The Pendix motor is an efficient, high-power direct drive
system, working without gears or freewheeling. Its control is
already integrated in its smart design. The Pendix motor is
located on the left side of the bicycle directly on the supplied
electronic bottom bracket, which identifies the force exerted
through pedaling. The motor then supports you correspon-
ding to the setting/mode you have selected.
Please note: after extended tours with your bicyc-
le at a high support level, the temperature on the
rear side of the motor can become hot.
Should you want to conduct any work in region
of the motor, either let it cool down first or make
sure you wear suitable protective gloves.

Safety notes
The battery is the power pack and central control unit of the
Pendix. It supplies the necessary energy for the drive system
of the bicycle. At the same time, the ON/OFF button, the ro-
tating switch for the support steps (settings/modes) as well
as the LED display for the charging level are also integrated
in this single unit.
On delivery, the battery is partly charged. In order to obtain
the energy for the entire distance of a journey with your Pe-
delec, you must charge the battery to its maximum level. You
can operate the battery between temperatures of -10° C and
+50° C (14° F – 122° F). You cannot exploit the full capacity of
the battery at low temperatures.
Safety notes
• Do not drop or throw the battery! Avoid any
kind of impact! In such cases, liquid may esca-
pe, causing fire or explosion.
• Do not use force when working with the bat-
tery! If the battery is deformed in any way,
the integrated protective mechanism can be
damaged. Here again, fire or explosion may
result.
• Do not USE the battery if it is damaged. The li-
quid inside it may escape, causing damage to
the eyes and even blindness!
Remove the battery from the Pedelec if you wish
to transport it, for example by car.
• Also remove the battery whenever you want to
carry out any kind of work on the Pedelec, for
example maintenance or assembly. Caution:
there is a hazard of injury if you activate the
ON/OFF button inadvertently.
• Never open the battery. This can cause a short
circuit. Note: all and any guarantee claims be-
come invalid if the battery is opened.
• Never store or tranport (carry) the battery to-
gether with metal objects capable of causing a
short circuit: such objects can be, for example,
paper clips, nails, screws, keys or coins. A short
circuit can cause a fire or burns.
• Keep the battery away from heat, for example
1. intense sunshine, which can lead to the
battery being switched off (self protection
over 60 °C) and
2. fire, there is a danger of explosion.
• Protect your battery against water and other
liquids. Contact may cause damage to the pro-
tective circuit and the protective mechanism of
the battery. This can result in fire or explosion.
• Do not use high-pressure equipment to clean
your battery. To clean, use a damp cloth. Do
not use aggressive cleaning agents.
• Incorrect handling of the battery may cause
liquid to escape. This liquid can cause irritati-
on and burns on the skin. If you do come into
contact with the battery liquid,
• wash the affected area with plenty of water.
If it comes into contact with your eyes, find a
doctor or medical expert immediately for help.
• If you have handled the battery incorrectly eit-
her on purpose or by accident, so that gases/
vapors escape from it, get access to fresh air
and find a doctor or medical expert immedia-
tely if you have been affected.
• Before undertaking a journey, the battery must
be fully attached in its holder. Otherwise, there
is a danger that it may fall out while you are
