About these instructions
2 About these instructions
Read these operating instructions before
commissioning the bicycle in order to use all the
functions correctly and safely. They are not a
substitute for personal training by the supplying
HERCULES specialist dealer. The operating
instructions are a component part of the bicycle.
Therefore, if it is re-sold at a later time, they must be
handed over to the subsequent owner.
These operating instructions are mainly directed at the
rider and user of the cycle. In general, they are
technical laypersons
Text passages which are directed expressly at
specialist staff (e.g. bicycle mechanics), are clearly
marked with a blue tool symbol.
.
Staff at all HERCULES specialist dealers have
specialist training and qualifications, and are therefore
capable of identifying risks and preventing hazards
which may arise during maintenance, servicing and
repairs on the bicycle. Information for specialist staff
does not require technical laypersons to take any
action.

3 Safety
3.1 Requirements for the rider
If there are no legal requirements for the rider of
electrically power assisted cycles, we recommend that
the rider should be a minimum 15 years of age and
have experience with muscle-powered bicycles.
The physical and mental abilities of the rider must be
sufficient for the use of a muscle-powered bicycle.
If the bicycle is used by minors, as well as thorough
instruction to be provided by or in the presence of the
legal guardians, supervised use should also be
scheduled until there is certainty that the bicycle is
being used in accordance with these operating
instructions. The legal guardians hold sole
responsibility for determining whether minors are
suitable to use the bicycle.
3.2 Hazards for vulnerable groups
The battery and the charger must be kept out of the
reach of children.
3.3 Proper use
The bicycle must only be used in perfect, fully
functional condition. National requirements may apply
to the bicycle which differ from the standard
equipment. For riding on public roads, some special
regulations apply in relation to running light, reflectors
and other components.

Safety
034-11411_1.1_20.09.2017
22
The general laws and the regulations for the
prevention of accidents and environmental protection
in the respective country of use must be adhered to.
Proper use also includes all instructions for actions
and check lists in these operating instructions.
Approved accessories can be installed by specialist
staff.
Each bicycle is assigned to a bicycle type which
determines the proper use
3.3.1 City and trekking bicycle
City and trekking bicycles are designed for daily,
comfortable use on asphalted roads and paths. They
are suitable for riding on public roads.
City and trekking bicycles are not sports bicycles. If
used for sports, reduced riding stability and diminished
comfort are to be expected. City and trekking bicycles
are not suitable for riding off-road.
3.3.2 Mountain bike
A mountain bike is designed for sporting use on
asphalted and non-asphalted paths. The design
characteristics thus include a short wheelbase, a
sitting position with the rider inclined towards the front,
and a brake requiring low actuation force.
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.
EN_034-11411_1.0_09.18_HERCULES BOSCH_Intuvia_Inhalt.book Seite 22 Mittwoch, 20. September 2017 10:17 10
034-11411_1.1_20.09.2017 23
Safety
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.
3.3.3 Cycle for children and young adults
These operating instructions must be read and
understood by the legal guardians of minor riders
before commissioning.
The content of the 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 cycle must
be checked regularly for orthopaedic reasons. A check
must be made at least every three months to make
sure that the permitted overall weight is being adhered
to.
Cycles for children and young adults are not toys. The
sitting position is athletic.
3.3.4 Carrier bicycle
The carrier bicycle is specifically engineered for daily
transportation of loads on asphalted 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.

Safety
034-11411_1.1_20.09.2017
24
The length of the bicycle, the width and the turning
circle require a longer period of adaptation. The carrier
bicycle requires cautious riding. You must pay
attention to the traffic on public roads and the
condition of the route accordingly.
The carrier bicycle is not a sports bicycle.
3.3.5 Folding bicycle
A folding bicycle is designed for use on asphalted
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.
A folding bicycle is not a touring bicycle or a sports
bicycle. 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.

Safety
3.4 Improper use
Failure to adhere to the proper use causes a risk of
personal injury and material damage. The bicycle is
not suitable for the following uses:
riding with a damaged or incomplete bicycle,
riding over steps,
riding through deep water,
lending the bicycle to untrained riders,
carrying further passengers,
riding with excessive luggage,
riding with no hands,
riding on ice and snow,
improper servicing,
improper repair,
demanding areas of use, such as professional
competition, and
stunt riding or acrobatics.
3.5 Personal protective equipment
We recommend that you wear a suitable safety
helmet. We also recommend that you wear typical,
close-fitting cycling clothing and sturdy footwear.

