1 Quickstart

  1. Charge the battery completely before riding for the first time.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Quickstart - 1

natural_image Close-up of a hand adjusting a car's seatbelt with a small emblem (no visible text or symbols)

Unlocking the battery

  1. To remove the battery, grip the handle, insert the key into the lock and turn it anticlockwise. The battery is now unlocked.
  2. Tilt the battery sideways and lift it with both hands out of the holder.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Quickstart - 2

natural_image Close-up of a bicycle's front wheel assembly with a hand adjusting the seat (no visible text or symbols)

Tilt when removing

  1. Put the battery in the docking station of the charger. The battery LEDs light up or flash. You must fully charge the battery before using it for the first time.
  2. Once all LEDs have gone out, take the battery out of the docking station.
  3. Reinsert the battery into the holder on the Pedelec from the left-hand side. Move the battery outwards at an angle of roughly 45^ as you do so, as you did when you took it out of the holder. Move the battery into the upright position until the locking mechanism engages. If the key is still in the lock, you will need to turn it clockwise and pull it out to allow the battery to lock in place.
  4. Make sure that the battery is securely positioned and that the key is no longer in the lock.
  5. Push the "Power" button on the control panel on the handlebar. Wait for 2 seconds before turning the pedals. The drive system requires this time

when no force is applied to the pedals to adjust the power sensor correctly.

  1. The intermediate power-assist mode appears on the display panel of the LED control panel. Press the "Mode" buttons to select the amount of assistance: "gentle/LOW", "intermediate/MID" or "powerful/HIGH". Press this button once to change the assist level by one level. You can increase or reduce the assistance, depending on which "Mode" button you press.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Quickstart - 3

Always operate one of the brakes before putting one of your feet on a pedal as the motor pulls your bike away immediately. This starting assistance is very convenient, especially when starting on hills. If you start off in road traffic or on unsurfaced roads without controlling your speed, you could come off your bike and seriously injure yourself.

  1. You can now ride off.

The fundamental idea behind the Pedelec is not only to be able to cover greater distances more quickly, but also do this comfortably. You can choose to relax and let the bike do the work, exert yourself more physically, or simply to get from A to B as fast as possible. You can decide this yourself by choosing an appropriate assist level.

This gives you more confidence on the road, as the powerful acceleration gives you more control and a greater degree of security. Your Pedelec assists you with up to 250 watts of power which takes you up to the speed of 25 km/h.

In some EU countries, the Pedelec, like all other bikes, must comply with certain regulations, the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) in Germany for example. Please observe the relevant explanations and general information provided in the General User Manual.

These statutory requirements apply for a Pedelec:

  • The motor is designed only to provide pedalling assistance, i.e. it can only "assist" the rider when he/she turns the pedals.
  • The average motor output must not exceed 250 W.
  • As the speed increases, the rate at which the motor output reduces must also increase more intensely.
  • The motor must switch off once the bike reaches a speed of 25 ~km / h .

2.1 Meaning for the rider

You do not legally have to wear a helmet. In the interest of your own safety, however, you should never ride without a helmet.

  • You do not legally have to have a driving licence.
  • You do not legally have to have insurance.
  • No age restriction applies for a Pedelec.
  • The regulations governing the use of cycle paths are the same as for normal bikes.

These regulations apply to you wherever you are in the European Union. It is possible that different regulations exist in other countries, also inside the EU in individual cases. Before using your Pedelec abroad, find out about the legal situation in the relevant country.

2.2 Pushingassistance

You can have your specialist cycle shop fit what is known as "pushing assistance" to your bike.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Pushingassistance - 1

natural_image Close-up of a black automotive plug with attached control switch and lever (no visible text or symbols)

Button for pushing assistance

The pushing assistance moves the Pedelec slowly at a maximum speed of 6 km / h without you having to turn the pedals, e. g. if you are manoeuvring in a tight space or are pushing your Pedelec out of a basement garage.

In Germany, if you were born later than 01. 04. 1965, you must have a moped test certificate before you can fit the pushing assistance. If you already have another type of driving licence, this automatically includes the moped test certificate.

The pushing assistance is not suitable for use as starting assistance.

3 Charging the battery

To charge the battery, you have to take it out of the holder on the Pedelec.

Carry handle Battery charge state indicator

Grip the battery by the handle, insert the key into the lock and turn it anticlockwise. The battery is now unlocked and can be removed from the Pedelec by tilting it sideways. In doing so, hold on tight to the battery to prevent it from being dropped.

Tilt to remove

You should now remove the key and keep it in a safe place to prevent it from breaking off or being lost.

3.1 Chargingoperation

Before charging the battery, read the information on the charger carefully.

  1. Take the charger provided out of its packaging and plug the mains plug into a socket (230 V, observe type plate on the charger).

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Chargingoperation - 1

Type plate on charger: Front and back

  1. Put the battery in the docking station of the charger.

  2. The charging operation starts. The battery LEDs light up or flash. Once all 5 LEDs have gone out, the battery is fully charged. You can leave the battery standing in the charger. However, the charger always draws some current if you leave it plugged in.

  3. To save power, pull the charger plug out of the socket once the charging operation is complete.

3.2 Fitting the battery

  1. Insert the battery into the battery holder of the Pedelec from the left by tilting it outwards at roughly 45°.
  2. In doing so, you must insert the lateral guides at the bottom of the battery into the guides of the holder.
  3. Tilt the battery towards the bike until it engages in the locking mechanism. If the key is still in the lock, turn it clockwise then pull it out to lock the battery in place.
    1. Make sure the battery is firmly in place.

The control panel on the handlebar has three buttons and several display panels.

The display panel on the right next to the upper "Mode" button shows the level of active assistance via LEDs.

The "Power" button and corresponding display panel is below this.

Press the "Power" button to switch the power assist on and off.

The battery charge state is indicated by the LEDs next to this button. All three LEDs light up for two seconds when the power is switched on.

2 LEDs light up ⋯ 40–70%
1 LED lights up • 10–40%
1 LED flashes slowly ○< 10%At this point you notice a slight loss of power.
1 LED flashes quickly ○~ 0%The system shuts down shortly afterwards.

You can specify the power assist level via the "Mode" buttons. The LEDs next to the top button show the level of assistance you are currently receiving from the motor.

All three LEDs light up for two seconds when the power is switched on.

Please do not put your feet on the pedals during this time.

The power sensor is reset each time the power is switched on in order for the power supply to the motor to be precisely controlled. A load must not be applied to the sensor during this two second period.

The intermediate assist level is subsequently selected automatically.

Button for lights

Press the button shown above to switch the Pedelec lighting on and off.

If you are riding with the lights on and switch off the assistance, the lights also switch off automatically. You must therefore switch the lights on again.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Switching the light on and off - 2

You must always take the battery with you, even if you want to ride without assistance as the lights will only work with the battery.

4.2 Automaticswitch-off

If you stop and do not move your Pedelec for 10 minutes, the system switches off automatically. If you subsequently want to ride using the assistance, you will have to switch it back on via the control panel.

5 Assistance by the electric motor

5.1 Operating principle of assistance

The motor provides support as soon as you switch the assistance on and start pedalling.

The thrust delivered by the motor depends on three factors:

- Your own pedalling effort

The motor adapts to the force you apply. If you pedal harder, e.g. uphill or when setting off, the power sensor detects this and increases the thrust accordingly. However, the thrust is limited by the maximum motor output.

•The assist level you have selected

With the "high assist level/HIGH" the power delivered by the motor is double your own effort (1:2). With the "medium assist level/MID", the power delivered by the motor matches your own effort (1:1). With the "low assist level/LOW/ECO", the power delivered by the motor is half your own effort (1:0.5).

The speed at which you are currently travelling

When you set off on your Pedelec, the assistance increases as you build up your speed until your bike reaches its maximum speed of roughly 19 km / h. The assistance then reduces automatically and switches off at roughly 25 km / h. This happens irrespective of the gear you are using.

Distance

The distance you can travel using the power assist with the battery fully charged depends on several factors:

•Ambient temperature

If it is colder, you will travel a shorter distance with the same battery charge.

To maximise the distance you can travel, keep the battery in a heated room so that it is at room temperature when you fit it on your Pedelec.

As the battery discharges when the motor is in use, it generates enough of its own heat to not lose too much of its power at low temperatures.

- Selected assist level

If you want to cover a large distance assisted by the motor, select the lower gears, i.e. the ones that are easier to pedal. Also change to "low assist level/LOW".

- Handling

If you are riding in gears that are harder to pedal and select a high level of assistance, e. g. when riding uphill, the motor will provide support with plenty of power. However, this leads to higher consumption, as with driving a car at high speed on the motorway. You will therefore have to recharge the battery sooner. You can conserve energy when riding your bike not just by turning the pedals, but also by applying even pressure throughout each crank revolution.

Rate of discharge at different temperatures

•Technical condition of your Pedelec

Make sure the tyre pressure is correct. If you ride your bike with too little air in the tyres, this can significantly increase the rolling resistance. The distance you can travel also decreases if the brakes are rubbing.

•Ascents

You pedal harder when riding uphill. This is detected by the power sensor which then allows the motor to work harder.

Under ideal conditions, you can cover roughly 140 km with the battery fully charged (18 Ah). You can expect to cover a distance of roughly 85 km using different modes of operation.

5.2 Riding your Pedelec efficiently

You can monitor and influence the cost of your journeys with the Pedelec yourself. You can reduce your consumption and therefore costs by following the tips for increasing the travel distance.

The operating costs of power assist with an 18 Ah battery work out as follows:

• A new battery costs around 599 euro.
- You can cover 112 km on average with one battery charge. You can charge the battery roughly 1,100 times.
•1,100 charging cycles x 112 km = 123,200 km
•599 euros: 123,200 km = 0.47 euro cents / km
- You use roughly 0.620 kWh to fully charge the battery. Assuming a unit price of 20 euro cents / kWh, it costs you 12.4 euro cents to fully charge the battery and cover a journey length of 112 km.
- It costs you 0.20 euro cents / km to travel the minimum distance of 60 km.
- It costs you 0.09 euro cents / km to travel the maximum distance of 140 km.
- This means the cost of consumption and the battery is a maximum of 0.67 euro cents / km.

