ASTM CONDITION 2,

General Purpose Riding.

What is an EBike?

Electric bikes, also known as “EBikes,” are

bicycles equipped with an electric

pedal-assist drive system. An EBike IS NOT

a moped or motorcycle. EBikes share

components common with pedal-only bikes.

What is a Drive System?

The drive-assist system consists of a drive

unit, a battery, a computer control, and

various electronic components (harness

wires, sensors, and switches). There are

many dierent drive-assist systems for

diering uses and bike types. Likewise there

are various drive-assist system

manufacturers (Shimano, BOSCH, Bafang,

Yamaha, etc.)

How does the Drive System work?

It is important to know that when the

drive-assist system is turned ON, the drive

unit engages to provide power only while you

are pedaling.

The amount of power provided by the drive

unit depends on your pedaling force and on

the assistance mode/level you set with the

handlebar control unit. At anytime, if you

stop pedaling, the drive-assist will dis-

engage.

In all modes/levels, the drive-assist system

power reduces progressively and cuts o as

the bike reaches the maximum allowable

speed. The drive-assist re-engages when

speed drops below the maximum allowable

speed as long as the pedals are turning.

Whenever the drive-assist system is turned

OFF, you can pedal the bike normally. The

drive system will not engage.

Understand your bike, its drive-assist

system, and the intended use of both.

Using your bike the wrong way is

dangerous.

Please read your Cannondale Bicycle

Owner’s Manual for more information

about Intended Use and Conditions 15.

Servicing

This supplement may include procedures

beyond the scope of general mechanical

aptitude.

Special tools, skills, and knowledge may

be required. Improper mechanical work

increases the risk of an accident. Any

bicycle accident has risk of serious injury,

paralysis, or death.

To minimize risk we strongly recommend

that owners always have mechanical

work done by an Authorized Cannondale

Dealer.

Safety Information

Compliance/Regulation

138670 Rev 1 (02/21)

Compliance/Regulation

YOU MUST OBEY ALL LOCAL LAWS & REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS - It is your

responsibility to identify and to follow all local laws and regulations necessary for legal

compliance. Compliance with local regulations is critical to the safety of the rider and of

others where the bike is used.

Here are some important speciﬁcations related to compliance with local laws:

VEHICLE CLASS - A deﬁnition (California, USA) of the dierent types of EBikes, EBike

labeling, and legal use areas, including any required additional equipment, registration, and

applicable rider age restrictions.

VEHICLE CATEGORY - A deﬁnition of the European Union of the dierent types of an EBike,

who may use them and where they may be used, necessary additional equipment such as

lighting and signaling devices, as well as any necessary insurance and licensing.

OBSERVE MINIMUM OPERATOR AGE - Follow any national, state, or local laws for any

minimum age restrictions for the operator of the EBike.

Ask your local Authorized Cannondale Dealer for more information about operating an

electrically assisted pedal bicycle in your area.

Safety Information

Operation

Always wear an approved bicycle helmet and all other protective gear (e.g., gloves, pads, and

cycling shoes).

Importance of practice & rider training - before you ride this bike, practice riding in a safe area

free from hazards. Take time to learn the bike’s controls and performance. Practice the

controls and to gain the experience necessary to avoid the many hazards you will encounter

while riding.

Do not ride “hands-o - Keep your hands on the handlebars when riding the bike. If you

remove your hands from the handlebar while riding, you can lose control of the bicycle and

crash.

Changing the assistance level while riding: Changing the drive-assistance level while riding

will increase or decrease the acceleration of the bike. You should anticipate this change in

speed and react appropriately depending on the riding conditions such as on slippery trails,

tight turns, or unstable or uneven surfaces. Set assistance level to “eco” (lowest assist) or to

“o” before descending technical trails, (e.g., tight downhill switchbacks).

When not riding: Turn the drive system o to prevent unauthorized use.

