Informaon

This indicates useful informaon regarding handling of the product.

Important informaon!

The manual for your Sormo ProCargo CT1 is revised regularly to ensure

its validity. This manual reects the knowledge base at the me of

going to press. We therefore recommend that you visit our website at

www.mysormo.com/procargo to familiarise yourself with any changes.

The latest manual can also be downloaded here in PDF format.

1. Your vehicle

The Sormo ProCargo CT1 is a pedelec11, which is a bicycle that assists the rider

with an electric motor. This assistance is adapted via a control which evaluates the

data from three sensors22 and regulates the motor based on the selected level of

assistance. The electric motor switches o when a speed of 25 km/h is reached.

However, you can ride faster than 25 km/h on your own without electric motor

assistance.

In Europe, the pedelec is legally classed as a bicycle33. It does not have to be

approved and does not require an insurance plate. The rider does not require a

licence. For your own safety, we recommend that you wear a suitable helmet

and protecve glasses at all mes.

The maximum climbing performance of the vehicle is dependent upon various

parameters, including cargo load, tness of the rider and charging status of

the baery.

With a fully charged baery and rider in good condion, climbing performance is

ancipated as follows: 18 % (80 kg rider without load) to 7% (100 kg rider + 140 kg

cargo load).

This climbing performance is reduced with charging status of the baery < 30%.

1.1. Intended use

Your Sormo ProCargo CT1 is designed to carry one person and load on asphalt

roads and fored paths through woods and elds. The cargo loads are approved

as follows:

Rider weight: 100 kg

Cargo loading area: 140 kg

1 Pedal Electric Cycle

2 Sensors: Speed, cadence, torque

3 Regulaon 168/2013, arcle 2, (2) h)

Your vehicle

8 9

The ProCargo CT1 is considerably longer and wider than a convenonal

bicycle.

-> Inially, manoeuvring your ProCargo CT1 should be pracsed in a

locaon relavely free of trac, as described in the following secon,

-> Switching the light on during travel will allow other road users to

gauge the size of the ProCargo CT1.

Please check your country specic requirements concerning lighng devices and

decide which passive re ectors are necessary to be mounted.

1.2. Tilng

The lng system installed on the ProCargo CT1 will ensure impressive agility at

greater travel speeds. Tilng system can be blocked via foot lever for parking (and

loading) and to facilitate the starng procedure.

Blocking the lng system:

Push the lever all the way down with the foot.

Blocking engages when the vehicle is

fully erected.

Unblocking the lng system:

Actuate the hand lever with one nger.

The vehicle should not be manoeuvred faster than walking pace with

the lng system blocked.

-> Disengage blocking of the lng system when starng o !

Familiarise yourself with the lng system of the ProCargo CT1 in an area with mini-

mal trac. Pracce without load to begin with, and then connue with load added:

• Block the lng system with the foot lever.

• Commence movement, and at the same me disengage blocking of

the lng system with the hand lever.

The ProCargo CT1 is not designed for the following:

• Transportaon of a person on the loading area (transportaon of a child

in suitable seang possible, refer to 1.5 „Fing of accessories“)

• Race/compeon use

• Cleaning with a water jet

• Charging of the baery outdoors in wet condions

• Use of a trailer

Intended use is further limited by:

• the safety informa on in this manual

• the „Technical specicaons“ chapter in this manual

• the road trac regulaons valid for the respecve country of use

• the road trac licensing regulaons valid for the respecve country of use

Use of the cargo bike is not recommended for the following user groups:

• People with limited physical, sensory or intellectual capacies

• People who cannot operate the vehicle safely due to their physique

If you increase the maximum assistance speed from 25 km/h by tuning,

the vehicle is no longer classed as a pedelec, but rather a small moped.

Tuning may result in negave consequences in a variety of legal areas.

For example, accidents with a tuned pedelec will not be covered by

personal liability insurance.

-> Please refrain from tuning.

Rotang parts such as wheels, sprockets, cranks or pedals can draw items

of clothing, items being carried or even body parts into the mechanism.

If you slip o the pedals, your foot could get tangled in the spokes.

This can cause serious accidents!

-> Wear close-ng clothing.

-> Wear shoes with a at sole which provides good grip.

Your vehicle Your vehicle

10 11

We recommend starng o with a higher assistance level in order that a

stable speed is more quickly aained.

Please be aware that the possible lng is technically limited, even

with disengaged lng system. Once this limit has been reached, a curve

can not be traversed any more acutely.

-> Familiarise yourself with this limit range on an open area with no

other trac

In an unloaded condion, the axle load is minimal on the front wheels.

