11. You can now ride off just as you would if you were
riding a normal bike. The motor starts providing assis-
tance as soon as you begin to pedal.
From the first moment, you have full assistance. This
is unfamiliar but comfortable. Practice starting up in a
safe location before venturing into the road traffic.

As you begin your ride, it is highly probable that
your actual heart rate is below your target heart
rate. You receive very little assistance from the
drive or none at all. You move your Pedelec ei-
ther totally or almost exclusively by means of
your own effort. As a result, your heart rate rises
and you keep moving closer to your target heart
rate. If you have reached your target heart rate
or even exceeded it, the motor provides assis-
tance according to the riding situation. You can
call up the output delivered by your motor in the
information area.

Riding steadily for extended periods allows the
ERGO system to learn how you handle the bike
and adapt better to your own personal handling
style and the behaviour of your heart rate. It may
take some time to do so and the system must
“learn” these behaviours all over again if the
ERGO settings are readjusted.
Observe the following points to avoid major short-
term variations in your heart rate:
›
Pedal evenly with a constant level of effort.
›
If you come to a hill, do not try to maintain the
same speed. But do try to maintain the same
level of physical effort. Of course, your speed
decreases as the incline becomes steeper
›
Do not sprint when riding.
