eBike. Observe the operating instructions for the op-

Notes on cycling with your eBike
Note: The eBike system always starts in OFF mode
for drive units with a maximum speed of more than
20 mph.
When does the drive take effect?
The drive assists your cycling only when you are ped-
aling. If you do not pedal, the assistance will not work.
The drive output always depends on the pedaling
force and cadence that you apply.
With a lower force applied or a less frequent cadence,
the assistance provided will be lower than that sup-
plied at a higher force or a more frequent cadence.
This applies irrespective of the riding mode.
The drive automatically switches off at speeds over
20/28 mph. When the speed falls below 20/28 mph,
the drive automatically becomes available again.
An exception applies to the push assistance function,
in which the eBike can be pushed at low speed with-
out pedaling. The pedals may rotate when the push
assistance is in use.
You can also use the eBike as a normal bicycle with-
out assistance at any time, either by switching off the
eBike or by setting the riding mode to OFF. The same
applies when the eBike battery is drained.
Interaction of the drive unit with the gear-shifting
You should shift through gears on an eBike in the
same manner as when using a normal bicycle (ob-
serve the operating instructions of your eBike with re-
gard to this point).
Irrespective of the type of gear shifting, it is advisable
that you briefly reduce the pressure on the pedals
when changing gear. This will aid gear shifting and re-
duce wear on the powertrain.

Operation
By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your
speed and range while applying the same amount of
force.
Gaining initial experience
We recommend that you gain initial experience with
the eBike away from busy roads.
Test the various riding modes. Start in a riding mode
with a small amount of assistance. As soon as you feel
confident, you can ride your eBike in traffic like any
other bicycle.
Test the range of your eBike in different conditions
before planning longer and more demanding trips.
Influences on range
It is not possible to calculate the range accurately be-
fore and during a trip because the range is affected by
a number of factors.
Enter the factors in the Range Assistant in order to
better assess the effects on the range.
Scan the code provided to open the
Range Assistant.
