9. USE OF THE BICYCLE
The pedal-assisted bicycle was designed and built for use in open places, with
asphalt or similar surfaces, for amateur use.
· It can only be used by expert adults and children; · The use of a pedal-
assisted bicycle is not recommended for pregnant women; · Do not take alcohol
or drugs before riding the pedal-assisted bicycle; · Do not ask your pedal-
assisted bicycle to perform in excess of that for which it was designed. Use
the bicycle only in the manner and intended uses described in this manual; ·
Never ride the pedal-assisted bicycle with parts removed; · The pedal-assisted
bicycle cannot be used on very wet, icy or slippery surfaces; · Avoid very
irregular surfaces and obstacles; · Ride with both hands on the handlebars; ·
Replace worn and/or damaged parts. If necessary, have it checked by authorized
personnel;
Before leaving, carry out all the checks reported in the previous chapter and
always stay concentrated while driving, for your own safety and that of
others.
DANGER
DANGER OF INJURIES · Check that all controls are working perfectly; · Always respect the highway code; · Use appropriate protective equipment (helmet, etc.)
Before using the pedal-assisted bicycle in places open to traffic, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the behavior of the vehicle. The first uses must be made in private environments away from traffic, other cyclists and obstacles of any kind. The driver must adapt the travel speed of the pedal-assisted bicycle to the conditions of the route and the presence of other vehicles or pedestrians. Above all, when negotiating curves, you must maintain a moderate speed (the smaller the radius of the curve, the lower the speed must be). When the driver stops pedaling or the speed reaches 25 km/h, the electric motor no longer provides assistance and the bicycle proceeds completely controlled by the pedals. It is essential to gain experience in riding a pedal-assisted bicycle before proceeding at high speed. If you do not want to use the engine, simply remove the battery or set the lowest assistance level.

stable ground. The bicycle must be parked in the designated parking areas and,
in any case, without obstructing the passageways, emergency exits, electrical
panels and fire stations.
10. MAINTENANCE
DANGER
DANGER OF INJURIES During all maintenance work, follow appropriate safety measures. All maintenance operations must be carried out with the battery disconnected from the pedal-assisted bicycle and the battery charger; the bicycle must be supported in a stable manner using specific support elements.
To maintain the full functionality of your pedal-assisted bicycle for a long period of time, it is necessary to carry out maintenance as described, with correctness and professional skills. After every ordinary maintenance intervention, a check on the perfect functioning of all the controls is mandatory.
10.1 Maintenance and daily checks
10.1.1 Checking of labels and pictograms Check the legibility and presence of
the CE plate and the warning stickers applied to the bodywork of the bicycle.
10.1.2 Wheels check Using the appropriate inflation valve on the rims, check
the inflation pressure of the tires using a compressor and a gun with pressure
gauge, or a pump. Check the condition of the tread, the rim and the fixing of
the rims to the hubs. If you need to replace the tyres, contact your
authorized dealer or a qualified tire dealer.
ATTENTION
Do not inflate the tires beyond the permissible value indicated by the manufacturer on the side surface of the tires.

Brake adjustment must only be carried out by authorized personnel.
10.2 Maintenance and weekly checks
10.2.1 Washing and cleaning Cleaning the pedal-assisted bicycle is not only a
matter of decorum, but also allows you to immediately detect any defects in
it.To avoid damaging or compromising the functioning of the various
components, especially the electrical parts, cleaning must be carried out
taking certain precautions. It is absolutely forbidden to direct jets of
pressurized water towards the electrical parts, the engine and the battery,
for which washing with a sponge is recommended. Before starting the pedal-
assisted bicycle, dry it completely with low-pressure compressed air and check
that there is no residual moisture left on the electrical components.
10.2.2 Chain lubrication and tension control It is important to clean and lubricate the chain periodically to avoid corrosion due to atmospheric agents.
- Clean the entire length of the links with a rag. 2. Spray all links with special spray grease for drive chains.
DANGER
CORRECT CHAIN LUBRICATION Be extremely careful not to get lubricant on the brakes or tires of the vehicle bicycle. This can lead to serious injuries!
10.2.3 Checking the frame and bolts The supporting frame of the pedal-assisted bicycle and the welds must be free of visible defects such as: cracks, deformations, incisions, corrosion, etc. Make sure that all bolts on the pedal-assist bicycle are well tightened.

10.3 Monthly Maintenance and Inspections
10.3.1 Checking electrical circuits and components Check the condition and
fastening of the battery cables: the sheaths of the electrical cables must be
in good condition and the terminals must be well tightened, not corroded and,
if necessary, covered with specific protective and insulating grease. Check
that all bulbs and warning lights come on correctly.
10.3.2 Checking and adjusting the rear derailleur Adjustment of the lower and
upper gearbox limit switches: Turn the two screws (Ref. Q,R – Fig. 14) so that
the chain does not come out.The chain shifter will need to be in line with
both the larger and smaller gears. (Fig. 15)
R Adjust the cable tension using the appropriate control to ensure immediate
response of the rear derailleur to the control of the shifter located on the
handlebar. (Fig. 16) To prevent damage to the gearbox, it is recommended not
to put too much pressure on the pedals while changing gears. Therefore avoid
shifting when making an effort or driving on a slope.