As Derby Cycle is a German manufacturer, the sample calculation is based on German energy prices. The operating costs may therefore be different in locations where other energy prices apply.

6 Battery

Your battery is a lithium cobalt battery, the ideal type of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery for this application. One of the main benefits of this type of battery is its low weight combined with a high capacity. Li-ion batteries only weigh half as much as comparable nickel metal hybride or nickel-cadmium batteries. This means you carry less battery weight and more battery power.

6.1 Straightforwardcharging

There is no memory effect. You can therefore fully recharge your battery after every trip.

Recharge the battery after every trip. This means you can set off immediately the next time you use your bike and you also increase the service life of the battery.
If you are not using the battery, you must recharge it after 6 months at the latest.

6.2 High degree of safety due to battery management

The battery cannot be damaged as a result of a short-circuit. If this were to happen, the battery management would switch off the battery.

You can simply leave the battery standing in the charger as it prevents overcharging.

6.3 Straightforwardstorage

If you do not need your battery for a while, store it at a temperature of +10 °C at three quarters of its full charge capacity.
The battery enters sleep mode to prevent it from totally discharging.
These benefits are available due to highly effective battery management that has been adapted to this specific application and by tuning the battery for operation with a 250 watt motor.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Straightforwardstorage - 1

Observe the following points to increase the service life of your Pedelec battery:

Make sure that the battery is fully charged before you ride your bike for the first time or after you have not used it for a while.
You should run the battery all the way down to empty for the first three charging cycles. This allows the battery to reach its maximum capacity.
If you continuously run the battery to empty during normal operation, this reduces its service life.
If you partially recharge the battery frequently during normal operation, this has a favourable effect on its service life.
You should therefore partially recharge the battery whenever possible: Try not to run the battery all the way down to empty and recharge it even after a short period of operation.
In the as-delivered condition, the battery is not fully charged and is in what is referred to as sleep mode. Sleep mode minimises the rate at which the battery discharges itself. If the battery is allowed to discharge unchecked for an extended period this can lead to total discharging which damages the battery. To "wake up" the battery, simply place it in the charger for one minute.
If you are having problems with the battery, place it in the charger for one minute. A reset occurs, during which the battery management disables sleep mode for example. After this, the battery will work again.
Ideally you should charge the battery at a temperature of between +10 °C and +30 °C. It takes longer to charge the battery at low temperatures, the battery will not charge up at temperatures higher than +30 °C. Ideally, you should charge and store the battery inside your house or in a warm garage when the outside temperature is low. In this case you should only fit the battery on your bike just before using it.
If you are transporting your Pedelec by car, take the battery out of its holder and transport it separately.
The battery is ideally stored for longer periods charged to 75% of its capacity at a temperature of +10°C.

6.4 Battery information system

There is a control panel with five LEDs and a button ("Push") on the side of the battery that faces outwards. The LEDs light up if you press the "Push" button. Information about the battery and its charge state is provided based on the number of LEDs that light up and the way in which they light up.

1 LED lights up · 20-0%

Capacity of 18 Ah battery (example)

Check there is sufficient charge in the battery for the journey you intend to make before setting off.
In winter the distance you can normally cover with the battery operating normally is less. Only move the battery from the warm room where you store it and fit it on your Pedelec just before you set off. This prevents low temperatures from reducing the distance you can normally travel. A corresponding diagram is provided in Chapter 12 "Technical data"
The distance you cover can vary depending on the topography, your handling, the condition of the battery and the assist level you are using.
If all diodes flash consecutively, or several flash at the same time (2 - 3 diodes), the battery is damaged.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Checking the battery capacity - 1

Before taking the battery to your specialist cycle shop to have it checked, put the battery in the charger for one minute then test it again.

6.5 Service life and warranty

6.5.1 the electric drive

The Panasonic front electric drive is a fully-developed durable and maintenance-free electric drive. It is a wear part for which a two-year warranty applies.

6.5.2 thebattery

Batteries are wear parts. Wear parts also come with a two-year warranty.

If the battery develops a fault during this period, your specialist cycle shop will of course replace it. A fault does not constitute normal ageing and battery wear.

The service life of the battery depends on different factors. The most important wear-relevant factors are

• the number of charge cycles and
• the age of the battery.

When you have fully charged and discharged your battery 1,100 times, it will still have 60% of its initial capacity, providing it has been well looked after:

BATTERYREMAINING CAPACITY~ DISTANCE COVERED
8 Ah 4.8 Ah 19,360 km
12 Ah 7.2 Ah 30,800 km
18 Ah10.8 Ah52,800 km

From a technical standpoint therefore, the battery is "used" at this point. It also goes without saying that the battery ages. Even if you do not use your battery, its capacity reduces.

Providing you can still cover the journey distances with this remaining battery capacity, you can of course continue using it. If the capacity is no longer sufficient, you can take your battery to a specialist cycle shop who will dispose of your battery and supply you with a new one.

You can extend the service life of the battery by fully recharging it after every journey, even if it is small. The Panasonic li-ion cobalt battery has no memory effect.
You can also extend the service life of the battery by using the assistance selectively. Avoid, for example, using gears that make pedalling difficult with the most powerful assist level.

7 Charger

Read the two stickers on the charger before using it for the first time.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charger - 1

Do not use other chargers. Only charge the battery using the charger provided, or a charger approved by Derby Cycle.

If a fault develops or if the battery is in sleep mode, you might be able to solve this problem by placing the battery in the charger for one minute. The battery management then checks the battery and can eliminate any faults that have occurred.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charger - 2

If used incorrectly, the device may be damaged or inflict injuries.

Before cleaning the charger, always pull the plug out of the socket to avoid a short-circuit and/or physical injury.

Only use the charger in dry rooms.
Only place the charger in a secure stable position on a suitable surface.
Do not cover the charger or place any objects on it as otherwise it could overheat and catch fire.

8 Troubleshooting

The control panel also indicates when faults and technical errors are present. If a fault occurs, the LEDs flash in a specific pattern and with a specific rhythm. This indicates the cause of the problem and makes it easier for you to find a solution.

HIGH MID LOW POWER

Control panel display

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Troubleshooting - 2

Have the electric drive inspected regularly by your specialist cycle shop. Do not carry out any work on the electric drive or battery yourself. Unless you have sufficient expertise this could lead to a serious accident. As a basic rule, always consult your specialist cycle shop if you have a problem with the electric drive or the battery.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Troubleshooting - 3

You should only have the electrical components of your Pedelec replaced with genuine parts. This makes it safer for you and avoids problems when processing warranty claims.

8.1.1 Additional possible sources of errors

If you only pedal very gently, the power assist is not enabled.
If the motor is not running and you cannot pinpoint the cause, check the buttons, cables and plugs of the electrical system.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Additional possible sources of errors - 1

If you find a break or a crack, do not try to repair the fault yourself. Take your Pedelec to a specialist cycle shop.

9 Removing the front wheel

As the motor is built into the front wheel, you must perform the following steps before you can remove the front wheel:

Take the battery out of the Pedelec.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Removing the front wheel - 1

Always remove the battery before removing the front wheel and carrying out any subsequent work on the motor as otherwise you could injure yourself.

Undo the two small hexagon socket screws on the plastic cover that is fitted to the left of the front wheel by turning them anticlockwise using a 3 mm Allen key. Keep these in a safe place. Slide the cover to the left and take it off the fork.

You can now start removing the front wheel.

Once you have put the front wheel back on, repeat these steps in reverse. This ensures that your Pe-delec will work properly.

For a detailed description on how to remove and install the front wheel, refer to the General User Manual.

The General User Manual also contains all other bicycle-related information on your Pedelec.

10 Cleaning

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Cleaning - 1

Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.

We recommend you clean your Pedelec with a damp cloth, a sponge or a brush. You can obtain suitable cleaning agents and additional information from your specialist cycle shop.

Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the battery. Although the electrical components are sealed, it is not advisable to clean the bike by spraying it with a hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This could damage your bike.

When wiping down the battery, be careful not to touch and connect the contacts on the underside. This could cause the battery to switch off.

11 Warnings

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Warnings - 1

Bear in mind that the Pedelec motor can heat up on long ascents. Be careful not to touch it with your hands, feet or legs as you could burn yourself.

The Pedelec operates using low voltage (25.2 volts). Never attempt to operate the Pedelec using power from a source other than a suitable genuine battery. The designations of approved batteries are listed in Chapter 12 "Technical data".

Live parts may be exposed when you open covers or remove parts. Connection points may also be live. Maintenance or repairs on the device when it is open and connected to the power supply must only be carried out by the specialist cycle shop.

When carrying out adjustments and maintenance or when cleaning the Pedelec, avoid crushing cables or damaging them with sharp edges.

If risk-free operation of your Pedelec cannot be assumed, take it out of operation and make sure it cannot be used until you have it checked by a specialist cycle shop. Risk-free operation is no longer possible if live parts or the rechargeable battery show signs of damage.

Keep children away from electrical appliances. If children are present, keep a close eye on them, especially if they could insert objects into the appliance through apertures in the housing as this poses the danger of fatal electric shock.

Now insert the four-pole plug of the charger into the battery charging socket.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Quickstart - 2

natural_image Close-up of a black cable inserted into a mechanical component (no visible text or symbols)

Charging the battery

  1. Insert the mains plug for the charger into the socket.

You must fully charge the battery before using it for the first time.

  1. Once all LEDs on the battery have gone out, pull the charger plug out of the battery socket. Swivel the cover back over the charging socket.

You can also remove the battery from your Pedelec and charge it in the docking station. For more information, refer to ➔ Chapter 4 "Charging the battery".

  1. If you have charged the battery in the docking station, reinsert the battery into the holder on the Pedelec from the left-hand side. Tilt the battery outwards at an angle of roughly 45^ as you do so, as you did when you took it out of the holder. Move the battery into the upright position until the locking mechanism engages. If the key is still in the lock, you will need to turn it clockwise and pull it out as otherwise the battery will not lock in place.

  2. Make sure that the battery is securely positioned and that the key is no longer in the lock.

If your Pedelec is equipped with an LCD control panel:

  1. Push the Power button on the control panel on the handlebar.

  2. The display panel now displays the medium power-assist mode SPORT. Press the arrow buttons to select the level of assistance: STAND BY (off), ECO (low), SPORT (medium) or POWER (high). Press this button once to change the level of assistance by one level. This works both ways, depending on which arrow button you press.

