• Risks associated with using the electrically power assisted cycle
  Despite the application of safety devices, to ensure safe use of the electrically power-assisted cycle, all the safety provisions reported in this manual must be observed.
  Always maintain concentration while riding and do not underestimate the residual risks connected with use of the electrically power-assisted cycle.

Responsibility
The driver is obliged to use the product (pedal-assisted bicycle – EPAC) with the utmost diligence and in full compliance with all the cycling regulations in force in the country of circulation. The product, according to the provisions of the Regulations in force regarding the conditions of conformity relating to EPAC products (EN 15194), cannot be used on public roads, but only for exclusive use in a private area and under the direct responsibility of the end user.
It is important to note that when using the product, even following this manual to the letter, you are not immune from injury caused by violations or inappropriate actions taken against other vehicles, obstacles or people. Misuse of the item or non-compliance with the instructions provided in this manual may cause severe injury. Riders must also ensure that the electrically power assisted cycle is kept clean, in perfect working order and serviced. They must diligently carry out the safety checks which are their responsibility, as well as preserve all the documentation about product maintenance. Riders must carefully assess any weather conditions which could make it potentially dangerous to use the electrically power assisted cycle. This product is a vehicle, therefore, the faster is it goes, the longer the braking distance required. We, therefore, recommend moderating your speed and maintaining an adequate braking distance if you are riding in adverse weather conditions and/or heavy traffic. The braking distance increases on wet, slippery, muddy or icy roads and the tyre grip decreases significantly with the risk of the wheels skidding and loss of balance compared to dry roads. It is, therefore, essential to ride the bike with greater care, maintain a suitable speed and safety distance from other vehicles or pedestrians. Take extra care when riding on unfamiliar roads. For your safety, we recommend wearing suitable protective equipment (helmet, knee and elbow pads) to protect yourself from any falls or injuries while riding the bike. When allowing others to use the bike, ensure that the rider wears the safety equipment and explain how to operate the vehicle. To avoid injury, do not allow other persons to use the item if they do not know how to use it. Wear shoes before using the item. The bike has been designed to allow the load of a maximum overall weight (rider and any load being carried) that does not exceed the value indicated in the product data sheet. Avoid using the product, under all circumstances, if the total load transported exceeds the recommended weight to avoid the risk of damaging the integrity of the structural and electronic components of the bike. The electrically power assisted cycle is a means of transport used to transport only one person.

It is the user’s responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the devices used for passenger transport in terms of construction characteristics, safety systems, anchoring systems and their installation and assembly on the electrically power assisted cycle based on its structure and within the permitted load limits (maximum load supported by the bike and by the luggage rack supplied, if present). The user is also responsible for the equipment and installation of product equipment devices used for the transport of objects and animals (e.g.: luggage racks, luggage bags, baskets, etc.) and within the expected load limits (maximum load borne by the product and the provided luggage rack, if present). The installation of accessories and equipment on the bike, not only affect the performance of the bike and how it is used, but can also cause damage if they are unsuitable, thus compromising correct operation and safety conditions during use. For information on the supply and installation of equipment deemed suitable for the bike, please contact your authorised dealer or specialised operators.

Warnings for users

• The electrically power assisted cycle can only be used by adults and skilled teenagers.
• Do not take alcohol or drugs before riding the electrically power assisted cycle.
• This model of electrically power assisted cycle is designed and built to be used outdoors and exclusively in private areas.
• Do not attempt to make the electrically power assisted cycle exceed the performance levels for which it was designed; do not ride on surfaces with a slope greater than 10%, on uneven and rough ground (bumpy road surfaces, with potholes, depressions, obstacles).
• Never ride the electrically power assisted cycle with any of its parts disassembled.
• Avoid uneven surfaces and obstacles.
• Ride with both hands on the handlebars.
• Before use, replace any worn and/or damaged parts and check that the safety devices are working properly.
• Keep children away from plastic items (including packaging materials) and small parts that may result in suffocation.
• Supervise children to make sure they do not play with the product.
• Remove any sharp edges caused by misuse, breakage or damage to the item.
• Pay particular attention when riding the bike near pedestrians and make sure you slow down and signal your presence to avoid frightening them when arriving from behind.
• Assemble the item correctly.

