The smart ebike is designed to be riddenon asphalt roads and lanes as well as sur-faced forest and country tracks. The tyresmust not lose contact with the ground whendoing so. The ebike is not designed forriding over obstacles, such as high kerbs.Equally, it is not designed for carryingmore than one person. Nobody should becarried on the optionally available lug-gage carrier*.

The smart ebike is not suitable for compe-tition.

The smart ebike together with rider,accessories and luggage may have a per-missible gross weight of 140 kg (308 lbs).Never exceed the permissible grossweight.

The smart ebike is not approved for towinga trailer. Riding with a trailer or a trailerbike or pulling another bicycle using abicycle connection system is not permit-ted.

Always make sure that your smart ebike isused for the purposes it was designed for.If the smart ebike is used in ways for whichit was not designed, this could result indamage to the fitted components. Thiscould then lead to accidents and injuries.

The smart ebike is not intended for personswith limited physical, sensory or mentalabilities. The ebike is not suitable forchildren under 14 years old.

Taking the battery for your smart ebike ona passenger plane is not permitted.

Transporting the ebike with the batteryfitted on a vehicle rear-mounted cycle rackor roof carrier is not permitted. Removethe battery before transporting(Y page 41). Before transporting alsoremove components which are not securelybolted on such as, e.g. the control console,smartphone and net pockets.

Pedelec (Pedal Electric Cycle)

Pedal-assist technology

The smart ebike belongs to a class of elec-trically assisted bicycles called pede-lecs. Another name for pedelecs is EPAC(electric power assisted cycles). Pedelecsprovide assistance only when your areexerting force on the pedals. A pedal sen-sor in the pedal-crank bearing measuresthe force you are exerting and determineshow much propulsion power will be provi-ded by the electric motor. When you stoppedalling, the electric motor switches off.

Before reaching the maximum assistedspeed, the power from the electric motor isgradually decreased until the pedal assis-tance finally shuts off. In European coun-tries, for example, the maximum assistedspeed is 25 km/h (15.5 mph). If you are notusing the pedal-assist function, you canride faster than the maximum assistedspeed.

i The maximum assisted speed and thecontinuous rating of the electric motorare indicated on a sticker located on theebike.

Pedal sensor in the pedal-crank bear-ing

! The sensor used to determine the ped-alling power can lose its electronic cal-ibration. This can result in malfunc-tioning of the pedal-assist function.Keep magnets and large metallic objects,

>> Introduction. 11

* optional Z

e.g. hammers, away from the pedal-crankbearing.

Generator mode (recuperation)

Your smart ebike is equipped with a so-called regenerative brake. This technol-ogy allows you to convert kinetic energyinto electrical energy. When you apply thebrakes, the electric motor acts as a gener-ator (generator mode). Electrical energygenerated in this way is returned to thebattery. At the same time, the energy recu-peration process brakes your ebike withoutwear on the brakes.

Serial number

You will find the serial number of yourebike on the right-hand side of the frame,near the pedal-crank bearing. Write downthe serial number and keep it in a safeplace.

Depending on the country in which you useyour smart ebike, you may be required towear a helmet. Irrespective of any helmetlaw, smart recommends that you always weara suitable helmet and goggles.

Wear conspicuous, bright clothing appro-priate for cycling and shoes which aresuitable for the bike's pedals. When ridingin traffic, always be considerate andobserve the traffic rules and regulationsin order to avoid endangering yourself andothers.

Inspection before starting a journey

Checking tyres and wheels

G WARNING

If seated at an angle, valves may break offwhile the ebike is in operation. If thishappens, the tyre will suddenly lose pres-sure. There is a risk of an accident.

Check the seating of the valves. The valvesmust extend from the wheel rim at rightangles. Correct the position of any incor-rectly seated valves immediately.

Before every ride, check the following:

Rtyres and wheels for damage and foreignbodies lodged in the tyres. Damagedwheels can lead to a loss of pressure andresult in further damage.Rtyre tread depthRtrue running of the wheels by allowing

both wheels to rotate freely. Out-of-round wheels can be an indication oftyres which have burst at the side, brokenaxles or torn spokes. Also investigateany rattling noises and check bearingsand bolted connections if necessary.

Checking the drive belts

G WARNING

Inadequately secured belt pulleys andsafety guards may become loose while theebike is in operation. Incorrectly aligneddrive belts may become detached from thebelt pulleys while the ebike is in opera-tion. There is a risk of accident and injury.

