unnecessary, and you can use the tuning if you have an additional lighting system powered by the battery. The tuning makes the final speed void, that means the terminal velocity is only limited by the power of the drive and the muscular strength invested.
Compatibility list Please note that the following list may not be up to date. At the time of printing this manual, the bikespeed-RS is compatible with the following motors and displays. If updates are made to your pedelec, it is also possible that compatibility may no longer be given.

Safety instructions, product liability and exclusion of liability By using the bikespeed-RS on your pedelec, a relevant safety feature (the speed-dependent limitation of the motor power) is overridden. You must assume that your pedelec is not suitable for this and e.g., frame, brakes, chassis, tires, etc.

A modified bicycle may only be used by an authorized, trained and instructed person. We assume the following level of training: Function User Operator Only persons trained and instructed about the special dangers Maintenance personnel Only the manufacturer of the pedelec or an / technicians authorized specialist workshop by persons with the appropriate expertise...

Bikespeed or the manufacturer of your pedelec cannot guarantee that brakes, frame, chassis, tires, etc. are designed for the use of the tuning part. Before use, the more highly stressed components of the pedelec (e.g., frame, brakes, tires, bearings, and suspension, etc.) must be tuned by the manufacturer or tested and approved by a suitable testing Centre (e.g.,...
Description of functions The bikespeed-RS removes the limit at 25 km/h of your pedelec. All other features and functions of your bike remain as usual. This also includes the protective measures installed by the manufacturer (e.g., short circuit, overcurrent, power, torque, temperature, etc.), except for the safety device for limiting the maximum speed.

Begin on the highest level. In case of success the entire battery index will blink 3x and meanwhile the software version of the bikespeed-RS will be shown on the speed indicator. Now the tuning is in service mode and maintenance as well as software updating can be executed.
Page 12
Please activate the service-mode only for updates on your pedelec! A switched off bikespeed-RS cannot be switched on again with the combination for service-mode! After activating the service mode, we recommend switching off the bike without moving it again.

During installation, ensure that the ergonomic principle and functionality of the pedelec are not changed or impaired. The protection class of the bikespeed-RS is IP64. The bikespeed-RS does not require a separate power source. It is supplied with energy from the battery of the pedelec in which the tuning is installed.

If you still have questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. To access the connectors for connecting the bikespeed RS, a cover on the motor must be removed and a cable pulled through the frame. Please follow the instructions on the following pages.
Page 18
Please turn off the bike and remove the battery from the frame. Then remove the shown cover on the motor by loosening the 3 screws. Underneath you will find various connectors to the motor. It is best to disconnect all connectors on the motor to give yourself some space for the next steps.
Page 19
Unfasten the lower battery holder by removing the 4 screws shown. Please note that the holder is connected with cables. Avoid Pulling on These. Thread a pull wire through underneath the motor. Start doing this behind the holder for the battery that you just removed. The target of the pull wire is the opening of the cover removed in step 1.
Page 20
Tie the supplied approx. 1m long cable to the pull wire. It is recommended to pull a loop of this cable under the motor first. (see next step). The black 4-pin connector must go into the battery bay, the end with the two 3-pin connectors remains out of the opening of step 1.
Page 21
When you have pulled the loop of the cable below the motor, then carefully pull the end with the 4-pin connector. The 4- pin connector must then be in the battery compartment, and the two 3-pin connectors through the opening from step 1. Please pull carefully so as not to tear off any connector.
Page 22
Now connect the 3-pin connector of the retracted cable to the connector of the speed sensor. Plug the other 3-pin connector of the retracted cable into the connection on the motor to which the speed sensor was previously connected. The connectors are coded. Please do not use force to plug a connector.
Page 23
Pull the approx. 1m long cable into the battery compartment. The 4-pin connector must reach up to the top of the upper battery holder. Then plug all the other connectors removed in step 2 back into the motor. Use the slots from which you previously removed the plugs.
Page 24
Now remove the upper battery holder by first removing the 4 screws shown and then removing the holder. Now guide the cable threaded in steps 4 to 8 upward through the battery bay. Make sure that the cable does not get in the way when inserting the battery.
Page 25
You can now connect the 4-pin connector of the pulled-in cable to the corresponding counterpart on the bikespeed-RS. Here, too, the connectors are coded and can only be plugged together the right way round. Next, remove the cable grommet through which the cable to the display is routed into the frame.
Page 26
Then, inside the frame, connect the two black, round connectors of the bikespeed-RS to the connectors of the display that have just been disconnected. The best way to do this is to first connect the cable that has been...
Page 27
The connections are now complete. Stow the bikespeed-RS in the upper area of the frame and screw the upper battery holder removed in step 9 back into place. page 27...

Hint for disposal Electric and electronic devices that have become waste are called old devices. Owners of such old devices have to bring these to recycling facilities, where these are handled and recorded separately from urban solid waste. Old devices must not end up in the household refuse. In fact, they have to be collected in special collecting and recycling systems.
