ELOPS 940E HF ELECTRIC BIKE

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.

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.

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).

 

You should recharge the battery at least once every three months (even when it's not being used) to avoid deep discharge and any change in the battery's capacity. 

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.

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

This bike rack can hold up to two electric bikes.

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.

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

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

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

Pedestrian mode (or walk mode) is an electrically assisted mode that helps you move your bike when you are walking alongside it. This can come in very handy in certain situations, such as getting out of an underground garage, etc.

 

 

Walk mode allows you to push your bike along effortlessly.

 

 

Press the bottom arrow on the remote control and scroll down until you reach assistance mode "OFF".Press the bottom button and hold it down for two seconds until "WALK" appears on the screen.

By then holding the button down, the bike will move forward in PEDESTRIAN mode, at a constant speed of 6 km/h.

 

Simply release the button to exit walk mode and stop the bike.

To go back to the other assistance modes, press on the central button (the top arrow).

 

Never use walk mode while riding the bike, as this may damage the motor.

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

Yes, the electric Elops 940E is an electrically assisted (also called pedal-assist) bicycle.

 

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 torque sensor located in the motor unit transmits pedal power information to the bike's on-board computer, which then activates the motor.

This sensor measures the pedalling power of the user, and provides assistance proportional to the force applied to the pedals. This means that the more pressure you put on the pedals, the more electrical assistance is provided, resulting in a smooth pedalling action without jolts.

 

The level of assistance provided varies depending on the mode chosen (ECO, NORM, HIGH). In ECO mode, you will need to pedal harder than you do in HIGH mode to reach the same assisted speed.

 

You should use HIGH mode on climbs, as there is usually less pedalling power.

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.

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 940 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.

 

You can also visit one of our Decathlon workshops where our cycling experts will take a look at your bike.

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 940E, the battery will last for between 50 and 90 km. Taking good care of your bike will ensure that the battery lasts as long as possible.

Your battery is guaranteed for two years.

When your bike is stationary, you can access the settings on the screen and set them up the way you want.

 

You can manage the following:

- The time.

- Assistance mode appearing by default when the screen comes on

- Back lighting

- Screen brightness

- Button sounds

- Units

- Language

- Colour of screen background

 

To access the settings menu, press and hold down buttons "2" and "3" on the remote control for two seconds.

Then use buttons "2" or "3" to move the cursor to the item you wish to change the settings for. 

Press button "1" to select the required value or enter the setting.

Yes, the charger and battery are designed so that they can be left plugged in round the clock.

 

Once the battery is fully charged, the charger will automatically shut itself off (the LED indicator on the charger will turn off).

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.

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 6 bars.

You can ask AXA SECURITY, the manufacturer of the battery and bike locks, to cut a new key for you.   Go to the AXA SECURITY website to place an order. You will need the serial number for your pair of keys. The serial number is engraved on each key (see the photo).  

1. Check that there isn't any dirt in the way of the connection Your battery charger's connectors should be clean and there should be no dirt preventing contact between the battery and its connector.   2. Check the battery > charger > mains socket connection > Make sure the charger you are using is the one provided by Decathlon     > Connect the charger to the battery and a mains socket.   Solid Orange LED= battery charging Solid green LED = battery charge complete   It takes three hours to fully charge the battery after it has been completely drained.   If the problem persists, contact us or visit one of our Decathlon workshops.

1. Check that the battery is well charged If the battery is almost empty, it may cause a jerky feeling before it goes completely flat.   > Remove the battery from the bike. > Press the button on the battery. > Check to see if any of the LEDs come on. > If all the LEDs are out, the battery needs to be recharged.     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. Make sure the control screen is perfectly attached to its mount                   > Removing the control screen from its mount. To do so, press the small lever located on the mount while sliding the screen upwards at the same time. > Mounting the control screen back delicately: slide the screen on the mount until you hear a "click".     4. Check the position of the speed sensor magnet on the wheel. > Find the corresponding magnet attached to one of the spokes of the rear wheel. > This magnet must be positioned facing the triangle marker drawn on the speed sensor. > If this is not the case, reposition the magnet. To do so, unscrew the magnet using a crosshead screwdriver, place it in the correct position and tighten the screw to attach it to the spoke.  

1. Check the tyre pressure   > The tyre pressure determines how efficiently your electrical assistance works. Before each ride, make sure your tyres are inflated to between 3.5 and 6 bars.     2. Make sure you don't overload your bike

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 charged. You can check the battery level by pressing the battery's power button. The battery charge level won't display if the battery is mounted on the bike. You must first remove the battery from the bike, otherwise all the LEDs will light-up, only indicating that the battery is on.   If the first LED blinks or no LEDs light up, the battery is flat. Plug it into its charger and connect to a power mains socket to charge it.   You can either charge the battery on its own using the charging adaptor, or by keeping the battery on the bike and using the charger directly.     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. Make sure the control screen is perfectly attached to its mount                   > Removing the control screen from its mount. To do so, press the small lever located on the mount while sliding the screen upwards at the same time. > Mounting the control screen back delicately: slide the screen on the mount until you hear a "click".   4. Check the position of the speed sensor magnet on the wheel. > Find the corresponding magnet attached to one of the spokes of the rear wheel. > This magnet must be positioned facing the triangle marker drawn on the speed sensor. > If this is not the case, reposition the magnet. To do so, unscrew the magnet using a crosshead screwdriver, place it in the correct position and tighten the screw to attach it to the spoke.   5. Let the system cool down. In high temperatures, or after a long ride, the electric system may overheat. Allow the bike to cool down by not using the electric assistance for several minutes and then restarting it.

1. Make sure you are using and storing it as recommended   Your electric bike's battery life depends on various things:   > THE LOAD ON THE BIKE: An overloaded bike will reduce the battery range.   > THE TYPE OF ROUTE: Battery range is reduced when riding uphill.   > TYRE PRESSURE: For optimum battery life, your tyres should be inflated at a pressure of 3.5 to 6 bar.   > 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.   > PEDALLING CADENCE: You have to pedal more to go further.   > FOLLOWING THE BATTERY CHARGING AND STORING INSTRUCTIONS   The ELOPS 940E has an average battery range of 50 to 90 km. Following best practices ensures you get the most out of your bike's battery.     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.
