The Urban Arrow Family/FamilyNext e-bike
The Urban Arrow Family/FamilyNext bike is an e-bike. The bike is intended to be used on a regular paved surface and the tires are intended to maintain ground contact. The bike contains an electrical drive unit that assists you up to a speed of 25 km/h when riding. As soon as you push on the pedals the assistance is switched on and it switches off as soon as you stop pedalling or when you have reached a speed of 25 km/h. The e-bike has multiple different assistance levels and a number of gears for an optimal driving experience. The bike can also be ridden as a normal bicycle (no assistance) and has a push assistance mode in which the e-bike can be pushed at low speed without pedalling.
Your Urban Arrow bike comes with a bench mounted inside the box and two sets of seat belts. This bench provides enough room for two young children. The bench will also fit one adult. Adults will not be able to use the seat belts.
Check the local regulations to learn about possible restrictions with regard to transport of passengers on a bike.

3.
Safety
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference.
Warning
When you cycle with a damaged front fork it can cause the front fork to break during riding. This may lead to loss of control of the bike. Always have your bike checked by your Urban Arrow dealer in case the front fork of your bike was hit or your bike ran into an object with the front wheel.
Children may only use the e-bike and all its components under supervision or after having been instructed by a responsible person. Otherwise, there is danger of operating errors and injuries.
Supervise children during use, cleaning and maintenance of the bike. Don't let children play with the charger. Keep the battery out of reach of children. Risk of electrical shock.
Entrapment danger. Cutting danger. Crushing danger. Potential risk of serious injuries. Don’t let children play with the bike or parts of the bike. Pay special attention to spinning wheels and to the brake rotors.
Do not open the electrical drive unit yourself. Opening of the electrical drive unit can cause leakage of water into the drive unit, which may lead to malfunctioning of the electrical drive unit. The electrical drive unit must be repaired only by qualified experts and only with original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the electrical drive unit is maintained. Unauthorized opening of the electrical drive unit will void warranty claims.
Prevent accumulation of snow and ice between fenders and tires and around the belt drive. Risk of belt breaking.
Riding in wet and snowy weather will effect cornering and braking negatively: adjust your riding style and brake earlier.
Riding after dark and with reduced visibility can be dangerous so switch on your lights in time. Reflectors are no substitute for lights.
Never make any modifications to your electrical drive unit or fit any other products which would be suitable for increasing the performance of your e-bike. This normally reduces the lifetime of the system and risks damage to the electrical drive unit and the bike. If you handle the system improperly you also endanger your safety and that of other road users, thus run the risk of high personal liability costs and possibly even criminal prosecution in the event of accidents attributable to manipulation. There is also a risk you loose the guarantee and warranty claims on the bike you have purchased.
Always use original Bosch batteries approved by your Urban Arrow dealer. When you use other batteries, Urban Arrow shall not assume any liability and warranty. The use of incorrect batteries can cause short circuiting and/or overheating which may lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.
Use the battery only together with e-bikes that have an original Bosch electrical drive unit. This is the only way to protect the battery against dangerous overload.
Never open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting which may cause burns or a fire. When you open the battery voids any and all warranty claims.
Protect the battery against heat (e.g. prolonged sun exposure) and fire. There is a risk of explosion. Never store or operate the battery near hot or flammable objects.
Never submerge the battery in water or clean using a jet of water. Danger of short-circuiting which may pose a fire hazard.
Keep the battery not being used away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery-pack terminals together may cause burns or a fire. For short-circuiting damage caused in this manner, any and all warranty claims through Bosch shall be invalid.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause skin irritations or burns.
Place down the battery only on clean surfaces. In particular, avoid soiling the charge socket and the contacts, e. g. by means of sand or soil. Danger of short-circuiting which may pose a fire hazard.
Never attempt to charge or use a damaged battery. There is a risk of explosion. Always contact your Urban Arrow dealer when your battery is damaged.
Keep the charger away from rain or moisture. The penetration of water into a battery charger increases the risk of an electric shock.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead to danger of an electric shock.
Never operate the battery charger on easily inflammable surfaces (e. g., paper, textiles, etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the battery charger during the charging process can pose a fire hazard. Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery charger. Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric shock. Never open the battery charger yourself. Contact your Urban Arrow dealer when your battery charger is damaged.
A sticker in English is adhered to the bottom of the charger (marked 31 in the diagram on the graphics page). This says: Use ONLY with BOSCH lithium-ion batteries. Follow this instruction.
When using the on-board computer with Bluetooth® and/or WiFi, interference can occur with other devices and equipment, aircraft and medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, hearing aids). Likewise, injury to people and animals in the immediate vicinity cannot be excluded entirely. Do not use the on-board computer with Bluetooth® in the vicinity of medical devices, petrol stations, chemical plants, areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere or on blast sites. Do not use the on-board computer with Bluetooth® in aeroplanes. Avoid using the on-board computer near your body for extended periods.
Do not allow yourself to be distracted by the on-board computer's display. If you do not focus exclusively on the traffic, you risk being involved in an accident. If you want to make entries in your on-board computer other than switching the assistance level, stop and enter the appropriate data.
Caution
Batteries must not be subjected to mechanical impacts. There is a risk that the battery will be damaged causing vapors to escape. The vapors can irritate the respiratory system. Provide for fresh air and seek medical attention in case of complaints.
The battery may give off fumes if it becomes damaged or is used incorrectly. Provide a fresh air supply and seek medical advice in the event of pain or discomfort. These fumes may irritate the respiratory tract.
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power supply must correspond with the data given on the nameplate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V. When the main voltage is too high the battery will be damaged.
Please observe the operating and storage temperatures of the e-bike components. Protect the electrical drive unit, display and battery against extreme temperatures (e.g. from intense sunlight without adequate ventilation) and reflection of sunlight coming from energy-efficient glass. The components (especially the battery) can become damaged through extreme temperatures.
4.
Before first use
On delivery of your bike the battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the charger before using for the first time. See paragraph 7.2. how to charge the battery.
Prior to your first ride your bike needs to be fit in an optimal way. In this chapter we explain how this should be done.
4.1.
Bike fit
Adjust the saddle height and handlebar position according to your personal preference in order to ride your new bike in an optimal way.
Tips for an optimal setting (see image 4):
Don’t put the handlebar too low or too far away. Leaning too much forward will put stress on your lower back and wrists.
When adjusting the saddle height your feet (not just the toes) should touch the ground while seated on the saddle.
When positioning your foot on the pedal at its lowest point your knee should be slightly bent.
It is common for an Urban Arrow bike to be ridden by more than one rider. In that case adjusting the seat post height to the correct height is more critical than adjusting the handlebar height.

