Besv JGR Premium E-Bikes
Congratulations! You have just purchased the finest pedal-assisted electric
bicycle in the market today.
Your BESV e-bike can be pedaled like a normal bike, and it can assist you
while you pedal. Be sure to read this Quick Start Guide before you start an
amazing ride with your BESV e-bike.
Introduction
Pedelec (A Type of E-Bike)
A pedelec is an electrically assisted bike that provides assistance when and
only when you pedal. The torque sensor located on the pedal crank bearing
detects how hard you are pedaling and determines how much power the motor
should provide to give you a pleasant ride. The electric motor is turned off as
soon as you stop pedaling.
In most countries, there are laws regarding pedelec design and the use of
pedelec. For example, the maximum assisted speed is 25 km/hr (15.5 mph) in
European countries. When you are reaching the maximum assisted speed, the
motor starts to reduce its power output until it ceases in order to meet the
law requirement. However, with pedal-assist function off, you may be able to
surpass the maximum assisted speed with your physical strength and agility.
Intended Use
For your safety and for avoiding damages to your bike, please make sure your
pedelec is used according to its intended use.
BESV JGR is designed to be a gravel pedelec. Please ride your bike under
suitable conditions. If you have other needs, such as downhill riding, please
select other suitable bikes for your safety.
This pedelec is designed to be ridden by only one person (the rider) and does
not permit carrying infant, children or animals.
Pedelec do not intend to limit the stature, perception, and mental ability of
its user; however, a child under 14 years old is prohibited to ride the
pedelec. (Please check your local laws; the minimum age may be higher.)
According to EN regulation the maximum gross weight of the e-bike, including
the weight of rider, accessories and/or cargo, is under 120 kg (264 lb). Do
not exceed the allowable gross weight. It is also not designed to pull or tow
another bike, trailer, or any other items via a connection system.
Notes for Cleaning
Do not use high-pressure or steam cleaning equipment to clean the bike. The
steam or water jet coming from a high-pressure cleaning machine may cause
damages to the bearings, bolted parts, tires or other bike surfaces and may be
difficult to be seen with naked eye. Water may also seep into bearings or damage
the electrical parts of the e-bike system. Such damages may lead to
malfunction and therefore risk of accident. Please try to keep your bike dry,
and avoid using excess water t o clean it.
Use soft cloth, sponge or brush to clean your bike. Use moderate amount of
neutral detergent for cleaning. Make sure there is no detergent residue on
your bike after cleaning. Please do not use non-neutral detergents to clean
your bike.
