Introduction
E-bikes & speed E-bikes
Over the last 15 years the E-bike category has become enormously popular.
Today you will find all sorts of E-bikes. The current market of E-bikes with
pedal assistance consists of two main types of E-bikes with their own legal
framework:
· Regular E-bikes with a maximum pedal assisted speed up to 25 km/h, called
EPAC’s (Electrically Pedal Assisted Cycles).
· And Type-approved E-bikes with a maximum pedal assisted speed up to 45 km/h,
called speed pedelecs or speed E-bikes.
Klever Mobility offers E-bikes in both categories, 25 km/h EPAC’s as well 45
km/h speed E-bikes.
25 km/u. E-bikes, EPAC’s
Your new Klever 25 km/h E-bike has been equipped according to the Belgian &
Dutch Road Traffic Act. Hence, you can use it safely on public roads. This
E-bike has been equipped with a bright-sounding horn, a complete lighting
system with quality marks for the headlight and the tail light, reflectors and
with 2 sets of brakes independently actuating the front and rear wheel.
The additional electric motor support is limited to max. 25 km/h, and thus
complies with the statutory requirements for EPAC vehicles (Electrically Pedal
Assist Cycles). Therefore, this 25 km/h E-bike falls under the class of
regular bicycles. Meaning you do not need a liability insurance, nor a license
plate or a driving license. Moreover, it is not mandatory to wear a helmet,
even though we strongly recommend to wear one for your own safety.
In the legal section (chapters 10. & 11.), you will find more information on
the EC Declaration of Conformity and the legal aspects and usage of a 25 km/h
E-bike.

Introduction
Getting started & safety check of your Klever 25 km/h E-bike
Your E-bike has been subjected to an end-of-line-check on the assembly line of
our factory. Afterwards it has been checked at your local Klever dealer. Yet,
the transport and the use over time may have caused some changes. Therefore,
prior to your first ride, and occasionally thereafter, you should consider to
check following points. · Make yourself familiar with this 25 km/h E-bike and
the
functioning of its electric motor support, before the first ride in public
traffic. · Setting of the saddle and the handlebars. · Function of the brakes.
· Air pressure and the profile depth of the tyres. · Proper operation of the
lighting system. · Tightness of the bolts and nuts of the wheels. · Minimum
insertion of the seat post.
Caution! Do not start when you identify deficiencies in one of these points.
While riding a defective E-bike this can cause accidents and endanger your
life. If in doubt, contact your dealer or our technical hotline.
Caution! Through extreme weather and road conditions there is wear and tear in
everyday riding. Because of the dynamic loads the parts & components of your
E-bike experience different material fatigue and wear. Therefore, it is
recommended to inspect your E-bike on a regular basis and look for wear of
parts and changes in scratches or cracks, or the discolouring of parts. These
could indicate damage of the part. Needless to say, that damaged parts must be
repaired or replaced.
Please note! Following the inspection plan in chapter 16., you best bring your
E-bike to your Klever dealer for inspection, service, maintenance and repair.
Please note! Make sure to only use original Klever spare parts for
replacement. In case you are not sure whether to use certain spare parts,
always contact your official Klever dealer or otherwise call our technical
hotline.

Introduction
Behaviour in road traffic with a 25 km/h E-bike
With the help of the electric pedal assistance, you reach high speeds and you
accelerate substantially faster and easier than you are used to with a regular
bicycle. Therefore, you should intensively familiarise yourself with this 25
km/h E-bike on a traffic-calmed road or parking lot before going in public
traffic. During riding on the road, you should follow these guidelines:
· It is not mandatory to wear a bicycle helmet. Yet, we strongly recommend to
wear one for your own safety.
· Make yourself familiar with the traffic rules and stick to the rules.
· Be ready to brake at any time and expect misconduct of others.
· Ride defensively and be considerate to other road users. · Ride as much as
possible on bike lanes. · Always keep your E-bike in a perfect condition. ·
Use your E-bike only in accordance with its intended
purpose (see chapter 11. Intended use). · Do not use a mobile phone nor a
headset while riding. · Be sure to observe the maximum weight of cyclist +
E-bike
+ luggage (see chapter 14. Technical Data). · Have your E-bike checked
according to the recommended
service intervals (see chapter 16. Inspection plan) by authorised Klever
dealers.

Klever’s proprietary electric propulsion the BIACTRON system
You have purchased a 25 km/h E-bike that helps improve your day-to-day
mobility with its electric propulsion. Slopes can be better managed and wind
resistance can be better overcome. Klever’s electric BIACTRON system consists
of the following components (image 5.1): 1. Rechargeable battery 2. Motor 3.
Control unit / Display 4. Motor controller 5. Torque sensor 6. Pedal Sensor 7.

Motor controller (4) and rechargeable battery (1) can be in different
positions. Depending on the bike model.
Powerful system benefits
The brushless Klever BIACTRON rear wheel motor comes with 3 powerful
advantages:
1. Contrary to centre motor drive trains, with a motor around the bottom
bracket, the direct drive rear wheel motor is whisper-quiet.
2. The motor in the rear wheel is at the end of the drive train. For this
reason, the electric motor support has no negative impact on the shifting
performance and the wear of the drive train. By contrast, in E-bikes with a
centre motor, the joined forces and torque of both cyclist + motor go through
all components of the drive train. Consequently, shifting gears goes less
smoothly and the wear of drive train components such as chain, chainwheel,
sprockets and derailleurs goes twice as rapidly.
3. Last but not least, with the rear wheel motor the drive train has no
efficiency loss. Motor power and motor torque go instantly from the tyre to
the road surface without any drive train losses.
Once you turn on the system and you start pedalling, the motor will support
you as long as you continue to pedal, up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h.
The five levels of motor support of the BIACTRON system can be selected
according to the external circumstances (e.g., climbing uphill or riding with
headwind) or to your personal preferences. Please note that a higher level of
motor support consequently means a higher battery consumption. And reduces the
range of the system and battery.
In case you ride faster than 35 km/h (e.g., downhill), automatically the
recuperation of pedal energy (i.e., technical regeneration) will be activated.
In that case the motor operates as a generator and partly re-charges the
battery. The recuperation of pedal energy and battery capacity = REGENERATION
will be explained in section 5.3. Recuperation of battery capacity.