|
4.1.1.
Saddle height adjustment
The height of the saddle is adjusted as follows:
1.
Open the seat post quick release P located on the seat post clamp. The seat post will now sit loose in the frame (see image 5).
The seat post clamp should remain in place. There is no need to slide it off the frame or to take it off completely.
2.
Put the saddle at the required height. Pay attention to the following:
In case you have a suspension seat post: The indication on the seat post (a line of vertical stripes) should never be visible. When you extend the seat post beyond the minimum insertion mark the seat post can break during cycling, which may lead to loss of control of the bike.
3.
Close the seat post quick release completely by pushing it against the seat post clamp (see image 7).
Is the seat post able to turn in the clamp when the lever is closed or are you not able to close the seat post quick release? Then the clamp force needs to be adjusted. Adjust the clamp force as follows:
1.
Open the seat post quick release P .
2.
Adjust the clamp force:
a.
Turn the adjusting screw opposite the lever a few turns clockwise to make the clamp tighter.
b.
Turn the adjusting screw opposite the lever a few turns counter clockwise to make the clamp looser.
3.
Close the seat post quick release completely by pushing it against the seat post clamp.

|
4.1.2.
Handlebar/stem adjustment
The handlebar position can be adjusted according to your personal preference. Adjusting the angle of the stem will change the handlebar height and the distance between the rider and the handlebar.
The angle of the stem can be adjusted as follows:
1.
Turn the two stem angle bolts a few turns counter clockwise to loosen it (see image 8A). There is no need to rotate the bolt any further.
Use a 5mm Allen key.
2.
Adjust the angle of the stem fl to the required setting.
3.
Turn the bolts clockwise to tighten it.
The angle of the handlebar can be adjusted as follows:
1.
Turn the 4 handlebar bolts I a few turns counter clockwise to loosen it (see image 8B). There is no need to rotate the bolt any further.
Use a 4 mm Allen key.
It could be that you have a version that only has 2 handlebar bolts. Use a 5 mm Allen key in that case.
2.
Adjust the angle of the handlebar to the required setting.
When a range is indicated on the side of the stem: Always stay within the range indicated on the side of the stem while adjusting (see image 10). When you adjust the stem to a position out of this range the stem might break during cycling. This may lead to loss of control of the bike.
3.
Turn the bolts clockwise to tighten it.
The bolt should be tightened to the correct torque. Overtightening could lead to the bolt breaking, not tightening the bolt enough could lead to slippage of stem and bars (they could move when you ride over a bump for instance). A confident home mechanic should be able to judge the correct torque by hand. Check appendix A for the correct torque values.
4.
Sit on the saddle and face forward. Rotate the grips to optimise the angle of the brake levers ‹ and † .
The angle of the brake levers is set correctly when the brake levers visually disappear behind the grips. (see image 11).
Always check the angle of the brake lever after you change the stem angle. Change the angle of the grips if necessary. When the brake levers have an incorrect position it is more difficult to exert force, which may lead to reduced break performance.

4.2.
Adjusting the suspension fork
Only applicable for the Urban Arrow FamilyNext e-bike.
The suspension fork is precisely adjusted from the factory. Adjust the suspension fork slightly to increase or decrease the stiffness if desired.
The stiffness of the suspension fork can be adjusted as follows (see image 12):
Loosen the suspension adjustment counterclockwise to decrease the stiffness.
TIghten the suspension adjustment clockwise to increase the stiffness.
Make sure the suspension is evenly adjusted to prevent a difference in stiffness between the springs.

|
4.3.
Setting up the lights
The rear light is fixed in the correct position and does not need to be adjusted. For optimal visibility the front light should be set up correctly (see image 13). It can be tilted up and down. This allows for the light beam to be projected closer or further away from the bike. Ideally the beam should be aimed the furthest you can see it on the ground.
Never set up the front light in such a way that the beam is pointing upward. This can cause upcoming traffic to be blinded after which they may loose control over their transportation device and cause an accident.

Depending on the operating system of the smartphone, the app can be downloaded via the Apple Store or the Google Play Store for free. Follow the instructions in the app to connect the smartphone.
Changing the support level
The support levels can be adjusted within certain limits via the eBike Flow app. This gives the opportunity to adjust the eBike to your personal preferences.
Activity tracking
To register activities, a registration or login is necessary in the eBike Flow app. To save the registration of activities it is necessary to accept the saving of location data. Only then your activities can be registered in the app. You must be logged in as a user to register the location data.
Software updates
Software updates can be manually started via the eBike Flow app. The software updates will be transferred from the app to the control unit on the background, as soon as the app is connected with the control unit. During the update, the battery charge indicator flashes green to indicate the progress. Then the system is restarted
4.5.1.
eBike Lock
eBike lock blocks the drive unit digitally, so no one - except you - can get pedal assistance. This function works via the Bluetooth® connection on your smartphone.
Turning on and setting up the eBike Lock function can be done with the eBike Flow app. Once turned on, sound signals can be heard when turning on and off the eBike Lock. As long as the eBike Lock is active after turning on the e-bike (for example, when no connection can be established with the smartphone), the LED Remote flashes white.
The eBike Lock settings can be adjusted via the eBike Flow app. This way, the eBike Lock can be turned off (temporarily). For example, during service or when lending the bike. The acoustical lock-sound signal can be deactivated as well. When someone else takes over the bike, delete the eBike from the user account in the eBike Flow app in the 'Settings' menu.
When you lose your smartphone, you can unlock the bike by logging in via another smartphone using the eBike Flow app and your user account. For this, a new Bluetooth connection must be established between smartphone and bike.
Contact your dealer when setting up or turning off the eBike Lock is not possible.
Make sure that the eBike Lock is turned off before the bike is loaned out or taken to the dealer for service.
eBike Lock is not a theft protection, but an addition to a mechanical lock. With eBike Lock there is no mechanical blocking of the bike. Only the drive unit support is deactivated. As long as the smartphone is connected to the eBike via Bluetooth®, the drive unit is unlocked.

