection
Negative deflection (sag) is compression of the
fork caused by the weight of the rider and their
gear (e.g. a backpack), the sitting position and the
frame geometry. This sag is not caused by riding.
Each rider has a different weight and sitting
position. The sag depends on the rider's position
and weight and should be between 15% and 30%
of the maximum fork deflection, depending on
pedelec usage and preferences.

6.5 Before each ride 6.6 Check list before each ride
Check the pedelec before each ride.
Do not use the pedelec if there is evidently
something wrong with it.
Crash caused by difficult-to-spot damage
If the pedelec topples over or you have a fall or an
accident, there may be difficult-to-spot damage to
components such as the brake system, quick
releases or frame. This may cause a crash with
injuries.
Take the pedelec out of service and have a
specialist dealer carry out an inspection.
Crash caused by material fatigue
Intensive use can cause material fatigue. A
component may suddenly fail in case of material
fatigue. This may cause a crash with injuries.
Remove the pedelec from service immediately
if there are any signs of material fatigue. Have
the specialist dealer check the state.
Have the specialist dealer carry out a basic
inspection regularly. During the inspection, the
specialist dealer will inspect the pedelec for
any signs of material fatigue on the frame,
fork, suspension element mountings (if there
are any) and components made of composite
materials.
Carbon becomes brittle when exposed to heat
radiation such as heating. This can cause the
carbon part to break and result in a crash with
injuries.
Never expose carbon parts on the pedelec to
strong sources of heat.
CAUTION
!
Check that the pedelec is complete.
Check the battery is firmly in place.
Check that the lighting, reflector and brake, for instance,
are sufficiently clean.
You must check that the mudguards, the pannier rack and
the chain guard are securely installed.
Check that the front and rear wheels run true. This is
particularly important if the pedelec been transported or
secured with a lock.
Check the valves and the tyre pressure. Adjust as
necessary before each ride.
If the pedelec has a hydraulic rim brake, check whether the
locking levers are fully closed in their final positions.
Check the front and rear wheel brakes to make sure that
they are working properly. To do so, push the brake levers
while stationary to check whether resistance is generated
in the usual brake lever position. The brake must not lose
any brake fluid.
Check that the riding light is working.
Check for unusual noises, vibrations, smells, staining,
deformation, cracks, scores, abrasion and wear. This
indicates material fatigue.
Inspect suspension system for cracks, dents, bumps, parts
or leaking oil. Look at concealed sections on the pedelec's
lower surface.
Use body weight to compress suspension system. Adjust to
the optimum sag value if suspension is too soft.
If quick releases are used check them to make sure that
they are fully closed in their end position. If quick release
axle systems are used, make sure that all attachment
screws are tightened to the correct torque.
Be alert to any unusual operating sensations when braking,
pedalling or steering.
Check that the ABS indicator lamp lights up correctly on
pedelecs with an ABS system.

may topple over.
The pedelec must be parked on firm, level
ground only.
It is particularly important to check that the
pedelec is stable if it is equipped with
accessories or loaded with baggage.
Crash caused by loaded pannier rack
The pedelec is handled differently with a loaded
pannier rack, in particular when the rider needs to
steer and brake. This can lead to a loss of control.
This may cause a crash with injuries.
You should practice how to use a loaded
pannier rack safely before using the pedelec in
public spaces.
CAUTION
!
CAUTION
!
Crash caused by unsecured baggage
Loose or unsecured objects on the pannier rack,
e.g. belts, may become caught in the rear wheel.
This may cause a crash with injuries.
Objects which are fastened to the pannier rack
may cover the pedelec's reflectors and the riding
light. Other users may not see the pedelec on
public roads as a result. This may cause a crash