Klever’s E-bike drive train
5.1. Sensors & their function
This Klever 25 km/h E-bike is equipped with a torque sensor in the frame’s
rear dropout. In conjunction with the pedal sensor, this torque sensor
precisely monitors the cycling effort of the cyclist. The motor controller
then calculates the sensor values and manages precisely the amount of electric
support from the motor. Hence generating a perfect synergy between cyclist and
E-bike.
In addition, you can define the amount of motor support by yourself as well,
choosing between ascending levels of support (N, ECO, TOUR, MAX, TURBO). This
makes the system very efficient and economic, saving power consumption and
maximising range.
The additional speed sensor sets the power of the electric motor to zero once
you have reached a speed of 25 km/h or more. Above 25 km/h this E-bike
functions like a conventional bicycle, the only way to maintain the propulsion
of the vehicle is by pedalling solely.
The electric motor support only kicks in under the condition that you actively
pedal. Therefore, to get started from standstill you have to pedal.
Alternatively, while you start pedalling, you
can actuate the á (TURBO) button on the display in order to get the highest
support. Convenient when starting uphill. The á
(TURBO) button can also be used in case the E-bike has to be pushed while
walking alongside your bike.
Klever’s E-bike drive train
5.2 Levels of electric motor support
The BIACTRON-system offers five levels of electric motor support: · N · ECO ·
TOUR · MAX · TURBO Depending on topography, weather conditions and your
personal preferences, you can choose the motor support using (Up
arrow) and (Down arrow) button and the á (TURBO) button.
System level N ECO TOUR MAX
á (TURBO) (MAX) while
pedalling 25 km/u.
á (TURBO) (ECO) walking
with your E-bike 4 km/h.
Amount of support No support, electric system active Low support Medium support Strongest support Strongest support
Situation (recommended) Downhill Flat roads Slight hills / headwind Steep hills / fierce headwinds Steep ramps / violent gusts
Walk-assist, low support
Walking with your E-bike or pushing it uphill
Please note! In case you actuate the á (TURBO) button,
there are two scenarios:
1. You walk alongside the E-bike and/or you push it out of
your garage. While pushing the á (TURBO) button you
will activate the Walk-assist mode and you will trigger a moderate electric
motor support up to 4 km/h. In this way you can walk with your vehicle
comfortably and easily.
2. You are sitting on your E-bike. You are pedalling with for instance TOUR
support and you need the strongest
support momentarily. Push the á (TURBO) button
while pedalling and you will trigger the strongest support regardless your
speed (from 0 to 25 km/h).
16
www.klever-mobility.com
www.klever-mobility.com
17
Klever’s E-bike drive train
Please note! These 2 options will only function while
you keep the á (TURBO) button pushed. As soon as you release the á (TURBO)
button, the electric motor support
will stop. Except in the latter case of pedalling: in that
case after releasing the á (TURBO) button the level of
electric motor support will go back to the preselected level (TOUR as in the
example of scenario 2).
In order to save battery power, the support level will automatically be
limited to the TOUR level when the battery capacity drops to 10%. When the
battery capacity drops to 5% the support level will be limited to the ECO
level and in the case of a battery capacity of 2% or less the level will be N.
No pedal assistance, but the electric system remains active for lighting,
display, motor locking and alarm.
5.3 Recuperation of battery capacity: regeneration
The Klever BIACTRON system has a unique feature: the recovery of battery
capacity, also known as regeneration. Every time the drive system goes into
freewheel, coasting mode, the BIACTRON system will start braking the motor.
The motor friction is being converted into electricity that is being restored
into the battery. The freewheel mode starts once you do not pedal and roll out
to a traffic light or you coast down a hill or mountain without having to
pedal.
In addition, this Klever 25 km/h. E-bike has also a second way to recover
battery capacity. Both brake levers have a built-in brake sensor. When
actuating the brake levers, the regeneration function will be activated while
the motor support will be immediately switched off and the disc brake
callipers start to brake the wheels.
Section 5.4.3 (Menu for settings) explains how this function can be activated
and adjusted to your personal preferences. The regeneration function is a nice
addition to the consumption and range of your battery. The more and longer you
ride in a mountainous environment, the more you will benefit from this
function. However, the recovery of electricity is limited and depends to a
large extent on your riding behaviour, the environment and the chosen
regeneration settings.

with these two different á (TURBO)
power scenarios.
Please note! We recommend that you familiarise yourself
with the 2 different scenarios of á (TURBO) power
support prior to riding your E-bike on public roads. Try to practice these
scenarios on a parking lot or in a trafficcalmed street. Once you feel
comfortable using the two
á (TURBO) modes, you can start riding your E-bike on
public roads.

