PLEASE READ BEFORE USING YOUR BIKE
Even if you have already piloted a bike for years, it is important to be aware of the information contained in the User’s Manual and the Specific Manual PAB (Power-Assisted Bike). Read them carefully before riding your E-cartier or E-Griffin  :
→ These documents contain important information.
→ Understand the use, layout and maintenance of each electrical components of your new PAB.
Your safety and those of other is paramount :

• Never ride the bike without its battery ; the battery must be on the bike when you head out, otherwise there will be no lights on the bike.
• Never ride the bike without a saddle ; failure to comply with this rule could lead to accidents.
• Inspect your bike to make sure there are no loose screws or components or damages. In the event of a defect, visit your authorized Devinci retailer for a repair.
• A PAB is faster than a normal bike, risks of accident with other users on the road may occur.
• Ride under the conditions mentioned in the Owner’s Manual.
• For PAB’s that have a rear rack : the limit is 25 kg.

The electrical system requires careful handling :

• Do not clean the bike with a high-pressure jet. The system is sensitive to moisture. High-pressure water may seep into the connectors or other parts of the electrical system.
• Handle the battery carefully and pay attention to electric shocks. Failure to comply with this instruction could lead to abnormal heating or severe damage. In very rare cases, the consequences of an electrical shock could lead to a fire. In case of doubt, have the battery inspected by an authorized Devinci retailer.

Perform maintenance of the battery as mentioned in the Technical Manual.
NOTE → Failure to follow the instructions below may damage the battery and require you to purchase a new battery kit.

• Charge the bike with the Shimano charger only ;
• When the battery is not used for a long time, recharge to 100% (from 4 to 5 LEDs ont the charge indicator) ;
• Check the battery charge status regularly when not in use, recharge it to 100% if the load is less than 20% (1 indicatior light on the charge gauge). Check the load every month and have it fully charged every 6 months ;
• It is not recommended to keep the battery connected to the charger for a long period ;
• If the battery remains uncharged for a long time, it can lose a significant part of its effectiveness ;
• Store the battery in a well-ventilated and dry place. Pay attention to moisture ;
• In case of poor conditions, remove the battery from the bike and store it in a dry place until next use ;
• The battery can be stored at temperatures between -100C (140F) and 400C (1040F). For long service life, store it at a temperature close to 200 C (680F)  ;
• Monitor the storage temperature and try to avoid discrepancies. For example, do not leave the battery in your car during summer or leave the battery outdoors during a storm in winter ;
• It is recommended to store a battery which is not connected to the bike.

Follow the transport instructions for your PAB :

• Comply with local laws regarding transportation on the PAB ;
• A PAB is heavier than a normal bike, so you must be careful when transporting it. Check that the maximum load of the rack, roof or bike rack used is respected. Refer to the support manual used ;
• The Li-Ion battery of your PAB, due to its size, is considered a “Class 9 dangerous good” during transport. Applicable regulations could limit transport of a separate Li-Ion battery (when the battery is not on the bike) in some places. This regulation
  applies to several airlines and a number of road transport companies. On the other hand, if you are planning to move around with a full PAB (when the battery is on the bike), regulations are less strict. In case you use these transport methods, check the regulations that apply to your PAB with your transport company before booking.

Visit your authorized Devinci retailer for regular maintenance of your new PAB :

• Only your retailer has the know-how and the proper equipment to maintain your PAB.
• If you have any question about your PAB, please ask for assistance from your retailer.

ABOUT OUR MANUALS

Our user manuals meet ISO 4210-10TS, EN 15194 et EN 14766 standards.
Like many sports, cycling involves risk of injury and accidents, so you must be fully aware of these risks. Neither the manufacturer, the retailer, nor the person who sold you the bike, nor the people who maintain the trails are responsible for these risks. As you are solely responsible, it is, therefore, essential that you read and fully understand all the parts contained in this manual.
To enjoy maximum safety and enjoyment right from the get go, it is important that you are familiar with your new bike, its handling and its possibilities. It is your duty to maintain your bike well and reduce the risk of injury. Biking can be a dangerous activity, even under the best conditions. These are risks associated with using a bicycle that cannot be predicted or avoided. These are the sole responsibility of the cyclist.
