DANGER! 

Get in touch with us if you have 

questions, problems or notice a fault. 

Lack of expertise can cause serious 

accidents.

The motor is a pedal assist motor, also called a 

pedelec or EPAC, which starts to assist through 

pedal induction. This means that when you start to 

pedal, the motor starts to assist, and when you stop 

pedalling the motor stops to assist. 

The motor has 4 power assist settings:

•  Off: Zero assist

•  Eco: 40% of maximum power assist

•  Tour: 70% of maximum power assist

•  Sport: 100% of maximum power assist

The battery that powers the motor is a bottle shaped 

33V, 7Ah Li-ion battery with Panasonic NCR Series 

18650 cells and BMS battery management system. 

At present it’s the highest energy density battery on 

the market. The battery range is 30-40 km but varies 

depending on factors such as riding conditions, riding 

style, cargo load an rider weight.

The battery is placed on the seat post fixed to a 

battery mount with a magnet and a Velcro Strap. 

Make sure to always make the battery and battery 

mount snap and tightly wrap the Velcro Strap around 

the battery and close it before riding you e-bike.

DANGER! 

Remove the battery before transporting 

your e-bike or carrying out any assembly, 

maintenance or other work on it. The 

unintentional activation of the electric 

system can cause injuries.

The motor is controlled from a Bluetooth connected 

smartphone app, where you set the desired motor 

assist level, motor parameters, view the running status 

and the battery status.

DANGER! 

If you notice damages to the electric 

system, immediately remove the battery 

from the e-bike 

DANGER! 

Never send off the battery yourself. A 

battery is classed as hazardous material 

and can overheat and catch fire under 

certain conditions. A faulty battery must 

neither be charged nor used.

For more information about the electrical system 

please consult the Electrical System Manual that was 

provided with your e-bike. The manual can also be 

found at our website www.hermansencph.com in the 

download section.

For any enquiries about the electrical system please 

get in touch by email [email protected] or 

by phone +45 26362637.  

19. Battery range and precautions

General factors affecting battery range

•  Average riding speed - the faster you go the more 

energy is required and the quicker the battery will 

be discharged. However, if you ride faster than the 

maximum assist speed, the motor assist will shut 

off and the motor will not drain the battery. 

•  Power assistance level used - the best way 

to conserve battery power is pedalling effort. 

Using less assistance and exerting more effort 

into pedalling will decrease battery power 

consumption and result in a longer range. 

•  General maintenance - keep your tyres correctly 

inflated at all times and maintain and lubricate 

moving parts. 

•  Stop-and-go traffic - starting from a standstill will 

always require more energy. To extend your range, 

start in Eco mode. 

•  Rider’s weight and cadence - the motor will use up 

more energy for heavier riders. Keeping a cadence 

of at least 60 rpm will be more efficient. 

•  Some riding conditions such as uneven road 

surfaces, headwinds and going uphill requires 

more power to assist you up to a certain speed 

and thus reduces the battery range.

Ranges in cold weather

•  Electric e-bike components are designed to work 

faultlessly down to -10° C. Cold temperatures 

reduce the battery range. This is a normal physical 

process and not a fault or defect. 

•  When using the battery in warmer temperatures, 

you can make full use of its energy capacity again. 

•  On colder days we recommend that you store 

the battery at room temperature overnight. It is 

advisable to plan shorter trips or ride with a lower 

motor assist level during winter.
