GENERAL ABOUT YOUR CARGO BIKE

• All our electric bicycles have been equipped with an electric motor to help the cyclist when the resistance increases,
  e. g. in headwind or uphill. The auxiliary force is only active when you pedal. As long as your feet pedal, you get electric help. The auxiliary motor closes automat-ically when you stop pedaling.

• According to EU law, the maximum speed for electric motor assistance is 25 km/h and a motor power of a maximum of 250 watts. At higher speeds, the auxiliary motor stops driving.

• The length of the mileage depends on the driver’s weight, temperature, the road surface, hills, air pressure in the tires, the degree of battery charge, weight and load in the box and how often you stop and start. Always take this into account before you go.

• ery works better when it is not to cold. The capacity decreases by about 1/3 if the temperature drops below 0°C. As a result, the mileage is shorter than usual. The battery works best at an ambient temperature of about 20°C.

• The bike can be used in rain and snow. However, be aware that if water enters the engine, the electrical system will be damaged and the internal circuit de-stroyed.

• Be careful not to connect any electrical parts with wet hands as it may cause short circuits.

• The person using the bicycle must have knowledge of how it is used.

• Turn off the power supply if a fault occurs or if the electrical system does not work properly.

• Never overload the bicycle as the motor and battery can be damaged.

    NOTE! If your bike is to stand still for a long time, the parking brake should not be activated as it reduces the oil pressure in the brake hoses and they can decrease in power.

QUALITY MARKINGS

SGS
SGS is a world-leading organization for inspections, verifications, tests and certifications.

The product complies with basic requirements for, for example, health, safety, function, environment
The prescribed control procedure has been followed

In general, it is important to keep in mind the following:

• As a road user, you are obliged to know and follow current traffic rules.
•  We recommend that you always wear a helmet when cycling. If you are under 15 years of age and travel on a Cargobike, you must by law use a bicycle helmet.
• Never leave children unattended in your box bike.
• Adjust the speed according to prevailing conditions.

WASTE DISPOSAL
Electrical waste
Consumed electrical and electronic products, including all types of batteries, must be returned to the designated collection point for recycling. (According to Directives 2012/19 / EU and 2006/66 / EC).
Cargobike of Sweden are registered and approved by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

These maintenance instructions are also a prerequisite for the Seller’s warranty terms to apply.
Neglected maintenance can be a traffic hazard and means that the bicycle’s construction is weakened or ages prematurely. If, on the other hand, you take good care of your bike, it will be a joy for many years.

• Get in the habit of regularly checking and tightening all screws, spokes, nuts, pedals, and crank arms. Any backlash in the wheel, crank, steering bearings and between the box and frame (center bolt) must be rectified by a bicycle shop immediately.

• Also make sure to have well-inflated tires as it provides lower friction and reduces the risk of punctures and protects the rims. Check side of the tire for recommended pressure.

• If the spokes feel loose or if the wheels make a ticking sound, it is time to service the bike for spoke tension and/or balance the rim. This should always be done within a few weeks after you start using your new bike.

• Bicycles should be stored in a dry space. If this is not possible, a rain cover is recommended. In event of paint damage to the frame or front box, it should be maintained and painted to prevent rust.

• A clean bike is easier to maintain. In addition, the components on your bike work better and last longer if they are not covered with dirt, oil, road salt, mud, etc. Therefore, wash the bike regularly. After cleaning, it’s very important to lubricate all moving parts (such as chains, gears, wires, pedals). Clean and lubricate the chain when needed.

• The condition of the chain and drive is
  of great importance for the service life of the driveline. Therefore, remember to regularly lubricate each link on the chain with chain oil – a drop on each link is a good rule of thumb. Also note that chains and gears are wear components that need to be replaced from time to time.

• During the winter, screw heads that can collect dirt, and water also needs regular lubrication. Remember that all steel can rust and wood can swell. Once again, we would like to remind you that winter storage should take place in a dry space or to use a protective cover.

• If the effect of the parking brake decreases, it indicates that the brakes need to be bled and serviced or that the brake pads are worn.