Do not ride the e-bike without the battery. Make sure the battery is fully charged before

every ride to help ensure adequate battery power for necessary lighting and for the drive

system.

Do not remove any lighting or reﬂectors and do not ride if they do not work.

Do not allow children to operate or to come into contact with the e-bike or with its parts.

Only turn the drive system on when you are seated ready to ride.

Accidental activation: Always disconnect the battery from the bike before working on the

bicycle. If you transport the bike by car or by airplane, obey local regulations regarding

transporting a bicycle with a drive system battery. Accidental activation of the bicycle drive

system can result in serious injury.

continued from previous page...

Wired system control: If the drive system control device is detached from the mount or if the

cables are disconnected or damaged, the drive system will automatically shut o. If this

happens, you will have to stop the bike, turn the system o, re-attach the computer to the

base, and then turn the system back on to resume operation.

Wireless system control: In wireless control systems, the operation of the drive system is

controlled using radio frequencies without physical attachment. Therefore, ON/OFF activation

is determined by software programming. Please consult the manufacturer’s instructions for

information on preventing accidental activation or on restarting the drive system in the event

of a recovery from a drive system fault.

Your insurance policies - Your insurance policies (e.g., liability, property, and injury) may not

provide coverage for accidents involving the use of this bicycle. To determine if coverage is

provided, you should contact your insurance company or agent. Also, make sure your speed

e-bike is insured and registered according to the local laws.

Ride sensibly and safely around others - the application of power by means of the electric

motor assist means that riders can reach high speed. Riding faster increases the risks of

serious accidents.

Watch out for other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and animals where you ride. Always

operate under control and at a safe speed. Others may not be aware of you. It is your

responsibility to anticipate and to react to avoid accidents.

E-bikes are heavier than ordinary bikes - always park the bike in a suitable safe area away

from children, from cars or from animals that may come into contact with it. Park the bike so

that it cannot fall over and possibly result in injuries.

Do not ride into or attempt to ride through water or to submerge any part of the bike. If you

ride through water you can lose control of the bike or the drive-assist system can become

disabled or damage.

You can be severely injured, paralyzed, or killed in an accident if you ignore these warnings.

Commuting

EQUIPMENT  Any bicycle, including an

EBike, must be properly equipped for

commuting including any legally-required

lights, signals, and registrations. Ask your

Authorized Cannondale Retailer if

commuting is within the scope of your

bike’s intended use and if your bike is

properly equipped for commuting.

DANGERS  Operating an E-bike as a

commuting vehicle is no less dangerous

than operating an ordinary pedal bike or

automobile. EBikes are certainly not

designed to protect you in a crash. Do not

assume the bike or its drive capability will

protect you or keep you from being

involved in a serious accident.

NIGHT RIDING- Riding at night on an

EBike or on a pedal-only bike is very

hazardous.

Read the topic “Riding at Night” in your

Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual for

more information on the many hazards of

riding at night.

You must operate with a very high degree

of awareness and precaution to only

reduce the risk of death or serious injury.

No Modiﬁcation

DO NOT MODIFY THIS BICYCLE/DRIVE

SYSTEM IN ANY WAY FOR ANY REASON.

Doing so can result in severe damage, in

faulty or in dangerous operating

conditions, or in violation of local laws.

Dealers and Owners MUST NOT change,

alter, or modify in any way the original

components of the bicycle or drive-assist

system (e.g., the speciﬁed sizing of the

gear ratios, i.e., the front chainrings and

rear cogs).

Attempts to “hot-rod” or to “improve” the

speed of the bike are dangerous to the

rider. Use only speciﬁed Cannondale and/

or manufacturer drive-assist service and

replacement parts.

Trailers or Child Carrier or

Child Seats

DO NOT ATTACH A TRAILER, CHILD

CARRIER OR CHILD SEAT TO THIS

BICYCLE.

Attachment of a trailer or child seat to

this bicycle can result in a serious

accident leading to serious injury or

death.

Please read “Child Carriers” in your

Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