How to use
The electrically power assisted cycle is a bicycle fitted with an auxiliary electric motor that is activated only when the pedals are turned. The motor does not, therefore, replace the work performed by your leg muscles, but assists them so they work less hard by enabling the electrical and electronic components supplied with the product, i.e. the battery, handlebar controls, sensors and control electronics (control unit). More specifically, the electric motor is powered by a battery and operated by a unit that controls the delivery of power and additional thrust provided to assist the effort made by the rider’s muscles when pedalling based on the real-time reading of values detected by a series of pedal-assist sensors (PAS). These sensors are positioned on the outside of the frame or inside the components and are based on the control parameters entered by the user via the handlebar controls (display). The electric motor supplied with the pedal-assisted bicycle, in addition to being activated exclusively in support of the muscle pedaling function provided by the user, will deactivate when reaching 25 km/h of speed. The electrically power assisted cycle has been designed and built to be driven outside, on paved surfaces and/or terrain suitable for the specific technical and structural characteristics of the product. Any changes to its construction may compromise the behaviour, safety and stability of the electrically power assisted cycle and may cause an accident.

Any other types of use, or any extensions of use beyond the one intended, do not correspond to the intended use attributed by the manufacturer and the latter, therefore, disclaims all liability for any resulting damage. The autonomy of the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle and, therefore, the relevant distance data estimated in km, may vary significantly depending on the specific mode of use (total load transported, how hard the rider pedals the bike, level of electric pedal assistance detected, how often the rider departs and restarts), the mechanical and electrical conditions of the product (tyre pressure and wear, battery efficiency level) and external influences (slopes and road surface, atmospheric conditions). Before each use, carefully check that the brakes are working correctly and are not worn; check the tyre pressure, the wear of the wheels and battery charge status. Regularly check that the tightness of the various elements secured by bolts. The nuts and all the other self-tightening parts can become loose so, these components need to be periodically checked and tightened. Like all mechanical components, the item is subject to wear and tear. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in a variety of ways. If the useful life of a component is exceeded, it could break suddenly, causing injury to the user. Any cracks, scratches or changes in colour in areas subject to high levels of stress indicate that the life of the component has been reached and must be replaced.

CAUTION Any changes to the control unit which have not been authorised by the manufacturer will exclude the latter from any liability related to injury caused to persons and/or damage to property, and will invalidate the bike’s warranty terms and conditions.

DANGER-Risk of injury
Maintain a speed and a behaviour appropriate to your abilities to avoid causing serious damage and injury to yourself or to other people.

Assembly

Carefully remove the bike from the packaging and remove the protective material taking care not to damage the relevant aesthetic parts or force the cables and pre-assembled components.
The bike must be removed from the packaging by two adults to ensure that it is not damaged and avoid the risk of injury and/or crushing.

Front wheel positioning
Check the correct positioning of the front wheel.
The proper orientation of the front wheel will be confirmed by verifying the correct location of the front light (positioned frontally) and the front wheel brake disc (positioned on the left side of the front wheel).
Otherwise (fig. A), rotate the front wheel clockwise 180° until it is aligned with the frame, taking care not to force cables and pre-assembled components (fig.B).

Positioning the handlebar stem
Raise the handlebar stem until it is vertical; tighten the handlebar stem using the locking device indicated by the letter A.

Positioning the handlebars
Position the handlebars on the handlebar attachment taking care to centre and adjust them correctly so they slot onto the controls, tightening the handlebar attachment lever (tightening device between the handlebars and handlebar attachment).

Handlebar stem plate assembly/disassembly instructions for handlebar installation/removal (if necessary)
Remove the handlebar stem from the top end of the handlebar attachment as follows: Remove the screw number 1 and then the lever number 2. Then, remove the metal plate 3 and lastly, remove the metal plate 4 by sliding it sideways .

Now put the previously removed handlebar stem back in place, following the steps in reverse order. Make sure to tighten properly to avoid dangerous situations while riding.