The following applies for bikes which are equipped with a back-pedal brake:

  1. The system will now perform a system check. "Please move the pedals" will appear on the screen. If you set off now the system will normally detect a pedal movement in the "drive" and "backpedal brake" directions. This completes the safety check, and you can ride as normal with assistance.

If you cannot feel any assistance, simply back-pedal briefly and then pedal forwards again to trigger the system check. If there is still no assistance being delivered, the instruction "Please move the pedals" will continue to be displayed. In this case you should consult a specialist dealer.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Quickstart - 3

You can now ride off just as you would if you were riding a normal bike. The motor starts providing assistance as soon as the rear wheel starts turning.

2 Legalprinciples

The essential idea behind the Pedelec is not only to be able to cover greater distances more quickly, but also more comfortably. You can choose to relax and let the bike do the work, exert yourself more physically, or simply get from A to B as fast as possible. You can decide this yourself by choosing an appropriate assist level.

This gives you more confidence on the road, as the powerful acceleration gives you more control and a greater degree of security. Your Pedelec assists you with an output that adapts to your pedalling force up to roughly 25 km/h.

In some EU countries, the Pedelec, like all other bikes, must comply with certain regulations, the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) in Germany for example. Please observe the relevant explanations and general information provided in the General User Manual.

These statutory requirements apply for a Pedelec:

  • The motor is designed only to provide pedalling assistance, i.e. it can only "assist" the rider when he/she turns the pedals.
    •The average motor output must not exceed 250 W.
  • As the speed increases, the rate at which the motor output reduces must also increase more intensely.
  • The motor must switch off once the bike reaches a speed of 25 km/h.

2.1 Meaning for the rider

  • You do not legally have to wear a helmet. In the interest of your own safety, however, you should never ride without a helmet.
  • You do not legally have to have a driving license (unless you own a model with pushing assistance, Chapter 2.2 "Pushing assistance").
  • You do not legally have to have insurance.
  • No age restriction applies for a Pedelec.
    • The regulations governing the use of cycle paths are the same as for normal bikes.

These regulations apply to you wherever you are in the European Union. It is possible that different regulations exist in other countries, also inside the EU in individual cases. Before using your Pedelec abroad, find out about the legal situation in the relevant country.

2.2 Pushingassistance

Your Pedelec is available in a version with or without pushing assistance. Your specialist cycle shop can retrofit a control panel with pushing assistance if required.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Pushingassistance - 1

natural_image Close-up of a black DSLR camera with a circular logo on the grip (no visible text or symbols)

Button for pushing assistance

The pushing assistance moves the Pedelec slowly (at a maximum speed of 6 km/h) without you having to turn the pedals, e.g. if you are manoeuvring in a tight space or are pushing your Pedelec out of a basement garage.

If you were born after 01. 04. 1965, you will need a moped test certificate for the version with pushing assistance. If you already have another type of driving licence, this automatically includes the moped test certificate.

The pushing assistance is not suitable for use as starting assistance.

3 Special features of the Pedelec with Impulse drive

Your Pedelec has special features that are designed to enhance your safety and comfort, some of which are unique worldwide.

The Impulse drive has been developed exclusively to allow a centre motor to be installed without having to dispense with the safety and convenience of a back-pedal function.

This means you can rely on three brakes; the familiar back-pedal brake and the powerful, modern rim brakes.

Rim brake, front 1 2 3

1 Rim brake, front
2 Back-pedal brake
3 Rim brake, rear

With the Impulse drive, the amount of assistance can be increased by selecting easier gears, when starting or riding uphill for example. The motor produces more power when your pedalling cadence is higher.
You can conveniently use the same key to lock/unlock your battery and, where present, your frame lock.

In contrast to a hub motor, the Impulse centre motor centre motor drive allows you to ride within the motor range that saves the most power or, if required, the range in which the highest output is available.

You can decide how you wish to put in your effort:
In the three highest gears, you can ride up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h assisted by the motor. You can, for example, go for a relaxed ride on the flat with a low pedalling cadence. However, you can also ride uphill using an easier gear and less energy, simply by making the most of the highest assisted speed. You should therefore either turn the pedals more slowly (low cadence) with more effort or turn them more quickly (high cadence) with less effort.

  1. You should now remove the key and keep it in a safe place to prevent it from breaking off or being lost.

4.1 Learning cycle

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Learning cycle - 1

After fully charging the battery for the first time and thereafter roughly once every six months, you must run the battery down until the system switches off. This procedure (a so-called "learning cycle") is necessary so that the battery management recognises the changes in the capacity caused by age and wear and tear, in other words, the performance level of the battery. Afterwards, the capacity of the battery is calculated anew and correctly represented. With this procedure, you can prevent a sudden loss of electrical assistance during an extended trip.

4.2 Chargingoperation

Before charging the battery, read the information on the charger carefully.

  1. Take the charger and docking station provided out of its packaging and plug the mains plug into a socket (230 V, please observe type plate on the charger).

natural_image Two black electronic device modules with visible labels and a cable, shown from different angles (no readable text or symbols)

Type plates on charger and docking station

To charge the battery safely, the charger must be placed on a suitable surface resting on its four feet with the LED facing upwards. This is the only way to ensure that the hot air around the battery warmed during the charging operation can dissipate via the surrounding ventilation slots.

  1. Connect the charger to the docking station. The LED in the docking station now lights up briefly in red and then permanently in green.
  2. Put the battery in the holder of the docking station. The battery and charger are connected. The LED in the charger lights up in green.

Battery in the docking station

  1. The charging operation starts. The LED in the charger now lights up green. The battery LEDs light up one by one to indicate the progress of the charging operation. The battery is charged in five stages. When charging of one stage is in progress, the cor-

responding LED flashes. If this stage has been fully charged, the LED will light up permanently. Now the next LED will begin to flash.

After all five LEDs have gone out, the battery is fully charged.

  1. If the LED of the charger flashes red permanently, a charging fault has developed.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Before charging the battery, read the information on the charger carefully. - 3

Take the battery out of the charger, then put it back in. The charger tests the battery and performs readjustments, if required. If the LED on the charger still flashes, take the charger and battery to your specialist dealer. He will test the devices and replace them, if required.

  1. To save power, pull the charger plug out of the socket once the charging operation is complete.

4.3 Fitting the battery

  1. Insert the battery into the battery holder of the Pedelec from the left by tilting it outwards at roughly 45°.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Fitting the battery - 1

natural_image Close-up of a hand adjusting a bicycle wheel component (no visible text or symbols)

Reinstalling the battery

  1. Make sure in doing so that the lateral guides at the bottom of the battery are also inserted into the guides in the holder.
  2. Tilt the battery towards the bike until it engages in the locking mechanism. If the key is still in the lock, turn it clockwise then pull it out to lock the battery in place.
  3. Make sure the battery is firmly in place.

5 Control panels

When buying your Impulse Pedelec, there are two different control panels to choose from: with an LED or LCD display. With the LED display, lit diodes display the information for you, while more information is displayed with the LCD element. In addition, text and digits are shown on the display.

Battery charge state

If the battery charge state falls below a minimum level, the system switches off. No LEDs light up on the control panel.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Battery charge state indicator - 3

If you do not move your Pedelec for 10 minutes, the system switches off automatically. If you subsequently want to ride using the assistance, you will have to switch it back on via the control panel.

5.1.5 Troubleshooting

The control panel shows you when faults occur. In such a situation, the LEDs on the battery display will show a particular flash pattern:

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Troubleshooting - 1

natural_image Three identical LED-shaped light sources with blue LED patterns, no text or symbols visible

If all of the LEDs on the battery display flash simultaneously immediately after switching the system on, this means that there is a problem with the battery communication.

In that case, switch the system off and then back on again.
If the problem occurs again, put the battery in the charger, so that the battery management can eliminate an existing problem. You can also use another approved battery.
If the flashing signal persists, have the system checked by a specialist dealer.

If, shortly after setting off or during a journey, the left-hand LED blinks briefly and then all LEDs flash, this means that one of the problems described below is present:

CAUSE SOLUTION

Spoke magnet has slipped out of positionMake sure the spoke magnet has not slipped. It should be as close as possible to the sensor on the chain stay (max. 5 mm clearance).

Speed sensor defective Have your specialist cycle shop check and, if necessary, repair it.

Cable connection defectiveHave your specialist cycle shop check and, if necessary, repair it.

No connection between motor unit and battery

Connect the battery to the charger.
Use a different battery.
Have your specialist cycle shop check the control cable that runs from the battery plug to the motor unit.

Diagram showing two labeled components (1 and 2) of a mechanical linkage or chain assembly with connecting rods and cable.

1 Spoke magnet
2 Sensor on chain stay

Only for bikes which are equipped with a back-pedal brake:

If the left-hand LED begins to flash with a long flash, followed by short flashes from all LEDs, this means that you have still to carry out the safety test for the "drive" or "back-pedal brake" pedal positions or that the positions were not recognised correctly.

In this case, move the pedals forward once and then back once, until you can feel some resistance. If the flashing signal disappears you can ride off normally. If the flashing signal continues, you can ride as if you were riding a bike without power assist. Have a specialist dealer check your error message and rectify the problem.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Troubleshooting - 3

Have the electric drive inspected regularly by your specialist cycle shop. Do not carry out any work on the electric drive or battery yourself. Unless you have sufficient expertise this could lead to a serious accident. As a basic rule, always consult your specialist cycle shop if you have a problem with the electric drive or the battery.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Troubleshooting - 4

You should only have the electrical components of your Pedelec replaced with genuine parts. This makes it safer for you and avoids problems when processing warranty claims.

If the battery charge state falls below a minimum level, the system switches off. Then the entire display fades and goes off.

If you do not move your Pedelec for 10 minutes, the system switches off automatically. If you subsequently want to ride using the assistance, you will have to switch it back on via the control panel.

5.2.5 Remaining range indicator

Below and to the right of the charge state indicator, the distance in km over which you can still travel with power assist is displayed.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Remaining range indicator - 1

This “remaining range” is calculated using two measurements taken during the current journey. One short and one long measurement give a representative average value. If the conditions of the journey change, for example, by riding up an incline after a long, flat stretch, the value displayed can also change at short notice. Please consider this factor when planning your trips.