RBefore every ride, check to make sure thedrive belt is properly aligned and ten-sioned, and the belt pulleys are boltedsecurely.

RAlso check for proper installation of theslip guard to prevent the drive beltjumping teeth or slipping.

Always follow all the instructions on han-dling the drive belt – particularly everytime the rear wheel is removed or fitted(Y page 59). Extra caution is required inthese cases in order to prevent damage tothe drive belt.

Checking the battery lock

Before every ride, make sure the lockingcylinder on the battery lock is engaged. Ifthe battery is not retained by the lock, itcould fall out while the ebike is in opera-tion.

Checking the operation of the brakesystem

Before every ride, carry out a stationarybrake test. To do so, pull the brake leverstowards the handlebar using two fingersand normal braking force. The brake levermust not come into contact with the han-dlebar (Y page 24). A distance “A” mustremain between the brake lever and thehandle, even when maximum hand force isapplied.

Checking the brake system for wear

G WARNING

After braking, particularly during longdescents, the brake discs and callipers aswell as the quick-release connections andaxle nuts may become extremely hot. Thereis a risk of injury.

Wait until these components have cooleddown before touching them.

Check the brake pads for wear before everyride (Y page 48).

Carry out a visual inspection of the brakediscs:

Rthe friction disc must not show any signsof scoring or breakout. It must be free ofoil and dirt.RAll bolts must be present and securely in

place.

Adjusting the brake handles

Example: rear wheel brake

: Brake handle

; Clamping bolts

You can adjust the brake handles to matchthe position of the grips. If your fingers,when extended from the arm, rest on thebrake levers then the brake handles are setcorrectly. The wrist should be as straightas possible when doing so.

X Release both clamping bolts ; on brakehandle : using a T25 torx wrench.

X Turn brake handle : to a comfortableposition.

X Tighten both clamping bolts ; alter-nately to a torque of 3 Nm (2.21 lb-ft).When brake handles : have been tight-ened to the specified torque, it shouldno longer be possible to turn them.

X After riding 30 km (19 miles), retightenclamping bolts ; to the specified tor-que of 3 Nm (2.21 lb-ft).

Adjusting the reach of the brake levers

G WARNING

If you can pull the brake levers through tothe handlebars, you cannot use the fullbraking force when braking hard. The brak-ing distance is increased as a result. Thereis a risk of an accident.

Always adjust the brake lever as described.

Example: front wheel brake

: Brake lever

; T25 torx wrench

You can adjust the reach of the brake leversto the size of your hand. Adjust the brakelever so that you can grip it quickly andsecurely, and use plenty of hand strength atthe same time.

X Adjust the reach by turning the adjust-ment screw in brake lever :.The gap between brake lever : and thehandlebar changes.

X Pull brake lever : with maximum handstrength.Brake lever : must not touch the han-dlebar.

Riding with electric assistance

Pedal assist

G WARNING

If pedal assist is activated on smooth orslippery road surfaces, the rear wheel canspin and lose grip when you accelerate.There is a risk of an accident.

Always deactivate pedal assist on smooth orslippery road surfaces.

The smart ebike only assists you when youapply force to the pedals. When you stoppedalling, the electric motor switches off.Pedal assist will also switch off if youexceed the maximum power assist speed(varies according to country) (Y page 11).

The drive power depends on the drive levelyou have selected (Y page 27). The higherthe drive level, the less effort you yourselfhave to provide to maintain a specificspeed.

Drivelevel (A)

Riding situation

None Riding without electricalpedal assist

1 Riding on level ground

Drivelevel (A)

Riding situation

2 Riding uphill, riding withheadwind

3 Riding on steep uphill gra-dients, riding with strongheadwind

4 Riding on extremely steepuphill gradients

i Pedal off by first pushing the left legdown on the pedal. In this way, the pedalforce sensor can pick up your pedal forcemore effectively and can activate theelectric motor more quickly to provideassistance. This is particularly ofadvantage when riding uphill.

Generator mode

G WARNING

If the generator mode is activated or youapply the front wheel brake, the electricmotor will brake the rear wheel. The rearwheel could lock and lose grip on smooth orslippery road surfaces. There is a risk ofan accident.

RAlways deactivate the generator onsmooth or slippery road surfaces.

RIf possible, only brake with the rearwheel brake on smooth or slippery roadsurfaces.