Installing and positioning the seat post
Insert the seat post into the seat tube of the frame and, after positioning the saddle correctly, secure the seat post firmly using the special clamping device (seat post clamp) on the frame.

Minimum insertion seat post insertion limit
For structural and safety reasons, it is strictly forbidden, when using the bike, to extract
the seat post from the seat tube of the frame beyond the limit indicated on the latter to avoid the risk of causing any structural fractures to the bike and incurring serious injuries.
The seat post is deemed to be correctly and safely positioned inside the seat tube of the frame by inserting it so that no markings and/or graphic indication of the minimum insertion limit can be seen; see:

Maximum insertion seat post insertion limit
For structural reasons, to prevent the risk of damage and to allow proper operation of the spring-loaded rear shock absorber that connects the saddle column tube and the vertical frame sheath, it is strictly not recommended to insert the seatpost groove beyond the lower limit of the column tube until any contact, or proximity of contact, with the shock absorber.
Adjust and verify the presence of a suitable distance between the aforementioned components to ensure
an adequate operating margin commensurate with the supported load (see: user weight).

Installing the pedals
Locate the right pedal (marked with the letter R) and left pedal (marked with the letter L).
Fit the right pedal (R) by inserting the threaded pin of the pedal into the corresponding crank arm on the right side of the bike and screwing it clockwise (turn it towards the front wheel) until it is tightened using a 15mm wrench.
Fit the left pedal (L) by inserting the threaded pin of the pedal into the corresponding crank arm on the left side of the bike and screwing it anticlockwise (turn it towards the front wheel) until it is tightened using a 15mm wrench.

CAUTION

Verify and regularly check that the various bolted elements, fastening screws, quick releases and pass-through pins are correctly tightened, and perform an overall check to ensure that all the parts are in order. The nuts and all the other self-tightening parts can become loose so, these components need to be periodically checked and tightened.
The recommended tightening torques for fastening the specific parts/components on the bike (e.g. handlebars, handlebar attachment and stem, saddle, saddle clamp, wheels, etc.) can be identified depending on the relevant elements. An average torque of 20Nm can be used for all other fastenings.
Verification of the correct tightening of the parts/components through lever systems (quick release, handlebar attachment, seatpost collar, etc.), in the absence of technically precise indications of the relative values, can be done by testing that the relative part/component being fixed is not mobile and/or unstable if subjected to a vigorous attempt to remove and/or extract (handlebar, seatpost channel, wheels, etc.) and by verifying that the tightening lever has adequate resistance during the closing phase (such as to leave a mark on the palm of the hand used for lever tightening, so-called “imprint on palm”) and, after closing, requires a considerable force to be exerted to allow relative opening.

Rear light
The rear LED light is already installed on the end of the rear luggage rack. It can be switched on and off manually using the button on the light itself or, at the same time as the front LED light is switched on/off via the control on the display, if this option is included.

Battery key set
The electrically power assisted cycle is exclusively equipped with 2 keys uniquely associated with the key lock located on the battery installed on the product to allow locking and/or unlocking by extraction. Identify the keys on the bike, located near the handlebar or attached to another component of the electrically power assisted cycle (frame or battery), taking care that they do not get mislaid.

Negative check
If, during assembly, you encounter any manufacturing defects, unclear steps or difficulties with assembly, do not ride the electrically power assisted cycle and contact the after-sales service of your authorised dealer or visit the website www.argentobike.it

CAUTION: In the interest of technological development, the manufacturer reserves the right to modify the item with no prior notice and this manual will not be automatically updated. For further information and to consult any new versions of the manual, please visit www.argentobike.it

Turn the key clockwise to the locked position to ensure that the battery is secured to the frame. Check that the battery is correctly installed and secured by trying to pull it out and/or making sure that it is securely fastened to the frame and does not move.

Battery charging
Before using the electrically power assisted cycle for the first time, the battery must be fully charged using the battery charger supplied.
The average time to fully charge the battery, which varies according to the residual charge level of the battery, can be estimated as shown in the sheet below.
We recommend charging the battery with the specific battery charger after each use of the electrically power assisted cycle.