Description
4.3.2 Suspension
A suspension fork has two functions which improve the
floor contact and the comfort: the suspension and the
damping.
21
Figure 5: Bicycle without suspension (1) and with suspension (2) when
riding over an obstacle
The suspension prevents an impact, e.g. caused by a
stone lying in the way, from being directed directly into
the rider's body via a fork. Instead, it is absorbed by the
suspension system. This causes the suspension fork
to compress. The compression can be disabled so that
a suspension fork reacts like a rigid fork.
The compressed suspension fork then returns to its
original position. The damper decelerates the
movement and thus prevents the suspension system
from springing back in an uncontrolled manner, and
the fork from oscillating up and down.
Dampers which dampen the compressive deflection
movements, i.e. the compression load, are called
compression dampers or dashpots.
Dampers which dampen the rebound deflection
movements, i.e. the rebound load, are called rebound
dampers or dashpots.

Description
The bicycle does not have a separate EMERGENCY
STOP or EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF button. The drive
system with removable display 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 pushing aid can be activated. The pushing aid
continues to drive the bicycle as long as the rider
pushes the plus button on the handlebars. The
maximum speed in the process is 6 km/h. The drive
stops when the plus button is released.
4.5.1 Battery
The lithium ion battery has an internal electronic
protection circuit. It is matched to the charger and the
bicycle. The temperature of the battery is monitored
constantly. The battery is safeguarded against deep
discharge, overcharging, overheating and short
circuit. In case of a risk the battery is switched off
automatically by a protective circuit. The battery also
switches to sleep mode for self-protection when not
used for a longer period.
The service life of the battery can be extended if it is
well cared for and, above all, stored at the correct
temperatures. Even if the battery is cared for properly,
the charge status of the battery reduces as it ages. If
the operating time is severely shortened after
charging, this is a sign that the battery is spent.

7.8 Brakes
CAUTION
!
Crash caused by incorrect use
Handling the brake improperly can lead to loss of
control or crashes, which may result in injuries.
CAUTION
!
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.
CAUTION
!
Crash after cleaning, servicing or repair
After cleaning, servicing or repairing the bicycle, the
braking effect may be temporarily unusually weak. This
may result in a crash and injuries.
CAUTION
!
Burns caused by heated brake
The brakes may become very hot during operation.
There is a risk of burns in case of contact.
7.8.1 Using the brake
Pull the brake lever until the desired speed has
been reached.
Shift your weight back and down as far as possible.
Practise braking and emergency braking before the
bicycle is used in public spaces.
Ride slowly and brake in good time.
After cleaning, servicing or repair, carry out a few
test brake applications.
Never touch the components of the brake directly
after the ride.

Operation
7.8.2 Using the back-pedal brake
(Alternative 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.

7.9 Suspension and damping
7.9.1 Locking the front wheel suspension
(Alternative equipment)
When the fork lock is in the open position, the
suspension system has activated suspension and thus
provides the rider and the bicycle with relief. Riding
with the fork lock open should therefore be preferred
for everyday riding.
When riding downhill or at high speed, for instance,
the force which is exerted on the drive is absorbed by
the suspension system and reduced by up to 50%. In
these cases it is recommendable to close the
suspension fork.
The fork lock may be situated directly on the fork or on
the handlebars, depending on the version.

technical layperson does not have, may be required.
Therefore, the initial installation of a child seat must be
performed by the HERCULES specialist dealer in
order to maintain operational and product safety.
When installing a child seat, the HERCULES specialist
dealer makes sure that the seat and the fastening
mechanism for the seat suit the bicycle, that all
components are installed and firmly fastened, that shift
cables, brake cables, hydraulic and electrical cables
are adjusted as necessary, that the freedom of
movement of the rider is not restricted, and the
permitted total weight of the bicycle is not exceeded.
The HERCULES specialist dealer provides instruction
on how to handle the bicycle and the child seat.
