It is important to take the time required to learn the basics of using the bike to avoid serious injury which could occur when first using it. Contact your dealer for advice on how to use the bike correctly or indications on contacting a suitable training organization. The company assumes no direct or indirect responsibility arising from misuse of the bike, failure to comply with both the highway code and the instructions in the manual, accidents or disputes caused by failure to comply with regulations or illegal actions. This product must be used for recreational purposes. It cannot be used by more than one person at a time and must not be used to transport passengers. Do not modify the intended use of the vehicle in any way. The item is not suitable for stunts, competitions, transporting objects, towing other vehicles or trailers.
The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the rider’s ear is less than 70 dB(A).

CAUTION

Using the electrically power-assisted cycle
All users must have read and understood the instructions and information outlined in the manual. If during assembly, any factory defects are detected, certain steps are unclear or issues with assembly or adjustments occur, do not ride the vehicle and contact your dealer or visit www.urbanchicemobility.it for technical support

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 rider is required to use the electrically power-assisted cycle with utmost diligence and in full compliance with the road regulations and all cycling rules in force in the country of use. It is important to bear in mind that when out in a public space or on the road, even when the instructions in the manual are observed to the letter, the rider is not immune to injury caused by infractions or inappropriate actions taken towards other vehicles, obstacles or persons. 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, and maintain a suitable speed and safe 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 explains 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 a load of 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 (EPAC), as specified in the provisions of the current reference standard EN 15194, is a means of transport intended to transport one person only. The transport of a passenger is only permitted within the framework of the regulations in force in the country where it is ridden regarding the minimum age of the rider, maximum age of the passenger transport, and provision of legally approved and authorized passenger transport devices. 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 provision and installation of devices used for the transport of objects and animals (e.g. luggage racks, luggage bags, storage baskets, etc.) in compliance with the legally approved and authorized provisions in the country of use and the limitations of the structure within the permitted load limits (maximum load supported by the bike and by the luggage rack supplied, if present).

CAUTION

The installation of accessories and equipment on the bike, not only affects 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 authorized dealer or specialized 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 electrically power-assisted cycle model is designed and built for outdoor use on public roads or cycle tracks.
• 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 pedaling 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).
• In accordance with the provisions of European Directive 2002/24/EC, the electric motor supplied with the electrically power-assisted cycle is only activated to assist the user when pedaling and will be disabled upon reaching a speed of 25 km/h.
• The electrically power-assisted cycle has been designed and manufactured to be ridden outdoors on public roads and cycling paths, on both tarmacked surfaces and/or ground that is suitable for the specific technical and structural features of the bike.
• Any changes to its construction may compromise the behavior, 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 (tire 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 tire pressure, the wear of the wheels and battery charge status.
• Regularly check 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 unexpectedly and injure the user. Any cracks, scratches or changes in color in areas subject to high levels of stress indicate that the life of the component has been reached and must be replaced.

Permitted speed

The maximum allowed legal speed is 25km/h. The control unit has been configured to prevent any change to the maximum speed permitted. Any changes to the control unit which have not been authorized 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
Ride at a speed and behave in keeping with your ability; never use the electrically power-assisted cycle over 25 km/h as this could cause serious damage and injury to yourself or other people.

CAUTION

Place of use

• The electrically power-assisted cycle can be used outdoors providing there are no adverse weather conditions (rain, hail, snow, strong wind, etc.).
• Maximum permissible temperature: +40°C
• Minimum permissible temperature: +0°C
• Maximum permissible humidity: 80%
• The environment of use must present a flat, compact, smooth asphalted surface, without any holes or dips, free of obstacles and oil stains.
• The place of use must also be well-lit by either natural or artificial light in order to ensure that the route and controls of the electrically power-assisted cycle can be viewed correctly (recommended lighting 300 to 500 lux).

Improper use and contraindications

The actions described below, which obviously cannot cover the entire range of potential possibilities of “poor use” of the electrically power-assisted cycle, are to be considered strictly prohibited.

DANGER

It is strictly prohibited to:

• Use the electrically power-assisted cycle for uses other than the ones for which it has been manufactured.
• Ride the electrically power-assisted cycle if the rider’s weight exceeds the permitted limit.
• Use the electrically power-assisted cycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Use the electrically power-assisted cycle in areas at a risk of fire, or explosions or in places with a corrosive and/or chemically active atmosphere.
• Use the electrically power-assisted cycle in adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, hail, snow, strong wind, etc.).
• Use the electrically power-assisted cycle in poorly lit areas.
• Ride across or remain on uneven or rough ground (bumpy roads with potholes, depressions, obstacles, etc.) to avoid the risk of falls and injury to the rider and damage to the bike.
• Charge the battery in an environment that is either too hot or insufficiently ventilated.
• Cover the battery while its charging.
• Smoke or use open flames near the charging area.
• Perform any type of maintenance work with the battery connected.
• Insert limbs or fingers between the moving parts of the bike.

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.

Lancia Ypsilon Incanto / Lancia Estro / Lancia Genio Handlebar installation

Rotate the fork counterclockwise until it is positioned in front of the frame. Check that the handlebar attachment is positioned frontally and aligned with the frame while waiting for any subsequent adjustment necessary following installation of the handlebar and insertion of the front wheel.

Remove the fastening screws of the front panel on the end of the handlebar attachment and insert the handlebar into the appropriate housing in the central position; position the front panel of the previously removed handlebar attachment in its original position and slightly tighten the fastening screws to adjust the correct positioning of the handlebar. Complete the operation by tightening the screws.

