3. Initial operation
3.1 Unpacking
After its production, your e-bike has gone through comprehensive quality
and safety checks. However, for shipping the handlebar must be twisted
to the transport position and the pedals must be removed. Thus, the
handlebar must be adjusted, and the pedals must be installed before the
first ride.
The following points must be carried out with utmost
care and all screws have to be fastened with the
necessary torque (chapter 10 on page 83).
Danger of accident!
Should you have bought your e-bike at one of our dealers, the following
operations will have already been carried out for you:
1. If you received your e-bike in its packaging, please ensure that the
arrows on the box are pointing upwards.
All delivery companies are required to ensure that the
i
arrows on the box are always pointing upwards during
transport. Make sure to check for dirt stains, scratch marks
etc. on the upper side of the box, maybe indicating an
upside-down transport.
Attention! If necessary, ask a second person for help to lift
!
the e-bike out of the box.
2. Should there be any signs of incorrect handling, please do not hesitate
to contact Schindelhauer Bikes or one of our dealers and have your
e-bike checked for any possible transport damage.
3. After you have taken your e-bike out of the box and have familiari-
sed yourself with the manual, carefully remove all cushioning and
packaging materials.
Before setting up the e-bike for its initial operation switch
off the Mahle Ebikemotion eBike System. This prevents
risk of injury by an unintended start of the system and
moving parts of the drive train.
