First use

What happens if you forget to turn your bike off?

The bike turns off automatically after a few minutes if it isn't being used.

Can you ride when it's raining? are the components watertight?

The battery is designed to be used when it's raining but it shouldn't be submerged in water or washed with a pressure washer.

 

The same is true for the display and the other components and electrical cables.

Nevertheless, we recommend sheltering your bike as much as possible when you're not riding it.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
What is the battery life?

Your electric bike's battery life depends on numerous factors:

 

> THE BIKE'S LOAD: The battery life will be shorter if the bike is overloaded

 

> THE TYPE OF TERRAIN: The battery life will be shorter going uphill

 

> THE TYRE PRESSURE: The battery life will be better with tyres inflated to between 3.5 and 5 bars.

 

> THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE: The battery life will be shorter when it's cold outside

 

> THE ASSISTANCE MODE USED: It is advisable to reduce the power assistance mode when the battery charge is low

 

> YOUR PEDALLING CADENCE: You need to pedal if you want to go further

 

> WHETHER YOU FOLLOW THE BATTERY CHARGING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY

 

For the ELOPS 900E, the battery will last for between 40 and 70 km. Taking good care of your bike will ensure that the battery lasts as long as possible.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
What should you do if you have a problem with your electric bike?

You'll find a list of frequently asked questions in the "Got a problem?" section which should help you resolve any problems you may have with your ELOPS 900 by yourself.

 

Alternatively you could email one of our specialist technicians who will answer your questions and help you resolve any problems. To do so, please use this form.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
Where to buy a second battery?

You can buy a new battery from your local Decathlon workshop.

 

Contact your workshop to find out if they have the part you need in stock and how long it will take to arrive.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
Can you leave your charger connected to the battery even after it's finished charging?

Yes, the charger is designed to be connected round the clock.

 

When the battery is fully charged, the charger stops charging but stays connected to the power.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
How long can you store your battery before you need to recharge it?

The battery is equipped with a standby mode that enables it to be stored without being charged regularly.

Once set to standby mode, the battery can then be safely stored for up to 1 year without charging or affecting the capacity.

 

 

A battery stored without being set to standby mode needs to be charged at least every 3 months to prevent the battery capacity deteriorating.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
Which cycle carrier can hold your electric bike?

Your bike is compatible with the THULE Europower bike rack available in Decathlon stores.

This bike rack can hold up to two electric bikes.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
Should you wait until your battery is completely flat before charging it?

No. Lithium-ion batteries have no memory effect and can therefore be charged at any time.

 

We recommend charging your battery regularly to keep it working well.

What is the lifetime of your battery?

Your battery is guaranteed for 2 years or 500 cycles (1 cycle = 1 charge + 1 full drain).

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
Can you ride when your battery is flat?

It's an electrical assistance bike. That means it's entirely possible to ride without this assistance.

 

Of course, the extra weight of the motor system will make cycling a little harder.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
What is walk mode?

Walk mode is an electrical assistance mode that helps you move your bike when you are walking alongside it. It can be very useful, particularly when taking your bike out from a parking area with a slope.

 

 

Walk mode lets you push your bike effortlessly.

 

 

To activate this mode, switch the control screen on by holding down the On/Off button. Then hold down the "+" button. Be careful: the bike will begin to move at a constant speed of 6km/h.

Do not use this mode whilst on the bike. This may damage the motor.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
Do you need to pedal for the electrical assistance to start?

Yes. The ELOPS 900 bike is an electrical assistance bike.

 

This assistance is only triggered when the user pedals (a motorised system that involves no pedalling is considered to be a moped, with usage restrictions and much stricter safety rules).

 

A pedalling sensor near the chainset transmits the information to the bike's on-board computer, which triggers the motor.

 

The bike's electric motor cuts out instantly when you brake or stop pedalling.

Turning the pedals again will restart the motor so that you will benefit from the bike's electrical assistance once again.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
How should you store your battery?

You should store your battery somewhere cool (between 10°C and 25°C) and dry, out of direct sunlight.

