Congratulations on your new electric bicycle!
Your electric bicycle is a bike with electric pedal assistance.
This means that you can pedal it as a normal bike, or that the bike can assist you in your pedaling.
The electric bicycle will assist you when you are pedaling. The amount of assistance depends on
the force you exert on the pedals.
RIDE+ bicycles come in two classes: Pedelecs and Fast Electric Bikes.
• P edelecs assist up to a speed of 25 km/h. This class is legally considered a bicycle,
• F ast Electric Bikes assist at higher speeds. This class is legally considered a lightweight moped.
This manual covers the following bikes, both pedelecs and fast class
• D erailleur/Roller Brakes,
• D erailleur/Rim (Magura, V-brakes) or disc brakes.
The electric bicycle differs only slightly from a non-electric bike.
The following parts are specific to an electric bicycle
• T he motor,
• The battery pack in the rear rack or on the down tube,
• T he controller on the handlebars or on the clamp in front of the handlebars.
