The following options are available for switching off the Carqon system:
•
Press the on/off button (1) of the on-board computer with the battery inserted.
•
Press the on/off button of the cargo bike battery (see battery operating instructions).
5.4.2 Setting the assistance level
On the on board computer (9), you can set the level of assistance you want while pedalling. The
assistance level can be changed at any time, even while cycling. The following assistance levels are
available as a maximum:
●
OFF: Motor assistance is switched off. The Carqon can just be moved by pedalling, as with a
normal bicycle. The walk assistance cannot be activated at this assistance level.
●
ECO: Light assistance with maximum efficiency, for maximum range.
●
TOUR: Steady assistance, with a long range for touring.
●
SPORT: Powerful assistance for cycling in urban areas.
●
TURBO: Maximum assistance for maximum speed or when driving uphill.
The extent of the assistance will be automatically set depending on:
•
Selected level of assistance.
•
Pedalling force.
•
Load and speed.
•
Terrain.
The electrical drive will assist you when pedalling up to a speed of 25 km/h or 15.5 mph. If you reach
a higher speed than 25 km/h or 15.5 mph, the electrical drive will automatically switch off. If the
speed falls below 25 km/h or 15.5 mph, the electrical drive will once again automatically switch on. To
increase the assistance level, press the + button (6) on the operating unit repeatedly until the required
assistance level appears on indicator (i). To decrease the assistance level, press the – button (5). The
requested motor output is displayed in the indicator (i). The maximum motor output depends on the
selected assistance level. When the on-board computer is removed from the holder (4), the assistance
level that was last displayed is saved; the motor output indicator (i) remains empty.
5.4.3 Switching bike lights on/off
The front and rear lights can be switched on and off at the same time via the on-board computer by
pressing the + button (6) for a few seconds. When the lighting is switched on, the illumination indicator
will appear (h) on the display and when the lighting is switched off, the illumination indicator will
disappear (h). The on-board computer saves the light status and activates this saved status accordingly
after a restart. Switching the bike light on and off has no effect on the back lighting of the display. The
front of the box of your Carqon is equipped with LED-light. This is an extra LED-light, which is switched
on automatically when the frontlight is activated.