In generator mode, the electric motor isused as a generator and charges the batteryduring riding. The braking power gener-ated during charging is used to brake theebike. The amount of regenerative brakingdepends on the generator level selected ingenerator mode (Y page 28).

i If you apply the front wheel brake, theelectric motor will automatically applythe rear wheel brake even if the genera-tor mode is deactivated. The level ofbraking power applied to the rear wheel

depends on the riding speed and cannotbe regulated. Exception: the rear wheelbrake will not be applied automaticallyif the battery is fully charged.

i The energy recuperated in generatormode can only be stored in the battery ifthe current charge level permits. Energyrecovery may be deactivated when ridingdown mountains if the battery is fullycharged. Riding in generator mode thenhas no braking effect.

Energy-saving driving style

Your smart ebike assists you with a brush-less wheel hub motor integrated into therear wheel.

Wheel hub motor power output:

RUnited Kingdom 200 WREU countries (except the United King-

dom) 250 WRCanada 350 W

Depending on the drive level selected, theriding style and the topography, the driveassists you for a range of up to 100 km(62 miles).

If you wish to ride further, the smart ebikebehaves like a completely normal bicyclewithout pedal assistance.

The range of the smart ebike with a fullycharged battery depends on the followingfactors:

Rthe physical performance of the riderRthe drive and generator level selectedRthe gear selectedRthe gross weight of the ebike, rider and

loadRthe tyre pressureRthe road surfaceRthe topographyRthe temperatureRthe wind conditionsRthe nature of use with frequent starts or

even-paced stretchesRand the use of generator mode (energy

recuperation) when braking

To achieve the maximum possible range,observe the following recommendations:

Rselect a drive level which is as low aspossible and as high as necessary.Rto charge the battery during the tour, use

generator mode as often as possible.Rselect a low gear on an uphill gradient

and a high gear on level ground or whenriding downhill.Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight.Rcheck the tyre pressures regularly every

14 days and correct them when required(Y page 44).

Braking

Notes on disc brakes

G WARNING

On wet roads:

Rthe frictional force between the tyresand the road is reduced.

Rwater between the brake pads and brakedisks reduces the effect of the brake sys-tem.

Driving tips 37

>> O

pera

tion

.

Z

The braking distance is increased. Thereis a risk of an accident.

ROn wet roads brake sooner to compensatefor the longer braking distance.

ROn wet roads brake with greater care toprevent the wheels from locking.

G WARNING

When braking the front wheel abruptly therear wheel can lift up. You could be thrownover the handlebars in the process. Thereis a risk of an accident.

RBrake the ebike with the front and rearbrake at the same time.

RMove your body's centre of gravity to therear when braking abruptly.

The smart ebike is equipped with hydraulicdisc brakes which will bring you to a stand-still quickly and safely, if required. Discbrakes respond more quickly than rimbrakes, in particular on wet roads.

A hydraulic disc brake builds up a highbraking effect with only minimal handstrength. To distribute braking force toboth wheels, use both brakes at the sametime. The pedal assistance of the electricmotor is interrupted by braking the frontbrake (or if you stop pedalling).

i Please be aware that your smart ebikedoes not have a coaster brake.

If you are not yet familiar with the brakingeffect of hydraulic disc brakes, first carryout some test braking manoeuvres on ahigh-grip surface away from traffic.

Avoid continuous braking. On long down-hill stretches, brake with both brakesbriefly but firmly. When you intermittentlyrelease the brakes they can cool downagain. Stop at the first signs of overheat-ing.

Symptoms indicating overheating include:

Rincreased hand strengthRthe build up of odoursRloud scraping noises

Let the brake system cool down before rid-ing on.

Wet conditions reduce the braking effectand lead to the tyres skidding more easily.On wet roads, allow for longer braking dis-tances, ride more slowly and brake care-fully.

Braking with the disc brakes

X To brake with the front brake: pull theleft3 brake lever.There is a sensor installed in the brakehandle for the front brake which switchesthe electric motor to energy recupera-tion when the front wheel is braked(Y page 28). In this way the electric motoralways simultaneously brakes the rearwheel, even if generator mode isswitched off. The level of the brakingforce on the rear wheel depends on thespeed and cannot be modulated. Excep-tion: if the battery is fully charged therear wheel is not braked simultaneously.

i Adopt an anticipatory riding manner totry and avoid abrupt braking. If possibleonly brake the ebike through energyrecuperation. If you only pull the brakelever for the front brake gently, theebike brakes friction-free throughenergy recuperation alone.

X To brake with the rear brake: pull theright4 brake lever.

