Notes on the e-bike
6.4 Functionality
The drive only provides you with riding assistance when you pedal�
The intensity of assistance is automatically adjusted depending on
the selected riding mode, the pressure applied when pedalling, the
load and the speed� The drive assists you up to a speed of 25 km/h
or 45 km/h�
6.5 range
The drive is an assistive motor� The range is affected by your ped-
alling intensity�
• Set the assistance as low as possible�
The lower the pedalling frequency of the pedal drive the higher the
energy requirement for the drive.
• Use the gear shift as you would without assistance.
• For inclines, head wind or a heavy load, use the lower gears
of the gear shift�
The drive requires a large amount of energy when starting.
• Always start in a low gear and apply as much pressure to the
pedal as possible�
• Before travelling uphill, switch to a lower gear in time�
• Ride with foresight to avoid any unnecessary stops� The ener-
gy consumption will increase with high loads�
• Do not transport any unnecessary loads�
Lack of care and maintenance may reduce the range�
• Handle the e-bike with care and observe all notes regarding
the rechargeable battery in this user manual�
• Check the tyre pressure regularly�
• Comply with the maintenance intervals�
Temperatures below +10 °C may negatively affect the perfor-
mance of the rechargeable battery during operation. When you
are not using your e-bike:
• At low outdoor temperatures, take the rechargeable battery
out of the holder and store it (see chapter "Notes / Recharge-
able battery / Storing the rechargeable battery")�
• Only put it back in the holder directly before cycling�
6.6 Cycling with an empty rechargeable
battery
If the rechargeable battery is completely used up during the ride,
you can use your e-bike as you would a normal bike (see chapter
"Operation / Rechargeable battery / Charging indicator")�
note: If the battery charge has been used up, the drive will switch
off� The lighting will be supplied with energy for another 2 hours�
