Notes on Riding with the eBike System
When does the eBike Drive Unit Operate?
The eBike drive unit assists you when riding, as long as you
step on the pedals. Without pedaling, there is no assis-
tance. The motor output always depends on the amount of
your pedaling power.
When applying less pedaling power, the assistance or sup-
port will be lower than when applying a lot of pedaling pow-
er. This applies independent of the assistance level.
The eBike motor assistance automatically switches off at
speeds in excess of 20 mph. When the speed falls below
20 mph, the motor assistance is automatically available
again.
The eBike can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without as-
sistance at any time, by either switching off the eBike sys-
tem or setting the assistance level to
“OFF”
. The same ap-
plies when the battery pack is empty.
Interaction of the eBike System with the Bicycle Gears
The bicycle gears should be used as with a normal bicycle,
even with eBike motor assistance (please follow the operat-
ing instructions for 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 on the
drive train.
By selecting the right gear, you can increase the speed and
range with the same pedaling effort.
Test the operating range of your eBike under different con-
ditions before planning longer and more challenging rides.
Read and understand the “Influences on the Operat-
ing Range” section below before planning your ride.
Influences on the Operating Range
The operating range depends on many factors, such as the
following:
– Assistance level,
– Gear-switching behavior,
– Bicycle tires and tire pressure,
– Age and condition of the battery pack,
– Route profile (inclines) and road or path conditions
(road or path surface),
– Headwind and ambient temperature,
– Weight of the eBike, rider and equipment/luggage.