Getting ready to bike
5.1.
Gathering first experience
It is recommended to gather first experience with the e-bike away from roads with heavy traffic. Test the operating range of your e-bike under different conditions before planning longer and more challenging rides. Also try out the different assistance levels and take some time to understand the gear hub.
When you first start using the e-bike it is recommended to start in low gear and assistance level ECO or TOUR.
The motor output depends on the amount of your pedalling power and the settings of the assistance level on the display. In general:
Applying less pedaling power means lower assistance or support.
Applying a lot of pedaling power means higher assistance or support.
As soon as you feel safe, you can participate in traffic with the e-bike as with any other bicycle.
When you hit an object with your bike it can cause damage to the front fork and the front wheel. Always be careful when your ride against and over kerbstones. Adjust your speed.
Be careful when touching the disc brakes after heavy use. They can get very hot.
It is recommended that the rider uses a bicycle helmet.
5.2.
Influences on the operating range
The operating range depends on many factors, such as:
Assistance level,
Gear switching behavior,
Bicycle tyres and tyre pressure,
Model, age and condition of the e-bike battery,
Route profile (inclines) and road or path conditions (road or path surface),
Head wind and ambient temperature,
Weight of the e-bike, rider and equipment/luggage.
For this reason, it is not possible to precisely predict the range before and during a trip. General rules:
For the same motor output of the electrical drive unit: The less power or force you have to bring about to reach a certain speed (e.g. through optimal use of the gears), the less energy the electrical drive unit will consume, and the greater the range of your e-bike battery.
The higher the assistance level under otherwise same conditions, the lower the range.
5.3.
Safety check before every ride
To ensure your bike is safe to ride please check the following safety points before every ride (see image 14). These are quick checks to avoid mechanical malfunctions. Don’t use the bike if your bike fails on any of the points and you are not able to solve the issue following the instructions in this manual. Contact your Urban Arrow dealer to discuss the problem.

Turning the bike lights on and off
Your e-bike has a front and rear light. It is advised to have your lights turned on at all times, also during the daytime. The increased visibility to other traffic will increase your safety.
Never cover the reflectors or the lights during cycling. It can cause poor visibility in traffic which may lead to collisions and/or accidents. Always contact your Urban Arrow dealer when one of the reflectors is missing to arrange replacement. Always contact your Urban Arrow dealer when the lights stop working or do not turn on using the described method.
Your lights will not turn off when the battery is empty. They will continue to work for many hours after the electric assistance stops. You will have enough time to get home safely when the battery drains during a ride.
In this paragraph we explain how to turn on the lights. This depends on the type of display on your bike.
Turning on the lights with the Kiox display is done as follows:
1.
Press and hold the + button • to turn on the lights of the e-bike.
Switching the bike light on and off has no effect on the back lighting of the display.

Changing settings during biking
There are a few settings that can be changed while driving, being: shifting the gears, changing the assistance level and switching the push assistance mode on and off. When standing still a number of display functions can be reset. In the following paragraphs we explain how you can change the above mentioned settings.
6.1.
Shifting gears
6.1.1.
Shifting gears manually
Adjusting the gears settings is done as follows:
1.
Shifting to a lower gear (before riding away or riding uphill) by turning the grip shifter « continuously variable clockwise (see image 30).
Selecting a lower gear will put less stress on the drive train and you will gain speed more quickly.
When you have a grip shifter with grip indicator the image on the grip indicator « changes from a bicycle on a (more) flat surface into a bicycle on a hill (see image 30).
2.
Shifting to a higher gear (when riding fast or riding downhill) by turning the grip shifter « continuous variable counter clockwise (see image 30).
When you have a grip shifter with grip indicator the image on the grip indicator « changes from a bicycle on a hill into a bicycle on a (more) flat surface (see image 30).
Shifting gear while standing still is possible but only within a limited range. Resistance will increase until it isn’t possible to rotate the lever any further. Don’t apply unreasonable force to rotate the lever beyond this point. Once the bike starts rolling you can shift through the whole range of the gear hub again.
Independent of the type of gearing, it is recommended to briefly interrupt the pedalling while changing gears. This makes changing gears easier and reduces the wear of the drive train.
Selecting a lower gear riding away from a stop will reduce strain on the drive train components and increases the operating life of your bicycle. Selecting the correct gear will also affect the range of your battery positively.

