Start-up
Requirements
The eBike system can only be activated when the fol-
lowing requirements are met:
– A sufficiently charged battery is inserted (see bat-
tery operating instructions).
– The on-board computer is properly inserted in the
holder (see on-board computer operating instruc-
tions).
– The speed sensor is correctly connected .
Switching the eBike system on/off
The following options are available for switching on
the eBike system:
– If the on-board computer is already switched on
when you insert it into the holder, the eBike system
will be automatically activated.
– When the on-board computer and the eBike battery
are inserted, briefly press the on/off button of the
on-board computer.
– With the on-board computer inserted, press the
on/off button on the eBike battery (some bicycle
manufacturer-specific solutions prevent access to
the battery on/off button; see the battery operating
instructions).
The drive is activated as soon as you start pedaling
(except for in the push assistance function, Switching
the push assistance on/off). The motor output de-
pends on which assistance level is set on the on-
board computer.
As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal opera-
tion, or as soon as you have reached a speed of
20 mph, the eBike drive unit switches off the assis-
tance. The drive is automatically re-activated as soon
you start pedaling again and the speed is below
20 mph.
The following options are available for switching off

Operation
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button
(some bicycle manufacturer-specific solutions pre-
vent access to the battery on/off button; see the bi-
cycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer from its holder.
If the eBike is not moved for approx. ten minutes and
no button is pressed on the on-board computer, the
eBike system switches off automatically in order to
save energy.
eShift (optional)
eShift is the integration of electronic gear-shifting
systems into the eBike system. The eShift compo-
nents are electrically connected to the drive unit by
the manufacturer. The separate operating instruc-
tions describe how to operate the electronic gear-
shifting systems.
Setting the assistance level
You can set the level at which the eBike drive assists
you while pedaling on the on-board computer. The as-
sistance level can be changed at any time, even while
cycling.
Note: In some models, the assistance level may be
preset and cannot be changed. There may also be
fewer assistance levels available than stated here.
The following assistance levels are available as a max-
imum:
– OFF: Motor assistance is switched off. The eBike
can just be moved by pedaling, as with a normal bi-
cycle. The push assistance cannot be activated at
this assistance level.
– ECO: Effective assistance with maximum effi-
ciency, for maximum range
– TOUR: Steady assistance, long range for touring
