Dear Customers,
Thank you for purchasing a B’TWIN electrically-assisted bike. It will introduce you to the joys of travelling on 2 wheels for your leisure, it will be the most practical and economical way for you to get around in town and will allow you to burn calories to keep fit. We invite you to read this instruction manual to get the most out of your B’TWIN electrical-ly-assisted bike.
Never forget that an electrically-assisted bike is not a moped. It needs your help to go further, faster and longer.

We suggest that you learn how to use your electrically-assisted bike in an open area in order to get used to the feel of the motor kicking in and thus ensure optimum control of your bicycle. Only use sport mode for your first kilometres if you are sure that you are able to control your bike. Here are the 10 commandments to get the best use of your B’TWIN electrically-assisted bicycle. Electrically assisted bicycles are heavier than classic pushbikes. Without assistance, pedal-ling can be harder. You must always make sure you are capable of riding the entire journey without assistance, in case your battery runs flat.

Important: this instruction manual only applies to the electrical characteristics of your bicycle. You should refer to the B’TWIN user manuals common to all our bicycles that ac-company this document and are also available on our website www.btwin.com or on request in our DECATHLON stores.

General operation of the electrical assistance

The electrically-assisted bike can be used with or without assistance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Always lock the battery with the key when in use. The electrical assistance will only operate if you pedal. The assis-tance will switch off the moment either of the two brake levers is depressed or the speed reaches more than 25 km/h. It will then restart automatically when below 23 km/h. In order to preserve battery life, the bike is equipped with a «power» limiter that limits assistance when the motor is under heavy strain. During intensive use and in exceptional weather conditions, the assistance may switch off to safeguard the entire system.