Don’t connect the e-bike battery permanently to the charger.
Don’t store the e-bike battery on the bike.
Store the e-bike battery in a dry, well-ventilated location. Protect the battery against moisture and water. Under unfavorable weather conditions, it is recommended e.g. to remove the battery from the e-bike and store it in an enclosed location until being used again.
When the e-bike battery is stored discharged (empty) for longer periods, it can become damaged despite the low self-discharging feature and the battery capacity may be strongly reduced.
Temperature
The e-bike battery can be stored at temperatures between –10 °C and +60 °C. Take care that the maximal storage temperature is not exceeded. As an example, do not leave the battery in a vehicle in summer and store it out of direct sunlight. For a long battery life storing the e-bike battery at a room temperature of approx. 20 °C is of advantage.
8.
Cleaning and maintenance
Be aware that the display can activate itself when the e-bike is pushed backwards. When you press the on/off button on the activated display the electrical drive unit could switch on. Remove the battery from the e-bike before you begin work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, maintenance, work on the chain, etc.) on the e-bike, transport it by car or plane, or store it. Unintentional activation of the electrical drive unit poses a risk of injury.
8.1.
Cleaning
Keep all components of your e-bike clean, especially the battery contacts and corresponding holder contacts. Clean them carefully with a soft, damp cloth.
All components including the electrical drive unit may not be immersed in water or cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner.
The foam box used on the Family/FamilyNext model is made from a sturdy foam material called EPP (Expanded Polypropylene). EPP insulates very well and has good wear and tear resistance. Regular bicycle maintenance or generic household cleaning products will not affect the material. Don’t use solvents.
Never submerge the e-bike battery in water.
Clean your bike in shorter intervals when you cycle on roads have been prepared with winter road salt. The road salt may cause damage to parts of your bike.
Never submerge the battery in water or clean using a jet of water. Danger of short-circuiting which may pose a fire hazard.
The gear hub and grip shifter are sealed and well protected from the external environment. However, never use water under pressure (such as pressure washers or water jets) when you clean these parts to prevent malfunctions due to water penetration.
Never use aggressive cleaners on any of the parts of your e-bike. This may cause permanent damage to the bike.
8.2.
Maintenance
8.2.1.
Speed sensor check
There are two types of speed sensors: a cabled speed sensor and a rim magnet that is integrated near the valve. Check whether you have the cabled speed sensor l or the rim magnet.
8.2.1.1.
Cabled speed sensor
In order for the speed sensor to function:
1.
The clearance between the speed sensor l and its speed sensor magnet z needs to be at least 5 mm, yet no more than 17 mm after a turn of the wheel (see image 36).
See later in this paragraph for information on how to adjust the clearance if necessary.
2.
The speed sensor needs to be connected properly.
Contact your Urban Arrow dealer in case the speed sensor is not connected properly.
|
|
|
Image 36: Distance between the speed sensor and the speed sensor magnet
|
The speed indication on your display will fail in case the speed sensor doesn’t function properly. The text error 503 will appear on the screen of your display.
Cycling remains possible when the speed sensor doesn’t function, but there will be no pedalling assistance as the electrical drive unit will be turned off automatically while functioning in this error mode.
Adjusting the clearance between the speed sensor magnet and the speed sensor is done as follows:
1.
Loosen the screw of the speed sensor magnet x by turning it counter clockwise.
2.
Position the speed sensor magnet z in such a manner that it runs past the mark of the speed sensor at the correct clearance (min. 5 mm, max. 17 mm, see image 36).
3.
Fasten the speed sensor magnet to the spoke by turning the screw clockwise.
In case the speed is still not being indicated in the speed indication, please contact your Urban Arrow dealer.
8.2.1.2.
Rim magnet
In order for the speed sensor to function:
1.
Hand-tighten the valve ring.
In case an error code appears, check if the rim magnet is present.
8.2.2.
Punctures
8.2.2.1.
Preventing punctures
There are ways to prevent punctures beside mounting puncture resistant tyres. Please check the following check-up and riding tips.
Check-ups
Check the surface of your tyres from time to time, running your hand or fingers over the surface. This way you might find sharp objects logged in the outer surface before they puncture the inner tube of your tyre. Be careful doing this with your bare hands.
Check the wear of your tyres. The tread of your tyres will become thinner over the distance, making it easier to be punctured.
Keep your tyres at the correct tyre pressures. Low tyre pressures will increase the chance of picking up dirt and debris. Low tyre pressures can also cause pinch punctures where the inner tube is damaged by being pinched between rim and tyre over bumps. For correct tyre pressures please check paragraph 5.4..
Riding tips
Avoid riding through potholes.
Avoid riding into train/tram tracks. The tyres are wide enough not to be caught by the track but your steering will be affected.
Avoid train/tram track in the wet. Don’t cross them at too parallel an angle. The track can be very slippery.
Avoid hitting curbstones at too high a speed. It may cause damage to your bike.
The side of the road is where dirt accumulates. Avoid riding there if there is room in traffic and the situation allows.
Have an eye on the road and drive around debris and dirt sitting on the road. Having a safe road position is more important though, don’t change direction without checking the traffic around you.
In case of a puncture don’t continue riding. There is a big chance you will damage the tyre, the wheel or even the frame. Dismount the bike and walk home.
Cycling with a punctured tyre can cause seriously reduced road holding which may lead to loss of control of the bike. Never continue cycling in case of a punctured tyre.
At home you can:
Fix the puncture yourself in case you have good access to the puncture: use a repair kit and follow the instructions that come with the repair kit.
Fix the puncture yourself in case you don’t have good access to puncture: remove the wheel from the frame and fix the puncture.
You need to be a confident and skilled home mechanic to remove and replace a wheel from the frame.
Contact a professional bike mechanic (preferably an Urban Arrow dealer) who can fix the puncture for you.
8.2.3.
Maintenance check
When you have your e-bike maintained/serviced by your Urban Arrow dealer all necessary maintenance will be performed by your dealer. But in between the maintenance you can perform the following checks yourself regularly to detect potential issues:
Check tyres for wear and damage: A worn tyre can be recognized by checking the tread pattern. If the pattern has disappeared in the middle of the tread (difference between lowered and raised material cannot be distinguished) the tyre is worn and should be replaced (see image 37). If you notice long or deep tears the tyre should be replaced even if the tread hasn’t worn out yet. Contact your Urban Arrow dealer for the correct spare part.
|
|
|
Image 37: Tyre wear
|
Check tyre pressure: Riding a too low tyre pressure damages the tyre. In the sidewalls tears will appear that cannot be repaired. Sometimes a few hundred km’s at too low pressure is enough to ruin the tyres. The correct tyre pressure is as follows:
Front wheel: 2.4-3.5 bar
Rear wheel: 3-4 bar