Setting > ASSIST
With the Assist submenu you adjust the support levels according to your own
personal preferences. You have two options for Assist settings:
3×5
There are 3 basic levels of ascending motor support: ECO, TOUR and MAX. Each
basic level can be set with 5 sublevels from 1 to 5 to meet your personal
preferences. The factory default settings for each basic level are 3. The
example of image 5.24 shows MAX with level 5, the strongest support and ECO
with level 1 the least support. Once the levels being set, while riding your
E-bike you choose with the () and () button the 3 basic levels ECO, TOUR en
MAX in 3 steps. You cannot change the settings for the sublevels. This must be
done in the Assist menu again.
15
With this option the motor support levels increase gradually in 15 steps from
1 to 15. From ECO in level 1 (least support) you go with the () and () button
in 15 steps linearly to MAX in level 5 (max support). This can be done during
cycling and there is no need to go back to the Assist menu.
Setting > REGEN
Regen means the regeneration and recuperation of electric energy back into the
battery pack (see section 5.3 Regeneration). There are two regen functions:
· Regeneration through braking: On/Off
· Regeneration while coasting and freewheeling: On/Off
And both braking as well as coasting regeneration have 5 levels of
regeneration:
· Automatic
· -1 (light)
· -2 (medium)
· -3 (strong)
· 0 (no regeneration).
The Regen factory default setting has regeneration turned off for both braking
as well as for coasting. In image 5.24 the settings for brake & coasting
regeneration were set to A, automatic regeneration.

5.5 Rechargeable battery
Your Klever E-bike has a high-quality lithium-ion battery with a big capacity. For technical details, please refer to chapter 14. Technical data. The status of the battery can always be checked through the LED light button, next to the charging socket of the battery (image 5.25). Press the button and the LED will light up either red, yellow or green. If no light, then the battery could be broken. Please have your local dealer check the battery.
Red Yellow Green
Capacity < 35%, battery should be charged Capacity 35 75%, battery can be charged Capacity > 75%, battery can be charged
The battery is automatically protected from overheating, overcharging and deep
discharging. It is very user-friendly. Nevertheless, you should consider some
points in order to maximise the life and performance of the battery.
· You can charge your lithium-ion battery at any time. Even if it is not
completely discharged. In practice, it is even better to charge it again after
short distances.
· Your battery has a lifetime of 700 charging cycles. One charging cycle means
a full charge of the battery (0 100% capacity). Partial charges can be done
more often. See chapter 9. FAQ’s and chapter 12. Warranty for more information
about the battery’s lifetime after 700 cycles.
· When the battery is not being used for more than 2 months, it should be
recharged as a low amount of self-discharge is common.
· Store the battery, if possible, in a dry, cool and dark place. The ideal
storage temperature is between 5 20 °C. Avoid exposing the battery to direct
sunlight. Temperatures over a longer period of more than 45 ° C or below – 10
° C can cause permanent damage.

· In winter, you should never start with a cold battery. The capacity of a
cold battery is significantly reduced and consequently will have a lower
range.
· A battery which is exposed a long time to frost, should be gently warmed in
the ambient temperature of a heated room, prior to starting.
· In case you need to park your E-bike outside for a long time during the cold
season, remove the battery and store it in a heated room. Since the battery is
very easy to remove.
· Also, the battery should be charged at moderate temperatures (15 25 °C).
Avoid charging in direct sunlight or near heaters, as well as charging outside
in winter at low temperature.
· Do not expose the battery to humidity, in order to prevent corrosion of the
charging socket and the plug contacts.
· Protect the battery against mechanical damage and don´t drop it. Mechanical
damage can cause overheating and the battery could catch fire.
· Do not use any other type of charging unit, except the dedicated Klever
chargers, since this may damage the battery and may cause overheating or fire.
· During charging, neither the charger nor the battery should be exposed to
humidity, in order to prevent short circuits and electric shocks.
· Should the battery be broken or become defective, seal the contacts with
tape and take it to your dealer or contact our technical hotline.
· Never under any circumstances open up the battery yourself. This is
dangerous and could damage the battery and it may even catch fire. The
warranty will be void if you do so!
Caution! Never place the battery on the heater and never try to heat it with a
hair dryer.
Caution! Charge the battery exclusively with the proprietary Klever charger
which comes with your E-bike (image 5.26).
Do not dispose of the battery into household waste. It must be disposed of
properly. It is best to take it to one of our Klever dealers, who can take
care of the disposal properly.

6. Bicycle parts of your Klever 25 km/h E-bike
This chapter explains function, maintenance, service and operation of the
conventional bicycle components which are not part of the electric drive
system. You will find additional information in the accompanying manuals of
the component suppliers.
6.1 Saddle & handlebar adjustment
Your Klever 25 km/h E-bike comes in two frame sizes (M = Medium and L =
Large). Fitting the frame size to your body can be done with adjustment of
saddle, stem and handlebar. Your dealer can do this on the spot. In case you
want to do the settings for yourself or for another cyclist, the adjustment is
briefly described below:
Caution! All work described requires the expertise of a bicycle mechanic and
appropriate tools. Use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts and never exceed
the maximum torque of the bolts. All necessary tooling and information on the
recommended torque can be found in chapter 14. Technical Data.
Adjustment of the saddle height
You will find the optimal saddle height if you touch the pedal with the heel
of your stretched leg, when sitting on the saddle. Without having to
overstretch your leg and hip. Alternatively, you bring the ball of your foot
to the centre of the pedal. Your knee should be slightly bent (image 6.1).
Loosen the seat clamp bolt with a 6 mm. Allen key (image 6.2) and move the
seat post with the saddle to its proper height. Align the saddle with the
frame using the saddle nose and the bottom bracket or the frame tube as
references. Fasten the bolt of the seat clamp again and check the correct
height of the saddle. Repeat the process if necessary until you find the
correct saddle height.
The distance between saddle and handlebar (by pushing the saddle forward or
backward on its rails) and the saddle angle are adjusted with the 2 saddle
clamping bolts of the seat post and a 5 mm. Allen key (image 6.2). Generally,
the saddle should be positioned horizontally.
40 www.klever-mobility.com
Bicycle parts of your E-bike
Please note! Pay attention to the recommended torque when tightening the
various bolts (see chapter 14. Technical Data).
Caution! The seat post may never be installed over the minimum insertion m ark
(image 6.3). Otherwise, the post could possibly break during riding, which
could lead to injuries.
Handlebar adjustment
The handlebar can be adjusted to your personal preferences, by changing the
angle of the handlebar stem and the height of the handlebar. Your Klever
dealer will be happy to set the handlebar to your liking. However, in case you
intend to adjust the handlebar by yourself, then proceed as follows:
· Loosen the big pivotal M8 bolt of the adjustable stem with a 6 mm. Allen key
and adjust the angle of the stem (image 6.4).
· With the angle adjustment you can move the handlebar towards the rider as
well as further away from the rider. Once you find the proper position of the
handlebar, tighten the M8 bolt with the correct torque.
· After adjusting the stem, you may have to adjust the position of the
handlebar too. Loosen the 2 M5 bolts on the bottom side of the head of the
stem (image 6.5). Tighten the 2 M5 bolts with the proper torque after
adjustment.
· Please note that the adjustment of the angle of the handlebar may have
altered the position of the brake levers, the display and the shifter too. If
necessary, you can adjust the position of these components as well. Loosen the
Allen key bolts and screws of the display, brake levers and shifter. Turn
display, brake levers and shifter into the correct position. And keep in mind
that your hands should be resting on the handlebar in a relaxed way and should
not be forced into an unnatural position (image 6.6). Finally tighten the
Allen key bolts with the correct torque.
· You may have to repeat these steps a couple of times in order to find the
most convenient position according to your liking and needs.
· The standard extension length of the Klever adjustable stem is 90 mm. For
those who wish to have a sportier riding position, a 110 mm. extension length
is available. Changing the stem is a job which needs to be left to an
authorised Klever dealer.
Caution! Please check whether the handlebar is correctly tightened. You should
not be able to twist the handlebar while putting full force on the grips.

6.2 The suspension front fork
The suspension front fork of your Klever 25 km/h E-bike is preset with factory
settings. However, it has three adjustment options with which you can set the
suspension to your own preference. You can have your Klever dealer do this,
but you can also adjust a number of settings yourself.
Setting sag (precompression)
Sag is the amount of travel the suspension compresses when you sit on your
E-bike. The compression depends on the combination of your weight (+ luggage)
and the amount of air pressure in the lefthand fork leg. The air pressure
defines how stiff or smooth the suspension responds to the unevenness of the
road surface. The rule of thumb says that 20% sag of the total travel of the
suspension is a proper way to start the setting (refer to the table below).
Weight kg. < 63 63 72 72 81 81 90 > 90
Max Psi
Air pressure Psi 100 120 120 135 135 150 150 170 > 170
< 265
Varying the air pressure in the lefthand fork leg, you can:
· Make the suspension more smooth = lower air pressure = more sag (e.g., 25%
of total suspension travel).
· Or make the suspension more firm and more direct = higher air pressure =
less sag (e.g., 15%).
· It is advised not to have more than 30% sag.
The setting of the air pressure of your front fork requires the use of a dedicated suspension pump for front forks and rear shocks. Never use a high- pressure pump or a foot pump. This could damage the internals of the fork leg. Setting of the sag can be best done at your dealers. The workshop has the proper tools.
Setting Rebound
With the rebound switch at the bottom of the righthand fork leg you decide how
smooth or how direct the fork after compression bounces back (image 6.7).
Going from the
Bicycle parts of your E-bike
neutral position in the centre, the switch has two clicks to the right in
order to make the rebound slower and more sluggish. And from the neutral
position the switch has two clicks to the left in order to make the rebound
more fast and smoother. This setting does not require any tooling and it can
be done any time by yourself.
Lock-out With the lock-out on top of the righthand fork leg you can lock the
suspension (image 6.8). In position A the suspension is fully functional. In
position B the suspension is fully locked. The Lock- out function is best used
on smooth and straight roads only. On badly paved roads it is always best to
use the full functional amount of suspension travel.
Maintenance Have your dealer check the front fork during the annual service
inspection. Some basic tips for your home maintenance: · Clean the smooth
surfaces of the stanchion tubes with a
cloth and a little water. · After cleaning spray some water-repellent oil on
the
stanchion tubes for lubrication of the bushings and for a plush suspension
function.
Caution! Never use a high-pressure cleaner or aggressive detergents for the
maintenance of the front fork. Pay attention to the maintenance instructions
in the manual of the fork supplier.
Image 6.7 A
B Image 6.8
6.3 Disc brakes
Your E-bike has disc brakes (image 6.9) with an excellent braking performance,
even under rainy weather and other bad weather conditions. They are low
maintenance and do not wear the rim. While actuating the brake lever, the oil
pressure is being transmitted through the hose into the brake calliper. This
makes the brake pads contact the disc rotor.
Both brake levers also have a brake sensor that immediately interrupts the
electric motor support when one or both levers are being actuated and that
also activates regeneration (see also section 5.4.3 Submenu ASSIST/REGEN).
Image 6.9
www.klever-mobility.com
43
Bicycle parts of your E-bike
Please note! New brake pads must be run-in in order to achieve their best
deceleration values. By braking at least 25 times from approximately 25 km/h
to complete standstill the brake pads will achieve their maximum brake power.
Squealing brakes Not properly run-in brakes do not reach their best
deceleration values and are prone to vibrations and loud squeal. The brake
pads and disc rotors must be regularly checked for wear. If rotors and brake
pads are worn, they will need to be replaced. In case the brake performance is
getting less and you are losing brake power or you can push the brake lever
through to the handlebar without any braking effect, the brake system must be
bled (purged). Bleeding and the replacement of worn brake pads and rotors is
better left to authorised Klever dealers.
Caution! In case the brake performance is decreasing or the system shows signs
of leakage, do not continue to ride your E-bike and go and see your local
Klever dealer immediately.
Caution! ! Oil or grease on the brake pads and disc rotors will reduce the
effect of the brake substantially. Prevent in any case, while cleaning the
bike and lubricating the chain that oil or other liquids can contaminate the
brake pads and disc rotors. Contaminated brake pads cannot be cleaned and need
to be replaced immediately. You can clean the disc with brake cleaner or warm
water and a little detergent if necessary.
Please note! Ride more cautiously under humid and rainy conditions because the
stopping distance could be longer.
More information on disc brakes, the replacement of brake pads and disc rotors
and the wear of these components, can be found in the dedicated manual of the
brake supplier.
6.4 Belt drive & 9 speed gearbox
Your Klever E-bike comes with a user-friendly and low maintenance drive train.
Instead of the traditional drive train with chain and derailleur gear, it is
equipped with a belt and a fully enclosed 9 speed gearbox. With this unique
drive train, you never have dirty pants again.
44
www.klever-mobility.com
Bicycle parts of your E-bike
6.4.1 Belt
The belt drive (image 6.10 & 6.11) is whisper-quiet while pedalling. In
addition, the belt drive is very low maintenance because it does not require
any grease or lubrication at all. In fact, grease and lubrication should be
avoided! Occasionally cleaning the belt with some water will suffice. Because
the belt does not need any grease it will hardly attract any dirt and debris
from the street.
Your local Klever dealer has the proper tools for the tensioning of the belt
and the checking of the belt wear. We strongly recommend that you leave all
work on the belt, including disassembly and assembly of the rear wheel, to
your Klever dealer.
Caution! Just like with a chain drive, keep your fingers away from the belt
drive. Once your fingers get pinched while the chainwheel is turning, this may
lead to serious accidents & injuries. The upper part of the belt is covered
with a belt guard, which has the same functionality like a chain guard. It
protects your pants and prevents them from getting stuck in between the belt
and the chain wheel.
Please note! If you do need to touch the belt, for instance in order to clean
it or to mend a puncture, remove the rear wheel, then first turn off the
BIACTRON-system and take the battery pack out of its docking station.
Image 6.10 Image 6.11
6.4.2 9 Speed gearbox
The Pinion gearbox (image 6.10 & 6.12) is fully enclosed and runs with low
maintenance in a whisper-quiet oil bath. The 9 speeds are offering a gear
range of nearly 570%. With the gear ratios of your E-bike and a pedalling
cadence of 60 revolutions per minute, you cycle as easy in the smallest gear
with ECO motor support 8 km/h. uphill as with the biggest gear with MAX motor
support 25 km/h. on a flat road. All intermediate gears from 1 (smallest) to 9
(biggest) are well balanced with ascending steps of 24%.
With the twist shifter integrated in the righthand grip you shift the gears
(image 6.13). You can shift multiple gears in one time. Even without pedalling
or when reverse pedalling. You can shift under load. However, in case you take
the load off the pedals you will have a smoother shift. More specifically in
the following cases:

