Interaction of the eBike System with the Bicycle Gears
The bicycle gears should be used as with a normal bicycle,
even with eBike motor assistance (please observe the operat-
ing instructions of your eBike).
Independent of the type of gearing, it is recommended to
briefly interrupt the pedaling while changing gears. This
makes changing gears easier and reduces the wear of the
drive train.
By selecting the right gear, you can increase the speed and
range with the same pedaling effort.
For this reason, follow the shift recommendations provided
by indications g and h on your display. If indication g is dis-
played, you should shift to a higher gear with lower cadence.
If indication h is displayed, you should select a lower gear with
higher cadence.
Switching bike lights on/off
In the model in which the lighting is powered by the eBike sys-
tem, the front and rear lights can be switched on and off at the
same time via the on-board computer with button 2.
When the lighting is switched on "Lights on" appears and when
the lighting is switched off "Lights off" appears for approx. 1 s
in text indication d. The lighting symbol c is displayed when the
light is on.
Switching the bike light on and off has no effect on the back
lighting of the display.
Switching the Push-assistance mode On/Off
The push-assistance feature makes it easier to push the
eBike. The speed in this function depends on the set gear and
cannot exceed 6 km/h (max.). The lower the set gear, the low-
er the speed in the push-assistance function (at full output).
The push-assistance function may only be used when
pushing the eBike. Danger of injury when the wheels of
the eBike do not have ground contact while using the push-
assistance function.
To activate the push-assistance function, briefly press but-
ton "WALK" on your on-board computer. After activation,
press button "+" within 3 s and keep it pressed. The eBike
drive is switched on.
Note: The push assistance cannot be activated in the "OFF"
assistance level.
The push assistance is switched off as soon as one of the fol-
lowing occurs:
– you release button "+" 12,
– the wheels of the eBike are blocked (e.g. by actuating the
brakes or impacting against an obstacle),
– the speed exceeds 6 km/h.
Note: On some systems the push-assistance function can be
started directly by pressing the "WALK" button.
