Aft er positioning the battery in the holder, the LED display
lights up for a short moment before going out again. This
shows that the battery is connected with the motor. But this
does not mean that the motor is switched on.
5. Operation
5.1 Battery installation/removal on the bike
To position the battery in the holder, the point on the battery
is placed over the corresponding empty point on the holder.
Now push the battery down into the base of the holder and
turn in the direction of the whole point until a connecting
noise is heard, and both whole points are positioned one
over the other. To remove the battery, please proceed in the
opposite sequence.
5.2 ON/OFF switch of the motor
Hold the battery tightly when removing it. It is
heavy!
The motor is activated by pushing the ON/OFF button on
the battery. The LED display shows a continuous light in the
color of the actual charging level. Push again to switch the
motor OFF and the LED display also goes off .
Riding without the motor is possible, both with or without
the battery installed. If the battery is used, but there is no
LED display, this means that the motor is deactivated and
no support is provided.
Riding with the motor is only possible if the LED display
is on permanently. This means that the motor is activated
so that it can support you the moment you start pedaling.
Only switch the system ON or OFF when the bicy-
cle is not in motion. This is to ensure that you
keep both hands on the handlebar while riding.
5.3 Setting the support steps
With your Pendix, you have three possible support steps
available: ECO, SMART and SPORT. You can set your sys-
tem to any of these using the rotating switch directly on the
battery. The straight mark on the ON/OFF button shows the
selected mode.
Do not change the support setting while riding.
Doing so is a safety hazard. Always keep both
hands on the handlebar while riding.