· When shifting up from the 6th to 7th gear.
In general shifts will go directly and smoothly. You choose any of the 9 gears
with the 9 digits on the gear display on the side of the twist shifter
(indicating the gear you are in). The digit should be aligned with the >> icon
(image 6.13). In case the shifting does not function smoothly and the digit of
the chosen gear is not well aligned with the gear display, then you should
check the settings of the shifting cables:
· Check the cable terminals of the 2 shifting cables (image 6.14). There
should be no play between cable terminal and cable stop. At the same time the
cable terminal should not be tensioned.
· The twist shifter can have a little play in the direction of turning, not
more than 2 mm. back and forth.
· In case there is play on the shifting cable terminals, increase the cable
tension. Turn both adjustment screws a quarter turn counter clockwise (image
6.14). Check the cable tension and repeat in case necessary.
· In order to release the cable tension, you turn both adjustment screws a
quarter turn clockwise.
· Once you have reached the proper cable tension, then shift to the 9th gear
and check whether the digit 9 is properly aligned with the >> icon on the gear
display.
· You will notice that while turning adjustment screw 2 (image 6.14) a quarter
turn clockwise + adjustment screw 3 a quarter turn counter clockwise, the
twist shifter will rotate a bit into the direction of the icon for the 8th
gear.
· Vice versa, turning adjustment screw 2 a quarter turn counter clockwise +
adjustment screw 3 a quarter turn clockwise, the twist shifter will rotate a
bit into the direction of the digit 1. In this way you will be able to reach
the proper settings for smooth shifting.
Please note! The smooth functioning of the two shifting cables is essential
for the overall functioning of the gearbox. In case the shifting cables are
old, damaged or worn out, then they should be replaced. This is a service job
for a specialist. You better turn to your local Klever dealer.
Please note! The service interval for the oil change of your gearbox is 10,000
km. or 1 year. This too is a service job for a specialist with workshop
experience. Please ask your Klever dealer for the oil change.
Bicycle parts of your E-bike
More information on the belt drive and the gearbox can be found in the
dedicated manuals of the suppliers.
6.5 Lighting
The lighting of your 25 km/u E-bike corresponds with the Belgian & Dutch Road
Traffic Act; it has an official mark: indicated by the letter K. The lighting
is supplied by the battery power of the vehicle. The headlight is a LED with
high output and stand light function (image 6.15). The tail light is a bright
LED too with stand light function (image 6.16). In case of lighting failure
please verify that the light switch on the display is switched to “On”, check
all contacts at headlight and tail light. Check all cables for damage. If you
don’t find any errors, you should be looking for repair at an authorised
dealer immediately.
Please note! A non-functioning light is illegal and endangers your life on the
road. E-bikes without lights are easily overlooked in the dark. You run the
risk of serious accidents.
More information on the headlight and the taillight can be found in the
enclosed supplier’s manual.
6.6 Wheels & tyres
Wheels are one of the most stressed components of your vehicle. They contact
the road; they provide propulsion and they absorb the road bumps. Due to the
heavy use, they should be regularly checked. In case of radial or axial play
or broken spokes, the wheels should be repaired or trued by an authorised
Klever dealer. For the replacement of a tyre, the wheels must be removed from
your E-bike. Also, for the mending of a puncture this could be necessary.
Nevertheless, removal and installation of the rear wheel of a belt drive is a
highly specialist job, requiring experience and professional tools. Restoring
the correct tension of the belt, after installation of the rear wheel, in
particular is essential for the proper functioning of the belt drive. We
therefore recommend that you have the disassembly and assembly of the rear
wheel carried out exclusively by the workshop of your Klever dealer.