• At minus degrees, gears can freeze. To avoid this, wires should be lubricated and the bicycle should be stored in a frost-free space.

• The battery for electric bicycles must not be exposed to extreme heat or water for a long period. When the bicycle is not in use, the battery must be stored in a dry and cool place. If the battery is not used for a longer period, charging should be made approximately 2 hours per month.

• Make it a habit to check at regular intervals that the brakes and gears are correctly adjusted.

• Never lubricate the discbrakes or brake pads.

NOTE!
Remember to ride with care. Heavy shocks such as curbs, bumps or uneven surfaces can be devastating if you drive recklessly. Repeatedly driving at high speeds over edg-es and bumps can weaken the frame and spokes. This also applies to overloading.
(Maximum load in box approx. 100 kg plus driver approx. 100 kg.)
The bike is made for normal city driving and is not an off-road vehicle.

CHECK BEFORE THE FIRST RIDE

The following is important to check before using the bicycle for the first time.

• Many parts on the bike are factory-as-sembled. Check and, if necessary, retighten/adjust factory-fitted parts.
• Check tire pressure. Maximum and recommended pressure is on the side of the tire.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged and properly connected

Functionality

• The battery has low voltage protection, which means that the power supply is stopped automatically when the voltage in the battery is low.
• The power supply stops automatically when the speed exceeds 25 km/h.
• The power supply stops automatically when you stop pedaling.

Maximizing the range

•  Many factors affect the power of the battery and also affect the range.
•  Recharge the battery completely before a long trip.
• On uneven roads and hilly terrain, more energy is used.
•  It takes more energy if you change speed often.
• Higher weight or more load consumes more energy.
• Always have the right tire pressure and always keep the bike clean and well-lubricated.
• Check that all wheels roll freely. If the brake pads receive, more energy is used each year. Check your brakes regularly.
• Pedaling harder saves the battery and increases the range of the battery.

CHARGE THE BATTERY

•  The battery and charger must not be handled by children.
•  Always use the supplied battery charger.
•  The charger is intended for indoor use at normal room temperature.

1.  Press the battery indicator to see the battery charge status.

Troubleshooting

The battery doesn’t charge

| The battery is in standby mode| Disable standby mode with the red button on the battery.
The charger is not connected to the mains| Connect the charger.
Difficulty to change gear| The gears are incorrectly set| Have the gears adjusted in an authorized workshop.

Any of the brakes does not work

| The brake pads are worn| Replace the brake pads.
There is air in the brake hose| Bleed the brakes. Contact an authorized workshop for help.
The bike provides no assistance|

Cables or connectors are loose

| Check all plug and cables. The directional arrows should point towards each other and the connector should be firmly pressed in and the locking function tightened. Also check the cord on the right side at the rear wheel of the engine. If the rear wheel has been removed, there is a risk that the cord has been connected incorrectly.

The battery is discharged

| Charge the battery regularly for best performance, even when the bike is not in use.
The electrical system is not switched on| Start the system by turning on the power switch.

The speed sensor does not detect that you are pedaling

| Check that the speed sensor LEDs flash when pedaling.
The speed sensor is located at the crank bearing on the right side. This detects the magnets of the rotating disk. Dirt can cause the sensor to not detect the magnets. If everything is clean, check that the sensor is close enough to the disc. You can manually push these closer together. If this does not help, contact an authorized workshop for possible speed sensor replacement.
| Another system failure| Contact a dealer or authorized workshop that can troubleshoot and repair the bike.
The bike is unusually heavy| Brakes are misaligned and brake the bike| Adjust the brakes so that the brake pads do not rest against the brake disc.
| Bad tire pressure| Pump the bike to the recommended pressure, the recommendation is on the tire side. About 4-4.5 bar.
Battery performance deteriorates| If the bike is used during autumn or winter when the temperature can drop to 0 – (-20°C), the capacity dete- riorates up to 50%.| Take the battery indoors when it is cold, when the bicycle is not in use. Charge the battery indoors.