Hydraulic fluid can be fatal if it is swallowed
and penetrates into the respiratory system
Hydraulic fluid may leak out after an accident or
due to material fatigue. Hydraulic fluid can be
fatal if swallowed and inhaled.
First aid treatment
Wear gloves and safety goggles as protective
equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.
Remove those affected from the danger area to
fresh air. Never leave those affected unattended.
Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Immediately remove clothing items contaminated
with hydraulic fluid.
Serious slip hazard due to hydraulic fluid
leakage.
Keep away from naked flames, hot surfaces and
sources of ignition.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Do not inhale vapours or aerosols.
After inhalation
Take in fresh air; consult doctor if any pain or
discomfort.
After skin contact
Wash affected skin with soap and water and
rinse well. Remove contaminated clothing.
Consult doctor if any pain or discomfort.
After contact with eyes
Rinse eyes under flowing water for at least ten
minutes with the lids open; also rinse under lids.
Consult eye doctor if pain or discomfort
continues.
DANGER
!
After swallowing
Rinse out mouth with water. Never induce
vomiting! Risk of aspiration!
Place a person lying on their back who is
vomiting in a stable recovery position on their
side. Seek medical advice immediately.
Environmental protection measures
Never allow hydraulic fluid to flow into the
sewage system, surface water or groundwater.
Notify the relevant authorities if fluid penetrates
the ground or pollutes water bodies or the
sewage system.
Crash caused by brake failure
Oil or lubricant on the brake disc in a disc brake
or on the rim of a rim brake can cause the brake
to fail completely. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.
Never allow oil or lubricant to come into contact
with the brake disc or brake linings or on the rim
of a rim brake.
If the brake linings have come into contact with oil
or lubricant, contact a dealer or a workshop to
have the components cleaned or replaced.
If the brakes are applied continuously for a long
time (e.g. while riding downhill for a long time),
the fluid in the brake system may heat up. This
may create a vapour bubble. This will cause air
bubbles or any water contained in the brake
system to expand. This may suddenly make the
lever travel wider. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.
Release the brake regularly when riding downhill
for a longer period of time.
DANGER
!
WARNING
!
MY20B01-22_1.0_21.06.2019 82
Operation
The drive force of the motor is shut off during the
ride as soon as the rider no longer pedals. The
drive system does not switch off when braking.
In order to achieve optimum braking results, do
not pedal while braking.
6.11.1 Using the brake lever
Figure 74: Front (2) and rear (1) brake lever; Shimano
brake used as an example
Push the left brake lever for the front wheel brake
and the right lever for the rear wheel brake until
the desired speed is reached.
Amputation due to rotating brake disc
The brake disc in disc brakes is so sharp that it
can cause serious injuries to fingers if they are
inserted into the disc brake openings.
Always keep fingers well away from the rotating
brake disc.
Crash caused by wet conditions
The tyres may slip on wet roads. In wet conditions
you must also expect a longer braking distance.
The braking sensation differs from the usual
sensation. This can cause loss of control or a
crash, which may result in injuries.
Ride slowly and brake in good time.
Crash caused by incorrect use
Handling the brake improperly can lead to loss of
control or crashes, which may result in injuries.
Shift your body weight backwards and down as
far as possible.
Practice braking and emergency braking before
using the pedelec in public spaces.
Never use the pedelec if you can feel no
resistance when you grip the brake handle.
Consult a specialist dealer.
Burns caused by heated brake
The brakes may become very hot during
operation. There is a risk of burns or fire in case
of contact.
Never touch the components of the brake directly
after the ride.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Crash after cleaning or storage
The brake system is not designed for use on a
pedelec which is placed on its side or turned
upside down. The brake may not function
correctly as a result. This can cause a crash,
which may result in injuries.
If the pedelec is placed on its side or turned
upside down, apply the brake a couple of times
before setting off to ensure that it works as
normal.
Never use the pedelec if it no longer brakes as
normal. Consult a specialist dealer.