The front wheels are blocked extremely quickly with heavy front braking.

Front wheels blocked in curves will lead to understeer, the vehicle slides

forwards in a direct line.

-> The rear brake should be predominantly applied in an unladen

condion and the front brakes applied only tentatvely.

1.3. Safe loading

The following principles should be observed when loading:

• Ensure a stable posion of the vehicle during loading. Lock the lng

system and one or both holding brakes as required.

• Maintain a low centre of gravity

for the load. If several items

are being placed on the loading

area, always place the heavier

items at the boom.

• Secure the cargo. Use the

appropriate ProSafe Rail with

the matching one and approved

accessories. Only allowed

Sormo lashing straps with

clamp buckle.

PROSAFE

Loads which are permied to move freely around the loading area can

lead to accidents. -> Secure the load with lashing strap(s).

Do not secure the lashing straps onto parts of the steering/lng system,

as this could impair funconing of the steering/lng system.

The loading area or other parts of the vehicle must not become

misshapen as a direct result of lashing straps.

1.4. Scope of delivery

• Baery charger

• 2 keys for frame lock/baery lock

• Transport locks for the Tektro brake discs

• Bosch hazardous goods box for shipping the baery

• Two yellow spoke reectors for the rear wheel

• Manuals of select component manufacturers

1.5. Installing accessories

Mount only approved and tested for the ProCargo CT1equipment.

The required accessories can be obtained from your Sormo partner or in the

online shop of Sormo under mySormo.com/ProCargo.

2. Inial set-up

This chapter explains how to get your ProCargo CT1 ready for the road.

• Firstly, you should inate the tyres. The recommended air pressure

can be obtained in secon 3.1.

• We recommend adjusng the saddle height rst (2.1), and then

the handlebar height accordingly (2.2).

• If necessary, the brake locking must be released prior to commencing

inial travel, refer to secon 4.4.

Your vehicle Your vehicle

12 13

2.1. Adjusng the saddle height

The saddle height is a decisive inuenal factor on eciency of the power you

exert on the pedelec.

Saddle height is correct when your leg is almost

straight with the ball of your foot on the pedal.

The crank arms are thereby aligned vercally.

Block the lng system when checking the

saddle height to prevent toppling.

To change the saddle height, proceed as follows:

• Connue to loosen the seatpost clam-

ping screw with an Allen key unl it is

possible to adjust the saddle height.

• Then ghten the screw with a torque of

5-7 Nm using the Allen key.

The seatpost clamping screw is ghtened suciently when the seatpost

can not be turned or when it no longer slides down into the seat tube

under your weight.

If you pull the seatpost out too far, the

upper part of the seat tube may sustain

damage which could lead to breakage.

There is a risk of accident or injury!

-> Pull out the seatpost unl the

marking for minimum inseron depth

is only just visible.

2.2. Adjusng handlebar height

The ProCargo CT1 is equipped with a stem adjustable in height. In the delivery

condion, the stem is screwed into its lowermost posion (-20°). The height of the

stem can be increased by up to 11.5 cm by adjusng the angle of the stem

(max. angle 60°). To adjust the height of the stem, proceed as follows:

• Connue to loosen both screws marked

in red unl it is possible to turn the

stem.

• Set the desired angle and note the

dierence in angle.

• Tighten the screws marked in red once

again with 14-15 Nm.

In the second step, the handlebar must also be

turned around this dierence in angle in the

opposite direcon, indicated by the right-hand

semicircular arrow:

• Loosen all 4 screws on the clamping plate of the stem unl it is possible

to turn the handlebar.

• Turn the handlebar around the dierence in angle opposite to that noted.

• Reghten all 4 handlebar clamping screws of the stem with 6 Nm.

2.3. Removing/installing the baery

Removing the baery:

• Ensure that the system is switched o.

• Turn the key around a quarter of a turn

in the lock while at the same me pping

the baery out of the upper holder.

• Li the baery out of the holder.

Installing the baery:

• Place the baery with the contacts on the lower holder and lt it into the

• upper holder so that it clicks into place.

2.8. Bedding in the disc brakes

When delivered, your brake system inially exhibits only a weak braking acon

as the surfaces of brake disc and brake pads have not yet been bedded in.

For your new pedelec, as well as following replacement of brake disc and brake

pads, the disc brakes should be bedded in as follows:

• Accelerate the vehicle to approx. 25 km/h

• Decelerate to a standsll using both brakes (avoid locking of the brakes)

• Repeat this procedure unl a sasfactory improvement in braking acon

is eected. Repeat this procedure according to brake manufacturer

Tektro 30-40 mes.

