WHAT IS AN EBIKE AND ITS CONSTRUCTION PARTS
EBike is like any other bike equipped by electric motor, control unit and battery. Motor has a role of a helper that
helps the rider to pedal and provides comfort. In general the motor can be activated only if the rider turns the cranks
actively himself thus is he pedalling. The crank motion is scanned by a special sensor placed in bottom bracket.
Maximum speed of an eBike with motor assistance is approximately 25 km/h. As soon as this speed is reached the
motor switches off automatically and you continue riding just like any another bike. If your battery becomes flat or your
electric motor is switch off you can use the eBike as a standard bicycle using your own power without any resistance.
Motor can be started using the control button or accelerator, however solely to maximum permitted speed 6 km/h. This
function is called walking assistant and is useful by taking off, walk or other manipulation with eBike. Reaching higher
speed is impossible without rider´s active endeavour.
From the Road traffic law point of view is every E-bike matching with all attributes the European norm EN 15194-1
treated as a regular bicycle. There is no need of driving licence, without any worries you can use it on bicycle paths
and cycling helmet is obligatory only up to the age of fifteen. Nevertheless we do recommend using the cycling
helmet to all E-bike users without difference.
1 Battery can be placed on down frame tube, behind the seat tube or in the carrier. 2 Only on eBikes with LCD or TFT display.
3 Motor is either middle motor or in rear/front wheel. 4 Brake levers with switch are used only on eBikes with mechanical brakes.
Technical specification of Apache eBike:
Nominal motor performance 250W
Voltage of electric system 36 V
Operating temperature 0 / +40 °C
Storage temperature -10 / +50 °C
Protection class IP 54 (protection from dust and splashing water)

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR USE OF eBIKE
IMPORTANT
Before every ride check the brakes functionality and battery charge status.
During the ride on eBike always use cycling helmet!
Riding an eBike
Riding eBike is just like on any other bike. Just push and set off from the ground and pedal. The motor activates
itself after the crank spinning and operates further according to mode of assistance setted up.
In case of using the brakes the motor switches off automatically. This does not apply to the models with hydraulic
disc brakes whose levers are not equipped by all appropriate sensors. The motor by such models switches off
within two seconds after you stop pedalling.
As soon as you reach speed of 25 km/h the motor automatically switches off and reactivates when the speed
drops again below this limit.
The motor does not operate when you do not pedal or turn the cranks backwards.
Long-lasting ride with low rotation speed and high assistance mode can cause an overheating
and in case of high load motor damage even. At such case we strongly recommend to reduce
the assistance mode.
Regardless the selected gear it is suitable to stop pedalling shortly during the gear change.
That simplifies the gear change and reduces the wear of the motor.
Function of the eBike can be affected by external electromagnetic impacts
(e.g. radars, radio-locators, etc.).
RECOMMENDATION
After every ride connect the battery to the charger and let it charge. The battery doesn’t have
memory effect therefore it’s not required to discharge it completely before recharging.
RECOMMENDATION
In case of any problems with switching to lower or higher gear we
recommend additional installation of “Gear sensor’’ that shortly
disconnects the motor during the gear change. The gearing does not
happen during full motor engagement which saves the motor itself
and all transmission components.

level 0 is without the motor assistance.
In case of ride with low rotation speed and high assistance mode the motor can vibrate for
a short term. In that event we recommend to reduce the assistance level immediately.
Off-road mode (only series E3)
To enter off-road mode select the assistance mode 5 and press button . The assistance mode indicators
starts to display flashing digit 6. To confirm it press again button .