Operation
6.11.2 Using the back-pedal brake
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The best braking effect is achieved if the pedals
are in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position when
braking. To bridge the free travel between the
riding movement and the braking movement, it is
recommendable to pedal a little beyond the
3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position before you pedal
in the opposite direction to the direction of travel
and start braking.
Pedal in the opposite direction to the direction of
travel until the desired speed has been reached.
6.11.3 Using ABS
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
Accident due to ABS failure
If the ABS indicator lamp is lit, the ABS function is
not active.
Adapt riding to the circumstances.
In extreme riding situations, the ABS may not be
able to regulate until the pedelec comes to a halt.
This may cause a crash with serious injuries.
Release the front wheel brake briefly. This allows
you to brake with the ABS function again.
Adjust your riding to the current ambient
conditions and your personal riding skills
An ABS malfunction cannot be displayed if the
ABS indicator lamp is faulty.
Ensure that the ABS indicator lamp lights up
when you start up the electric drive system; if it
doesn’t, the indicator lamp is faulty.
WARNING
!
Accidents on bends and slippery ground
You are at greater risk of falling off if you use ABS
braking manoeuvres on bends. It is easier for
tyres to skid on slippery ground, meaning there is
a greater risk of falling off. This may cause a
crash with serious injuries.
Adjust your riding to the current ambient
conditions and your personal riding skills
Accidents due to extended braking distance
The ABS suppresses blocking on the front wheel.
This may cause the braking distance to be longer
in some situations. This may cause an accident
with serious injuries.
Adjust your riding to the current ambient
conditions and your personal riding skills
Never fool about when riding.
Accidents due to air in the hydraulic system
Air in the brake system can mean less brake
pressure builds up, particularly when the ABS has
activated causing the brake lever to move closer
to the handlebars. This may cause an accident
with serious injuries.
It’s therefore important to pull on the brake before
each ride to check whether you can reach a
clearly noticeable pressure point and whether the
gap between the brake lever and handlebar grip
is still sufficient. The pressure point should arise
at about third of the brake lever path.
If in doubt, place the lever path adjuster in the
maximum possible position.
If any air has entered the brake system, contact
your specialist dealer.
Adjust your riding to the current ambient
conditions and your personal riding skills

MY20B01-22_1.0_21.06.2019 84
Operation
6.11.3.1 While riding
The anti-blocking system indicator lamp must light
up after the system has started up and must go
out once speed has reached about 5 km/h. If the
ABS indicator lamp does not light up when the
electric drive system starts, the ABS is defective.
An error code on the display also tells the rider
that it is defective. If the indicator lamp does not
go out after you set off or it lights up while you are
riding, this means there is an error in the anti-
blocking system. The anti-blocking system is then
no longer active. The brake system itself remains
functional. It is only the anti-blocking system
control which no longer operates. If the ABS
indicator lamp is lit, the ABS function is not active
Adjust your riding to the current ambient
conditions and your personal riding skills
Remember that the anti-blocking system can
make your braking distance longer.
Reduce your speed on slippery ground. Brake in
bursts and in good time.
You need to stop and restart the pedelec (switch
off and on again) to reactivate the anti-blocking
system.
6.12 Suspension and damping
6.12.1 Adjusting the compression of the
Fox fork
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The compression adjuster makes it possible to
make quick adjustments to the suspension
behaviour of the fork to suit changes in terrain. It
is intended for adjustments made during the ride.
Figure 75: FOX compression adjuster with the OPEN (1)
and HARD (2) positions
Compression damping is lowest in the OPEN
position, making the fork feel softer. Use the
HARD position if you want to the fork feel stiffer
and you are riding on soft ground. The lever posi-
tions between the OPEN and HARD positions
enable fine adjustment of compression damping.
We recommend setting the lever of the compres-
sion adjuster to the OPEN mode position first.
Accidents due to manipulation
Modified or manipulated ABS components or use
of non-authorised replacement components will
have an adverse effect on the ABS function. This
may cause a crash with serious injuries.
Always carry out maintenance work and repairs
correctly.
Replace defective components with original parts
only.
Damage to components or risk of crushing
There is a gap between the ABS control unit and
the frame. Components or body parts can be
crushed if the handlebars are turned completely.
This can cause injuries or damage to components.
Ensure you do not pinch any components such
as brake cables, wiring or parts of your body
between the frame and the ABS control unit.
If you wish to fasten accessories to the
handlebars, ensure that handlebars can move
freely to each side by at least 60° from their
central position. You can prevent fingers
becoming trapped with a clearance of 25 mm.
Steering limiters should be used if necessary.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Notice
The anti-blocking system indicator lamp may light up
if the front and rear wheels are rotating at widely
different speeds from one another – for example, if
the rider cycles on the rear wheel only or if a wheel
is rotating for a unusually long time without making
contact with the ground (fitting stand). The anti-
blocking system switches off in such cases.

