THE SPARC SYSTEM

WHAT IS SPARC 16V

No matter whether you encounter

headwinds, rain or hills, with Sparc

as your backup you will always have

the upper hand. Sparc, the new light

electric drive with TwinDrive, gives

you that extra boost whenever you

need it.

Sparc was designed and built to

make life easier and more pleasant

for cyclists. Sparc is a solution that

does not change the character of

the bicycle – its light weight,

features, simple maintenance and

comfort ideally complement modern

lifestyles. Its user-friendliness and

superior help function make Sparc

the No. 1 product on the market.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Sparc allows cyclists to choose

between two supplementary drive

options. By simply pressing a button

on the control unit mounted on the

handlebars, you can toggle between

the fast SPEED mode and the ECON

mode, which offers increased range.

RANGE

Depending on the mode selected,

Sparc allows a range of action of

25 – 40 km (15 – 25 miles). This means

increased mobility with little effort.

The range achieved by a single

battery charge depends on various

factors. These include drive mode,

the condition of the battery, the road

conditions and particularly the

cyclist’s own effort.

Motor drive

Average speed 20 km/h in the plain

SPEED mode

ECON mode

using a 28-inch wheel and assuming

75-watt input by the rider.

(US version: SPEED = 15 miles, ECON = 25 miles)

OPERATION

The bicycle can be ridden with or

without the help of the electric

drive. Riding without the help of your

Sparc is like riding any ordinary bike

and requires no extra effort.

When the system is switched on,

you start off as usual. The electric

drive actively supports you whilst

you pedal.

» ECON mode works up to a speed of

approx. 20 km/h (US version 16 mph).

» SPEED mode works up to a speed of

approx. 25 km/h (US version 20 mph).

Once these speeds are reached, the

electric drive switches off and you

continue under your own muscle

power. Reducing speed causes the

system to come on again.

Please charge the battery

before your first trip.

Set the mode required, ECON

or SPEED. The system only

becomes active once the bicycle

moves.

In SPEED mode the red light

gleams.

The condition of the battery is

indicated by 3 green lights.

OPERATION

When only 1 green light gleams, the

battery needs to be recharged.

STANDBY MODE

Your Sparc system has an energy

saving feature.

Approximately 1 minute after you

stop using the system it will auto-

matically switch off and the lights

on the control unit will go out.

When you continue, the electronic

system will automatically come on

again.

5-GEARSHIFTING

A 5-gear hub shift is integra-

ted into the Sparc system. You shift

gears by turning the right twist-grip

on the handlebars through positions

1 to 5.

» Whilst shifting gear continue

pedalling without exerting force.

» If the desired gear does not

engage immediately, briefly stop

pedalling.

» When approaching inclines shift

down in good time.

» You can also shift gears when the

bike has stopped.

Your Sparc bicycle is not for

children!

» Only switch on the Sparc system

when you want to travel on your

bicycle.

» Always switch off the Sparc

system before you stand your

bicycle upside down or hang it up,

also before you carry out cleaning

or maintenance work.
