3.5.7.1 Motor
As soon as the muscle power required for
pedalling passes a certain level, the motor is
activated gently and assists the pedalling motion.
The motor power always depends on the power
used to pedal: Motor assistance is lower when
little muscle power is used than when a great deal
of muscle power is used. This happens regardless
of the level of assistance.
The motor switches off automatically as soon as
the rider no longer pedals, the temperature is
outside the permitted range, there is an overload
or the shut-off speed of 25 km/h has been
reached.
A push assist system can be activated. The speed
depends on the selected gear. The motor
continues to drive the pedelec at walking speed as
long as the rider presses the push assist button on
the handlebars. The speed can be a maximum of
6 km/h in this case. The electric drive system
stops when the push assist button is released.

The pedelec does not have a separate emergency
shut-off button. In the event of an emergency, the
motor can be stopped by removing the on-board
computer. The mechanical brakes are used as an
emergency stop system and bring the bicycle to a
halt quickly and safely in the event of an
emergency.
3.5.7.2 Charger
Each pedelec is supplied with a charger. Follow
the charger operating instructions.
3.5.7.3 Lighting
Lighting always includes
•
The front lamp (also known as headlight or front
light)
•
The rear light (also known as the rear lamp)
The headlight and the rear light are also on
whenever the riding light is activated.
3.5.7.4 Rechargeable battery
FIT batteries are lithium ion batteries which are
developed and manufactured to the latest
technical standards. Each battery cell is protected
by a steel cup and encased in a plastic battery
housing. Applicable safety regulations are met.
•
The battery has an interior electronic protection
circuit, which is specifically designed for the
charger and the pedelec.
•
The battery temperature is monitored at all times.
•
The battery is protected against deep discharge,
overcharging, overheating and short circuit.
The battery has a high energy content when
charged. The code of practice for their safe
handling is found in Section 2 Safety and
Section 6.9 Rechargeable battery in the operating
instructions.