To avoid deep discharge, which may cause it to malfunction, do not store the battery when empty (1 flashing LED).

 

Remember to recharge the battery (even when not in use) at least every three months in order to avoid a deep discharge, which could affect the battery's capacity. 

If you're storing your battery for a long period (more than 3 months without using it), remember to put the battery in standby mode so that it's easier to store and doesn't need recharging regularly.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
How often do you need to recharge your battery?

It takes six hours to fully charge the battery after it has been completely drained.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
How do you change the units (mph or km/h)?

To switch from km/h to mph or vice versa, make sure the screen is lit up then hold the " - " button on the display for 10 seconds.

Which child seat is compatible with your bike?

Your bike is compatible with the GROOVY baby seat sold in Decathlon stores.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
What pressure should your tyres be inflated to?

Having the right tyre pressure is particularly important on an electric bike. The wheels have a lot of weight on them because of the combination of the motor and bike.

To minimise the risk of getting a puncture and to increase your battery life, your tyres should be between 3.5 and 5 bars.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
What should you do if your battery wears out?

When your battery wears out, take it to your local Decathlon store, which will send it to a specialist recycling facility.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
What is standby mode on your battery?

Standby mode enables the battery to be stored for a long period (1 year maximum) without recharging or reducing the battery capacity.

 

To switch the battery to standby mode, hold the battery button for 10 seconds until the battery's LEDs turn off. 

 

Charge the battery with its charger to wake it back up.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
Does the battery charge while cycling?

No, it doesn't have a dynamo. Some systems let you charge the battery as you ride or brake, but this doesn't generate much power. You'd have to ride several dozen kilometres to generate 1 km of additional power.

Got a problem?

Your control screen won't switch on

To switch on the Elops 900E's screen, hold down the On/Off button.

If the screen still doesn't light up, follow this procedure:

 

1. Check that the battery is well charged

> Press the battery button

> Check that at least one LED is turning on

> If one of the LEDs is blinking, recharge the battery by connecting it to its charger and a socket

 

 

2. Check that the battery is clean, properly attached and locked in place

 

> Check that the battery's connectors and holder are clean and in good condition.

> The battery should be pushed all the way into its holder

When you push it in, it will click to indicate that it is correctly in place.

Lock the battery and remove the key.

 

3. Check that the cable linking the console to the controller is connected (the controller is the central processing unit under the pannier rack, just behind the battery)

 

> Open the rip-tab cable cover that you'll find between the pannier rack and the saddle.

 

Check the accessory cable connection (the one with the metal rings)

 

> To check if the connectors are clean, in good condition, and correctly inserted, unscrew both rings on either side of the black washer:

 

> Check that each connector is clean and in good condition

 

> Reconnect everything properly. To do this, position each male and female connector opposite each other, then align the indicator arrows before pushing them back in.Don't forget about the washer between the two rings.

 

> Tighten the rings as far as they'll go in order to secure the connections.

 

 

4. Check that the display is connected

 

> At the front of the bike, slide the neoprene cover off the screen to reveal the pair of connectors for the screen (black).

 

> Do the same as before to check the console's connections.

 

 

5. Turn the screen on by holding down the On/Off button

 

If the problem persists, submit a support request or visit a Decathlon workshop.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
Your battery charge level is showing "0%" even though there's still some charge

Check that the battery is pushed in all the way and remember to lock it in place before each use.

 

If it isn't pushed in fully or if it shakes around during use (due to it not being locked), it will struggle to connect properly to the rest of the system and data such as the charge level won't be accurately transmitted.

Your electrical assistance won't activate or cuts out

The electrical assistance kicks in after several turns of the pedal and needs assistance mode to be activated.

If your electrical assistance still isn't turning on, follow these steps:

 

1. Check that the battery is well charged

> Press the battery button

> Check that at least one LED is turning on

> If one of the LEDs is blinking, recharge the battery by connecting it to its charger and a socket

 

 2. Check that the battery is clean, properly attached and locked in place

 

> Check that the battery's connectors and holder are clean and in good condition.

