SAFETY INFORMATION

Intended Use
Electric bikes, also known as “E-Bikes” are bicycles equipped with an electric pedal assist drive system. An E-Bike IS NOT a moped or motorcycle.

The drive-assist system consists of a drive unit, a battery, a computer control, and various electronic components (harness wires, sensors, and switches). This model bike does share components common with pedal-only bikes.

There are many different drive-assist systems for differing uses and bike types. Likewise there are various drive-assist system manufacturers (Shimano, BOSCH, Yamaha, etc.)

It is important to know that when the drive-assist system is turned ON, the drive unit engages to provide power only while you are pedaling. The amount of power provided by the drive unit depends on your pedaling force and the assistance mode/level you set with the handlebar control unit. At anytime, if you stop pedaling, the drive-assist will dis-engage. In all modes/levels, the drive-assist system power reduces progressively anicuts off as the bike reaches a the maximum allowable speed. The drive-assist re-engages when speed drops below the maximum allowable speed as long as the pedals are turning.

Whenever the drive-assist system is turned OFF, you can pedal the bike normally. The drive system will not engage.

WARNING

UNDERSTAND YOUR BIKE , DRIVE-ASSIST SYSTEM AND THE INTENDED USE OF BOTH. USING YOUR BIKE THE WRONG WAY IS DANGEROUS

Please read your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual for more information about Intended Use and Conditions 1-5.

DRIVE SYSTEM : You must follow the manufacturer’s instruction for intended use or limitation. Please consult the manufacturer’s owner’s manuals and instructions

Please consult the MODEL APPENDIX section of this supplement for more information

Operation

WARNING

ALWAYS WEAR AN APPROVED BICYCLE HELMET AND ALL OTHER PROTECTIVE GEAR (e.g. GLOVES, PADS, AND CYCLING SHOES).

MPORTANCE OF PRACTICE & RIDER TRAINING

• Before you ride this bike, practice riding in a safe area free from hazards. Take time to learn to bike’s controls and performance. Practice the controls and gain the experience necessary to avoid the many hazards you will encounter while riding

DO NOT RIDE “HANDS-OFF – Keep you hands on the handlebars when riding the bike. If you remove your hands from the handlebar while riding, you can lose control of the bicycle and crash.

CHANGING THE ASSISTANCE LEVEL WHILE
RIDING – Changing the drive-assistance level while riding will increase or decrease the acceleration of the bike. You should anticipate this change in speed and react appropriately depending on the riding conditions. (such as on slippery trails, tight turns, or unstable or uneven surfaces). Set assistance level to “ECO” (lowest assist) or “OFF” before descending technical trails, (e.g. tight downhill switchbacks).

WHEN NOT RIDING – TURN THE DRIVE SYSTEM OFF and REMOVE THE BATTERY , KEY, AND CONTROL UNIT AND STORE ALL IN A SECURE AREA TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED USE. Remove the battery and key when the bike is parked for long periods.

DO NOT RIDE THE E-BIKE WITHOUT THE BATTERY. MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED BEFORE EVERY RIDE. This will help ensure adequate battery power for necessary lighting and the drive system DO NOT REMOVE ANY LIGHTING OR REFLECTORS AND DO NOT RIDE IF THEY DO NOT WORK.

DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE OR COME INTO CONTACT WITH E-BIKE OR ITS PARTS.

ONLY TURN THE DRIVE SYSTEM ON WHEN YOU ARE SEATED WITH YOUR HANDS ON THE HANDLEBAR READY TO RIDE.

ACCIDENTAL ACTIVATION – Always remove battery from the bike before working on the bicycle or if you transport the bike by car or plane. Accidental activation of the bicycle drive system can result in serious injury.

The drive system will not function without the computer unit attached to the base properly. If the computer disconnects from the base during operation, the drive system will shut off. If this happens you will have to stop the bike, turn the system off , re-attach the computer to the base, and then turn the system back on to resume. Remove the computer when not operating the bike to prevent theft or unauthorized use.

YOUR INSURANCE POLICIES – Your insurance policies (e.g. liability, property and injury) may not provide coverage for accidents involving the use of this bicycle. To determine if coverage is provided you should contact your insurance company or agent. Also, make sure your speed e-bike is insured and registered according to the local laws

RIDE SENSIBLY, RIDE SAFELY AROUND OTHERS

• The application of power by means of the electric motor assist means that riders can reach high speed. Riding faster increases the risks of serious accidents.

Watch out for other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and animals where you ride. Always operate under control and at a safe speed. Others may not be aware of you. It is your responsibility to anticipate and react to avoid accidents.

E-BIKES ARE HEAVIER THAN ORDINARY BIKES

• Always park the bike in a suitable safe area away from children, cars or animals that may come into contact with it. Park the bike so that it cannot fall over possibly resulting in injuries.

