EOVOLT Confort Electrically Assisted Bike Instruction Manual

Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of your EOVOLT Confort Electrically Assisted Bike (EAB). This bike is designed for everyday use in both town and country. It allows you to move around in traffic and green areas in complete safety. Your bike is equipped with an electric pedal assistance system that will make all your journeys easier.
This manual is intended to provide you with the information you need to use, adjust and maintain your bicycle correctly in order to maximise its lifetime. Therefore, please read it carefully before using your bicycle for the first time and keep it for the life of your bicycle. We recommend that you always have your bicycle inspected, serviced and repaired by an authorised technician.
This EOVOLT electric bicycle for adults has been designed according to the requirements of the European standards: EN 14764 and EN 15194.

Warnings / Precautions

Choose a safe place away from traffic to familiarise yourself with your new bike. The assistance can be triggered with more force than you might imagine.
We strongly advise you to wear protective gear before getting on the bike, as wearing a helmet is strongly recommended and mandatory for children under 12 years of age. Wear a helmet that complies with CE standards and is correctly adjusted.

Furthermore, traffic on public roads requires compliance with the highway code. According to the highway code, it is compulsory to carry lighting and signalling devices and a warning device on your bicycle.
Since 1 September 2008, all drivers and passengers on bicycles must wear a reflective waistcoat when riding outside built-up areas at night, or during the day when visibility is poor.
Lion Distribution SAS declines all responsibility if the bicycle driver does not comply with the regulations in force.
This bike is intended for use in urban areas. It is not intended to be used on land in very poor condition. It is not designed for off-road use. Failure to heed these warnings may result in a fall or accident and may prematurely and irreversibly damage the condition of your electric bicycle.
If the bike is used by a child, parents must supervise and ensure that the user is able to use the bike safely.
In the event of unusual weather conditions (rain, cold, night…), be particularly vigilant and adapt your speed and reactions accordingly.
When transporting your bicycle outside your vehicle (bicycle rack, roof rack, etc.), it is advisable to remove the battery and store it in a temperate place.

For safety reasons, it is strongly recommended that you start pedalling with level 0 or 1 pedal assistance when you are stationary and then gradually increase the pedal assistance.
Finally, it is strongly recommended that you do not push your EAB while walking alongside when the pedalling assistance is activated.

ATTENTION !
Like any mechanical component, a bicycle is subject to high stress and wear. Different materials and components canreact differently to wear or fatigue.

If the service life of a component has been exceeded, it may break off in one go, possibly causing injury to the cyclist. Cracks, scratches and discoloration in areas of high stress indicate that the component has exceeded its life and should be replaced. In case of doubt, do not hesitate to meet with a cycling professional, he or she will give you the
best advice following the diagnosis of your bike.

Settings
Although your EOVOLT bike has been meticulously prepared in our workshops, it is important that you make sure of the following points before use.
Lighting
Your EAB is equipped with high quality LED front lighting. It is switched on and off via the on-board computer. See p 7/9.
Your EAB is equipped with rear lighting. It is switched on and off by means of the on/off button on the lamp itself.
Doorbell
A bell is installed on your handlebars. It will allow you to be heard at 50 m.
Tyres
Periodically check the tyre pressure. Driving with underinflated or overinflated tyres may impair performance, cause premature wear, lead to rim damage, reduce range or increase the risk of an accident.
If severe wear or a notch is visible on one of the tyres, replace it before using the bicycle.
The recommended maximum and minimum tyre pressure is indicated on the sidewalls of your tyres.
Brakes
Your EOVOLT is equipped with 160mm diameter disc brakes. The right handle activates your rear brake, while the left handle activates the front brake.
It is recommended that you distribute your braking force on average 60/40 between the front and rear.
You should be able to obtain maximum braking power without the brake levers touching the grips.
If this is not the case, your brakes need to be adjusted. If this is the case, contact a specialist dealer to make sure your brakes are correctly adjusted.

Warning: In case of rain, braking distances are extended.

Wheel and motor
When starting the engine, you will hear a slight noise. This noise is normal because the engine starts anassists the pedalling. It may become louder when the engine is fully loaded.
After the first month of use, it is advisable to tighten your spokes to limit the impact of the enginepropulsion on your rear wheel.
Suspended fork
On the right side of the fork you will find an adjustment wheel so that you can either lock the suspension or refine its flexibility.

Battery
The lithium battery is the heart and engine of your EOVOLT. Proper maintenance will help you maximize its life span.
Here are a few tips on how to take care of your EOVOLT battery. Like all batteries, our batteries age.
This means that over time, the battery life decreases and is no longer the same as that of a new battery.
Remember to recharge your battery regularly even if you don’t use it (at least once a month). Charging your electric bicycle battery regularly prevents deep discharge. This means that one or more cells, if they are not recharged for too long, will no longer function and may cause you to lose autonomy or even prevent your battery from working.
Store your battery in a dry, cool place that is not conducive to wide temperature variations.
When charging your battery, first connect your charger to your wall socket before attaching it to your battery. Why should you do this? When connecting your charger to your wall socket, an electric arc may form. While chargers are designed to absorb this electric arc without damaging the charger, the battery is not designed to do so.
The second important element is the charge level of your battery when it is stored. During a long period of storage without use, the ideal charge level for your battery is 40% in order to limit the self-discharge phenomenon of the battery. As an example, a battery stored at a 100% charge level may, depending on the temperature, be 20% more self-discharged than a battery stored at a 40% charge level.
Never forget your battery on the EAB when not in use because the controller (which is the brain of the electric bicycle) always consumes a little energy, thus discharging the battery.
The more you use your EOVOLT bike, the more regularly the battery will need to be recharged and the longer it will last compared to an inactive battery.
Attention! Never leave the battery connected to the charger after a full charge, as this will cause unnecessary fatigue.

Précautions

• Check that the battery is correctly attached to the EAB.
• Make sure that the charging cap is correctly fitted on the battery.
• Do not leave your battery exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not store the battery in the sun for long periods.
• Handle your battery with care. Dropping the battery may cause fluid leakage or inflammation of the battery.