With disc brakes the pressure point mustbe immediately stable. If the pressurepoint has not been reached after two thirdsof the travel, pull the lever several times(pumping), until the pads come into contactwith the disc. If the pressure point shifts

during the tour then the brake system mustbe bled at a qualified specialist workshop.

i Pressure point: each brake has a cer-tain amount of free travel at the brakelever. Once this free travel is overcomewith limited hand strength, the brakesgrip and the pressure point has beenreached. If the brake is correctly set andbled, increased hand strength increasesthe braking power with minimal brakelever travel.

Brake system wear

The brake pads and brake discs wear as aresult of friction. The more often you ridein mountainous terrain and through rain ormud, the greater the wear.

The smart ebike brake system has fullyautomatic brake pad compensation. Thisbalances out the brake pad wear andensures that the pressure point remains thesame always.

The wear on the brake pads (Y page 48) andon the brake discs (Y page 48) cannot beevaluated from the brake lever and musttherefore be checked before every tour(Y page 48). Have worn brake padsreplaced at a qualified specialist work-shop.

Bedding in new brake pads

New brake pads must be bedded in until theyreach their optimum deceleration per-formance. To do this, accelerate your ebikeapprox. 30 – 50 times to about 30 km/h(19 mph) and brake to a standstill When therequired hand strength for braking no lon-ger reduces then the bedding-in process iscompleted.

Charging the battery


G DANGER

High voltage is used to charge the battery.You could get an electric shock if the powercable or mains socket is damaged, wet ordirty. There is a risk of fatal injury.

ROnly use the charger supplied to chargethe battery.

Notes on the charger

i The charger supplied is suitable for avoltage range of 100 - 240 V. The chargerdoes not need to be switched to the rel-evant voltage range as it automaticallydetects the voltage range.

The charger has no on/off switch. If you donot require the charger, disconnect theplug to save energy.

Notes on the battery

! A deep battery discharge causes irre-versible damage and capacity loss. If youdo not use the battery for longer periods,charge the battery fully at regular inter-vals and at least every 6 months.

Please follow the instructions below toguarantee a long battery life:

Rideally, charge the battery at a roomtemperature of 20 † (68 ‡). Beforecharging, give the battery sufficienttime to reach this temperature.Ravoid frequent full discharges. The bat-

tery prefers partial discharges. Lithiumion batteries do not have memory effect.Rbrief discharges with subsequent

charges can cause an inconsistencybetween the charge indicator and thebattery charge level. After approx-imately 30 charges, allow the battery tocompletely discharge and then re-chargeit. This will allow the charge indicatorto be periodically calibrated to the bat-tery charge level.

Every lithium-ion battery is subject tooperational wear. Cell oxidation occurs asa result of use and ageing. The batterycapacity decreases. The typical lifespanof a lithium-ion battery is between2 and 3 years, regardless of whether it isused or not.

Belt drive


G WARNING

If you install or handle the drive beltincorrectly, e.g. if you bend or twist it, youmay cause damage that is not visible fromoutside. This type of damage to the drivebelt can cause it to tear unexpectedly,causing you to slip off the pedals. There isa risk of accident and injury.

RHandle the drive belt with utmost careand follow the instructions for use.

RHave a damaged drive belt replacedimmediately at a qualified specialistworkshop.

When handling the drive belt, avoid:

Rkinking it in any directionRtwisting itRturning it inside outRreverse bendingRtying or binding it up with cable ties or

cordRusing it as a toolRmounting the drive belt by applying ten-

sion with a lever or by turning the footpedal

Your smart ebike is fitted with an innova-tive drive belt, the Carbon Drive belt. It isa virtually maintenance-free system thatdoes not require re-tensioning or lubri-cating when fitted and handled correctly.

Handle this product with the utmost care toavoid damaging the carbon fibres embed-ded into the belt.

Carbon fibres can withstand high tensilestress, but are sensitive to bending loads,shearing force, nicking and impact. Eventhough the belt's carbon fibres aresheathed, it is still extremely importantto handle the Carbon Drive with care.

Incorrect handling results in damage to thecarbon fibres inside the drive belt. Thistype of damage to the drive belt can causethe belt to tear suddenly under load duringa ride.

Never use a drive belt that has been dam-aged.

Riding in ice and snow

G WARNING

The belt pulleys can become clogged whenriding the bike on ice and snow or clay mud.

This can cause the drive belt to skip or slipoff and become damaged. This type of dam-age to the drive belt can cause it to tearunexpectedly, causing you to slip off thepedals. There is a risk of accident andinjury.

Do not ride the ebike on surfaces that arecovered with snow, ice or mud.