www.klever-mobility.com
Caution! In case you need to work on the drive train or the rear wheel of your
E-bike, you need to make absolutely sure that the BIACTRON-system is turned
off and the battery pack taken out of the docking station. If not turned off,
your fingers could get stuck between or pinched by chain, cassette and chain
ring. This could lead to serious injuries.
Removal of the front wheel · Loosen the thru-axle of the front wheel with a 6
mm. Allen
key. Turn the Allen key counter clockwise. Now take the thru-axle out (image
6.17). · Pull the front wheel out of the front fork. · Block the brake pads of
the disc brake by inserting the enclosed pad separator into the calliper
(image 6.18). · The assembly of the front wheel is done in reverse order. ·
While assembling, insert the disc brake rotor carefully between the two brake
pads. · Pay attention to the correct torque of the thru axle (max 13 Nm).
Caution! Disc brake rotors can be very hot after riding & braking. Let them
cool down prior to disassembly of the wheels.
Tyres The tyre size can be found on the sidewall. It is printed in millimetres
and inches: 27.5″x 2.20″ and 56 584 mm. The wheel has a diameter of 584 mm.
(27.5″) and a width of 56 mm. (2.20″).
Please note! The recommended tyre pressure is indicated on the sidewall of the
tyres (3.5 5.5 bar; 50 80 Psi
Please note! Regularly check the correct tyre pressure and pressurise your
tyres if necessary. The tyre uses an inner tube with Schrader valve. So, you
can check and inflate the tyre at any gas station.
Caution! Above or below, never exceed the recommended air pressure range. The
tyre and the tube can be damaged and this may lead to sudden loss of air with
risk of an accident. Too low tyre pressure causes higher rolling resistance.
As a consequence, this reduces the range of your battery.
Bicycle parts of your E-bike
Disassembly, repair & assembly of the tyres
Regularly check the tyres for cracks and for its thread pattern height. In
case you find that cracks or sharp objects have damaged the fabric of the tyre
or the thread pattern is no longer sufficient, replace the tyres. If in doubt,
ask your Klever dealer who can verify the tyre and replace it.
In the case of a flat tyre, do as follows:
· Always use plastic tyre levers.
· Remove the wheel as described above.
· Deflate the tyre and push a tyre lever underneath the tyre bead opposite of
the valve and lift the tyre over the rim flange.
· Push the second tyre lever underneath the tyre bead in a distance of 10 cm.
from the first one (image 6.19). If the tyre is still very tight around the
rim, then use a third tyre lever as well.
· Now, you can lift the tyre over the whole circumference of the rim with the
help of one of the levers. The inner tube can be removed.
· In case the leak cannot be found easily, hold the inflated inner tube into a
bucket of water and look for the rising air bubbles.
· Repair the tube according to the instructions on the repair kit. Or if
necessary, replace it. In case of replacement, make sure you buy the correct
size inner tube.
· Check the inside of the tyre for sharp objects that could have caused the
puncture and remove them. If the fabric of the tyre is damaged, replace the
tyre too. Start the mounting of the inner tube by inserting the valve into the
valve hole in the rim and inflate the tube with very little air pressure until
it is wrinkle-free.
· Now mount the inner tube without any creases underneath the tyre (image
6.20).
· Starting opposite of the valve, lift the tyre bead over the flange of the
rim and pull it deep into the rim. Lift the rest of the tyre by hand over the
rim’s shoulder. Do not use tyre levers, as this may damage the inner tube.
· Push the valve a little back into the tyre, so that the bead of the tyre is
correctly seated in the rim.
· Pull the valve back again and inflate the inner tube to the recommended tyre
pressure.

6.7 Luggage carrier & transport of luggage
Your Klever E-bike has a robust and durable aluminium luggage carrier (image
6.21). The carrier is compatible with the majority of all standard panniers,
and you can use it in conjunction with an extensive range of accessories.
Please note, the maximum load capacity of the luggage carrier is 25 kg.
Please note! When transporting luggage make sure that you do not exceed the
total maximum permitted weight of 150 kg., being the combination of E-bike +
cyclist + luggage.
Caution! The additional weight of luggage on your rear carrier changes the
handling of your E-bike and makes the required braking distance longer as
well.
Image 6.21
6.8 Anti-theft protection
This Klever E-bike comes with a motor lock and immobiliser combined with an
acoustic alarm system. The battery can only be removed from its docking
station by unlocking the battery lock with the key (see section 5.5.3 Removal
and mounting of the battery pack). We recommend to also use a robust and high-
quality chain lock in order to be able to lock the vehicle to solid fixtures.

