Clean with regular detergent, avoid the rough side of the sponge – you might scratch the surface.

If the big lid is flipped open, the countertop is 265cm long. The big lid is heavy due to its size and to what

is stored within. It therefore needs to be opened and closed carefully in compliance with the following

steps:

‐ Activate the parking brake before opening the big lid. If the bike starts moving during the process

of opening the big lid this might lead to an uncontrolled movement which can result in damage or

injury.

‐ If the big lid is too heavy for you it might be necessary to get assistance from a second person to

open and close it. A controlled movement has to be ensured in order to avoid damage and

injuries.

‐ The big lid contains storage space for light objects.

• Cargo Load: 220 lbs. (100 kg) ‐ Do not overload the vehicle

• Top speed: 10 mph (16 km/h)

• Top speed when going around corners or on uneven ground: 5 mph (8 km/h)

• Maximum adult rider weight: 220 lbs. (100 kg)

• Maximum tire pressure: 65 psi

• Be sure to read the entire manual before taking your paul&ernst bike out for a ride.

• Discontinue use if any part becomes damaged or broken and contact the nearest bike repair workshop

or contact us directly.

• Do not ride the bike on roads with a high volume of automobile traffic.

• Balance your cargo load. When loading your transport volume or refrigerator/freezer unit, put the main

load near the center to optimize stability. Avoid heavy loads only at the front of the bike unit.

• Before each ride, check to make sure that nothing will interfere with the braking, pedaling, or steering

of the vehicle.

• Pick a controlled environment, away from cars, other cyclists, obstacles, or other hazards to familiarize

yourself with the vehicle.

• Familiarize yourself with the braking action. Test the brakes at slow speeds.

WARNING: Heavy loads extend the braking distance. Leave enough space between yourself and other

bikers or road users to ensure braking action under any condition even with a heavy transport unit.

• Use the parking brake whenever the vehicle is in a stationary position – especially when setting up and

opening the gastronomy unit. Failure to activate the parking brake can result in vehicle damage or serious

injury.

• If you encounter any mechanical or operating issues during your initial test ride or thereafter, you

should contact the nearest bike repair workshop or us directly.

Handling through turns and around corners

• Your paul&ernst bike has a wide turning radius, and its operation differs substantially from that of a

bicycle.

• Remain upright will making turns, leaning slightly into the turn.

• Do not make sharp turns or turns at high speeds. Sharp turns or turns at faster than 5 mph (8km/h) may

result in the vehicle overturning and serious injury.

Starting, stopping, and riding

• Be careful when crossing streets and paths. Your paul&ernst bike is longer than a standard bicycle and

the front‐end may inadvertently stick out into oncoming traffic.

• The vehicle is heavier than a standard bicycle and requires more time and distance to start and to stop.

• Always test the brakes prior to use.



• Always balance the load in the transport/refrigerator/freezing unit. This will optimize riding

performance and minimize the potential for dangerous riding situations.

• Ride with extra care on uneven surfaces, especially when riding up or down hills.

MAINTENANCE Your paul&ernst bike is designed and built to last. With regular maintenance and care you can greatly

extend the life expectancy of your paul&ernst bike and maximize the performance capabilities. Any

mechanical repairs and adjustments should be performed by a professional bicycle mechanic.

Wear and Tear

If you expose your paul&ernst bike to various kinds of weather or ride it frequently, components and

parts may reach their wear limit before its warranty expires. In the event that components start to show

signs of wear, visit a bike repair workshop or contact us directly for advice before continuing use.

The following components are subject to function‐related wear:

• Tires

• Rims, hubs, axles, and spokes

• Steering components and bearings

• Brake discs, cables, and hand levers

Bike and gastronomy units are subject to wear and tear due to the following:

• Cargo load

• Intensity of use

• Riding habits

• Storage conditions

• Weather conditions and climate factors including

• UV exposure

• Humidity

• Dirt

• Temperature

• Moisture

• Salt water

• Road salt

Visually inspect you paul&ernst bike before every ride. This includes checking the components and the

condition of the gastronomy unit. Additionally, your vehicle should have regular maintenance checkups.

STORAGE Maintaining and cleaning your paul&ernst bike which is an outdoor vehicle with moving parts and

components:

To optimize performance and product longevity, regular cleaning and maintenance are mandatory. After

every use, wipe down the entire vehicle with a clean rag ‐ do not use cleaning solvents. Clean only with

mild soap and water.



Long term storage of your paul&ernst bike should be in a dry, well ventilated place and away from direct

sunlight.

paul&ernst bikes are equipped with a hinge on the main frame pipe in order to save space for delivery

and storage. Use the following process to securely fold the paul&ernst bike frame:

1. Carefully rotate the rear part of the bike counterclockwise to just beyond the right pipe of the

movable handlebar.

2. Lower the handlebar to the floor surface and firmly tighten the screws in order to secure the

stability of the bike.

