1.0 Introduction
Welcome and congratulations on buying your new A2B Hybrid/24*, the electric bike that’s taking transport in a whole new direction. It’s the
new revolutionary way to get to work, pop to the shops or just get some fresh air. Compared to jumping in the car, an ebike is a lot more
fun, easier to park and will reduce your fuel costs as well as your impact on the environment... as you’ll soon find out!

competition events.
• We recommend that you always wear an approved cycle helmet
at all times and light or fluorescent clothing at night when riding

Owner`s manual
3.2 Changing components or adding accessories
Before installing any component or accessory, including a different
tyre, make sure that it is compatible with your A2B by checking with
your A2B dealer.
Read, understand and follow the instructions that accompany the
component or accessory you purchase for your A2B.
As with all mechanical components, the bicycle is subjected to
wear and high stresses. Different materials and components may
react in different ways to wear or stress fatigue. If the design life
of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail possibly
causing serious or fatal injuries to the rider. Any form of crack,
scratches or change of colouring in highly stressed areas, such as
frame, fork and handle bar, indicates that the life of the component
has been reached and it should be replaced immediately by an A2B
dealer.
Failure to confirm with compatibility, proper installation,
operation and maintenance components or accessories can result
in serious or fatal injury.
Using non-genuine components or replacement parts may
compromise the safety of your A2B and void the warranty.
If you change components or add accessories, you do so at
your own risk because A2B may not have tested that component or
accessory for compatibility, reliability or safety on your A2B.
3.3 Brake lever adjustment
Can you comfortably operate the brakes? If not, take your A2B to
an A2B dealer and ask them to adjust the angle of the brake levers.
Alternatively, follow the instructions below to adjust the brake lever
angle:
1. Loosen the bolt underneath the brake lever with an appropriate
allen key.
2. Adjust the angle to suit.
3. Tighten up the bolt underneath, ensuring the brake lever is firmly
fixed in place.
Should you need to adjust the brakes themselves, please take
your A2B to an A2B dealer to make the required adjustments.

3.4 Adjustment of the seat height
The seat height may have to be adjusted. Please ask your A2B
specialist dealer to adjust the seat height before your first tour.
You may also adjust the seat height on your own as indicated below:
Determination of the correct driver's seat height
There are several ways of determining the correct seat height; the
method which can be carried out without any further auxiliary means
is described in the following: Sit on the saddle and stretch one leg.
Put your foot's heel on the pedal which is on the lowest point of the
crank turn. Your knee should now be almost straightened.
If you are sitting straight on the saddle while having this position,
the saddle's height is correct.
Of course, you then do not drive with legs stretched. If you put your
foot on the pedal while having the correct driving position (ball of
foot and metatarsophalangeal joint above the pedal axle), the knee
will remain slightly angled also on the lowest point of crank turn if
the saddle height has been adjusted correctly.
A short test ride is recommended to find out if the saddle is too high.
If the pelvis tilts to the right and the left in the rhythm of pedalling, the
saddle is too high. If the saddle is too low, you will usually find it out
only after many kilometres through pain in the knees.

Height adjustment
1. The seat height can be adjusted by loosening the quick release
for the saddle post.
2. Position the saddle at the desired height. Do NOT position the
saddle higher than the minimum insertion mark located on the
saddle post BY NO MEANS.
3. Push the lever of the quick release towards the frame, until it will
be closed again. The lever must not stick out to avoid danger
of injuries. The lever is safely attached if you must use efforts
to push it into the closed position. The efforts are appropriate if
the lever leaves a mark on the palm of your hand when pressing.
A properly closed quick-release cannot be moved anymore
unless it is reopened as specified above. If you can move the
mechanism slightly, open the lever of the quick release, turn the
adjusting nut by another 180° and try again.
4. After height adjustment, check if the saddle cannot be moved in
any direction.
An improperly attached saddle may lead to severe or even
fatal injuries. Ensure that the saddle clamp screw (saddle
post - saddle) has been tightened using 27 Nm.
• This user manual does not express any guarantee as to the
safe use of the A2B under all conditions.
