3 General information
3.1 Applicable provisions
The bikes described in this instruction manual are assisted by an electric motor.
They correspond to the requirements of DIN EN 15194
Electrically power assisted
cycles
. A declaration has been made that the bike conforms to the other applica-
ble provisions; an EU Declaration of Conformity is attached to this instruction ma-
nual as an Appendix.
3.2 Design, general functions
The bikes described in this instruction manual are fitted with an integrated elec-
tric drive system. This is comprised of the motor, the drive system's control panel,
the display, the rechargeable drive battery and the external charger which is com-
patible with this drive battery.
The drive system works automatically. As soon as the required muscular energy of
the rider exceeds a certain level the motor gently switches on and assists the
pedal movement of the rider. The motor gently switches off as soon as pedal mo-
vement is interrupted or a speed of 25 km/h is reached.
A pushing aid can be activated. In this operating mode the bike will be pushed at
walking speed as long as a button on the handlebar is pressed. Releasing the
button will immediate stop this mode.