CAUTION Only use the battery charger provided or an approved model with the same technical specifications, taking care to observe the same methods and precautions of use indicated on the charged or in the manual.

EPAC| Battery charger INPUT| Battery charger OUTPUT| Recharge life
---|---|---|---
BiMax XL| AC 100V-240V 2.0A (Max)| DC 54.62V 2.0A (Max)| 5-7 h
BiMax XL +| AC 100V-240V 2.0A (Max)| DC 54.62V 2.0A (Max)| 5-7 h

Make sure that the electrically power assisted cycle is switched off and the battery is switched off/disabled (if required by the model of battery supplied with the bike). Make sure that the battery charger, its jack and the charging port of the battery are dry. Connect the battery charger jack to the battery charging port and then, the mains power socket (230V/50Hz). There is a red indicator light when the battery is charging. When the indicator light turns green, it signals that the battery charging cycle has been completed.

• C. Battery charging LED indicator light

CAUTION

• Using a battery charger that differs from the one supplied, which is not suitable or approved, to charge the e-bike battery may damage it or involve other potential risks.
• Never leave the e-bike unsupervised while it is charging.
• Do not switch on or ride the e-bike during charging.
• Keep out of the reach of children during charging. Do not place anything on top of the battery charger during use; do not allow any liquid or metal to get inside the battery charger.
• The battery charger heats up during the battery charging cycle.
• Do not charge the battery immediately after use. Allow the battery to cool down before charging it.
• The item should not be charging for extended periods. Overcharging reduces battery life and poses additional potential hazards.
• Do not allow the battery to completely discharge to avoid damaging it and causing it to lose efficiency.
• Damage caused by the battery being left uncharged for a long period is irreversible and is not covered by the limited warranty. Once the damage has occurred, the battery cannot be recharged (the battery must not be dismantled by unqualified personnel, as this could lead to electric shocks, short circuits or even major safety incidents).
• Charge the battery at regular intervals (at least once every 3-4 weeks), even if the electrically power assisted cycle has not been used for an extended period.
• Charge the battery in a dry environment, away from flammable materials (e.g. materials that may burst into flame), preferably at an indoor temperature of 15-25°C, but never below 0°C or above + 45°C.
• Carry out regular visual inspection of the charger and charger cables. Do not use the battery charger if it is damaged.

Autonomy and battery duration
The autonomy of the battery supplied with the electrically power assisted cycle and, therefore, the relevant distance data estimated in km, may vary significantly depending on the specific mode of use (total load transported, how hard the rider pedals the bike, level of electric pedal assistance detected, how often the rider departs and restarts), the mechanical and electrical conditions of the product (tyre pressure and wear, battery efficiency level) and external influences (slopes and road surface, atmospheric conditions). The capacity and performance of the battery will decrease over time due to the electrochemical deterioration of the battery cells. It is impossible to predict its duration with accuracy, since it depends above all on the type of use and stress to which it is subjected. To promote the longevity of the battery, it is advisable to store it in a dry environment and protected from direct exposure to sunlight and preferably at an internal temperature of 15-25 ° C, but never below 0 ° C or above + 45 ° C, ideally recharge at room temperature and avoid overcharging or its complete discharge during use and recharging the battery at regular intervals even if you do not use the pedal-assisted bicycle for an extended period (at least once every 3/4 weeks). Cold, in general, decreases battery performance. If used during the winter, the battery should be charged and stored at room temperature and inserted in the electrically power assisted cycle only shortly before it is used.

First use

Before using the pedal-assisted bicycle, in addition to verifying the state of charge and correct installation of the battery, to allow an adequate start-up and ensure efficient and safe use of the product, it is always appropriate to carefully check each part by carrying out the necessary adjustment of the related mechanical components, directly or with the support of specialized operators, see: adjustment and tightening of the saddle and seatpost channel, adjustment and tightening of the handlebar and handlebar attachment, adjustment of brakes, adjustment of gearbox, chain and gear lubrication, wheel and tyre pressure verification, general verification of the correct tightening of the fixing screws, quick release and through pins as well as a general check that all the parts are in order.