> The battery should be pushed all the way into its holder

When you push it in, it will click to indicate that it is correctly in place.

Lock the battery and remove the key.

 

 

3. Check all of the bike's connectors: brakes, motor, console, pedalling sensor, controller (controller = central processing unit of the electrical kit. It is located just behind the battery, on the pannier rack)

To access most of the connectors, you'll need to open or slide off the neoprene cover that's protecting the electrical cables. The motor's connector is the only one that's not covered.

 

HOW TO CHECK THE BIKE'S CONNECTIONS:

There are two types of connection on your bike: "screw-in" ones and "push-in" ones.

 

"Screw-in" connections

For "screw-in" connections, which you can recognise from the two metal rings, you will need to unscrew both rings in order to disconnect the cables. Be careful not to lose the small plastic washer between the two rings when you unscrew them.

 

Once disconnected, check that each connector is clean, then reconnect.

To do this, position each male and female connector opposite each other, then align the indicator arrows before pushing them back in.

Tighten the two metal rings as far as they'll go in order to secure the connections.

 

"Push-in" connections

The male connector is simply pushed into the female connector. Check that both connectors are fully inserted, and push them in more firmly if necessary.

 

 

4. Test the in electrical assistance

> Turn on the screen by holding down the On/Off button

> Get on your bike and pedal (you'll need to turn the pedals several times to trigger the electrical assistance).

 

If the problem persists, submit a support request or visit a Decathlon workshop.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
Your battery life is low or has gone down

1. Make sure you are using and storing it as recommended

 

Your electric bike's battery life depends on various things:

 

> THE BIKE'S LOAD: The battery life will be shorter if the bike is overloaded

 

> THE TYPE OF TERRAIN: The battery life will be shorter going uphill

 

> THE TYRE PRESSURE: The battery life will be better with tyres that are inflated to between 3.5 and 5 bars.

 

> THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE: The battery life will be lower in cold weather (up to 50% less)

 

> THE ASSISTANCE MODE BEING USED: We recommend reducing the assistance when the battery is low.

 

> THE PEDALLING CADENCE: You need to pedal if you want to go further

 

> WHETHER YOU FOLLOW THE BATTERY CHARGING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY

 

For the ELOPS 900E, the battery will take you between 40 and 70 km. Taking good care of your bike will ensure that the battery lasts as long as possible.

 

 

2. An old battery may lose some performance

 

Its battery life will therefore be shorter. Visit your Decathlon workshop to give your battery a check-up.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)
There's a flashing led on your battery or no led

> 1st LED is flashing: The battery is almost empty and needs to be recharged. Connect it to the charger and a mains socket to recharge it.

 

> 2nd LED is flashing: The battery is in "protection mode" due to being mishandled or after a long period without being charged. Plug it into its charger and a mains socket as soon as possible to recharge it, which will take it out of protection mode

 

> If there is another flashing LED or several flashing LEDs, the battery is faulty. Take your battery to a Decathlon workshop for full testing.

ELOPS 900E LOW FRAME ELECTRIC BIKE BRICK (2018)

> If none of the LEDs light up or the first or second LEDs are flashing, recharge the battery

 

 

2. Check that the battery is clean, properly attached and locked in place

 

> Check that the battery's connectors and holder are clean and in good condition.

 

> The battery should be pushed all the way into its holder

When you push it in, it will click to indicate that it is correctly in place.

 

Lock the battery and remove the key.

 

3. Check the connectors on the pedalling sensor (the thinnest cable)

 

> To do this, open the rip-tab cable cover behind the saddle and find the pedalling sensor connector (the thinnest cable).

> Disconnect the pair of connectors

> Check that the pedalling sensor connectors are in good condition and correctly pushed in. Re-insert the connectors if necessary.

 

 

4. Check that the pedalling sensor on the left of the bike, on the other side to the chainset (by the left crank), has not slipped onto the bottom bracket.

 

If it has slipped against the crank, gently move it back up against the frame.

If it won't stay in position, apply a blob of glue to the back of the sensor and press it against the frame.
