(right) or L (le). The R pedal goes on the chain-
wheel side and the L pedal goes on the non-chain-
wheel side.
2. Tighten the pedals with the 6 mm hex key Pedals

Pedals need to be tight so make sure you put some
force into it. Expect resistance only at the end of the
thread, if the pedal is hard to thread in from the be-
ginning then the threads must be inspected.

Power on the bike
Just press the power buon on the power panel,
located on the le side of the bike. The bike is
already fully charged when you receive it.
Charging the bike is like charging a laptop. Just con-
nect the bike with a standard wall power outlet (110–
240 V AC) and hook the magnetic charger plug to the
charging socket located on the power panel and let it
to charge.
Once the led on the charger turns from red to green
it has been fully charged. It takes about 2.5 hours
from drain to full.
Ampler charger will automatically stop charging when
the baery is full. There is no risk of overcharging the
baery when you forget to unplug it.

For your protection, please read carefully “Charger
safety manual” chapter below before operating the
Ampler baery charger.
The power buon also acts as a baery charge moni-
tor. The led colours according to the state of charge.

10–50% Transition from red to yellow
50–75% Transition from yellow to green
75–100% Green
To turn the lights ON and OFF, hold the power buon
for 1–2 seconds. You can turn the lights on/off also
from your Ampler mobile app.
The bike will remember the last seing, so the lights
will be ON when you leave them on next time you
power the bike.
The bike has two standardized assist modes:
• Normal (1)–25 km/h, 250 W, 100% (max assist
speed, motor power, assist level)
• Boost (2)–25 km/h, 250 W, 150% (max assist speed,
motor power, assist level)
To switch between the assist modes, hold the power
buon down for 3–4 seconds, until it turns orange.
Aer releasing the buon, it will blink ONCE if it
changes to Normal Mode (assist mode 1) or TWICE if
it changes to Boost Mode (assist mode 2).
You can fully customise the assist modes with the
Ampler Bikes app under the ‘Vehicle seings’.

Maintenance
Bicycles are technical yet sensitive creatures that
need a lile bit of love, aention and care every now
and then. Maintaining your bicycle regularly will keep
it riding (and riding well) for a lot longer and will give
you more range compared to a bike which has empty
tires and running brakes. It’s a lot like maintaining a
car–you check some things on a daily and you take it
to professional service for a check-up and mainte-
nance aer a certain number of kilometres.
Take care of your bike and have the bike maintained
regularly in every 3000 km or at least once a year. The
actual needed maintenance interval can vary depen-
ding on your riding habits, road quality and weather
conditions.
Maintaining your Ampler bike is just like maintaining a
regular bicycle and all professional bike shops can
carry out the maintenance of our bikes.
• Cleaning your bike will help to quality and keep the
dirt and dust from geing into the engine and bot-
tom bracket.
• Use soap, water and a variety of sponges and brus-
hes to thoroughly clean the bike
Clean your bike regularly
9/16
V1.1, 24.04.19
• The power panel of the bike is washable and water-
proof. Now and then clean (non-metallic tool) and
lubricate the charging port with a multi-purpose oil
(for example multi-spray).
• Avoid using pressure washers, as the pressure dri-
ven water will get dirt, sand and dust particles in-
side tiny compartments, causing rust and problems
later down the line.
• Check the tyre pressure regularly. You can always
check the recommended tires pressure noted on
the side walls of the tires.
• Keeping the tires inated to the recommended
pressure will keep the baery range high, protect
the rim and tire from damages.
• Look out for tire wear. Depending on how and where
you ride your bike, the tyres can wear at a different
pace. If you see that the tread looks worn out,
change your tyres.
• If it gets icy, get some winter tyres–we can give you
some suggestions for which ones work best the
different models.
• Check the chain tension– if it has slackened over
time (it looks saggy), get it adjusted. If you feel you
are not right for the job, you can easily get it done in
your local bicycle shop.
• Replace he chain before the wear is reached to 0,75%
• Making sure your chain is lubed will prevent unex-
pected and premature wear to the drivetrain.
• If the chain feels a lile dry, clean it with a rag and
then add some chain lubricant. Spin the pedals
around a couple of times to spread the lubricant
evenly.
• A carbon belt drive does not need any oil, however
needs to be cleaned aer riding in dirty conditions
with water. You can apply a thin coating of dry sili-
cone spray to the tooth side of the belt if necessary.
• Avoid using the lubricant on brake pads, rotors or
rims. Spray is not recommended, use liquid oil.
• Check the brakes regularly– they should be cleaned
and adjusted.
• Over time the disc brakes get less efcient at
breaking. To stay safe, get your brakes inspected,
serviced and changed if necessary by a professional

workshop.
• Squeezing your brakes down should feel solid and
consistent– the lever should not touch the handle-
bar. If you feel that your brakes aren’t effective, get
a professional to check them out.
• Take a good look at the brake pads on your bike
every few weeks to see how they are holding up.
There shouldn’t be any dirt or oil on the pads. Oen
times, the brakes will make a howling noise if the-
re’s oil on them.
• Check the brake hoses for wear and tear–if you can
see that the house is crumbling or broken in any
place, get it checked immediately by a professional.
• Aer rst couple of weeks check the bolts and nuts.
If there is too much play in the bolts, tighten them
up a lile bit and see if you can identify the cause
of the looseness. Don’t tighten the bolts too far.
• Re-tighten the bolts on the handlebar if needed.
• Check the crank bolts (8 mm hex key, not included),
tighten them if needed.
Re-tighten the pedals, using the key that came with
the bike.
• Re-tighten the boom bracket eccentric bolts.
• If you’re not riding and charging your bike consistent-
ly, charge it every ve–six week or so to maintain the
state of the baery. Due to Bluetooth the bike has a
lile power consumption even when switched off.
• Do not keep the bike in blazing sun or freezing cold
over the extended period if it is not being used.
• Store the bike in a dry place over the winter – it
doesn’t need to be heated, however below 0 is not
recommended.
• Charging the baery should take place indoors (ab-
ove 0 degrees) or/and in dry environment. Do not
keep the charger outside.
Beware that when you bike in the cold, the range
and baery capacity will be lower than average. This
is completely normal, and it won’t affect the bae-
ry’s overall state or lifespan.
• When you nish cycling in the cold, make sure that
the bike has time to warm up a lile before you
charge it.