Wheel trueness : If a wheel is out of true it will wobble while spinning. You can check this by putting the bike on its stand and giving the wheels a spin (see image 38). If the wheel is spinning look at the rim and tyre separately. An incorrectly fitted tyre can also cause a wobble. A new wheel needs to settle and will require its trueness being checked more often. Contact your Urban Arrow dealer in case your wheel wobbles to have your wheel fixed.
|
|
|
Image 38: Checking the wheel trueness
|
Check the rim for damage. Damage can take the form of dents and cracks in the rim surfaces and around the spoke holes. Always check the rim after hitting a solid object or pothole at speed or after you rode with a flat tyre. A damaged rim may damage the tyre and could make the wheel go out of true. Contact your Urban Arrow dealer in case you detect rim damage.
Check play on the hub axle (see image 39). Hub bearings can develop play due to wear. Excessive hub play can affect brake performance, it can cause other mechanical problems as well as affect the handling of the bike. Contact your Urban Arrow dealer in case you detect play on the hub axle.
|
|
|
Image 39: Checking play on the hub axle
|
Check play on the steering linkage (see image 40): the steering input of the handlebar needs to be transferred to the front wheel. This action is provided for by the steering linkage. The linkage consists of a vertical head tube o and a horizontal head tube 40. The steering column is connected to the steering rod with hingeable pivot joint. The steering rod is linked to the front fork with a ball joint.
A malfunctioning steering linkage during cycling may lead to loss of control of the bike. This can potentially be fatal. Always contact your Urban Arrow dealer in case the steering linkage feels loose or encounters excessive resistance. Never continue to ride the bike when there is no response from the front wheel after you give steering input.
|
|
|
Image 40: Check play on the steering linkage
|
Check the wheels for damaged and/or loose spokes.
Check the brake hoses for damage and check if the brake hoses don't come in contact with moving parts of the bike.
Check if the suspension of the front fork works correctly and check if the front fork is properly secured.
Check if all bolts, nuts, and quick releases are properly tightened.
Check if the frame or front fork show no deformations, cracks, or damage.
Check the chain tension:
When you have a chain drive: wiggle the chain glider case so you can hear and feel whether the chain is still tight or not.
When you have a drive belt: the tension can be measured with the Gates Carbon Drive Mobile Apps, offered on both iPhone and Android. These apps can measure the belt tension in the form of natural frequency (Hz) of the belt span. Operating instructions are provided within each app. The belt tension for your Urban Arrow should be between 35 Hz and 50 Hz.
Prevent accumulation of snow and ice between fenders and tires and around the belt drive. Risk of belt breaking.
Check the Ahead steering set front fork for play: Stand next to the bike. Pull the front brake tightly. Push the bike forwards and backwards. If the bike moves there is Ahead steering set front fork play.
Always contact your Urban Arrow dealer in case of Ahead steering set front fork play. When you ignore headset play it can cause extra wear on the headset bearings and it can affect the handling characteristics of the bike in a negative way.
Check the lock rubbers for tears and/or cracks (see ‘R’ in image 41): damaged lock rubbers may cause the ring lock to (partly) come off the bike frame. Lock rubbers give the lock a certain flexibility to prevent a spoke from breaking in case you take a bike off its kickstand while being locked. Contact your Urban Arrow dealer to replace the damaged lock rubber(s) by a new one.
|
|
|
Image 41: Checking the lock rubbers
|
Contact your Urban Arrow dealer in the following cases:
If the chain audibly scratches the chain case. A chain will wear over time causing it to increase in length. Have your dealer adjust the chain tension.
If you feel there is excessive resistance caused by the chain case.
If the front wheel does not change direction when steering input (handlebar rotation) is given stop riding immediately and contact your Urban Arrow dealer.
If you detect play in the pedals or cranks, for instance if you can feel them move around during a pedal stroke.
If you notice a significantly reduced operating period after charging. The battery life can be prolonged when being properly maintained and especially when being operated and stored at the right temperatures. With increasing age, however, the battery capacity will diminish, even when properly maintained. A significantly reduced operating period indicates that the battery is worn out and must be replaced. You can replace the battery yourself.
If you see a wobble in the wheel. First make sure the tyre is seated correctly on the rim. If it is seated correctly ask your Urban Arrow dealer to repair the wheel.
As with all mechanical components, the e-bike is subjected to wear and high stresses. Different materials and components may react to wear or stress fatigue in different ways. If the design life of a component has been exceeded, it may suddenly fail, possibly causing injuries to the rider. Any form of crack, scratches or change of coloring in highly stressed areas indicate that the life of the component has been reached and it should be replaced.
8.2.4.
Disc brake adjustment
The hydraulic disc brakes on your e-bike are self-adjusting. Every time you brake the lever will readjust so you cannot tell brake pad wear from the lever. You can have your Urban Arrow dealer check the brake wear for you or you can check the pads of both the front and the rear wheel for wear yourself.
When the lever can be pushed easily all the way to the handlebar there is something wrong with the hydraulics. Stop riding the bike and have it checked by your Urban Arrow dealer.
If you hear suspect noises while using the brakes or have noise coming from the brakes while riding have your disc brakes looked after.
Checking the brake pads (of both the front and rear wheel) for wear is done as follows:
1.
A pin with a split end is keeping the brake pads in position. Use pliers to remove this pin (see image 42).
2.
Take out the brake pads (see image 42 for removal of the brake pads at the rear wheel) and check them for wear. If the friction material is less than 1 mm the pads should be replaced.
For replacement of the pads contact your Urban Arrow dealer.
|
|
|
Image 42: Removing the brake pads in order to check them for wear
|
8.2.5.
Gear adjustment
Over time the cable between the grip and the gear hub will lengthen slightly, this is normal wear. A slack cable might affect the quality of operation of the gear system.
Checking for cable slack is done as follows:
1.
Pull lightly on one of the two cable housings at the grip shifter. It doesn’t matter which one of the two, they are connected internally.
2.
Notice if there is any slack (see ‘S’ in image 43):
a.
Slack ‘S’ less than 0.5 mm is not enough.
Too little cable slack results in heavy shifting and damage to the shifter. Check the next alinea for information on how to increase the cable slack.
b.
Slack ‘S’ between 0.5 – 1.5 mm is perfect.
c.
Slack ‘S’ over 1.5 mm is too much.
Too much cable slack may cause decreased shift performance and shift cable durability. Check the next alinea for information on how to reduce the cable slack.
|
|
|
Image 43: Checking cable slack
|
Cable slack is adjusted as follows:
1.
Take a seat on the saddle and face forward.
2.
Adjust the cable slack setting (see image 44):
Reduce cable slack by turning the barrel at the grip shifter “ counter clockwise. The barrel will move away from the grip shifter.
Increase cable slack by turning the barrel at the grip shifter “ clockwise. The barrel will move towards the grip shifter.
|
|
|