Saddle
The position on the bicycle is very important to ensure the optimal comfort when using the bike, correct pedalling and to avoid any safety problems.
It is, therefore, important that the saddle and the seat post are positioned and adjusted to suit the rider. The saddle can be adjusted in height, forward position and angle. To adjust the height of the saddle, the clamp that secures the seat post in the frame must be loosened and either raised or lowered as needed, taking care not to pull it out beyond the limit indicated to avoid the risk of breaking the frame. Once the best position has been found in compliance with the precautions for extracting the seat post, secure it by tightening the relevant clamp until it is correctly tightened to prevent it from moving and/or becoming unstable. Generally speaking, the best way to adjust the height of the saddle is to check that when your foot is placed on the pedal at its lowest point, your leg is almost completely extended. To adjust the angle and how far forward the saddle is positioned, loosen the relevant fastening mechanism in the seat post bracket, so you can tilt the saddle and move it forward as desired. Then, tighten the fastening system to avoid any play or movement.

Handlebars
The handlebar can be adjusted in height and inclination by working on the relative fixing systems on the handlebar attachment. To adjust the handlebar in height, it is necessary to loosen the collar that tightens the telescopic handlebar column allowing extraction or insertion to raise or lower the handlebar until the desired position is defined by tightening the relative collar until it is not mobile. To adjust the angle of the handlebars, loosen the clamp on the stem, rotate the handlebars until the desired position is reached and secure it by tightening the clamp until it can no longer be moved.

Brakes
The braking system installed on the product provides for the presence of mechanical disc brakes that can be operated on the front wheel and on the rear wheel through the corresponding levers positioned on the handlebar, individually equipped with a device (cut-off sensor) through which, by operating the brake lever to which it is connected, the immediate disengagement of the propulsive action of the motor takes place. The brake lever on the right side of the handlebar activates the rear brake and stops the rear wheel whereas the brake lever on the left side of the handlebar activates the front brake and stops the front wheel. The front and rear brake levers must be positioned and adjusted so they are comfortable to use and favour the natural position of the hand and fingers used to pull them, thus minimising the force and amount of time required to pull the brake lever whilst ensuring that the brake is applied evenly.
Check the operation of the brakes with a low speed brake test (max 6km/h) in an obstacle-free zone. The progressive state of wear of the brake pads installed on the relative callipers, reducing their thickness, will require the corresponding brake levers a greater stroke to exert the same braking force and will be automatically compensated by the valve system supplied to the braking system guaranteeing the same braking efficiency until the pads are exhausted and need a replacement.

Gear change and drive
The cable gear change system supplied with the product is indexed and allows you to change the gear ratio and pedal stroke metrics by adjusting the control device on the handlebar, determining the sideways movement of the chain on the corresponding sprocket of the cassette installed on the rear wheel via the derailleur. Make sure the gear change and its adjustment are correct and that the chain and drive gears are clean and properly lubricated.

Wheels and tyres

• Check the correct centring, suitable tensioning of the spokes and correct installation and tightening of the pass-through pins and/or the quick release mechanism of the front wheel (if present).

• Check the presence and correct installation of the reflectors.

• Check the condition and state of wear of the tyres: there must be no cuts, cracks, foreign bodies, abnormal swelling, visible canvases and other damage.

• Check the tyre pressure by referring to the specific range of minimum and maximum values shown on the side of the tyre
  (suitable pressure must be customised according to the weight being carried, the weather conditions and road surface).

• Properly inflated tyres, in addition to improving wheel slip, reduce the risk of punctures and deterioration.

Storage, maintenance and cleaning

• To ensure and maintain a good level of safety and functionality of the bike, it must be regularly checked and periodically serviced.

• Some checks and servicing tasks can be carried out directly by the user or anyone who has basic mechanical skills, ability and access to the right tools.

• Other operations require the expertise and specific tools of a qualified operator.

• The dealer will be able to provide all the information about the checks which can be carried out directly by the user and suggest which routine maintenance tasks should be periodically carried out based on how frequently the bike is used and the conditions of its use.

