Power Assist Devices
Operation
The cruise control can be used in conjunction with
the assist levels (1-5) to maintain their respective
maximum speed on every incline. To do this, select,
for example, level 1 and accelerate until the speed
limit of the level is reached. If the cruise control is
now activated, the power assist device maintains
its speed, even on inclines.
WARNING
Only.use.the.cruise.control.if.the.traffic.situation.
allows it. Be ready at any time to deactivate the
cruise control with the brake with the breaker
contact.

11.2.3 Recovery brake
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Since the recuperation feeds energy back into
the system, some usage instructions must be
observed. If you ignore this, you run the risk of
reduced battery life and a defect in the battery.
Your product is equipped with a recuperation brake,
which feeds energy back into the battery during the
braking process. Recuperation is initiated by pulling
the right brake lever. Two disc brakes are available
in parallel to recuperation (
Fig. 42:
Brake lever with brake contact and initiation of
recuperation (interrupter contact is only connected to the right
brake lever.)
The brake lever on the left side of the handlebar
has no break contact. You can use the left brake
lever to start off on a hill (
).
The recuperation brake may only be used with a
completely intact battery. If your battery shows a
defect, such as greatly reduced capacity, greatly
changed voltage or external deformation, we
advise against further use of the battery.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
If the battery is fully charged, it cannot absorb
any regenerated energy. This means that the
function of the recuperation brake is not available
or only to a very limited extent when the battery
is fully charged. The controller may prevent
recuperation. It can happen that the recuperation
brake is suddenly switched off by the controller
while driving (e.g. during braking) because the
battery has reached its state of charge limit. This
means that you have to provide all of the braking
power via the disc brakes and therefore pull the
brake levers more strongly. For safety reasons,
we recommend that you always carry out a longer
and steeper descent with the system switched on
and the recuperation brake activated.
If you charge the device before a long and steep
downhill descent, the charging process should not
be fully completed so that the recuperation brake
works during the descent.
11.2.4 Starting uphill
If you have stopped on an incline and want to start
again, you may roll backwards and not be able to
start. In order to be able to start despite the slope,
lean forward to put more weight on the front wheel.
Press and hold the left brake lever. At the same
time, carefully apply the accelerator. Reduce the
pressure on the brake while slowly increasing the
throttle. As soon as you feel that you are moving
in the direction of travel, you can release the brake
completely.
11.2.5 Battery change
Only obtain batteries for your power assist device
from.a.Stricker.dealer.certified.by.us.or.directly.
from the factory. Our batteries could look similar
to.other.e-bike.batteries.and.may.also.fit.on.the.
bracket. Nevertheless, batteries may differ in
technical features that are not compatible with our
system. Please note that your guarantee will be
void if an incompatible battery causes a defect.