When you have a chain drive: wiggle the chain glider case so you can hear and feel whether the chain is still tight or not. When you have a belt drive: the tension can be measured with the Gates Carbon Drive Mobile Apps, offered on both iPhone and Android. These apps can measure the belt tension in the form of natural frequency (Hz) of the belt span. Operating instructions are provided within each app. The belt tension for your Urban Arrow should be between 35Hz and 50 Hz.
Prevent accumulation of snow and ice between fenders and tires and around the belt drive. Risk of belt breaking.

De Urban Arrow Family/FamilyNext e-bike
De Urban Arrow Family-/FamilyNext-fiets is een e-bike. De fiets is bedoeld voor gebruik op een normale verharde ondergrond en de banden zijn bedoeld om contact met de grond te houden. De fiets bevat een elektrische aandrijving waarmee je tijdens het fietsen een maximale snelheid van 25 km/u kunt bereiken. Zodra je op de pedalen drukt, wordt de ondersteuning ingeschakeld en deze wordt uitgeschakeld zodra je stopt met trappen of wanneer je een snelheid van 25 km/u hebt bereikt. De e-bike heeft meerdere ondersteuningsniveaus en een aantal versnellingen voor een optimale rijervaring. De fiets kan ook als een normale fiets (zonder ondersteuning) bereden worden en heeft een duwondersteuningsmodus waarbij de e-bike met lage snelheid kan worden voortgeduwd zonder te trappen.
Uw Urban Arrow fiets wordt geleverd met een in de bak gemonteerd bankje en twee sets veiligheidsgordels. Dit bankje biedt voldoende ruimte voor twee jonge kinderen. Ook één volwassene past op het bankje. Volwassenen kunnen de veiligheidsgordels niet gebruiken.
Raadpleeg de plaatselijke voorschriften om te weten te komen of er beperkingen zijn voor het vervoer van passagiers op de fiets.
Raadpleeg de plaatselijke voorschriften voor de registratie en het gebruik van e-bikes op de openbare weg.