• All the maintenance operations must be performed with the battery detached and the bike resting on the kickstand.

• The different parts that make up the bike are subject to various types of wear from use.

• In particular, the following components should be regularly checked and serviced: tyres, wheels, brakes, gears, chain, suspension and frame.

• The tread of the tyres installed on the bike is liable to be consumed which can be accentuated by how and where it is used. The rubber of the tyres also tends to harden over time.

• The correct pressure of the inner tube in the tyres should be constantly checked to reduce the risk of punctures, limit deterioration and ensure safer use and performance of the bike.

• Periodically inspect the state of wear and ageing/deterioration of the tyres and replace the tyres, if necessary, with ones that have the same characteristics.

• The correct servicing of the wheels, which become worn through use, means that they must be periodically checked to ensure they are correctly centred and that the tensioning of the spokes is uniform and suitable for the type of rim. The hub bearings should be inspected, cleaned and lubricated or replaced, if necessary.

• The integrity of the rims supplied with the bike must be constantly checked to make sure that they are not deformed, cracked or dented and/or show any other signs of corrosion and damage that require them to be replaced for safety reasons.

• To ensure the maintenance of a good level of operation of the brakes, in addition to regularly checking the state of wear and integrity of the discs and callipers, periodically replace the brake pads installed on the relative callipers to reach a thickness of not less than 1mm.

• If there is a decrease in braking efficiency, it will be necessary to purge or replace the mineral oil present in the hydraulic system circuit.

• The correct functioning of the electrically power assisted cycle transmission is guaranteed by adequate maintenance and adjustment of the relevant components.

• The cable gear change system supplied with the product, which undergoes constant stress during use and operation as
  a result of mechanical tension, may easily lose its adjustment setting. The correct operating conditions of the indexed rear derailleur are guaranteed by adjusting the derailleur (stop screws) and adjusting the gear change cable.

• The chain and the relevant drive gears are subject to wear due to use and must be regularly cleaned and lubricated with specific products (drip or spray, dry or wet) adapted to the season and methods of use of the product and periodically replaced in order to guarantee their integrity and ensure they run smoothly and quietly.

• Lubricate the parts in question only after they have been properly cleaned and degreased. Then, remove any excess lubricant if oily lubricants have been used.

• The front and rear suspensions (where present) cannot be adjusted unless otherwise specified in this manual as they do not require specific maintenance; they only need to be checked to ensure they are working correctly and there is no play.

• The linings of the suspensions installed on the bike already include the lubricant (where present)needed to ensure their correct operation and do not, therefore, require additional lubrication.

• The bike frame must be inspected regularly to exclude the presence of any signs of cracking and/or so-called “material fatigue” so that any intervention required to reduce and/or eliminate the risk of damage and/or breakage can be promptly performed.

• Each part of the fastening mechanisms on the bike should be carefully inspected and a preventive and periodic general check performed of the correct tightening of the self-tightening nuts and fastening screws which may lose their efficiency through use and over time.

CAUTION All the controls must be checked to ensure they work correctly after every routine maintenance intervention.

Maintenance notes
Every maintenance job must take place with the battery disconnected.
During each maintenance phase operators must be equipped with the necessary accident prevention equipment. The tools used for maintenance must be suitable and good quality.
Do not use petrol or flammable solvents as cleaning agents but always use non- flammable and non-toxic solvents. Limit the use of compressed air as much as possible and protect yourself with goggles with side shields.
Never use naked flame as a means of lighting when carrying out checks or maintenance work.
After each maintenance or adjustment job ensure that no tools or foreign bodies remain inside the organs of movement of the assisted pedal bike.
This manual does not provide in-depth information regarding disassembly and extraordinary maintenance, as these operations must always be carried out exclusively by the authorized dealer’s Support Service personnel.
The Assistance Service is able to provide all the indications and to respond to all the requests to take care of and keep your pedal-assisted bicycle perfectly efficient.