5.2.6 Troubleshooting

5.2.6.1 Condensation appearing on the LCD display

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Troubleshooting - 1

If your bike has been exposed to wet conditions for an extended period, e.g. after a trip in heavy rain, or if there have been large differences in temperature, the screen of the LCD display may steam up. This moisture does not impair the function of the display. It is comparable with the steam on a pair of glasses when you enter a warmer room having been outside. After a short time in drier and warmer conditions, this condensation will vanish leaving no trace.

6 Assistance by the electric motor

6.1 Operating principle of assistance

If you switch on the assistance and start pedalling, the motor starts as soon as the rear wheel is turning.

•The level of assistance you have selected

With the POWER assist level, the motor assists you by producing its maximum output, which also consumes the most energy. With the SPORT assist level, the motor produces slightly less power. If you have selected ECO, you receive the least amount of assistance but have the battery's maximum range at your disposal.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - •The level of assistance you have selected - 1

line | Pedalling torque | POWER | HIGH | SPORT | MIDDLE | ECO | LOW | STANDBY | | ---------------- | ----- | ---- | ----- | ------ | --- | --- | ------- | | Power assist | 0.5 | 0.6 | 0.4 | 0.3 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.05 |

The thrust produced by the motor depends on three factors:

- Your own pedalling effort

The motor adapts to the force you apply. If you pedal harder, e.g. uphill or when setting off, the power sensor detects this and delivers more power than if you were only pedalling gently.

The assistance increases disproportionately if you pedal harder. This increase is more pronounced in the POWER mode than in the SPORT and ECO modes.

The thrust is limited by the maximum motor output.

• How fast you ride

When you set off on your Pedelec, the assistance increases as you build up speed until it reaches its maximum, just before the highest assisted speed is achieved. The assistance then reduces automatically until you reach a speed of roughly 25 km/h when it switches off. This gradual reduction makes the transition to riding without power assist seem less abrupt. This applies for the three highest gears. In all other gears, the motor switches off earlier, depending on the gear ratio. ➔ Chapter 3 “Special features of the Pedelec with Impulse drive” contains a table which shows the speeds at which the motor is switched off.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - • How fast you ride - 1

line | Speed | Propulsive power | Additional components | |-------|------------------|--------------------------| | 0 | Low | Increasing pedal power and assistance | | Max. | High | Reducing assistance | | Max. | Low | Assistance switched off |

6.2 Distance

The distance you can travel using the power assist with the battery fully charged depends on several factors:

- Ambient temperature

If it is colder, you will travel a shorter distance with the same battery charge.

To maximise the distance you can travel, keep the battery in a heated room so that it is at room temperature when you fit it on your Pedelec.

As the battery discharges when the motor is in use, it generates enough heat to not lose too much of its power at low ambient temperatures.

- Selected assist level

If you want to cover a large distance with power assist, select the smaller gears, i.e. the ones that are easier to pedal. Also select a low assist level (ECO).

- Handling

If you are riding in gears that are harder to pedal and select a high assist level, the motor will produce plenty of power to help you along. However, just as with driving a car at high speed, this leads to higher consumption. You will therefore have to recharge the battery sooner. You can conserve energy by keeping the load on the pedals even throughout the entire crank revolution.

- Technical condition of your Pedelec Make sure the tyre pressure is correct. If you ride your bike with too little air in the tyres, this can significantly increase the rolling resistance. This applies to smooth surfaces in particular, e. g. tarmac. If the ground is uneven, as on a country path or gravel track, rather low tyre pressure can lead to less rolling resistance. This also increases the risk of a puncture. Please consult your specialist cycle shop about this.

The distance you can travel also decreases if the brakes are rubbing.

- Battery capacity

The current battery capacity

Chapter 7.4.2 "Checking the battery capacity"

- Topography

You pedal harder when riding uphill. This is detected by the power sensor which then allows the motor to work harder.

Under ideal conditions, the range may reach 130 km with the 11 Ah battery and 180 km with the 15 Ah battery. These ranges have been achieved under the conditions listed below.

IMPULSE BATTERY 11 AH 15 AH

Range 130 km 180 km
Temperature 10 – 15°C 10 – 15°C
Wind speed windless windless
Average speed 22 km/h 22 km/h
Assist level ECO ECO
Weight 105 – 110 kg 105 – 110 kg

6.3 Riding your Pedelec efficiently

You can monitor and influence the cost of your journeys with the Pedelec yourself. You can reduce your consumption and therefore costs by following the tips for increasing the travel distance.

The operating costs for battery-operated power assist are calculated as follows:

• A new battery costs roughly 599 euros.
- You can cover 80 km on average with one battery charge.
- You can charge the battery roughly 1,100 times.
• 1,100 charging cycles x 80 km = 88,000 km
• 599 euros: 88,000 km = 0.68 euro cents/km
- You use roughly 0.565 kWh to fully charge the battery. Assuming a unit price of 20 euro cents/kWh, it costs you 11.3 euro cents to fully charge the battery.
- It costs you 0.14 euro cents/km to cover the average range of 80 km.
- This means that the maximum cost of consumption and the battery is 0.82 euro cents/km.

The sample calculation has been carried out based on German energy prices. The operating costs may therefore be different in locations where other energy prices apply.

7 Battery

Your battery is a lithium cobalt battery, the ideal type of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery for this application. One of the main benefits of this type of battery is its low weight combined with a high capacity. Li-ion batteries only weigh half as much as comparable nickel metal hydride or nickel-cadmium batteries. This means you carry less battery weight and more battery power.

7.1 Straightforwardcharging

There is no memory effect. You can therefore fully recharge your battery after every trip.

Recharge the battery after every trip. This means you can set off immediately the next time you use your bike and you also increase the service life of the battery.
If you are not using the battery, you only have to recharge it after 6 months.

7.1.1 Learningcycle

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Learningcycle - 1

Once you have fully charged the battery for the first time, you must run it down until the system switches off. This procedure (a so-called “learning cycle”) is necessary so that the battery management recognises the changes in the capacity caused by age and wear and tear, in other words, the performance level of the battery.

Afterwards, the capacity of the battery is calculated anew and correctly represented.

With this procedure, you can prevent a sudden loss of electrical assistance during an extended trip.

7.2 High degree of safety due to battery management

The battery cannot be damaged as a result of a short-circuit. If this were to happen, the battery management would switch off the battery.

You can simply leave the battery standing in the charger as it has in-built overcharging protection.

7.3 Straightforwardstorage

If you do not need your battery for a while, store it at a temperature of +10°C at three quarters of its full charge capacity.
The battery management switches the battery to sleep mode to prevent it from totally discharging. This can occur after different lengths of time without being used. Depending on the charge state of the battery, this can occur earlier with a lower charge and later with a higher charge. At the latest, the management system activates the sleep mode after 10 days without using the battery. The system exits sleep mode when you connect the battery to the charger or press the "Push" button on the battery.

These benefits are available due to highly effective battery management that has been adapted to this specific application and by tuning the battery for operation with a 250 watt motor.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Straightforwardstorage - 1

Observe the following points to increase the service life of your Pedelec battery:

Make sure that the battery is fully charged before you ride your bike for the first time or if you have not used it for a while.
You should run the battery all the way down to empty for the first three charging cycles. This allows the battery to reach its maximum capacity.

If you continuously run the battery to empty during normal operation, this reduces its service life.

If you partially recharge the battery frequently during normal operation, this has a favourable effect on its service life.

You should therefore partially recharge the battery whenever possible: Try not to run the battery all the way down to empty and recharge it even after a short period of operation.

In the as-delivered condition, the battery is not fully charged and is in what is referred to as sleep mode. Sleep mode minimises the rate at which the battery discharges itself. If the battery is allowed to discharge unchecked for an extended period this can lead to total discharging which damages the battery. To “wake up” the battery, simply place it in the charger for one minute.

If you are having problems with the battery, place it in the charger for one minute. A reset occurs, during which the battery management disables sleep mode for example. After this, the battery will work again.
Ideally you should charge the battery at a temperature of between +10°C and +30°C. It takes longer to charge the battery at low temperatures, the battery will not charge up at temperatures higher than +30°C. Ideally, you should charge and store the battery inside your house or in a warm garage when the outside temperature is low. In this case you should only fit the battery on your bike just before using it.
If you are transporting your Pedelec by car, take the battery out of its holder and transport it separately.
The battery should ideally be stored for longer periods with a charge of between 50% and 75% at a temperature of +10°C.

7.4 Battery information system

There is a display panel on the outer face of the battery which includes five LEDs and a button with an LED (Push). When you press the Push button, the LEDs light up. Information about the battery and its charge state is provided based on the number of LEDs that light up and the way in which they light up.

○○○○5 LEDs flash quickly 0% or overloaded *
1. LED flashes quickly Charging fault **

* All 5 LEDs flash quickly: The battery is empty and is being switched off, or is overloaded.

If the battery is overloaded, it will switch back on after a short idle period and can then be used normally.
If the battery is empty, it will work once again briefly following a short period of rejuvenation and will then switch back off. It must now be charged.

** The 1st LED flashes quickly: A charging fault is present.

If this occurs, put the battery in the docking station for a short period of time or insert the plug of the charger into the battery. The charger performs a readjustment. If the LED still flashes, take the battery to your specialist cycle shop and have it checked.

7.4.2 Checking the battery capacity

If you press the "Push" button for five seconds, the LEDs show the current capacity of the battery.

DISPLAYCAPACITY
......5 LEDs light up100 – 97%
......4 LEDs light up96 – 80%
...3 LEDs light up79 – 60%
..2 LEDs light up59 – 40%
1 LED lights up39 – 20%
1 LED flashes< 20%

The range of the battery is less in winter due to the lower temperatures. Only move the battery (from the warm room where you store it) and fit it on your Pedelec just before you set off. This will help to prevent the effect of the low temperature on the range of the battery. Chapter 7.5.2 “Service life and warranty of the battery”

7.5 Service life and warranty

7.5.1 of the drive

The Impulse centre motor is a durable maintenance-free drive. It is a wear part with a two-year warranty. As its power output is higher, wear parts such as the drive and brakes are subject to higher loads than they would be on a normal bike. Due to the greater force acting on these components, wear is more pronounced.