3. Make sure that there is no heavy load in the front storage unit. This could lead to instability and

cause the bike to tip over once the frame pipe is folded.

4. Open the quick release of hinge on the main frame pipe.



WARNING: the hinge has a security mechanism. To completely open the hinge one has to push

the pin with the quick release upwards.

5. Turn the rear part of the bike sideways and position the rear wheel next to the front wheel.

Choose the position carefully to avoid damage of the spokes of the frond wheel with the pedal.

6. Storage size in parking position: 120 x 150cm



The battery is permanently installed in the bike. Maintain the following conditions for long term storage:

1. Dry storage place

2. Ideal temperature: room temperature (the battery discharges more quickly in low‐temperature

environments)

3. State of health charging current 40%‐70% (WARNING: avoid long term storage of a discharged

battery – this can lead to permanent damage)

4. The battery discharges slowly when not in use. The charging current should be controlled once

every second month.

SERVICE General Warnings

1. Technological advances have made bicycles and their components more complex, and the pace of

innovation is constantly increasing. It is impossible for this manual to provide all the information required

to properly repair and/or maintain your paul&ernst bike. In order to help minimize the chances of an

accident and possible injury, it is critical that you have any repair or maintenance, which is not specifically

described in this manual, performed by a professional bicycle mechanic. Also, keep in mind that your

individual maintenance requirements will be determined by everything from your riding style to the

climatic conditions of where you live and ride.

2. Many bicycle service and repair tasks require special knowledge and tools.

Service Intervals: Some service and maintenance can and should be performed by the owner and require

no special tools or knowledge beyond what is presented in this manual. The following are examples of the

type of service you could perform yourself. All other types of service, maintenance, and repair should be

performed in a properly equipped facility by a qualified bicycle mechanic using the correct tools and

procedures.

1. Following Break‐In Period: Your paul&ernst bike will last longer and work better if you break it in.

Control cables, spokes, and chains may stretch and ‘seat’ when a new bike is first used and may require

adjustments by a bicycle mechanic. Your ‘Mechanical Safety Check’ will help you identify some things that

need readjustment

2. Before every ride: Mechanical safety check



3. As needed: If your paul&ernst bike has been exposed to water, sand, salt, or grit, or at least every 100

miles: clean your paul&ernst bike and lightly lubricate the chain’s rollers with a good quality bicycle chain

lubricant. Wipe off excess lubricant with a lint‐free cloth.

4. After every 10 to 20 hours of riding:

• Squeeze the front brakes and rock the paul&ernst bike forwards and backwards. If you feel it clunk with

each movement, your brakes may need to be adjusted. Have a professional bike mechanic check it.

• Grab one pedal and rock it toward and away from the centerline of the frame. Do the same with the

other pedal. If either feels loose, have a bicycle mechanic check the pedals out.

• Check the control cables and cable housings carefully. If you notice any rust, kinks, fraying, or other

imperfections, have a bicycle mechanic replace them.

• Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either side of each wheel between your thumb and index

finger. If any feel loose, have your bicycle mechanic check the wheel for tension and trueness.

• Check the tires for excess wear, cuts, or bruises.

• The front wheels can be detached in case parts have to be replaced (tubes, tires, spokes and rims) or if

the foliation of the bike has to be replaced. We advise to have this repair / maintenance work done by a

professional bike mechanic.

5. Before detaching the wheel, the braking device from the disc brake has to be detached. The

braking device has to be unscrewed from the bike frame. The screws (2xinbus) are located

underneath the exterior surface of the gastronomy unit pointing towards the center of the frame.

6. When the braking device is detached make sure that the bike frame is stably supported so that

the wheel is elevated from the ground.

7. Unmount the center screw to detach the wheel from the axis.

8. WARNING: use proper force to mount the screws of the braking device and the center screw. If

these components were to loosen up of fall out during a ride it could cause a serious accident.

We therefore strongly advise to have this work done by a professional bike mechanic.

• Check to make sure that all parts and accessories are still secure and tighten any which are not.

5. Every 100 hours: Take your paul&ernst bike to a bicycle repair workshop for a complete checkup.

WARNING: like any mechanical device, your paul&ernst bike and its components are subject to wear and

stress. Different materials and mechanisms wear or fatigue from stress at different rates and have

different life cycles. If a component’s life cycle is exceeded, the component can suddenly fail, causing

serious injury.

While the materials and workmanship of your paul&ernst bike or of the individual components may be

covered by a warranty for a specified period of time by the manufacturer, this is no guarantee that the

product will last the term of the warranty. Product life is often related to the kind of riding you do and to

the treatment to which you submit the vehicle. The paul&ernst bike warranty is not meant to suggest that

the vehicle cannot be broken or will last forever. It only means that the product is covered subject to the

terms of the warranty.

WARNING: A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress on bicycle components, causing them to

fatigue prematurely. Components suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly and catastrophically,

causing loss of control and/or serious injury.