Tyres and wheels

Notes

G WARNING

The water jet from a high-pressure cleanercan cause damage to the tyres or drive beltthat is not visible on the surface. Compo-nents damaged in this way can fail unex-pectedly. There is a risk of an accident.

Do not use a high-pressure cleaner whencleaning the ebike. Have damaged tyres ordrive belt replaced without delay.

The tyres establish the contact with theroad surface. They provide grip and trac-tion and, depending on the tyre pressure,absorb small bumps.

Although the wheels of your smart ebike aremanufactured with great care and deliv-ered trued, this does not prevent the spokesfrom losing tension on the first kilome-tres. For this reason, you should regularlyinspect the tension of the spokes and havethem re-centred by a smart dealer.

Tyre pressure

G WARNING

If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly,inspect the tyres for foreign objects. Checkwhether the tube or the valve is leaking.Ifthe tyre pressure is too low, the handlingcharacteristics of the ebike may beimpaired and could cause you to fall. Thereis a risk of an accident.

RAlways replace a damaged tube.

RBefore mounting a new tube, remove allforeign objects from inside the tyre.

Check the tyre pressure regularly, at leastevery 14 days. Only correct tyre pressureswhen the tyres are cold. The pressure ofwarm tyres should only be corrected if it istoo low for the current operating condi-tions. Warm tyres always have higher pres-sures than cold ones.

The tyre pressure changes by around10 kPa (0.1 bar, 1.45 psi) for every 10 † (50‡) change in ambient temperature. If youmeasure the tyre pressure in enclosedspaces where the temperature differs fromthe outside temperature, you will have tocorrect the measured value accordingly.When the ebike is ridden, the tyre temper-ature, and with it the tyre pressure, willincrease depending on the speed and theload on the tyres.

Always check the tyre pressure with suita-ble measuring equipment, e. g. a standpump with a manometer. As your smartebike's tyres are fitted with robust punc-ture protection made from plastic, you can-not check the pressure simply by pressingdown on the tyre with your thumb.

Tyre pressure specifications can be foundin the "Technical data" section(Y page 70).

The ebike rims are designed for tubes withSclaverand valve :. Once you have checkedthe tyre pressure or inflated the tyre,tighten knurled nut ;.

Make sure that a valve cap is always used toprotect valve =.

Flat tyre

If possible, always replace the tube(Y page 70) after a puncture. This ensuresthe optimum trueness of your wheels.

Transporting the ebike

! When transporting the ebike, make surethat no objects can become caught in theCarbon Drive belt. The Carbon Drive beltis particularly at risk when you trans-port the ebike with other bicycles orwith the rear wheel removed.

Please observe the following informationto avoid damaging your ebike duringtransport

X With the wheels removed: slide the yellowtransport locks into the brake callipers.

X Pull on the brake lever and fasten it tothe grip using a strong elastic band or acable tie.

X Once you have removed the wheels, placeor lay them down carefully to prevent thebrake discs from becoming bent or dirty.

X After storage or transport upside down:check the operation of the brake systemand if in doubt, have the brakes bled at aqualified specialist workshop.

X Remove the battery before transportingthe ebike (Y page 41).

X Place the rubber cap over the electricalcontacts in the battery holder.

X Before transporting the ebike on a vehi-cle's rear rack or roof carrier, removeany accessories that are not permanentlyattached to the ebike, e.g. control con-sole, smartphone and mesh pockets.

i It is not permitted to carry the smartebike battery on board a passenger aero-plane.

The weight of the ebike and the framedesign place specific demands on a vehi-cle's rear rack or roof carrier. Unsuitablebicycle racks may break during a journeyor may not hold the ebike securely.

Only use suitable bicycle racks for trans-porting the ebike. Observe the informationon roof load and noseweight in the vehicleOwner's Manual and the information in thebicycle rack's assembly/operatinginstructions.

Useful information



Tyres and wheels

Tyres

The approved tyres have been speciallydesigned for pedelecs. The use of any othertype of tyre may result in increased rollingresistance and consequently in a reducedrange. Furthermore, handling character-istics, resistance to flats and noise may beadversely affected.

Therefore, when replacing the tyres,ensure that the new tyres are of the sametype and size with a suitable tread. If indoubt, contact your nearest smart dealer.

The reflective strips on the tyre sidewallsreplace the spoke reflectors in accordancewith legal requirements.

Observe the direction of rotation when fit-ting a tyre. An arrow on the tyre sidewallindicates the direction of rotation.

Further information on tyres and wheelscan be found in the "Operation" section(Y page 44).
