Switching on/shutting down the on-board computer
To switch on the on-board computer, briefly press the On/Off
button 5. The on-board computer can also be switched on
when it is not inserted in the holder (if the internal battery
pack is sufficiently charged).
To switch off the on-board computer, press the On/Off but-
ton 5.
If the on-board computer is not inserted in the holder, it auto-
matically switches off after 1 minute to save energy if no but-
ton is pressed.
 If you are not going to be using your eBike for several
weeks, remove the on-board computer from its mount.
Store the on-board computer in a dry environment at room
temperature. Regularly recharge the on-board computer's
battery (at least every 3 months).
Battery Charge-control Indicator
The battery charge-control indicator i displays the charge lev-
el of the eBike battery pack, not that of the on-board comput-
er's internal battery pack. The charge level of the eBike bat-
tery pack can also be checked on the LEDs of the battery pack
itself.
On indicator i, each bar of the battery pack symbol is equiva-
lent to a capacity of approx. 20 %:
The eBike battery pack is fully charged.
The eBike battery pack should be recharged.
The LEDs of the charge-control indicator on the
battery pack extinguish. The capacity for assisting
the drive has been used up, and assistance is gen-
tly switched off. The remaining capacity is made
available for the lighting and the on-board comput-
er. The indicator flashes.
The capacity of the eBike battery pack is enough
for about 2 hours of lighting. This does not account
for other consumers (e.g. automatic gearbox,
charging external devices at the USB port).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4, the
last displayed battery charge level is saved.
If an eBike is operated with two battery packs, the battery
charge-control indicator i displays the level of both battery
packs.
If an eBike has two battery packs insert-
OF
ed into it and both battery packs are
MPH
KM/
charged on the bike, the charging pro-
gress of both battery packs will be indi-
cated on the display (the left-hand bat-
tery pack is being charged in the
illustration). You can tell by the flashing
indicator on the battery pack which of
the two battery packs is being charged.

Setting the Assistance Level
On the operating unit 9 you can set how much the eBike drive
assists you while pedalling. The assistance level can be
changed at any time, even while cycling.
Note: For individual versions, it is possible that the assistance
level is pre-set and cannot be changed. It is also possible that
less assistance levels are available for selection than listed
here.
If the manufacturer has configured the eBike with "eMTB
Mode" and an Intuvia on-board computer is being used on the
bicycle, "eMTB Mode" will appear briefly on the display when
the "SPORT" assistance level is selected. In "eMTB Mode",
the assistance factor and torque are dynamically adjusted as
a function of the force you exert on the pedals. "eMTB Mode"
is only available for Performance Line CX drives.
The following assistance levels (max.) are available:
– "OFF": The motor assistance is switched off, and the eBike
can be moved as a normal bicycle only by pedalling. The
push assistance cannot be activated in this assistance
level.
– "ECO": Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
maximum cruising range
– "TOUR": Uniform assistance, for touring with long cruising
range
– "SPORT"/"eMTB":
"SPORT": Powerful assistance for sportive riding off road
as well as for urban traffic
"eMTB": Optimal assistance whatever the terrain, rapid
acceleration when starting from a standstill, improved dy-
namics and top performance.
– "TURBO": Maximum assistance, supporting highest ca-
dence for sportive riding
To increase the assistance level, press the "+" 12 button on
the operating unit until the desired assistance level appears in
the display b. To decrease the assistance level, press the but-
ton "–" 11.
The requested motor output is displayed in indicator a. The
maximum motor output depends on the selected assistance
level.
When the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4,
the last indicated assistance level is stored; the motor-output
indicator a remains empty.
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.