Veiligheid
Lees alle veiligheidswaarschuwingen en alle instructies. Het niet opvolgen van de waarschuwingen en instructies kan leiden tot elektrische schokken, brand en/of ernstig letsel. Bewaar alle veiligheidswaarschuwingen en instructies voor toekomstig gebruik.
Waarschuwing
Wanneer u met een beschadigde voorvork fietst, kan de voorvork tijdens het rijden breken. Hierdoor kunt u de controle over de fiets verliezen. Laat uw fiets altijd door uw Urban Arrow dealer controleren als de voorvork van uw fiets aangereden is of het voorwiel van uw fiets met een voorwerp in botsing is gekomen.
Kinderen mogen de e-bike en alle onderdelen ervan alleen onder toezicht of na instructie van een verantwoordelijke persoon gebruiken. Anders bestaat er gevaar voor bedieningsfouten en verwondingen.
Houd toezicht op kinderen tijdens het gebruik, reinigen en onderhoud van de fiets. Laat kinderen niet met het oplaadapparaat spelen. Houd de accu buiten bereik van kinderen. Risico op elektrische schok.
Gevaar op beknelling. Gevaar op snijwonden. Gevaar op pletten. Mogelijk risico op ernstige letsels. Laat kinderen niet met de fiets of met onderdelen van de fiets spelen. Let in het bijzonder op draaiende wielen en op de remschijven.
Open de elektrische aandrijving niet zelf. Het openen van de elektrische aandrijving kan leiden tot lekkage van water in de aandrijving, hetgeen kan leiden tot een slechte werking van de elektrische aandrijving. Reparatie van de elektrische aandrijving mag alleen door gekwalificeerde vakmensen en uitsluitend met originele reserveonderdelen worden uitgevoerd. Op deze manier wordt de veiligheid van de elektrische aandrijving gehandhaafd. Bij ongeoorloofd openen van de elektrische aandrijving vervalt de garantieaanspraak.
Voorkom het ophopen van sneeuw en ijs tussen de spatborden en banden rond de aandrijfriem. Risico op breken van de riem.
Fietsen op natte en besneeuwde wegen heeft een nadelig effect op het nemen van bochten en afremmen: pas uw rijgedrag dus aan en rem iets eerder.
Rijden in het donker of met slecht zicht kan gevaarlijk zijn, dus zorg ervoor dat u op tijd uw verlichting inschakelt. Reflectoren zijn geen vervanging voor verlichting.
Breng nooit wijzigingen aan in uw elektrische aandrijving of andere producten die geschikt zijn om de prestaties van uw e-bike te verbeteren. Dit verkort de levensduur van het systeem en bestaat het risico op beschadiging aan de elektrische aandrijving en de fiets. Bij verkeerd gebruik van het systeem brengt u ook uw veiligheid en die van andere weggebruikers in gevaar, waardoor u het risico loopt op hoge persoonlijke aansprakelijkheidskosten en mogelijk zelfs strafrechtelijke vervolging bij ongelukken die te wijten zijn aan manipulatie. Bovendien bestaat het risico dat u de garantie en garantieaanspraken op de door u gekochte fiets verliest.
Gebruik altijd originele, door uw Urban Arrow dealer goedgekeurde Bosch accu's. Bij gebruik van andere accu's gebruikt, aanvaardt Urban Arrow geen enkele aansprakelijkheid en garantie. Het gebruik van verkeerde accu's kan kortsluiting en/of oververhitting veroorzaken, hetgeen letsel en brandgevaar als gevolg kan hebben.
Gebruik de accu alleen in combinatie met e-bikes die een originele Bosch elektrische aandrijving hebben. Dit is de enige manier om de accu tegen gevaarlijke overbelasting te beschermen.
De accu nooit openmaken. Gevaar voor kortsluiting die brandwonden of brand kan veroorzaken. Als u de accu opent, vervalt elke aanspraak op garantie.
Bescherm de accu tegen hitte (bijv. langdurige blootstelling aan de zon) en vuur. Er bestaat explosiegevaar. Bewaar of gebruik de accu nooit in de buurt van hete of ontvlambare voorwerpen.
Dompel de accu nooit onder in water en maak de accu nooit schoon met een waterstraal. Gevaar voor kortsluiting die brandgevaar kan opleveren.
Houd de accu die niet wordt gebruikt uit de buurt van paperclips, munten, sleutels, spijkers, schroeven of andere kleine metalen voorwerpen die een verbinding kunnen maken tussen de ene pool en de andere. Het kortsluiten van de contactpunten van de accu kan brandwonden of brand veroorzaken. Voor kortsluitschade die op deze manier wordt veroorzaakt, vervalt elke garantieaanspraak via Bosch.
Bij ruw gebruik kan er vloeistof uit de accu komen. Vermijd contact hiermee. Als u toch in contact komt met de vloeistof, spoel het dan af met water. Zoek onmiddellijk medische hulp als de vloeistof in de ogen komt. Vloeistof die uit de accu komt, kan irritatie of brandwonden veroorzaken.
Plaats de accu alleen op een schone ondergrond. Voorkom in het bijzonder het vuil worden van de oplaadaansluiting en de contacten, bijv. door zand of aarde. Gevaar voor kortsluiting die brandgevaar kan opleveren.
Probeer nooit een beschadigde accu op te laden of te gebruiken. Er bestaat explosiegevaar. Neem altijd contact op met uw Urban Arrow dealer wanneer uw accu beschadigd is.
Houd de oplader uit de buurt van regen of vocht. Het binnendringen van water in een acculader verhoogt het risico op een elektrische schok.
Houd de acculader schoon. Verontreiniging kan leiden tot risico van een elektrische schok.
Gebruik de acculader nooit op licht ontvlambare oppervlakken (bijv. papier, textiel, enz.) of vlakbij. Het warm worden van de acculader tijdens het opladen kan brandgevaar opleveren. Controleer voor elk gebruik de acculader, kabel en stekker. Gebruik de acculader niet als er schade wordt vastgesteld. Beschadigde acculaders, kabels en stekkers verhogen het risico op een elektrische schok. Maak zelf nooit de acculader open. Neem altijd contact op met uw Urban Arrow dealer wanneer uw acculader beschadigd is.
Op de onderzijde van de lader bevindt zich een sticker in het Engels (nummer 31 op de afbeelding op de grafische pagina). Hierop staat: Gebruik ALLEEN BOSCH lithium-ion accu's. Volg deze instructie.
Bij het gebruik van de boordcomputer met Bluetooth® en/of WiFi kunnen zich storingen bij andere apparaten en installaties, vliegtuigen en medische apparaten (bijv. pacemakers, hoorapparaten) voordoen. Eveneens kan schade aan mens en dier in de directe omgeving niet volledig uitgesloten worden. Gebruik de boordcomputer met Bluetooth® niet in de buurt van medische apparaten, tankstations, chemische installaties, gebieden waar ontploffingsgevaar heerst, en in explosiegebieden. Gebruik de boordcomputer met Bluetooth® niet in vliegtuigen. Vermijd het gebruik gedurende een langere periode in de directe omgeving van het lichaam.
Laat u niet door de aanduiding van de boordcomputer afleiden. Wanneer u zich niet uitsluitend op het verkeer concentreert, loopt u het risico om betrokken te raken bij een ongeval. Wanneer u, naast het wisselen van de ondersteuningsniveaus, gegevens in uw boordcomputer wilt invoeren, stop dan en voer de betreffende gegevens in.
Let op
Accu’s mogen niet aan mechanische schokken worden blootgesteld. Het risico bestaat dat de accu beschadigd raakt en dat er dampen ontsnappen. De dampen kunnen de luchtwegen irriteren. Zorg voor frisse lucht en zoek medische hulp in geval van klachten.
De accu kan dampen afgeven als deze beschadigd raakt of verkeerd wordt gebruikt. Zorg voor frisse lucht en zoek medische hulp in geval van pijn of ongemak. Deze dampen kunnen de luchtwegen irriteren.
Let op de netspanning! De spanning van de voeding moet overeenkomen met de gegevens op het typeplaatje van de acculader. Acculaders met 230 V kunnen ook worden gebruikt met 220 V. Bij een te hoge netspanning kan de accu worden beschadigd.
Let op de bedrijfs- en opslagtemperatuur van de onderdelen van de e-bike. Bescherm de elektrische aandrijving, het display en de accu tegen extreme temperaturen (bijv. tegen felle zon zonder voldoende ventilatie) en weerkaatsing van zonlicht afkomstig van energiezuinig glas. De onderdelen (vooral de accu) kunnen door extreme temperaturen beschadigd raken.
4.
Voor het eerste gebruik
Uw fiets wordt met een gedeeltelijk opgeladen accu geleverd. Om de volledige capaciteit van de accu te garanderen, moet u de accu volledig in de lader opladen voordat u deze voor de eerste keer gebruikt. Zie paragraaf 7.2. hoe u de accu moet opladen.
Voorafgaand aan uw eerste rit moet uw fiets optimaal zijn aangepast. In dit hoofdstuk leggen we uit hoe dit moet gebeuren.
4.1.
Fietsinstelling
Pas de zadelhoogte en stuurpositie aan uw persoonlijke voorkeur aan om optimaal op uw nieuwe fiets te kunnen rijden.
Tips voor een optimale instelling (zie afbeelding 4):
Plaats het stuur niet te laag of te ver weg. Te veel naar voren leunen zal uw onderrug en polsen belasten.
Bij het verstellen van de zadelhoogte moeten uw voeten (niet alleen de tenen) de grond raken als u op het zadel zit.
Wanneer u uw voet op het laagste punt van het pedaal plaatst, moet uw knie licht gebogen zijn.
Het komt vaak voor dat een Urban Arrow-fiets door meer dan één rijder wordt bereden. In dat geval is het aanpassen van de zadelpenhoogte op de juiste hoogte kritischer dan het aanpassen van de stuurhoogte.
|
|
|
Afbeelding 4: Fietsinstelling tips
|
4.1.1.
Zadelhoogte-instelling
De hoogte van het zadel wordt als volgt aangepast:
1.
Open de snelspanner zadelpen P op de zadelpenklem. De zadelpen zit nu los in het frame (zie afbeelding 5).
De zadelpenklem moet op zijn plaats blijven. Die hoeft niet van het frame afgeschoven te worden of er volledig afgehaald te worden.
2.
Zet het zadel op de gewenste hoogte. Let op het volgende:
Als u een geveerde zadelpen hebt: De aanduiding op de zadelpen (een lijn van verticale strepen) mag nooit zichtbaar zijn. Wanneer u de zadelpen tot voorbij de minimale insteekmarkering verlengt, kan de zadelpen tijdens het fietsen breken, waardoor u de controle over de fiets kunt verliezen.
3.
Sluit de snelspanner zadelpen volledig door deze tegen de zadelpenklem te drukken (zie afbeelding 7).
Kan de zadelpen in de klem draaien als de hendel gesloten is of kunt u de snelspanner zadelpen niet sluiten? Dan moet de klemkracht worden aangepast. Pas de klemkracht als volgt aan:
1.
Open de snelspanner zadelpen P .
2.
Pas de klemkracht aan:
a.
Draai de stelschroef tegenover de hendel enkele slagen met de wijzers van de klok mee om de klem goed vast te draaien.
b.
Draai de stelschroef tegenover de hendel enkele slagen tegen de wijzers van de klok in om de klem losser te draaien.
3.
Sluit de snelspanner zadelpen volledig door deze tegen de zadelpenklem te drukken.

4.1.2.
Stuur/stuurpenverstelling
De stuurpositie kan aan uw persoonlijke voorkeur worden aangepast. Door de hoek van de stuurpen aan te passen verandert de stuurhoogte en de afstand tussen de berijder en het stuur.
De hoek van de stuurpen kan als volgt worden aangepast:
1.
Draai de twee bouten voor de stuurpenhoek een paar slagen in tegenwijzerzin om ze los te draaien (zie afbeelding 8A). Het is niet nodig om de bout verder te draaien.
Gebruik een 5 mm inbussleutel.
2.
Stel de hoek van de stuurpen fl in op de gewenste instelling.
3.
Draai de bouten in wijzerzin om ze vast te draaien.
De hoek van het stuur kan als volgt worden aangepast:
1.
Draai de 4 bouten van de stuurpen I een paar slagen in tegenwijzerzin om ze los te zetten (zie afbeelding 8)B). Het is niet nodig om de bout verder te draaien.
Gebruik een 4 mm inbussleutel.
Het is mogelijk dat uw versie slechts 2 stuurpenbouten heeft. Gebruik in dat geval een 5 mm inbussleutel.
2.
Stel de hoek van het stuur in op de gewenste instelling.
Wanneer er een bereik dat op de zijkant van de stuurpen is aangegeven: Blijf bij het afstellen altijd binnen het bereik dat op de zijkant van de stuurpen staat aangegeven (zie afbeelding 10). Wanneer u de stuurpen op een positie buiten dit bereik instelt, kan de stuurpen tijdens het fietsen breken. Hierdoor kunt u de controle over de fiets verliezen.
3.
Draai de bouten in wijzerzin om ze vast te draaien.
De bout moet tot het juiste koppel worden aangedraaid. Te strak aandraaien kan ertoe leiden dat de bout breekt, te weinig aandraaien van de bout kan slippen van de stuurpen en staven veroorzaken (deze kunnen bijvoorbeeld bewegen als u over een hobbel rijdt). Een zelfverzekerde thuismonteur moet in staat zijn om het juiste koppel met de hand te beoordelen. Check bijlage A voor de juiste aandraaimomenten.

Ga op het zadel zitten en kijk naar voren. Draai de handgrepen om de hoek van de remhendels ‹ en † te optimaliseren.
De hoek van de remhendels is correct ingesteld wanneer de remhendels visueel achter de handgrepen verdwijnen. (zie afbeelding 11).
Controleer altijd de hoek van de remhendel nadat u de hoek van de stuurpen hebt veranderd. Verander de hoek van de handgrepen indien nodig. Bij een verkeerde stand van de remhendels is het moeilijker om kracht uit te oefenen, hetgeen tot verminderde remprestaties kan leiden.

Pas de instellingen van de verende vork aan:
Alleen van toepassing op de Urban Arrow FamilyNext e-bike.
De verende voorvork is af fabriek precies afgesteld. Pas de verende vork desgewenst iets aan om de stijfheid te verhogen of te verlagen.
De stijfheid van de verende voorvork kan als volgt worden aangepast (zie afbeelding 12):
Draai de afstelling van de vering linksom los om de stijfheid te verlagen.
Draai de afstelling van de vering rechtsom los om de stijfheid te verhogen.
Zorg ervoor dat de vering gelijkmatig is afgesteld ter voorkoming van een verschil in stijfheid tussen de veren.

Instellen van de verlichting
Het achterlicht is op de juiste positie bevestigd en hoeft niet te worden afgesteld. Voor een optimale zichtbaarheid moet het koplampje correct zijn ingesteld (zie afbeelding 13). Het kan op en neer gekanteld worden. Hierdoor kan de lichtstraal dichter of verder van de fiets worden geprojecteerd. Idealiter wordt de lichtbundel zo ver mogelijk van de fiets op de grond gericht.
Stel de koplamp nooit zo in dat de lichtbundel naar boven wijst. Dit kan tot gevolg hebben dat aankomend verkeer verblind wordt, waarna ze de controle over hun transportmiddel kunnen verliezen en een ongeluk kunnen veroorzaken.