7.5.2 of the battery

Batteries are wear parts. Wear parts come with a two-year warranty.

If the battery develops a fault during this period, your specialist cycle shop will of course replace it. Normal ageing and battery wear do not constitute a fault.

The service life of the battery depends on different factors. The most important wear-relevant factors are

• the number of charging processes

After 1,100 charging cycles, your battery will still have 60% of its initial capacity, providing it has been well looked after. This means 6.6 Ah in an 11 Ah battery and 7.2 Ah in a 15 Ah battery. A charging cycle is defined as the sum of the individual charges until the charges reach the overall capacity of the battery.

For example: You charge the battery with 5 Ah on the first day, 2 Ah on the second day and 4 Ah on the third day; the sum is 11 Ah. The battery has thereby completed one charge cycle.

From the technical standpoint therefore, the battery is exhausted at this point. Providing you can still cover the journey distances with the remaining battery capacity, you can of course continue using it. If the capacity is no longer sufficient, you can take your battery to a specialist cycle shop who will dispose of your battery and sell you a new one.

• the age of the battery.

A battery also ages during storage.

A lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese battery loses approx. 4-5% of its initial capacity per year and a lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminium-oxygen battery approx 2-3%.

This means: Even if you do not use your battery, its capacity reduces. With everyday use, you can expect the battery to age by approximately 3-5% per year as a result of ageing and charging processes.

- You can extend the service life of the battery by fully recharging it after every journey, however short. The Impulse Li-ion battery has no memory effect.

- You can also extend the service life of the battery by using the assistance selectively.

8 Charger

Read the two type plates on the charger before using it for the first time.

You can charge your Pedelec with Impulse drive directly via a charging socket in the battery. The battery can remain on the Pedelec when the charging operation is in progress.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charger - 4

Take the battery out of the charger, then put it back in again.

If the error message appears again, the battery and charger must be checked by a specialist dealer.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charger - 5

If used incorrectly, the device may be damaged or inflict injuries.

Before cleaning the charger, always pull the plug out of the socket to avoid a short-circuit and/or physical injury.

Only use the charger in dry rooms.

Only place the charger in a secure stable position on a suitable surface.

Do not cover the charger or place any objects on it as otherwise it could overheat and catch fire.

9 Cleaning

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Cleaning - 1

Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.

We recommend you clean your Pedelec with a damp cloth, a sponge or a brush. You can obtain suitable cleaning agents and additional information from your specialist cycle shop.

Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the battery. Although the electrical components are sealed, it is not advisable to clean the bike by spraying it with a hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This could damage your bike.

When wiping down the battery, be careful not to touch and connect the contacts on the underside. This could cause the battery to switch off.

10 Warnings

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Warnings - 1

Bear in mind that the Pedelec motor can heat up on long ascents. Be careful not to touch it with your hands, feet or legs. You could burn yourself.

If you are transporting your Pedelec by car, remove the battery beforehand. Transport the battery in a safe receptacle separately to the Pedelec.

The Pedelec operates using low voltage (36 volts). Never attempt to operate the Pedelec using power from a source other than a suitable genuine battery. The designations of approved batteries are listed in Chapter 11 "Technical data".

Live parts may be exposed when you open covers or remove parts. Connection points may also be live. Maintenance or repairs on the device when it is open and connected to the power supply must only be carried out by the specialist cycle shop.

When carrying out adjustments and maintenance or when cleaning the Pedelec, avoid crushing cables or damaging them with sharp edges.

If risk-free operation of your Pedelec cannot be assumed, take it out of operation and make sure it cannot be used until you have it checked by a specialist cycle shop. Risk-free operation is no longer possible if live parts or the rechargeable battery show signs of damage.

Keep children away from electrical appliances. If children are present, keep a close eye on them, especially if there is a possibility they could insert objects into the appliance through apertures in the housing. This poses the danger of fatal electric shock.

When charging the battery, make absolutely sure the charger is correctly supported on its four feet. It must not be covered when in operation. It must be possible for the heat produced to dissipate via the surrounding ventilation slots on the top and bottom.

  2. The display panel now displays the medium power-assist mode SPORT. Press the Mode button to select the level of assistance: ECO (low), SPORT (medium) or POWER (high). Press this button once to change the level of assistance by one level. Once the POWER assist level has been activated, the assistance jumps back to ECO the next time the button is pressed.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Quickstart - 5

You can ride off just as you would if you were riding a normal bike. The power assist starts after roughly two complete crank revolutions.

  1. You can now ride off.

2 Legalprinciples

The essential idea behind the Pedelec is not only to be able to cover greater distances more quickly, but also more comfortably. You can choose to relax and let the bike do the work, exert yourself more physically, or simply get from A to B as fast as possible. You can decide this yourself by choosing an appropriate assist level.

This gives you more confidence on the road, as the powerful acceleration gives you more control and a greater degree of security. Your Pedelec provides you with power assistance, the level of which you can vary at the control panel.

In some EU countries, the Pedelec, like all other bikes, must comply with certain regulations, the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) in Germany for example. Please observe the relevant explanations and general information provided in the General User Manual.

These statutory requirements apply for a Pedelec:

  • The motor is designed only to provide pedalling assistance, i.e. it can only "assist" the rider when he/she turns the pedals.
    • The average motor output must not exceed 250 W.
  • As the speed increases, the rate at which the motor output reduces must also increase more intensely.
  • The motor must switch off once the bike reaches a speed of 25 km/h.

2.1 Meaning for the rider

  • You do not legally have to wear a helmet. In the interest of your own safety, however, you should never ride without a helmet.
  • You do not legally have to have a driving license (unless you own a model with pushing assistance, Chapter 2.2 "Pushing assistance").
  • You do not legally have to have insurance.
    • No age restriction applies for a Pedelec.
  • The regulations governing the use of cycle paths are the same as for normal bikes.

These regulations apply to you wherever you are in the European Union. It is possible that different regulations exist in other countries, also inside the EU in individual cases. Before using your Pedelec abroad, find out about the legal situation in the relevant country.

2.2 Pushingassistance

Your Pedelec is available in a version with or without pushing assistance.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Pushingassistance - 1

natural_image Close-up of a mechanical device with a circular logo and lever mechanism (no visible text or symbols)

Button for pushing assistance

The pushing assistance moves the Pedelec slowly (at a maximum speed of 6 km/h) without you having to turn the pedals, e.g. if you are manoeuvring in a tight space or are pushing your Pedelec out of a basement garage.

If you were born after 01. 04. 1965, you will need a moped test certificate for the version with pushing assistance. If you already have another type of driving licence, this automatically includes the moped test certificate.

The pushing assistance is not suitable for use as starting assistance.

3 Special features of Pedelec with Groove drive

Your Pedelec is equipped with special features that are designed to enhance your safety and comfort.

With the Groove drive, you can ride your Pedelec, and also benefit from the convenience and safety of a back-pedal function.

This means that you can rely on three brakes; the familiar back-pedal brake and the powerful, modern rim brakes.

Diagram of a bicycle with numbered parts labeled 1, 2, and 3 for identification.

1 Rim brake, front
2 Back-pedal brake
3 Rim brake, rear

The Groove drive also makes it possible to ride with power assistance even if you are only gently turning the cranks.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Special features of Pedelec with Groove drive - 2

If you decide to use the power assistance when only gently turning the cranks, you will use a much greater amount of power than if you were actively pedalling at the same time.

4 Charging the battery

You can charge the battery whilst it is on the Pe-delec (as described in ➞ Chapter 1 "Quick start").

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charging the battery - 1

natural_image Side view of a bicycle with attached charging station and cable, shown against plain background (no text or symbols visible)

6 Assistance by the electric motor

6.1 Operating principle of assistance

If you switch on the assistance and start pedalling, the motor starts up once the cranks have completed roughly two complete revolutions.

The amount of propulsion provided by the motor depends on which level of assistance you have selected.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Operating principle of assistance - 1

line | Speed (km/h) | Motor output (watts) | | ------------ | -------------------- | | 0 | 250 | | 1 | 250 | | 2 | 250 | | 3 | 250 | | 4 | 250 | | 5 | 250 | | 6 | 250 | | 7 | 250 | | 8 | 250 | | 9 | 250 | | 10 | 250 | | 11 | 250 | | 12 | 250 | | 13 | 250 | | 14 | 250 | | 15 | 250 | | 16 | 250 | | 17 | 250 | | 18 | 250 | | 19 | 250 | | 20 | 250 | | 21 | 250 | | 22 | 250 | | 23 | 250 | | 24 | 250 | | 25 | 250 |

The motor can operate with three different power output levels.

- The motor delivers a continuous output of 70 watts at the lowest level ECO, 150 watts at the medium level SPORT, and 250 watts at the highest level POWER.

- When the switch is in the POWER position, the motor assists you with the highest output and therefore also uses the most energy. If you select the SPORT assist level, the motor output is slightly lower. If you select ECO, you will receive the lowest level of assistance but will be able to use the maximum range of the battery.

- The motor provides assistance until the Pedelec reaches a speed of 25 km/h. It then switches off.

6.2 Distance

The distance you can travel using the power assist with the battery fully charged depends on several factors:

- Ambient temperature

If it is colder, you will travel a shorter distance with the same battery charge.

To maximise the distance you can travel, keep the battery in a heated room so that it is at room temperature when you fit it on your Pedelec.

As the battery discharges when the motor is in use, it generates enough heat to not lose too much of its power at low ambient temperatures.

• Level of assistance selected

If you wish to ride a long distance assisted by the motor, select a low level of assistance (ECO).

- Riding approach

You can ride assisted almost entirely by the motor by turning the pedals very gently. However, this uses more battery power. You can save power by putting in more effort when turning the pedals.

• Technical condition of your Pedelec

Make sure that the tyre pressure is correct. If you ride your bike with too little air in the tyres, this can significantly increase the rolling resistance. This applies to smooth surfaces in particular, e. g. tarmac. If the ground is uneven, as on a country path or gravel track, rather low tyre pressure can lead to less rolling resistance. This also increases the risk of a puncture. Please consult your specialist dealer about this.