Fox damper
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The compression adjuster makes it possible to
make quick adjustments to the suspension
behaviour of the damper to suit changes in terrain.
It is intended for adjustments made during the
ride.
Figure 76: FOX compression adjuster on the rear frame
damper with the OPEN (1), MEDIUM (2) and HARD (3)
positions
Use the OPEN position for rough descents, the
MEDIUM position for rough terrain and the HARD
position for efficient climbing. First set the
compression adjuster to the OPEN position.
Figure 77: Fine adjustment of the OPEN position is made
using the adjuster (4)
The FOX rear frame damper features fine
adjustment for the OPEN position.
We recommend that fine adjustments be made
when the compression adjuster is in the MEDIUM

is intended for adjustments made during the ride.
Figure 78: Suntour compression adjuster with the
OPEN (1) and LOCK (2) positions
Compression damping is lowest in the OPEN
position, making the fork feel softer. Use the
LOCK position if you want the fork to feel stiffer
and you are riding on soft ground. The lever
positions between the OPEN and LOCK positions
enable fine adjustment of compression damping.
We recommend setting the lever of the
compression adjuster to the OPEN position first.

6.12.5 Adjusting the rebound in a Rock
Shox damper
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The rebound damper determines the speed at
which the fork rebounds to full length after
deflection. This speed affects the wheel's contact
with the ground and thus has an influence on
control and efficiency. The rear frame damper
should rebound fast enough to sustain traction
without producing an erratic or bumpy sensation.
If rebound damping is too tight, the rear frame
damper is unable to rebound fast enough before
the next impact. The rebound damper for the rear
wheel is located in the rear frame damper.
Figure 81: Setting the rebound damper strength on the
rear frame damper setting wheel (1)
Turn the setting wheel to the middle position.
Ride the pedelec over a small obstacle.
The ideal setting for the rebound damper has
been achieved when the rebound movement of
the rear wheel feels comparable to that of the
front wheel.
If the rear wheel bounces back much more
quickly or slowly than the front wheel, change the
setting by turning the setting wheel.
Turn the setting wheel in an anti-clockwise
direction to increase the rebound speed.
Turn the setting wheel in a clockwise direction to
decrease the rebound speed.
6.12.6 Adjusting the compression in a
Rock Shox damper
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
The compression damper controls the speed at
which the rear frame damper deflects during slow
impact, such as smaller impacts or when the rider
goes round a corner or shifts their weight. The
damper improves control and efficiency.
If the compression damper is set too high, the
suspension is too hard during impacts. The lever
is used to set the compression damper.
Turn the setting wheel in a clockwise direction (+)
to decrease the deflection speed.
Turn the setting wheel in an anti-clockwise
direction (–) to increase the deflection speed.
Figure 82: Setting the compression damper strength
using the rear frame damper setting lever (1)
6.13 Gear shift
The selection of the appropriate gear is a
prerequisite for a physically comfortable ride and
making sure that the electric drive system
functions properly. The ideal pedalling frequency
is between 70 and 80 revolutions per minute.
It is advisable to stop pedalling briefly when
changing gears. This makes it easier to switch
gears and reduces wear on the drivetrain.

changed gear.
6.13.3 Use eShift
eShift refers to the integration of electronic gear
shift systems into the pedelec system.
6.13.3.1 eShift with Shimano DI2 automatic
hub gears
Only applies to pedelecs with this equipment
You can operate the automatic Shimano DI2 hub
gears in manual mode or automatic mode. You
used the shifter to change gears in manual mode.
In automatic mode, the shift system changes gear
automatically depending on the speed, pedalling
power and pedalling frequency.
Crash caused by incorrect use
If the rider applies too much pressure on the pedals
during a gear change and activates the shifter or
changes several gears at a time, their feet may slip
from the pedals. As a result, the pedelec may flip
over or fall, which may cause injury.
Switching down several gears to a low gear may
cause the twist grip outer sleeve to suddenly come
off. This will not have an adverse effect on the twist
grip's correct functioning since the outer guide
returns to its original position after the gear change
is complete.
Apply little pressure on the pedals while changing
gears.
Never change more than one gear at a time.

Operation
You will find how to switch from automatic to
manual mode, depending on the shifter used,
described in your operating instructions for your
gear shift.
If you use the shifter when in automatic mode, the
gear system will change to the next gear, but it will
remain in automatic mode.
Manual gear changes in automatic mode
influence shift behaviour in your gear system and
adjust gear changes to your riding performance
since it is a self-learning system.
If the system is switched on for the first time when
a new, unused wheel is used, the system will learn
the gears first. To do so, the automatic system
changes to the highest/most difficult gear and
then switches through all gears during the first
ride. The new gear is shown briefly on the screen
each time it is changed.
Since the drive unit detects the gear shift and
consequently reduces motor assistance briefly, it
is also possible to switch gears under load or on
hills.
If the pedelec is brought to a halt from a speed
greater than 10 km, the system can automatically
switch back to a pre-set START GEAR.
You can set the START GEAR in the system
settings.

