If you stop pedalling, it may happen that the auxiliary drive continues to
assist for a brief period of time. Therefore, stop pedalling sooner when
approaching a curve before you turn or at a red light than you would with
a bike without an auxiliary drive. Before stopping, shift into a gear early,
which will enable you to start up again smoothly.
The achievable range with the assistance of the auxiliary drive depends
on the following:

total weight of the bike including rider and luggage

selected speed level

tyre pressure

battery charge level

route profile

weather

tailwind/headwind

amount of own power used.
To achieve the greatest possible range, proceed as follows:

Make sure that the battery is fully charged.

Make sure that the tyre pressure is set correctly.

When riding on flat or sloped stretches,
don’t use the auxiliary drive,
or select only slight assistance.

Select the gear that is best suited to the riding situation.

Ride proactively to avoid unnecessary stopping and the subsequent
starting process.
Riding without the auxiliary drive
You can also use your bike without the auxiliary drive. To do this, you
only have to switch off the auxiliary drive. Then, you can use your bike
like a bike without an auxiliary drive, for example if the battery has been
run empty.
