The anti-lock braking system indicator lamp
The anti-lock braking system indicator lamp must come on
after starting the system and must go out again once you
start riding at a speed of approximately 5 km/h. If the ABS
indicator lamp does not come on after starting your eBike
system, this means that the ABS is defective. A fault code to
this effect will also be shown on the display to notify the
rider.
Please make sure you have all repairs carried out by a
u
professional.
If the indicator lamp does not go out once you have started
riding or comes on while riding, this means that there is a
fault with the anti-lock braking system. This means the anti-
lock braking system is no longer active. The brake system
will continue working, simply without the control provided
by the anti-lock braking system.
The functionality of the rear-wheel brake is not affected by
whether or not the anti-lock braking system is working.
WARNING – ABS indicator lamp lit.
u
If the ABS indicator lamp is lit, this means that the ABS
function is disabled.
Note: The anti-lock braking system indicator lamp may come
on in extreme riding situations where the front wheel and the
rear wheel are turning at very different speeds, for example
when riding solely on the rear wheel or if the wheel is turning
for an unusually long period without making contact with the
ground (assembly stands). This will switch the anti-lock
braking system off. To re-enable the anti-lock braking sys-
tem, you will need to stop the eBike and restart it (switch it
off and on again).
CAUTION – Faults with the ABS cannot be signalled if
u
the ABS indicator lamp is defective.
When starting the eBike system, the rider must therefore
check to ensure that the ABS indicator lamp is present
and lit; otherwise the indicator lamp is defective.
Riding with the eBike battery drained
If the battery's state of charge falls below a defined
threshold, the system will disable motor assistance first. The
system (including display, light and ABS) will nevertheless
remain enabled until the battery's reserve has been used up
too. The eBike system – and therefore the ABS – will not
switch off until the battery is almost completely drained.
The indicator lamp will come on again for approximately five
seconds before the system switches off completely.
From this point onwards, the ABS indicator lamp will remain
off despite ABS control being unavailable. If the eBike is not
fitted with a battery or its battery is drained, ABS is disabled.
The brake system will continue working, simply without the
control provided by the anti-lock braking system.
You will need to charge the battery before you can re-enable
your eBike system and the ABS function.
WARNING – ABS will be disabled without a power sup-
u
ply!
If the power fails, the battery is drained or the battery is
not fitted, the ABS will be disabled and the ABS indicator
lamp will not come on.