Check the rims for wear.
The rims of a rim brake with invisible wear
indicator are worn as soon as the wear indicator
becomes visible in the area of the rim joint.
The rims with visible wear indicator are worn as
soon as the black, all-round groove on the pad
friction surface is no longer visible. We
recommend that you also replace the rims with
every second brake lining replacement.
Check the tension of the spokes.
7.4.2 Checking the tyres
Check the tyre wear. The tyre is worn if the anti-
puncture protection or the carcass cords are
visible.
A specialist dealer will need to change the tyre if
it is worn.
7.4.3 Checking the rims

We recommend that you also replace the rims at
the same time as every second brake lining
replacement.
7.4.4 Check and correct tyre pressure
7.4.4.1 Dunlop valve
The tyre pressure cannot be
measured on the simple Dunlop
valve. The tyre pressure is
therefore measured in the filling
hose when pumping slowly with
the bicycle pump.
It is recommendable to use a
bicycle pump with a pressure
gauge. The operating
instructions for the bicycle pump
must be adhered to.
Unscrew and remove the valve
cap.
Connect the bicycle pump.
Pump up the tyre slowly and
pay attention to the tyre pressure
in the process.
Correct the tyre pressure according to
specifications in the Pedelec pass.
If the tyre pressure is too high, unfasten the union
nut, let out air and tighten the union nut again.
Remove the bicycle pump.
Screw the valve cap tight.
Screw the rim nut gently against the rim with the
tips of your fingers.
Crash and falling caused by unintentional
activation
There is a risk of injury if the drive system is
activated unintentionally.
Remove the battery before maintenance.
Crash caused by braking hard on rims
A rim can break and block the wheel if you brake
hard. This may cause a crash with serious
injuries.
Check rim wear on a regular basis.
Notice
If the tyre pressure is too low in the tyre, the tyre
does not achieve its load bearing capacity. The
tyre is not stable and may come off the rim.
If the tyre pressure is too high, the tyre may burst.
Check the tyre pressure as per specifications
Adjust the tyre pressure as necessary.

7.4.5 Brake system
The maintenance interval for the brake depends on
the weather conditions and how frequent the
pedelec is used. If the pedelec is used under
extreme conditions such as rain, dirt or high
mileage, maintenance must be performed more
frequently.
7.4.6 Checking the brake linings for wear
Check brake linings after brake has been fully
applied 1,000 times.
Check that the brake linings are no less than
1.8 mm wide at any point and no less than
2.5 mm between the brake lining and
supporting plate.
Push brake lever and hold. In doing so, check
the transport safety wear gauge can fit
between the brake lining supporting plates.
The brake linings have not reached their wear
limit. If they have, a specialist dealer will need
to replace the brake linings.
7.4.7 Checking the pressure point
Push brake lever and hold several times.
If you are unable to clearly detect the pressure
point and it changes, a ZEG specialist dealer
needs to vent the brake.

to the loosened screws and the screws
tightened as per specifications.
Check for wear and signs of corrosion
(maintain with an oily cloth) and for oil leaks.
7.4.12 USB port
7.4.13 Checking the belt and chain tension
Check the chain tension in three or four
positions, turning the crank a full revolution.
If the chain can be pushed more than 2 cm, the
chain or drive belt will need to be tensioned
again by the specialist dealer.
If the chain or the drive belt can only be pushed
up and down less than 1 cm, you will need to
slacken the chain or the drive belt.
The optimum chain tension is achieved if the
chain or the drive belt can be pushed a
maximum of 2 cm in the middle between the
pinion and the toothed wheel. The crank must
also turn without resistance.
If a hub gear is featured, the rear wheel must
be pushed backwards or forwards to tighten
the chain. This should be done by a specialist
only.
Figure 85: Checking the chain tension
7.4.14 Checking the handlebar grip
position
Check the handlebar grip is firmly in position.
Notice
Any moisture which enters through the USB port
may trigger a short circuit in the display.
Regularly check the position of the cover on the
USB port and adjust it as necessary.
Notice
Excessive chain tension increases wear.
If the chain tension is too low, there is a risk that
the chain or the drive belt will slip off the chain
wheels.
Check the chain tension once a month.

