Operation
The optional cruise control can be used in
conjunction with the assist levels (1-5) to maintain
their respective maximum speed on any incline. To
do this, select level 1, for example, and accelerate
until the speed limit of the level is reached. If cruise
control is now activated, the handbike will maintain
the speed, even on inclines.
WARNING
Use cruise control only when the traffic situation
permits. Be ready to deactivate cruise control at
any time with the brake with breaker contact.
CRUISE CONTROL ON SLOPES
The cruise control only maintains the speed when
driving on the flat or on inclines. The system does
NOT brake on a downhill slope.
6.2.3 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
braking. Recuperation is initiated by pulling the
right brake lever. Parallel to the recuperation, 2 disc
brakes are available to you (
Fig. 19: 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 breaker contact. You can use the left brake
lever for starting uphill („
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.
NOTE ON USE
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.
6.2.4 Starting uphill
If you have stopped on an incline and want to start
again, you may roll backwards and not be able to
start. 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. Now gently
apply the throttle at the same time. Reduce the
pressure on the brake brake as you slowly apply
more throttle. As soon as you feel that you are
moving in the direction of travel, you can release
the brake completely.
6.2.5 Battery change
Only purchase batteries for your handbike from one
of our certified Stricker dealers or directly from the
factory. Our batteries might look similar to other
e-bike batteries and might also fit on the bracket.
Nevertheless, batteries might differ in technical
features that are not compatible with our system.
Please note that your warranty claim will be void if
an incompatible battery causes a defect.