6.9 Accessories
Useful accessories can enhance the functionality and comfort of your E-bike
and they can increase your riding pleasure too. These accessories are
available at your Klever dealer.
Please note! Accessories must be compatible with your Klever 25 km/h E-bike.
Incompatible accessories may influence and alter the riding characteristics of
your bike and can lead to accidents. Best ask your dealer for information and
advice.
Bicycle parts of your E-bike
6.10 Child seat
In Belgium and the Netherlands, you may carry children up to the age of 8
years only with a decent back support. Therefore, on your E-bike carry
children only with a child seat. You should install child seats with an
appropriate DIN / GS approval only. Read and adhere to the instruction manuals
of the seat manufacturer. If traveling in other countries, check the local
rules and regulations. For instance, in Germany the rules are slightly
different from those in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Caution! In case of parking your Klever 25 km/h E-bike, never leave your child
in the child seat. Take the child out of the seat.
Please note! Make your child wear an appropriate helmet. And always keep in
mind that a child seat with a child will greatly affect the handling of the
E-bike. The bike tends to lurch. Therefore, you should practice starting and
riding it before taking part in road traffic.
Please note! Do not exceed the maximum permitted weight of E-bike, cyclist and
cyclist of 150 kg.

6.11 Bicycle trailer
Nowadays there is a wide variety of bicycle trailers with which you can safely
transport children and luggage towed behind your Klever 25 km/h E-bike. Prior
to purchasing one, make sure that the trailer meets the requirements of the
Road Traffic Act. That it is not wider than 1 meter. That it can be safely
connected to the E-bike and that the maximum payload of the bicycle trailer
must not be exceeded under any circumstances. Please take the time to confer
with your Klever dealer and carefully read through the operating manual and
safety instructions of the bicycle trailer before use! Finally make sure to
practice riding with the trailer on a parking lot before participating in road
traffic. In case you will ride your Y Muse 25 with a bicycle trailer in other
countries, please check the local rules and regulations.
Caution! The additional load of the bicycle trailer greatly affects the
handling of your E-bike. It will also extend the braking distance of your
E-bike and it will decrease the range of your battery pack.

E-Bike Care
7. Wear, maintenance & inspections
Wear
Your Klever E-bike consists of many components, which are all subject to
normal wear due to their function. Therefore, all following components should
be regularly checked and if necessary, replaced immediately:
1. Disc brake rotors & pads are put under stress during each braking
operation and wear as a consequence. Therefore, they must be periodically
inspected and if necessary, be replaced immediately.
2. Tyres & inner tubes are subject to function-related wear and should be
checked regularly. The air pressure and the depth of the tread profile must be
checked regularly too. The air pressure should always be at the manufacturer’s
recommended operating pressure, which is printed on the tyre sidewall. In case
the tread profile of the tyre is no longer deep enough or the tyre has cracked
sidewalls, it should be replaced.
3. Rims & spokes are stressed while braking or riding over obstacles.
Regularly check the concentricity of the wheel and the spoke tension. If the
wheel has radial or axial play, this should be readjusted. In the event of
spoke breakage, the broken spoke should be immediately replaced and the wheel
should be re-trued.
4. Chain, sprockets, chain wheels & derailleur pulley wheels wear out
normally. Regular cleaning and lubrication of these components will extend
their service life substantially. They should, however, in case they are worn
be replaced.
5. Belt, rear sprocket, front belt wheel are very robust and wear less than
the components of derailleur drive trains. Unlike derailleur drive trains,
belt drive trains should not be lubricated. Just clean these components every
now and then with some water. During the annual inspection your dealer should
check the tension of the belt and the wear of the individual components.
6. Shifting cables & brake hoses must be maintained regularly and replaced if
necessary. Especially in case your E-bike is often parked outdoor and exposed
to the weather.
54
www.klever-mobility.com
7. Hydraulic oils & lubricants change over time and lose their effectiveness.
Therefore, all lubrication points are to be regularly cleaned and re-greased
in order to minimise the wear.
Maintenance Regular maintenance and care guarantee a longer lifespan of your
E-bike. You should regularly carry out simple cleaning and care yourself. And
let your dealer do the necessary inspections. Never clean the vehicle with a
high-pressure cleaner or a steam cleaner, as water may enter bearings, motor
and electronic contacts. Water could damage these parts due to corrosion and
short circuits. Clean your bike with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Make
sure that no electrical contact gets wet. The contacts can be maintained and
conserved from time to time with a little care oil. Contact spray is too
aggressive and doesn’t preserve. All parts liable to corrosion should be
maintained and preserved appropriately.
Caution! During cleaning and lubrication, avoid contact with oil and fat on
the brake pads and disc brake rotors. The stopping power might deteriorate and
could represent a serious risk.
Please note! Always ensure that the tyres are inflated within the
manufacturer’s recommended operating pressure, which can be found on the
tyre’s sidewall. Never go over or under the recommended range of tyre
pressure.
The entire electrical system of your E-bike, such as the motor, the sensors,
the wiring harness and the battery are maintenance-free. In case you meet
unexpected problems with the system, contact our technical hotline (see
chapter 17. Imprint) or consult an authorised Klever dealer.
Caution! Do not open the motor, the display or the battery. It is dangerous
and this will immediately void the warranty.
E-Bike Care

