Sicherheitshinweise

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.

The term “battery pack” used in these operating instructions, irrespective of model, refers both to standard battery packs (battery packs with holder on the bike frame) and to rack-type battery packs (battery packs with holder in the rear rack/carrier).

▶ Do not open the drive unit yourself. The drive unit must be repaired only by qualified experts and only with original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the drive unit is maintained. Unauthorised opening of the drive unit will void warranty claims.
All components mounted to the drive unit and all other components of the eBike drive (e.g., the chainwheel, chainwheel seat, pedals) may be replaced only with identical components or components specifically approved for your eBike by the bicycle manufacturer. This protects the drive unit against overload and damage.
Remove the battery pack from the eBike before beginning work (e.g. inspection, repair, assembly, maintenance, work on the chain, etc.) on the eBike, transporting it by car or plane, or storing it. Unintentional activation of the eBike system poses a risk of injury.
The eBike system can switch itself on when the eBike is pushed backwards.
The push-assistance function may only be used when pushing the eBike. Danger of injury when the wheels of the eBike do not have ground contact while using the push-assistance function.
The pedals may also rotate when the push assistance is switched on. When the push assistance is activated, make sure that your legs are a sufficient distance away from the rotating pedals. There is a risk of injury.

Assembly

Inserting and removing the battery pack

For inserting and removing the eBike battery pack in/from the eBike, please read and observe the battery pack operating instructions.

Checking the Speed Sensor (see figure A)

The speed sensor 2 and its spoke magnet 3 must be mounted in such a manner that the spoke magnet, after a turn of the wheel, moves past the speed sensor with a clearance of at least 5 mm, yet no more than 17 mm.

Note: If the distance between speed sensor 2 and spoke magnet 3 is too small or too large, or if the speed sensor 2 is not properly connected, the speed indication will fail, and the eBike drive unit will operate in emergency mode.

In this case, loosen the screw of the spoke magnet 3 and fasten the spoke magnet to the spoke in such a manner that it runs past the mark of the speed sensor at the correct clearance. If the speed is still not being indicated in the speed indication after this, please contact an authorised bicycle dealer.

Operation

Initial Operation

Requirements

The eBike system can only be activated when the following requirements are met:

• A sufficiently charged battery pack is inserted (see battery pack operating instructions).
• The on-board computer is properly inserted in the holder (see on-board computer operating instructions).
• The speed sensor is connected properly (see "Checking the Speed Sensor", page English-2).

Switching the eBike System On/Off

Options for \$witching on the eBike system: 2

• If the on-board computer is already switched on when you insert it into the holder, then the eBike system will be switched on automatically.
• When the on-board computer and the eBike battery pack are inserted, briefly press the On/Off button of the on-board computer.
• When the on-board computer is inserted, press the On/Off button of the eBike battery pack (see battery pack operating instructions).

The drive is activated as soon as you step on the pedals (except when in the push aid feature, see "Switching the Push-assistance mode On/Off", page English-3). The motor output depends on the settings of the assistance level on the onboard computer.

As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal operation, or as soon as you have reached a speed of 25 km/h, the assistance from the eBike drive is switched off. The drive is automatically re-activated as soon you start pedaling again and the speed is below 25 km/h.

Options for switching off the eBike system:

• Press the On/Off button of the on-board computer.
• Switch the eBike battery pack off by its On/Off button (see battery pack operating instructions).
• Remove the on-board computer out of its holder.

If the eBike is not moved and no button is pressed on the onboard computer for 10 minutes, the eBike system will shut down automatically in order to save energy.

eShift (optional)

eShift is the integration of automatic gear shifting systems into the eBike system. The eShift components are electrically connected to the drive unit by the manufacturer. The operation of automatic gear shifting systems is described in the operating instructions of the on-board computer.

Setting the Assistance Level

On the on-board computer you can set how much the eBike drive assists you while pedalling. The assistance level can be changed at any time, even while cycling.

Note: For individual versions, it is possible that the assistance level is pre-set and cannot be changed. It is also possible that less assistance levels are available for selection than listed here.

