Elops 900E

Dear Cu󰘵omers,

Thank you for purchasing a B’TWIN electrically-assi󰘵ed bike. It will introduce you to the joys of travelling

on 2 wheels for your leisure, it will be the mo󰘵 practical and economical way for you to get around in

town and will allow you to burn calories to keep 󰘰t.

We invite you to read this in󰘵ruction manual to get the mo󰘵 out of your B’TWIN electrically-assi󰘵ed

bike.

Never forget that an electrically-assi󰘵ed bike is not a moped. It needs your help to go further, fa󰘵er and

longer.

We sugge󰘵 that you learn how to use your electrically-assi󰘵ed bike in an open area in order to get used

to the feel of the motor kicking in and thus ensure optimum control of your bicycle.

Only use sport mode for your 󰘰r󰘵 kilometres if you are sure that you are able to control your bike.

Here are the 10 commandments to get the be󰘵 use of your B’TWIN electrically-assi󰘵ed bicycle.

Electrically assi󰘵ed bicycles are heavier than classic pushbikes. Without assi󰘵ance, pedalling can be

harder.

You mu󰘵 always make sure you are capable of riding the entire journey without assi󰘵ance, in case your

battery runs 󰘱at.

Important, this in󰄋ruction manual only applies to the electrical characteri󰄋ics of your bicycle.

You mu󰄋 refer to the B’TWIN user guide and warranty in󰄋ructions that are shared by all of our

bikes and which are provided with this document. They can also be found on our website at

www.btwin.com or reque󰄋ed at our DECATHLON 󰄋ores.

General operation of the electrical assi󰄋ance

The electrically-assi󰘵ed bike can be used with or without assi󰘵ance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Always lock the battery with the key when in use. The

electrical assi󰘵ance will only operate if you pedal. The assi󰘵ance will switch o󰘯 the moment either of the two brake levers is depressed or the speed reaches

more than 25 km/h. It will then re󰘵art automatically when below 23 km/h. In order to preserve battery life, the bike is equipped with a «power» limiter that li-

mits assi󰘵ance when the motor is under heavy 󰘵rain. During intensive use and in exceptional weather conditions, the assi󰘵ance may switch o󰘯 to safeguard

the entire sy󰘵em.