55
E-Bike Care
Inspections In order to keep your E-bike always roadworthy and updated to the
latest technical status, it should be inspected regularly. We recommend after
500 1,000 km. or within 1 year after purchase to carry out the first
inspection. Any further inspections should be carried out after every 2 to
3,000 km. or at least once a year.
Inspections should be executed by authorised Klever dealers.
Caution! In case inspections are not carried out or executed unprofessionally,
this may significantly impair the functions of your E-bike or may even lead to
accidents.
Please note! With regards to spare parts: · Klever 25 km/h E-bikes: make sure
to only use original
Klever spare parts for replacement and upgrades. · Klever 45 km/h Speed
E-bikes. Since these are Type-
approval vehicles, make absolutely sure to only use original Klever Type-
approved spare parts for replacement. The same applies to upgrades (e.g.,
winter tyres or suspension seat post). Only select components from the Klever
Type-approval list.
In general: in case you are not sure which spare parts to use, always contact
your official Klever dealer or otherwise call our technical hotline.
56
www.klever-mobility.com
8. Storage & transport of your Klever E-bike
Storage Your E-bike should always be stored in a dry, covered place in order
to minimise the effects of weather and avoid direct sunlight. In case you do
not ride your Klever E-bike in wintertime, you should consider following: ·
Store your E-bike well cleaned and lubricated in a dry place and
cover it with a tarp. Winter storage in a garage is not ideal. Salt from salt
spraying may enter your garage with your car. And this could cause corrosion
of your E-bike. · Protect the electrical contacts with a little care oil. ·
The battery should be stored separately, ideally at a
temperature of 10 to 15 °C in a dry place. Fully charge the battery before the
first ride in the spring.
· And after storage for more than two months, it is advised to recharge the
battery (see section 5.5.1 Charging of the battery).
Transport
You can transport your E-bike by car or train. For transport by car, we
recommend to use a tow bar bike rack, which is specifically designed for the
transport of E-bikes and for heavier loads. Ask your Klever dealer for more
specific recommendations.
Do not transport your E-bike on a roof rack. The heavier weight and the
special frame tubes will make stable fixing of your E-bike on a roof rack
impossible. In addition, the weight of the vehicle is usually higher than the
maximum weight limit of the roof rack.
Prior to transporting your vehicle with a tow bar rack, you should remove the
battery pack as well as other non-fixed accessories such as air pump and
panniers. Additional protection should be given to electrical contacts of the
battery connector on the frame. This can be done with a plastic bag to protect
those parts from moisture and rain. Air flow may cause the moisture to enter
into the electric system.
In case your car is big enough, then it is best to transport your E-bike
inside the car.
Transportation of your E-bike by air will be nearly impossible. Unless you
want to transport your E-bike without battery. For airlines these batteries
are classified as IATA Dangerous Goods and consequently will not be
transported. To be sure, ask your airline under which conditions the transport
of the battery may be allowed. However, this could be quite expensive. For
more information on the transport of the battery, please check section 5.5.4.

9. FAQ’s
How far can I travel with one battery charge? This depends on the outside
temperature, the topography of the terrain, the technical condition and total
weight of the E-bike. Tyres with low air pressure or high weight or riding in
hilly terrain, reduce the range (see section 5.5.2. Battery range).
Battery 570 Wh 850 Wh
Range 40 125 km. 75 165 km.
This is a guesstimated indication of the range you may expect under similar
conditions: · Outside temperature 12 30°C. · Flat and slightly hilly
terrain. · Total system weight between 95 105 kg. (cyclist’s weight
70 80). · Little to no wind.
Must the battery be empty before I can charge it?
No, you can charge the battery at any time, even if it is only partially
discharged.
How can I protect my Klever E-bike from theft?
Your E-bike comes with starter and motor immobiliser. This electronic lock is
combined with an acoustic alarm system, to be activated with the E-KEY and
Lock-button on the display. The battery can only be removed from the frame by
unlocking the battery lock with the key. We recommend to also use a high
quality, robust chain lock in order to lock your E-bike to the solid fixtures.
Can I ride my E-bike in wintertime?
In general, there is no problem whatsoever to ride your E-bike at low
temperatures. Store your battery in a warm place before you start your
journey. Keep In mind that in wintertime at low outdoor temperatures the range
may decrease by 30%.
Can I transport my E-bike via air?
Because E-bike battery packs are being classified as IATA Dangerous Goods for
transport via air, many airlines refuse to transport the battery. In
individual cases you may want to ask your airline, under which conditions and
costs transport may be possible.
Do I need a liability insurance and do I need to wear a helmet?
No, you do not need an insurance. Because the electric support will be stopped
at 25 km/h, this Klever 25 km/h E-bike is classified as an EPAC, an Electric
Pedal Assisted Cycle. Therefore, it is considered as a regular bicycle and
requires neither insurance nor wearing a helmet. However, we do recommend that
you use a helmet for your own safety.
What to do with a defective battery pack?
Defective batteries do not belong in household waste and must be disposed of
properly. It is best to take it to an authorised Klever dealer.
How many times can I charge my battery?
We guarantee that the battery after 700 full charge cycles or two years after
the date of purchase still has 60% of its original capacity. Of course, you
can charge the battery more often or use longer than two years. Because of the
natural aging process over time the battery loses more and more capacity
though. Moreover, in case you register your Klever battery on our website (www
.klever-mobility.com), Klever extends the warranty term for the battery from 2
to 3 years. Within this term we guarantee that your battery still has 50% of
its original capacity after 500 charging cycles. See chapter 12. Warranty too.
Does the warranty void, in case I do not stick to the recommended time
intervals for inspections?
No, the warranty does not void. We recommend, however, for the vehicle’s
service life and for your own safety to carry out all recommended inspections.
Can I charge the battery with another charger?
No, the battery may only be charged with the dedicated, supplied Klever
charger or other Klever chargers.

These torque indications always refer to the upper limit of the bolt’s resilience. Use a proper torque wrench when tightening or adjusting a bolt. This will prevent the overcharging and failure of the bolt. Always adjust the torque key to a little more than 75% of the value stated by the manufacturer and tighten the bolt. Check the firm fit. In case the clamping connection is not strong enough, increase the value gradually in little steps. If necessary, adjust the maximum value (never exceed it) and loosen the bolt by half a revolution before finally tightening it.
