Switched on
operating units
are powered
by the bat-
tery of your
Pedelec. Brief-
ly press the
On/Off button
once to switch
on the system.
The pedals should not be under load while
switching on and for approximately 2 seconds
after that.
The system will automatically switch
off to save energy when you do not
use your Pedelec for 10 minutes.
Switch on the operating computer when you
again want to ride with support.
Various information is available on the display
fields of the display. This normally includes:
• The support mode. The selection is usually
made with two buttons. Pressing these buttons
increases or decreases the support level by
one step.
• Battery charge level Here you can see how ‘’full
the tank’’ still is. Motor support is automatically
switched off as soon as the battery falls short of
the minimum charging level. The entire display
is then switched off in most cases.
• Speed
• Total kilometres
• Trip kilometres
The attached manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions describe which functions and display op-
tions the operatign element and the display of the
Pedelec retain.
Functionality
The motor starts to work as soon as you turn on
the support and start to pedal. While you do not
pedal, the motor will not provide any support.
The motor power switches off at a speed of
approx. 25 km/h. This is a legal regulation. If the
Pedelec motor helped to generate a speed hight-
er than 25 km/h, the Pedelec would no longer be
classified as a bicycle that does not require reg-
istration.
The motor of the S-Pedelec has more pow-
er (350 to 500 Watt) and only switches off at a
speed of 45 km/h. You can also ride in e-bike
mode without pedaling support at speeds of up
to 20 km/h. The motor power depends on several
factors:
•
The force with which you pedal:
The support
is lower when you pedal with little force and
stronger when you pedal harder, for example
uphill. However, this also increases the power
consumption and the range decreases. This is
not the case with hub motors. They support you
with fixed motor power that is determined by
the support level.