DO NOT RIDE INTO OR ATTEMPT TO RIDE THROUGH WATER OR SUB-MERGE ANY PART OF THE BIKE. If you ride through water you can lose control of the bike or the drive- assist system can become disabled or damage.

Maintenance

See also, MAINTENANCE in this supplement.

WARMIMG

E-Bikes need more maintenance that you might be aware. You can not ignore maintenance .

Here are some critical maintenance items that can require frequent attention:

• Tire Pressure/tread condition – check it often!
• Brake pads and braking – check and replace pads frequently.
• Chain /belt drive – clean and inspect often. Replace it when worn out.
• Fasteners can loosen over time. Have fasteners and mounted accessories checked often by a professional bike mechanic.

YOU CAN BE YOU SERIOUSLY INJURED, PARALYZED OR KILLED IF YOU IGNORE WARNINGS.

MAINTENANCE

The following table lists only supplemental maintenance items. Please consult your Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual for more information on basic bikeaintenance. Consult with your Authorized Cannondale Dealer to create a complete maintenance program for your riding style, components, and conditions of use. Follow the maintenance recommendations given by the component manufacturer’s for the various parts of your bike.

CHECK THE FOLLOWING BEFORE EACH RIDE:

• Make sure the battery is fully charged and locked securely in position on the bicycle.
• Check tire pressure and wheel condition. Make sure wheel quick releases are firmly closed.
• Check the drive chain condition. Make sure it is clean and well-lubricated. Chain wear is greater compared with pedal only bikes. This requires frequent inspection and replacement.
• Check the bicycle front and rear lighting to make sure it works properly.
• Check the bicycle brakes, make sure they are working well. Brake system pad and disc wear is greater compared with pedal only bikes. This requires frequent inspection and replacement.
• Inspect condition of electrical cables (i.e. Kinks free, no signs of abrasive wear)
• Test the drive-assist system, make sure the drive system functions normally.
• If your E-Bike model was equipped a lighting system, brake lights, headlights, and number plate illumination, make sure these lights are each functioning normally. Make sure the number plate is clean and readable

IF YOU FIND ANY DAMAGE, DO NOT RIDE THE BIKE, CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED CANNONDALE DEALER.

TO BE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED CANNONDALE DEALER:
Recommended after the first 150 km, bring your bike to your Authorized Cannondale Dealer for an initial check-up. It should include checks of the drive-assist system, drive chain condition, proper shifting, accessories, wheels and tire condition, brakes, etc. This visit will help you establish a schedule for repeated visits appropriate for how and where you ride.

Every 1000 km, bring your bike in to your Authorized Cannondale Dealer for a regular detailed inspection, adjustment, and replacement of wear items across the entire bike. Electrically powered-assist cycle (electric bikes) can wear out wheels, tires, drive chain, brakes, more quickly.

WARNING

ANY PART OF A POORLY MAINTAINED BIKE CAN BREAK OR MALFUNCTION LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT WHERE YOU CAN BE KILLED, SEVERELY INJURED OR PARALYZED.

Please ask your Authorized Cannondale Dealer to help you develop a complete maintenance program, a program which includes a list of the parts on your bike for YOU to check regularly. Frequent checks are necessary to identify the problems that can lead to an accident.

Drive-Assist System

NOTICE
Drive-assist system components must only be serviced at an authorized service center. This will ensure the quality and safety of the drive-assist system

Never attempt to open, remove drive system parts from the frame, or work on them yourself. Other components of the electric bicycle drive (e.g. drive chain, front chain ring, rear cassette, rear derailleur, crank arm) must be serviced by an Authorized Cannondale Dealer.

Replacement parts must be identical to the original Cannondale specification for the bike. See MODELS APPENDIX in this supplement. Failure to replace components with original specification can result in serious overload or other damage to the drive unit.

Unauthorized opening or service of the drive unit will void the warranty.

Cleaning
When cleaning your bike, use a damp sponge or a soft brush with only a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the sponge often. Do not spray water directly on controls or drive system components.

NOTICE
Do not use a pressure washer or dry with compressed air. This will force contaminants into sealed areas, electrical connections/components promoting corrosion, immediately damaging, or result in accelerated wear

WARNING

KEEP WATER AWAY FROM THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

MAKE SURE THE BIKE IS SECURED UPRIGHT AND CAN NOT FALL OVER ACCIDENTALLY WHILE YOU ARE CLEANING IT

Don’t rely on the kickstand. Use a sturdy portable bicycle wheel stand to hold the bike upright.

Keys
Please Note : After lots of rides and washing, the battery lock can become dry and difficult to use.

To maintain, whenever you lubricate your bike chain, place a few drops of chain oil on the key insert the key and operate the lock, then remove and wipe the key clean.