The distance you can travel also decreases if the brakes are rubbing.

- Topography

The motor uses more power when riding in hilly rather than flat terrain.

6.3 Riding your Pedelec efficiently

You can monitor and influence the cost of your journeys with the Pedelec yourself. You can reduce your consumption and therefore costs by following the tips for achieving a long range.

The operating costs for battery-operated power assist are calculated as follows:

• A new battery costs roughly 359 euros.
- You can cover 45 km on average with one battery charge.
- You can charge the battery roughly 1,100 times.
• 1,100 charging cycles x 45 km = 49,500 km
• 359 euros: 49,500 km = 0.7 euro cents / km
- You use roughly 0.47 kWh to fully charge the battery. Assuming a unit price of 20 euro cents / kWh, it costs you 9.4 euro cents to fully charge the battery.
- It costs you 0.2 euro cents / km to cover the average range of 45 km.
- This means that the maximum cost of consumption and the battery is 0.9 euro cents/km.

The sample calculation has been carried out based on German energy prices. The operating costs may therefore be different in locations where other energy prices apply.

7 Battery

Your battery is a lithium cobalt battery, the ideal lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery type for this application. One of the main benefits of this type of battery is its low weight combined with a high capacity. Li-Ion batteries only weigh half as much as comparable nickel metal hydride or nickel-cadmium batteries. This means you carry less battery weight and more battery power.

7.1 Straightforwardcharging

There is no memory effect. You can therefore fully recharge your battery after every trip.

Recharge the battery after every trip. This means you can set off immediately the next time you use your bike and you also increase the service life of the battery.
If you are not using the battery, you only have to recharge it after 6 months.

7.2 High degree of safety due to battery management

The battery cannot be damaged as a result of a short-circuit. If this were to happen, the battery management would switch off the battery.

You can simply leave the battery standing in the charger as the device has in-built overcharging protection.

7.3 Straightforwardstorage

If you do not need your battery for a while, store it at a temperature of +10°C when the battery charge is between 50 and 75%.

These benefits are available due to highly effective battery management that has been adapted to this specific application and by tuning the battery for operation with a 250 watt motor.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Straightforwardstorage - 1

Observe the following points to increase the service life of your Pedelec battery:

Make sure that the battery is fully charged before you ride your bike for the first time or if you have not used it for a while.
You should run the battery all the way down to empty for the first three charging cycles. This allows the battery to reach its maximum capacity.

If you continuously run the battery to empty during normal operation, this reduces its service life.

If you partially recharge the battery frequently during normal operation, this has a favourable effect on its service life.

You should therefore partially recharge the battery whenever possible: Try not to run the battery all the way down to empty and recharge it even after short periods of operation.

If you are having problems with the battery, place it in the charger for one minute. This resets the battery. After this, the battery will work again.

Ideally you should charge the battery at a temperature of between +10°C and +30°C. It takes longer to charge the battery at low temperatures, the battery will not charge up at temperatures higher than +30°C. Ideally, you should charge and store the battery inside your house or in a warm garage when the outside temperature is low. In this case you should only fit the battery on your bike just before using it.

If you are transporting your Pedelec by car, take the battery out of its holder and transport it separately.

The battery should ideally be stored for longer periods with a charge of between 50% and 75% at a temperature of +10°C.

7.4 Battery information system

There is a display panel on the top of the battery which contains four LEDs and a button. The LEDs light up if you press the button. Information about the battery and its charge state is provided based on the number of LEDs that light up and the way in which they light up.

7.5 Battery charge state

Press the switch on the battery briefly to activate the LEDs and see the current battery charge state.

CAUTION *Store in cool and dry place! *Do not expose the product to fire, water or moisture!

Charge state indicator

DISPLAY BATTERY CHARGE STATE

·····4 LEDs light up 100–75%
···3 LEDs light up75–50%
···2 LEDs light up50–25%
1 LED lights up25–0%

If the battery is empty, it will work once again briefly following a short period of rejuvenation and will then switch back off. It must now be charged.
Check the battery charge before every trip to make sure it is sufficient for the planned journey.

Long charging times Optimum temperature range for charging process Battery may be damaged -10°C 0°C 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C 50°C

Charging times at different temperatures

The range of the battery is less in winter due to the lower temperatures. Only move the battery from the warm room where you store it and fit it on your Pedelec just before you set off. This will help reduce the effect of the low temperature on the range of the battery.

The distance you can cover can vary depending on the topography, the condition of the battery and the assist level you are using.

7.6 Service life and warranty

7.6.1 of the drive

The Groove hub motor is a durable maintenance-free drive. It is a wear part with a two-year warranty. As its power output is higher, wear parts such as the tyres and brakes are subject to higher loads than they would be on a normal bike. Due to the greater force acting on these components, wear is more pronounced.

7.6.2 of the battery

Batteries are wear parts. Wear parts come with a two-year warranty.

If the battery develops a fault during this period, your specialist cycle shop will of course replace it. Normal ageing and battery wear do not constitute a fault.

The service life of the battery depends on different factors. The most important wear-relevant factors are

• the number of charging cycles and
• the age of the battery.

According to the technical definition, the battery is used if its capacity is only 60% in the new condition.

The battery of course also ages over time. Even if you do not use your battery, its capacity reduces. In general, the battery is expected to age at a rate of 5% per year.

Providing you can still cover the journey distances with the remaining battery capacity, you can of course continue using it. If the capacity is no longer sufficient, you can take your battery to a specialist cycle shop who will dispose of your battery and sell you a new one.

You can extend the service life of the battery by fully recharging it after every journey, however short. The Groove Li-Ion battery has no memory effect.
You can also extend the service life of the battery by using the assist levels selectively. Avoid riding with a high assist level when you are only gently turning the pedals.

8 Charger

Read the two identification plates on the charger before using it for the first time.

You can charge your Pedelec with Groove drive directly by connecting the plug of the charger to the battery.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charger - 1

Charging the battery

The battery can remain on the Pedelec during the charging process.

You can also remove the battery from the holder on the Pedelec and charge it somewhere else. This recommended if it is cold outside, in order to charge the battery in a warm room.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charger - 2

natural_image Black electronic device with attached power adapter and cable, no visible text or symbols

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charger - 3

Do not use other chargers. Only charge the battery using the charger provided, or a charger approved by us.

If a problem occurs, remove the battery from the Pe-delec and place it briefly in the charger. The charger tests the battery and corrects any faults that may be present.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charger - 4

If used incorrectly, the device may be damaged or inflict injuries.

Before cleaning the charger, always pull the plug out of the socket to avoid a short-circuit and/or physical injury.

Only use the charger in dry rooms.

Only place the charger in an upright, secure and stable position on a suitable surface.

Do not cover the charger or place any objects on it as otherwise it could overheat and catch fire.

9 Removing the front wheel

If you need to remove the front wheel, to repair a puncture for example, this can be done in the same way as removing the front wheel of a normal bike, excluding one procedure.

The first thing you must do before releasing the front wheel is to open the connection to the front wheel motor.

Undo the locking nut for the electrical connector which is located on the back of the fork. Take the upper half of the connector in one hand and the lower half in the other and pull the two halves apart.

Technical diagram of a mechanical pipe assembly with numbered components and labeled parts

1 Locking nut 2 Cable tie

The lower half of the connector and the power cable are fastened to the fork with two cable ties.

Slide the cable ties down and off the fork. You can now remove the front wheel. You can find corresponding instructions in the section of this User Manual that deals with general bike technology. If you take the front wheel out of the fork, also pull the cable and cable tie off the fork.

To reinstall the front wheel, slide the cable tie with cable onto the fork leg before positioning the wheel in the fork. Install the front wheel as described in the general section of this User Manual.

Next, reattach the two halves of the connector and screw the lock nut firmly back on. Slide the two cable ties back up the fork until they remain in place of their own accord and cannot slip.

10 Cleaning

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Cleaning - 1

Remove the battery before you clean your Pedelec.

We recommend you clean your Pedelec with a damp cloth, a sponge or a brush. You can obtain suitable cleaning agents and additional information from your specialist cycle shop.

Make sure when cleaning that water does not enter the battery. Although the electrical components are sealed, it is not advisable to clean the bike by spraying it with a hose or a high-pressure cleaner. This could damage your bike.

When wiping down the battery, be careful not to touch and connect the contacts on the underside. This could cause the battery to switch off.

If risk free operation of your Pedelec cannot be assumed, take it out of operation and make sure it cannot be used until you have it checked by a specialist cycle shop. Risk-free operation is no longer possible if live parts or the rechargeable battery show signs of damage.
Keep children away from electrical appliances. If children are present, keep a close eye on them, especially if there is a possibility they could insert objects into the appliance through apertures in the housing. This poses the danger of fatal electric shock.
When charging the battery, make absolutely sure the charger is correctly supported on its four feet. It must not be covered when in operation. The heat produced by the battery must be able to dissipate.
Always engage the brake if you are at a traffic light. If you move the pedals by accident, this could start up the motor and cause the bike to set off.

11 Warnings

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Warnings - 1

Bear in mind that the Pedelec motor can heat up on long ascents. Be careful not to touch it with your hands, feet or legs. You could burn yourself.
If you are transporting your Pedelec by car, remove the battery beforehand. Transport the battery in a safe receptacle, separately to the Pedelec.

The Pedelec operates using low voltage (36 volts). Never attempt to operate the Pedelec using power from a source other than a suitable genuine battery.

Live parts may be exposed when you open covers or remove parts. Connection points may also be live. Maintenance or repairs on the device when it is open and connected to the power supply must only be carried out by the specialist cycle shop.

WARNING

BionX batteries shall only be recharged with BionX chargers or BionX power supplies.

Never short circuit the battery by connecting the contacts of the battery. Never open the battery. This could damage the battery and possibly lead to overheating or ignition of the battery. The battery cannot be serviced by the user. Opening the battery case voids all warranty and product liability claims. Never use a battery which has obvious damage to the housing or the connector.

Make sure that the battery is no longer connected to the power supply once the charging operation is complete. The Lithium Manganese battery cells have a low self-discharge rate, therefore a continuous connection of the battery to the power supply is not necessary. We recommend that you fully charge the battery when it will not be used for a longer period of time, for example, before storing it for the winter, and then recharge the battery at minimum every three months.