Cleaning
Cleaning the electrically power assisted cycle is not only a matter of decorum, but also allows any defects to be detected immediately. The battery must be detached and removed in order to wash the bike, preferably using a sponge and/or a soft cloth and water, with the possible addition of a specific neutral detergent and taking particular care when handling the electronic parts. It is strictly forbidden to aim pressurised water jets at the various electrical parts, the motor, display and battery. After washing, it is important to dry all the washed components, as well as the frame and the braking surfaces with a second soft cloth and/or dry completely with low pressure compressed air and check that no residual moisture has remained on the electrical components. If there are stains on the body of the scooter, wipe with a damp cloth. If the stains persist, apply neutral soap, brush out with a toothbrush, then wipe with a damp cloth. Do not clean the items with alcohol, petrol, paraffin or other corrosive or volatile chemical solvents to prevent severe damage.

Preservation and storage
If the electrically power assisted cycle needs to be stored and will not be used for extended periods of time, it must be kept in a dry, cool, closed space, that is ventilated if possible. The following operations should also be carried out:

• Carry out a general cleaning of the electrically power assisted cycle.
• Remove the battery supplied with the pedal-assisted bicycle from its housing and, after deactivating it through its key or switch (if present), store it in a dry environment, away from flammable materials (for example materials that could explode in flames), preferably at an internal temperature of 15-25°C, never below 0°C or above + 45°C and perform periodic charging cycles to prevent the voltage level of the same from being excessively reduced, causing the risk of damage and loss of efficiency.
• Protect exposed electrical contacts with antioxidant products.
• Grease all surfaces not protected by anti-corrosion paints or treatments.

Transportation
To ensure the safe transport of the pedal-assisted bicycle, inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle used for transport or outside (e.g. bicycle carrier), in addition to providing for the preventive removal of the battery and the accessory components installed on it, perform the relative anchoring through the use of appropriate fastening materials (bands or cables) and coupling devices in good condition and installed so as not to damage the frame, cables and other parts of the product. It is the user’s responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the equipment used to transport the bike by fitting and installing devices (e.g. bike racks) in accordance with the legal requirements of the country in which it is ridden.

Information on disposal

CAUTION Handling of the electrical or electronic device at the end of its service life (applicable in all European Union countries and in other European systems with separate collection systems)

This symbol on the product or packaging indicates that the product should not be considered as normal household waste, but should be taken to a facility authorised to dispose of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). By ensuring the item is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which may otherwise be caused by inappropriate disposal. Recycling materials will help to preserve natural resources. For more detailed information about the recycling and disposal of this item, you can contact the local waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased it. In any case, disposal must be carried out in accordance with the legislation in force in the country of purchase.

More specifically, consumers must not dispose of WEEE as municipal waste, but must dispose of this type of waste separately, in one of two possible ways:

• By taking it to municipal collection centres (also called eco-collection centres or recycling facilities), directly or through the collection services of municipal companies, where available.
• By taking it to shops selling new electrical and electronic equipment.

Here, very small items of the WEEE type (with the longest side less than 25 cm) can be left free of charge, while larger ones can be left on a 1-for-1 basis, i.e., you can leave the old item when you buy a new one having the same function. Moreover, the 1-on-1 mode is always guaranteed when the consumer purchases a new EEE, regardless of the size of the WEEE.
In the event of improper disposal of electrical or electronic equipment, the specific sanctions provided for by current legislation on environmental protection may be applied. If the WEEE contains batteries or accumulators, they must be removed and subjected to specific separate collection.

Treatment of spent batteries (applicable in all countries of the European Union and in other European systems with separate collection system)

This symbol on the product or packaging indicates that the battery pack should not be treated as normal household waste. On some types of batteries, this symbol may be used in combination with a chemical symbol.
The chemical symbols for mercury (Hg) or lead (Pb) are added if the battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury or 0.004% lead.
By ensuring that the batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which may otherwise be caused by inappropriate disposal. Recycling materials will help to conserve natural resources. In the case of products that, for reasons of security, performance or data protection require a fixed connection to an internal battery, ùmust be replaced only by qualified service personnel.

Deliver the product at the end of its service life to collection centres suitable for the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment: this ensures that the battery inside it is also treated correctly.