In an unloaded condi on, the axle load is minimal on the front wheels.

The front wheels are blocked extremely quickly with heavy front braking.

Front wheels blocked in curves will lead to understeer, the bike slides

forwards in a direct line.

-> The rear brake should be predominantly applied in an unloaded

condi on and the front brakes applied only tenta vely.

3. Before every ride

3.1. Checking the tyres

Air pressure:

Schwalbe prescribes 2-4 bar as the permissible pressure range for both tyres.

With a maximum cargo load of 240 kg, all 3 tyres should be inated to 4 bar.

The pressure may be reduced for lighter loads.

We recommend that you check the pressure weekly as connuous

pressure loss is inevitable for bicycle inner tubes.

If the tyre pressure is too low, the risk of snakebite punctures increases.

The result of a snakebite puncture is a  at tyre.

A tyre damaged by cracks or entrenched foreign objects may lead to a

loss of pressure. There is a risk of accident!

-> Check for cracks or foreign objects in the tyre.

Inial set-up

2.4. Switching the drive on/o

Press the On / O buon on the Purion to

switch on the system.

Alternavely, you can also turn on the

drive by pressing the buon on the

baery. This method also works if the

buon cell in the Purion is empty.

2.5. Adjusng the assistance level

To increase the assistance level, press the „+“

buon on the Purion unl the desired assistance

level appears in the display.

To reduce the assistance, press the „–“ buon

2.6. Switching the light on/o

Hold the „+“ bu on of the Purion pressed

(1 to 2.5 seconds) unl the light is switched on.

Hold the „+“ bu on of the Purion pressed longer

(more than 2.5 seconds) to switch o the light.

2.7. Push-assistance

The push-assistance helps you to push the

pedelec a maximum 6 km/h (the highest rao

of the NuVinci gear hub, otherwise accordingly

slower). This is acvated by successively pressing

the „Walk bu on“  and the „+“ buon .

3.2. Checking steering and  lt kinema cs

Perform three tests prior to commencing travel:

1) Blocking of lng system and unlocking must be fully funconal

2) Steering and lt must exhibit freedom-of-movement without restricon

• Block the lng system and turn the handlebar to both sides.

• Disengage the lng system, hold the handlebar securely in the travel

posion and p the pedelec to both sides.

• Ensure that both movements can be performed without restricon.

Should this not be possible, inspect the front secon of the vehicle for any

objects which may be impairing lng/steering of the vehicle and remove

them accordingly.

3) Steering must funcon without play

• Block the lng system with the foot lever.

• Push the bike against a wall with both front wheels and lock the brakes

of the front wheels.

• Now turn the handlebar. If play is clearly evident in the steering

transmission, please consult the Sormo Service Team.

3.3. Checking the brake system

• Perform a brake test at a standsll prior to every ride. In this regard, pull

the brake lever towards the handlebar with two ngers and normal braking

force. The brake lever should not come into contact with the handlebar

grip, and the brake must be capable of blocking the wheel.

• Move the ProCargo CT1 back and forth with the brake applied.

• No signicant play should be evident. Idenfy the cause of any play

determined.

• For hydraulic disc brakes, the pressure point on the brake lever must be

stable. If the pressure point is not reached aer two-thirds of the lever

stroke, pull the lever several mes in succession („pumping“). Check

whether the pressure point sens. If so, and if the locaon of the

pressure point moves during travel, the brake system must be bled by

Sormo Service Team or by a qualied specialist workshop.

• The brake discs must be free of oil. Any oil evident on the brake discs

can be removed with alcohol.

The pressure point is dened as the posion of the lever stroke at which

the brake responds. If the brake is working perfectly, i.e. there are no air

bubbles in the hydraulic line, the pressure point will be at the same lever

posion for each braking procedure.

Do not touch the brake discs with your hands. The thin lm of oil on

your skin transfers to the brake discs and temporarily impairs the braking

force.

3.4. Checking the drive belt

The Gates Carbon Drive is a maintenance-free, durable system. Nevertheless,

the following points must be considered

• Are there any foreign objects between socket and belt?

• If yes: Remove immediately.

• Is the belt heavily contaminated?

• If yes: Rinse clean with water.

3.5. Baery: Ensuring secure xing and charging status

Ensure that the baery is securely xed in the lock and assess whether the charging

status is sucient for your planned journey.

3.6. Checking the screw ngs

Ensure that the threaded axle is securely ghtened on the rear wheel and that the

following parts can not be turned:

• Saddle

• Seatpost

• Handlebar

• Stem

3.7. Checking the lights

Headlight so that other road users do not become blinded by the glare.