Front-wheel installation

Insert the front wheel into the appropriate fork housings (forks) and tighten with the appropriate quick-release device (fig. A).

Conical springs: position the end of the conical springs (those with the smallest diameter) in the direction of the wheel. Insert the pin equipped with the relative conical spring inside the hub, leaving the lever on the right side of the bicycle (the side without the brake disc); insert the second conical spring and the locking nut into the pin coming out of the hub on the opposite side (side equipped with the brake disc), screwing it until flush against the dropout Close the lever towards the fork to complete the tightening operation by verifying that the lever has adequate resistance during the closing phase (such as leaving a mark on the palm of the hand used to tighten the lever, the so-called “imprint on a palm”) and, after closing, requires a considerable force to be exerted to allow relative opening.

Front mudguard installation
Remove the screw located in the rear of the fork. Insert the front mudguard so that it passes between the fork and the front wheel, then fasten it to the fork with the relevant bracket using the screw that was removed beforehand from it Fasten the side supports of the front mudguard to the relevant front fork brackets by removing and then tightening the screws on the brackets (right and left side).

Lancia Ypsilon Incanto Front basket installation

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.

DANGER

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:

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 torque values for fixing the specific parts/ components on the product (e.g. handlebar, handlebar attachment, handlebar column, saddle, seat post, wheels, etc.) can be identified at 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 a 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. Switching on and off can be done manually using the appropriate button on the light itself.

CAUTION

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.

Check with a negative outcome
In the event that, during assembly, factory defects, unclear passages or difficulties in an assembly are found, do not ride the ped-al-assisted bicycle and contact the support service of your authorized dealer or visit the website www.urbanchicemobility.it

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.

• 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 charged 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 inspections 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 (tire 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 tire 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 optimal comfort when using the bike, correct pedaling, 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 height and angle of the handlebars can be adjusted by the fastening systems on the handlebar stem and/or handlebar attachment. To adjust the handlebar in height (Lancia Ypsilon Brio model) 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 tight-ening the relative collar until it is not movable; in other cases, intervening on the joint on the handlebar attachment, loosening the relative fixing screws and, once the desired position is defined, tightening it afterward. 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 favor the natural posi-tion of the hand and fingers used to pull them, thus minimizing 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. As the brake pads on the calipers become worn and their thickness is reduced, the brake lever will have to be pulled further to exert the same braking force. If the bike has a mechanical disc braking system, to compensate for this type of wear, the brake cable adjustment ring located behind the corresponding lever will need to be adjusted to restore optimal braking conditions; if the brake pads are very worn, they must be replaced.

Gear change and drive

The cable change system supplied with the product (if present) is indexed and allows you to change the gear ratio and the metric development of the pedaling by acting on the control device on the handlebar, causing the lateral movement of the chain on the corresponding pinion of the cassette installed on the rear wheel through the relative 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 tires

• 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 tires: there must be no cuts, cracks, foreign bodies, abnormal swelling, visible canvases, and other damage.
• Check the tire pressure by referring to the specific range of minimum and maximum values shown on the side of the tire (suitable pressure must be customized according to the weight being carried, the weather conditions, and the road surface). Properly inflated tires, 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: tires, 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 aging/deterioration of the tires and replace the tires, 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 centered 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 the state of wear and tear of the steel cables present inside the sheaths of the braking system and provide for the relative replacement to prevent the relative risk of breakage and perform the periodic replacement of the brake pads installed on the relative calipers to reach a thickness of not less than 1mm.

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

• The cable transmission system supplied with the product (if present), being a very stressed component during use and working as a result of a mechanical tension, is liable to easily lose the adjustment; the permanence and/or the restoration of the correct operating conditions of the indexed gearbox are guaranteed by adequate adjustment of the derailleur (end-stroke screws) and adjustment of the transmission cable.The chain and the relative gears of the transmission are subject to wear and tear and, to ensure their integrity and correct operation in terms of fluidity and silence, they must be regularly cleaned and lubricated with specific products (drop or spray, dry or wet), adapted to the seasonality and methods of use of the product and periodically replaced.

• 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 opera-tions 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 pressurized 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 them 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.

DANGER

All the cleaning operations of the electrically power-assisted cycle must be performed with the battery removed. Water seeping into the battery may cause damage to internal circuits and risk of fire or explosion. Should you suspect that water may have entered the battery, stop using the battery immediately and return it to your dealer’s after-sales service for checking.

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:

• Perform 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 from paint or corrosion treatments.

CAUTION

Do not keep or store the bike outdoors or inside a vehicle for a prolonged period of time. Excessive sunlight, overheating, and excessive cold accelerate tire aging and jeopardize the life of both the item and the battery. Do not expose it to rain or water or immerse it in water to wash it.

Lifting
The weight of the electrically power-assisted cycle means it must be lifted by two adults taking extra care to avoid the risk of personal harm (crushing and injury) or damage to property (knocks and impacts).

DANGER

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.

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 centers (also called eco-collection centers 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 a specific separate collection.

CAUTION

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/battery, the same must be replaced only by qualified service personnel.

Deliver the product at the end of its service life to collection centers suitable for the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment: this ensures that the battery inside it is also treated correctly. For more detailed information about the disposal of the dead battery, contact the local waste disposal service or the shop where it was purchased. In any case, disposal must be carried out in accordance with the legislation in force in the country of purchase.