Maintenance
8 Maintenance
You must have the specialist dealer perform
maintenance every six months as a minimum.
This is the only way to ensure that the pedelec
remains safe and fully functional.
Special tools, special lubricants and knowledge of
suspension components are required to maintain
and repair brake discs as well as vent brakes or
replace brake discs. The pedelec may become
damaged if the stipulated maintenance intervals
and procedures are not carried out. That is why
only specialist dealers may carry out
maintenance.
The retailer will check the pedelec based on
the maintenance table in the appendix.
The specialist dealer will inspect the pedelec
for any signs of material fatigue during basic
cleaning.
The specialist dealer will check the software
version of the drive system and update it. The
electrical connections are checked, cleaned
and preservative agent is applied. The
electrical cables are inspected for damage.
The specialist dealer will dismantle and clean
the entire suspension fork interior and exterior.
They will clean and lubricate the dust seals and
slide bushings, check the torques and adjust
the fork to the rider's preferred position. They
will also replace the sliding collar if the
Injury due to damaged brakes
Special tools and specialist knowledge are
required to repair the brakes. Incorrect or
unauthorised assembly can damage the brakes.
This may lead to an accident with injuries.
Only specialist dealers may carry out repairs
on brakes.
Never carry out work or changes (such as
dismantling, sanding or painting) which are not
explicitly allowed and described in the brake user
manual.
Injury to the eyes
Problems may arise if the settings are not made
properly and you may sustain serious injuries as
a result.
Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes
when carrying out maintenance work such as
replacing components.
Crash and falling caused by unintentional
activation
There is a risk of injury if the drive system is
activated unintentionally.
Remove the battery before inspection.
Crash caused by material fatigue
If the service life of a component has expired, the
component may suddenly fail. This may cause a
crash with injuries.
Have the specialist dealer carry out basic
cleaning of the pedelec every six months,
preferably at the same time as the required
servicing work.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Hazard for the environment due to toxic
substances
The brake system contains toxic and
environmentally harmful oils and lubricants. Such
fluids will contaminate if they enter the sewers or
groundwater.
Dispose of lubricants and oils left over after
repairs in an environmentally responsible way
in accordance with statutory regulations.
Notice
The motor is maintenance-free and may only be
opened by qualified specialist personnel.
Never open the motor.
CAUTION
!
MY20B01-22_1.0_21.06.2019 97
Maintenance
clearance is too great (more than 1 mm on the
fork bridge).
The specialist dealer will fully inspect the
interior and exterior of the rear frame damper,
overhaul the rear frame damper, replace all air
seals on air forks, overhaul the air suspension,
change the oil and replace the dust wipers.
They will pay particular attention to rim and
brake wear. The spokes are re-tightened in
accordance with the findings.
8.1 Axle with quick release
8.1.1 Checking the quick release
Check the position and clamping force of the
quick release lever. The quick release lever
must be flush with the lower housing. You must
be able to see a slight impression on the palm
of your hand when you close the quick release
lever.
Figure 86: Adjusting the quick release clamping force
Use a 4 mm hexagon socket spanner to adjust
the clamping lever clamping force if required.
Afterwards, check the quick release lever
position and clamping force.
Figure 87: Adjusting the quick release clamping force
8.2 Adjusting the gear shift
If you cannot select the gears effortlessly, you will
need to adjust the setting for the shift cable
tension.
Carefully pull the adjusting sleeve away from
the shifter housing, turning it as you do so.
Check the gear shift function after each
adjustment.
Crash caused by unfastened quick
release
A faulty or incorrectly installed quick release may
become caught in the brake disc and block the
wheel. This will cause a crash.
Install the front wheel quick release lever on
the opposite side to the brake disc.
Crash caused by faulty or incorrectly
installed quick release
The brake disc becomes very hot during
operation. Parts of the quick release may become
damaged as a result. The quick release comes
loose. This will cause a crash with injuries.
The front wheel quick release lever and the
brake disc must be situated on opposite sides.
Crash caused by incorrectly set clamping
force
Excessively high clamping force will damage the
quick release and cause it to lose its function.
Insufficient clamping force will cause a
detrimental transmission of force. The
suspension fork or the frame may break. This will
cause a crash with injuries.
Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g.
hammer or pliers).
Only use the clamping lever with the specified
set clamping force.
