Starting Operation of the eBike
Requirements
The eBike can only be activated when the following
requirements are met:
– A sufficiently charged eBike battery is inserted (see
operating instructions for the eBike battery).
– The on-board computer is properly inserted in the
holder.
Switching the eBike on/off
The following options are available for switching on
the eBike:
– Once the on-board computer and the eBike battery
are fitted, briefly press the on/off button (4) on the
on-board computer.
– With the on-board computer inserted, push the on/
off button on the eBike battery (bicycle manufac-
turer-specific solutions are possible when there is
no access to the eBike battery on/off button; see
the eBike battery operating instructions).
The drive is activated as soon as you start pedaling
(except if you are using the walk assistance function
or if the riding mode is set to OFF). The drive assis-
tance varies depending on the riding mode set.
As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal opera-
tion, or as soon as you have reached a speed of
20/28 mph, the drive switches off the assistance.
The drive is automatically re-activated as soon you
start pedaling again and the speed is below
20/28 mph.
The following options are available for switching off
the eBike:
– Briefly press the on/off button (4) of the on-board
computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button
(bicycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possi-
ble when there is no access to the eBike battery on/
off button; see the bicycle manufacturer operating
instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer from its holder.
If no drive assistance is requested for about 10 min-
utes (e.g. because the eBike is not moving) and no

button is pressed on the on-board computer or the
operating unit of the eBike, the eBike will switch off
automatically.
Energy supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder (5), a suffi-
ciently charged eBike battery is inserted into the
eBike and the eBike is switched on, then the on-board
computer's internal battery is powered and charged
by the eBike battery.
If the on-board computer is removed from the
holder (5), the power is supplied by the on-board
computer's internal battery. If the charge of the on-
board computer's internal battery is running low, a
warning message appears on the display.
To charge the on-board computer's internal battery,
slide the on-board computer back onto the
holder (5). Note that if you do not charge the eBike
battery straight away, the eBike will automatically
switch off after ten minutes of inactivity. If this hap-
pens, the on-board computer's internal battery will
also stop charging.
You can also charge the on-board computer via the
USB port (6). To do this, open the protective
cap (17). Use a Micro USB cable to connect the USB
port on the on-board computer to a commercially
available USB charger (not included with the product
as standard) or to the USB port of a computer (max.
5 V charging voltage; max. 1000 mA charging cur-
rent).
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder
(5), all values of the functions are saved and are still
displayed.
Following use, the USB port must be carefully re-
sealed with the protective cap (17).
If the on-board computer's internal battery is not
recharged, the date and time will be retained for up to
6 months. When the on-board computer is switched
on again, the date and time will be reset if a
Bluetooth® connection to the app has been estab-
lished and the smartphone has successfully identified
the current location via GPS.