It is best to store the battery in a cool location at temperatures between 10 °C and 25 °C. Never store the battery in locations where the temperatures can reach more than 45 °C or fall below -10 °C. The battery should never be exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations or humidity, and always protect the battery during storage from humidity to prevent corrosion on the connectors. Never drop the battery, and protect it from physical damage. Damage may lead to short-circuits, and as a result cause overheating or ignition of the battery.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - WARNING - 1

Used batteries may not be disposed of in regular household trash!

Be aware that used batteries must be disposed of properly!

DERBY BionX batteries can be returned at DERBY dealerships free of charge.

Charging the battery:

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charging the battery: - 1

WARNING

Only use the BionX power supply that was supplied with the bicycle to charge the battery. The use of other power supplies can damage the battery.

The BionX power supply should be used exclusively for rechargeable batteries of the specified type. The use of the BionX power supply with batteries that are not rechargeable may damage those and could lead to overheating, or ignition of the battery. Keep the power supply away from water or moisture when charging and/or connected to prevent electrical shock or short-circuits.

Do not use a power supply that has obvious signs of damage to the cable, housing or the connector.

Extreme temperatures will affect battery life, especially during charging. Avoid charging in direct sunlight or in very hot or cold temperatures. This will reduce the life of the battery considerably. We recommend charging the battery at temperatures around 20 °C (room temperature). The battery should be warmed to room temperature before it is charged, particularly when it was exposed to cold temperatures during a ride.

The battery can be charged when mounted on the bicycle or removed from the battery docking station. A Lithium Manganese battery does not have a memory effect, which means that the battery's maximum energy capacity is not affected if it is repeatedly recharged after only being partially discharged. The battery does not need to be completely drained before charging. We recommend charging the battery after every ride, preferably when the battery state of charge display shows less than 50%. We recommend that you fully charge the battery when it will not be used for a longer period of time, for example, before storing it for the winter, and then recharge the battery at minimum every three months. When the battery is depleted to the level where there is risk it could fall into deep discharge, the battery will signal that a recharge is needed by beeping.

natural_image Technical line drawing of a cylindrical mechanical component with threaded end (no text or symbols)

LED-Ring green = chargedLED-Ring

amber = charging

  • Connect power supply and battery by inserting the charge connector into the touch port – the system can be turned on or off
  • Connect the plug of the power supply with the power outlet
  • The battery touch port (LED ring around the charging connector) lights up according to the actual state of charge of the battery and then turns to AMBER during the charging process
  • After a complete charge the colour of the LED ring changes to GREEN. The battery is then fully charged and the charging process is complete
    • Following this procedure the charging connector should be disconnected
  • During the charging process you can check the battery state of charge through the console if the battery is connected to the system - system can be switched on while it is charged

The battery is fully charged after about 3 to 4 hours. Make sure that a completely charged battery is no longer connected to the charger after the charging procedure is completed.

Checking Battery State of Charge

  • Swipe your finger slowly over the touch port.
    • Battery state of charge LED will illuminate.

Assist Mode / Generate Mode

The BionX propulsion system operates in four assist levels in the assistance mode, and in four charging levels in the generate mode. In the assistance mode, your pedalling is assisted proportionally by an electric motor that drives the rear wheel. A torque sensor is located on the axle of the electric motor and measures the effort provided by the rider; this produces natural feeling assistance from the motor.

When in generate mode the electric motor functions as a generator and recharges the battery. When going downhill, you can regulate your speed by varying the generate level. This generate function provides a certain braking effect, however it does not replace legally required brakes. If either one of the two brake levers (depending on bike model) is pulled, the drive system automatically enters generate mode. The range can therefore be extended up to 15%, depending on the road conditions.

Assistance Level (A) Degree of Assist Riding Situation
1 35% Riding on level ground
2 75% Slight inclines, head wind
3 150% Steep hills, strong head wind
4 300% Very steep roads
Generation Level (G)
1 Slight downhill grade, tailwind
2 Significant downhill grade, tailwind
3 Steep descent

We recommended the removal and installation of the rear wheel to be done by a qualified dealer.

Should you have to do this yourself, please follow the instructions below:

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - WARNING - 1

WARNING

Always turn off the propulsion system prior to plugging in or unplugging the motor cables.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

It is absolutely essential that the axle nuts are tightened with a torque of 40Nm/30lb-ft; this ensures that the propulsion system functions properly. Ensure the torque reaction collar is fully inserted into the dropout.

Hydraulic disc brake: Do not pull the brake lever with the brake disc on the rear wheel removed from the caliper. Insertion of the wheel can be difficult or impossible as the brake pads will prevent brake disc from sliding in place.

To Remove the rear wheel

• Make sure that the system is turned off
- Remove the neoprene covers (Fig. 1)
• Unplug the two cable connections that lead to the motor (Fig. 2)

First COMMUNICATION 1, then POWER 2

  • Disconnect the cable guide from the rear wheel brake (only on bicycles with V-brakes)
  • Loosen the axle nut on the rear wheel using a 15mm ring wrench (Fig. 3)
  • Slide the rear wheel downwards out of the drop out

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with rotating arms and internal blades (no text or symbols)

Installing the rear wheel

  • Guide the rear wheel axle into the two dropouts and make sure that the brake disc (on models with disc brakes) is inserted between the brake pads
  • Also make sure that the flat area at the left of the rear axle (torque reaction collar) is aligned so that it fits into the left dropout
    • Install the rear wheel with both sides of the axle inserted all the way in the dropouts
  • Tighten the axle nuts on the rear wheel with 40Nm/30lb-ft (= VERY TIGHT!). This torque is essential for the correct function of the propulsion system. If you do not have a torque wrench, use a normal ring wrench. Have your dealer check the torque of the axle nuts as quickly as possible. Use only the original axle nuts; otherwise you run the risk of damaging the axle threads.
  • Keep the motor cables clear of the brake disc (on models with disc brakes)
  • Plug in the cable connections (POWER ^1 before COMMUNICATION ^2 ) and place the larger neoprene cover over the plug-in connections, and the smaller neoprene cover closer to the disc to prevent the cables from wear.
  • Now replace the cable pull. Re-install the cable guide of the rear wheel brake (V-brakes only), and correctly adjust the rear wheel brake.

Maintenance and Care

We recommend to have the spoke tension of the rear wheel and the torque of all screws checked by your qualified dealer after the first 200km.

In order to ensure extended use of the propulsion system, all plug-in contacts of the system should be checked every two to three months and cleaned with a soft and dry brush, if necessary. It must be ensured that no dirt or humidity penetrates the battery docking station when the battery is removed. The electric motor is a brushless DC-motor that does not have to be serviced.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Maintenance and Care - 1

CAUTION

Never use a high pressure washer or a garden hose to clean the propulsion system. The force of a water jet could damage the electrical components of the propulsion system.

We recommend a soft sponge or a soft brush to clean the bicycle. Use a moist rag to clean the battery's docking station. Always use very little water and keep water away from the electrical contacts. Check the plug-in connections for moisture after cleaning and let these dry, if necessary, before reusing the bicycle.

BionX Key Number

The system does not turn on

Check the battery and make sure that it is charged. The battery must be correctly inserted in the docking station and the lock must be completely closed. Also check that all connectors of your wiring harness are properly engaged. If the problem persists, contact your authorized dealer.

The system can be turned on but there is no assist

Check that the cables running from the battery to the motor are properly connected. If the problem persists, contact your authorized dealer.

The system is continuously in generate mode

When the propulsion system is continuously in generate mode and cannot be switched back to assist mode by pushing the +key, the problem most likely lies with the brake switches that are located at the brake levers. In this case try to "repair" the system by turning it off and then on again. If that does not solve the problem, you can temporarily bypass it by removing the plug-in connection from the console to the brake-switch.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - The system is continuously in generate mode - 1

WARNING

If you bypass the brake switches you also disable regenerative breaking.

In doing so your system will not provide any brake support.

We recommend that you contact your dealer as soon as possible.

The motor is not as powerful after a repair or service

Tighten the nuts of the rear axle with the specified torque (40Nm/30lb-ft). If the problem is not solved please contact your dealer.

The battery state of charge display on the console does not show "full" after a complete charging procedure

Make sure that you have followed all of the instructions for the charging procedure. Let the battery cool off for a few hours and then recharge it again. If the problem's still not solved, let the battery cool again, fully deplete the battery and charge it again. If the problem persists, contact your authorized dealer.

Assembly

Inserting and Removing the Battery

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

Positioning the Holder of the Drive HMI

▶ Tighten screws 10 and 9 with a tightening torque of 1 Nm (max.). Otherwise, the holder 2 can become damaged.

Moving/Tilting the Holder (see figure A)

Loosen both screws 9 on the bottom side of holder 2. Move the holder on the handlebar or change the holder angle. Retighten both screws 9 again with a tightening torque of 1 Nm (max.).

Turning the Holder (see figure B)

Loosen screw 10 on the top side of holder 2. Turn the top part of the holder in such a manner that the drive HMI 1 is well in your view after inserting it (see "Inserting and Removing the Drive HMI"). Retighten screw 10 again with a tightening torque of 1 Nm (max.).

Inserting and Removing the Drive HMI (see figure C)

To insert the drive HMI, place it turned by approx. 30^ onto holder 2 and then turn it clockwise to the stop.

To remove the drive HMI, turn it approx. 30° anticlockwise and pull it out of the holder 2.

▶ Remove the drive HMI when parking the eBike, so that the drive cannot be used by unauthorised persons. Without the drive HMI, the drive cannot be switched on.

Checking the Speed Sensor (see figure D)

The speed sensor 11 and its spoke magnet 12 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 clearance between speed sensor 11 and spoke magnet 12 is too small or too large, or if the speed sensor 11 is not properly connected, the speed indication a will fail, and the eBike drive will operate in emergency mode. In this case, loosen the screw of the spoke magnet 12 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. When the speed is still not being indicated in the speed indication a after this, please refer to an authorised bicycle dealer.

Operation

Initial Operation

Requirements

The drive of your eBike can only be activated when the following requirements are met:

– A sufficiently charged battery is inserted (see operating instructions of the battery).
- The drive HMI is properly inserted in the holder (see “Inserting and Removing the Drive HMI”, page English-2).
- The drive HMI is properly connected (see "Checking the Speed Sensor", page English-3).