The following assistance levels (max.) are available:

• “OFF”: The motor assistance is switched off, and the eBike can be moved as a normal bicycle only by pedalling. The push assistance/start assistance cannot be activated in this assistance level.
• “ECO”: Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for maximum cruising range
• “TOUR”: Uniform assistance, for touring with long cruising range
• “SPORT”: Powerful assistance for sportive riding off road as well as for urban traffic
• “TURBO”: Maximum assistance, supporting highest cadence for sportive riding

The requested motor output is displayed in indicator. The maximum motor output depends on the selected assistance level.

Assistance Level Assistance Factor* (Derailleur)
	Cruise CX
“ECO”	50 % 50 %
“TOUR”	120 % 120 %
“SPORT”	190 % 210 %
“TURBO”	275 % 300 %
* The motor output can vary for individual versions.

Switching the Push-assistance mode On/Off

The push-assistance feature makes it easier to push the eBike. The speed in this function depends on the set gear and cannot exceed 6 km/h (max.). The lower the set gear, the lower the speed in the push-assistance function (at full output).

The push-assistance function may only be used when pushing the eBike. Danger of injury when the wheels of the eBike do not have ground contact while using the push-assistance function.

To activate the push-assistance function, briefly press button "WALK" on your on-board computer. After activation, press button "+" within 3 s and keep it pressed. The eBike drive is switched on.

Note: The push assistance cannot be activated in the "OFF" assistance level.

The push assistance is switched off as soon as one of the following occurs:

• you release button “+”,
  – the wheels of the eBike are blocked (e.g. by actuating the brakes or impacting against an obstacle),
• the speed exceeds 6 km/h.

Note: On some systems the push-assistance function can be started directly by pressing the "WALK" button.

Switching bike lights on/off

For bikes with back-pedalling function, the pedals rotate when the push aid is switched on. If the rotating pedals are blocked, the push aid switches off.

Notes on Riding with the eBike System

When does the eBike Drive Unit Operate?

The eBike drive unit assists you when riding, as long as you step into the pedals. Without pedaling, there is no assistance. The motor output always depends on the amount of your pedaling power.

When applying less pedaling power, the assistance or support will be lower than when applying a lot of pedaling power. This applies independent of the assistance Level.

The eBike drive automatically switches off at speeds in excess of 25 km/h. When the speed falls below 25 km/h, the drive is automatically available again.

An exception applies to the push-assistance function, in which the eBike can be pushed at low speed without pedalling. The pedals may also rotate when the push assistance is used.

The eBike can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without assistance at any time, by either switching off the eBike system or setting the assistance level to "OFF". The same applies when the battery pack is empty.

Interaction of the eBike System with the Bicycle Gears

The bicycle gears should be used as with a normal bicycle, even with eBike motor assistance (please observe the operating instructions of your eBike).

Independent of the type of gearing, it is recommended to briefly interrupt the pedaling while changing gears. This makes changing gears easier and reduces the wear of the drive train.

By selecting the right gear, you can increase the speed and range with the same pedaling effort.

Gathering First Experience

It is recommended to gather first experience with the eBike away from roads with heavy traffic.

Test the various assistance levels. Start with the lowest assistance level. As soon as you feel confident, you can ride your eBike in traffic like any other bike.

Test the operating range of your eBike under different conditions before planning longer and more challenging rides.

Influences on the Operating Range

The range is affected by a number of factors, such as:

• Assistance level
• Speed
  -Gearchangingbehaviour
  – Tyre type and tyre pressure
  – Age and condition of the battery
• Route profile (gradients) and conditions (road surface)
• Headwind and ambient temperature
• Weight of eBike, driver and luggage.

For this reason, it is not possible to precisely predict the range before and during a trip. General rules:

• With the same assistance level on the eBike drive: The less energy you need to exert in order to reach a certain speed (e.g. by changing gears optimally), the less energy the eBike drive will consume and the higher the range per battery charge will be.
• The higher the assistance level under otherwise same conditions, the lower the range.

Careful Handling of the eBike

Please observe the operating and storage temperatures of the eBike components. Protect the drive unit, on-board computer and battery against extreme temperatures (e.g. from intense sunlight without adequate ventilation). The components (especially the battery pack) can become damaged through extreme temperatures.