Switching the Drive On/Off

Insert the battery into the holder and switch it on via the On/Off button (see operating instructions of the battery).

Note: When switching on the battery, the pedals of the eBike may not be subject to load, as otherwise the output capacity of the drive will be limited.

If the battery was inadvertently switched on with load applied to the pedals, then switch it off and then on again without load.

Switching on the battery also switches on the display of the drive HMI. The drive HMI indicates the charge condition of the battery as well as the settings of the drive unit.

The drive is activated as soon as you step into the pedals (except when in start-assistance mode, see “Switching Start-assistance On/Off”, page English-4). The assistance level depends on the settings of the drive HMI.

As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal operation, or as soon as you have reached a speed of 45 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 45 km/h.

To switch off the drive, switch the battery off via the On/Off button (see operating instructions of the battery).

When no power output of the drive is requested for approx. 10 minutes, (e.g., because the eBike is parked), the battery automatically switches off to save energy.

Indications and Settings of the Drive HMI

Note: Indications and settings on the drive HMI are only possible when the eBike battery is switched on. The drive HMI does not have an own power supply.

Charge Condition of the Battery

Besides on the charge-control indicator on the battery itself, the charge condition can also be read from indicator g of the drive HMI.

On indicator g, each bar of the battery symbol is equivalent to a capacity of approx. 20 %:

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charge Condition of the Battery - 1

100 % to 80 % capacity

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charge Condition of the Battery - 2

20 % to 5 % capacity; the battery should be recharged.

Raleigh Superbe Comfort - Charge Condition of the Battery - 3

Less than 5 % capacity; drive assistance is no longer possible. The LEDs of the

charge-control indicator on the battery go out. When the eBike lighting is powered via the battery (country-specific), the capacity upon first indication of the empty battery symbol will be sufficient for approx. 2 hours of lighting. When the symbol begins to flash, the lighting will continue to operate only for a short period.

Adjusting the Assistance Mode

The level of assistance of the eBike drive when pedaling can be adjusted via the drive HMI.

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

A maximum of four assistance modes are available:

ECO

“ECO”: Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for maximum cruising range

FOUR

"TOUR": Uniform assistance, for touring with long cruising range

SPORT

"SPORT": Powerful assistance for sportive riding off road as well as for urban traffic

SPEED

"SPEED": Maximum assistance, supporting highest cadence for sportive riding

To change the assistance mode, press the

“mode” button 4 until the desired mode is displayed in indicator f.

While using the start-assistance function, indication f goes out; the set assistance mode is stored.

Adjusting the Assistance Level

In the set assistance mode, the assistance level can be adjusted anytime, even during riding.

Note: For individual versions, it is possible that the assistance level is pre-set and cannot be changed.

A maximum of three assistance levels as well as the assistance shut-off are possible.

Assistance degree* at:Assistance level
Assistance mode “1” “2” “3”
“ECO”30 % 60 % 100 %
“TOUR”45 % 80 % 120 %
“SPORT”70 % 140 % 180 %
“SPEED”90 % 160 % 250 %
* The assistance degree can vary for individual versions.

To increase the assistance level, press the ▲ button 6 until the desired level is displayed in indicator c.

To decrease the assistance level, press the ▼ button 7 until the desired level is displayed in indicator c.

In assistance level “0”, the drive is switched off. The eBike can be operated as a normal bicycle through pedaling.

While using the start-assistance function, indication c goes out; the set assistance level is stored.

Switching Start-assistance On/Off

Start-assistance can be used for additional support on the first meters when starting is difficult (e.g., at a traffic light or when starting uphill). It can also be used as a pushing aid when in the lowest gear.

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

To activate the start-assistance function, press the ▲ button 6 longer than 1 second and continue to hold. The eBike drive is activated, indicator d flashes and indicators c, e and f go out.

Notes on Riding with the eBike Drive

When does the eBike Drive Operate?

The eBike drive supports you when riding, as long as you step into the pedals. Without pedaling, there is no assistance. The degree of assistance 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 mode and level.

The eBike drive automatically switches off at speeds in excess of 45 km/h. When the speed falls below 45 km/h, the drive is automatically available again.

An exception applies for the start-assistance function, in which the eBike can be driven at low speed without pedaling.

The eBike can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without assistance at any time, by either switching off the battery or setting the assistance level to "0". The same applies when the battery is empty.

Interaction of the eBike Drive with the Bicycle Gears

The bicycle gears should be used as with a normal bicycle, even with eBike drive (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.

Try out the different assistance modes and assistance levels. As soon as you feel safe, you can participate in traffic with the eBike as with any other bicycle.

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

Influences on the Operating Range

With a fully charged battery and an efficient riding manner, an operating range of up to 105 km is possible.

However, the operating range depends on many factors, such as:

  • Assistance mode and level
    – Gear-switching behaviour,
    – Bicycle tires and tire pressure,
    – Age and condition of the battery,
  • Route profile (inclines) and road or path conditions (road or path surface),
  • Head wind and ambient temperature,
  • Weight of the eBike, rider and equipment/luggage

For these reasons, it is not possible to predict an accurate operating range before starting your ride. General rules:

- For the same assistance level of the eBike drive: The less power or force that you have to bring about to reach a certain speed (e.g. through optimal use of the gears), the less energy the eBike drive will consume, and the greater the range for a battery charge.

- The higher the selected assistance degree (assistance mode and 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, drive HMI and battery against extreme temperatures (e.g. from intense sunlight without adequate ventilation). The components (especially the battery) can become damaged through extreme temperatures.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Keep all components of your eBike clean, especially the battery contacts and corresponding holders. Clean them carefully with a soft, damp cloth.

All components including the drive unit may not be immersed in water or cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner.

For service or repairs on the eBike, please refer to an authorised bicycle dealer.

After-sales Service and Customer Assistance

▶ Place the battery only on clean surfaces. In particular, avoid contaminating the charge socket and the contacts, e.g. by means of sand or ground.

Checking the Battery Before Using for the First Time

Check the battery before charging it or using it with your eBike for the first time.

For this, press the On/Off button 16 to switch on the battery. When no LED of the charge-control indicator 15 lights up, the battery may be damaged.

When at least one, but not all LEDs of the charge-control indicator 15 is lit, then fully charge the battery before using for the first time.

▶ Do not charge a damaged battery and do not use it. Please refer to an authorised bicycle dealer.

Charging the Battery

▶ Use only the charger listed on the graphics page. Only this charger is matched to the lithium-ion battery used in your eBike.

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the charger before using for the first time.

The battery must be removed from the eBike for charging.

For charging the battery, read and observe the operating instructions of the battery charger.

The battery can be charged any time without reducing the battery life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not cause damage to the battery.

The battery is equipped with a temperature control indicator, which enables charging only within a temperature range between 0 °C and 40 °C. This provides for a long life of the battery.

Charge-control Indicator

When the battery is switched on, the five green LEDs of the charge-control indicator 15 indicate the charge condition of the battery.

In this, each LED indicates approx. 20 % capacity. When the battery is completely charged, all five LEDs light up.

Additionally, the charge condition of the switched on battery is indicated on the drive HMI. Read and observe the and operating instructions of the drive unit and the drive HMI.

When the capacity of the battery is below 5 %, all LEDs of charge-control indicator 15 on the battery go out; however, the drive HMI does provide an additional indication.

Inserting and Removing the Battery (see figures E-F)

▶ Always switch the battery off when inserting or removing it from the holder. When the battery is inserted yet empty, please also observe the drive HMI indication. Otherwise, the battery can become damaged.

In order for the battery to be inserted, the key 17 must be inserted into the lock 18 and the lock must be unlocked.

Operation

Initial Operation

▶ Use only original Bosch batteries approved for your eBike by the manufacturer. Using other batteries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard. When using other batteries, Bosch shall not assume any liability and warranty.

Switching On and Off

Before switching on the battery, check that the lock 18 is locked.

Note: When switching on the battery, the pedals of the eBike may not be subject to load, as otherwise the output capacity of the drive will be limited.

To switch on the battery, press the On/Off button 16. The LEDs of indicator 15 light up and at the same time indicate the charge condition.

Note: When the battery capacity is below 5 %, none of the LEDs of charge-control indicator 15 will light up. Only the drive HMI will indicate if the battery is switched on.

Switching on the battery is one of the requirements for starting up the eBike drive. Read and observe the operating instructions of the drive unit and the drive HMI.

To switch off the battery, press the On/Off button 16 again. The LEDs of indicator 15 go out. This also switches off the eBike drive.

When no power output of the drive is requested for approx. 10 minutes, (e.g., because the eBike is parked), the battery automatically switches off to save energy.

The battery is protected against deep discharging, overcharging, overheating and short-circuiting through the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. In case of hazardous situations, a protective circuit automatically switches off the battery.

Notes for Optimum Handling of the Battery

At least 500 full charging cycles are guaranteed for the battery.

The battery life can be prolonged when being properly maintained and especially when being operated and stored at the right temperatures. Operating temperatures between +5 °C and +35 °C are recommended.

With increasing age, however, the battery capacity will diminish, even when properly maintained.

A significantly reduced operating period after charging indicates that the battery is worn out and must be replaced.

In case the carrying strap 22 of the standard battery widens, please have it replaced by a bicycle dealer.

Recharging the Battery prior to and during Storage

When not using the battery for a longer period, charge it to approx. 60 % (3 to 4 LEDs lit on the charge-control indicator 15).

Check the charge condition after 6 months. When only one LED of the charge-control indicator 15 lights up, recharge the battery again approx. 60 %.

Note: When the battery is stored discharged (empty) for longer periods, it can become damaged despite the low self-discharging and the battery capacity may be strongly reduced.

It is not recommended to have the battery connected permanently to the charger.

Storage Conditions

Store the battery in a dry, well-ventilated location. Protect the battery against moisture and water. Under unfavourable weather conditions, it is recommended e.g. to remove the battery from the eBike and store it in an enclosed location until being used again.

The battery can be stored at temperatures between -10 ^ and +60 ^ . For a long battery life, however, storing the battery at a room temperature of approx. 20 ^ is of advantage.

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.
