Significant differences between your e-bike and a bicycle
without an e-drive:
• A higher weight and/or different weight distribution
affect the driving behaviour.
• Different braking behaviour.
• Greater/earlier wear on brake components due to
higher braking forces.
• You are likely to ride at higher (average) speeds and
possibly more challenging courses.
f Be sure to familiarise yourself with your e-bike before
using it for the first time.
f Do not underestimate the basic differences between
your e-bike and a bike without an e-drive!
Especially if there is no previous experience in using
electric-motor-assisted vehicles.
4.3.2 Information on use
When the e-drive is switched on, the electric auxiliary motor
assists you in propelling your e-bike. When the country-
dependent cut-off speed* is reached, the electric pedal
assist switches off so that you pedal at higher speeds wit-
hout aid from the motor. When the speed drops below the
cut-off speed, the electric pedal assist starts again. The
speed is determined with the help of a speed sensor on the
rear wheel.
How strong the pedal assist from the motor is depends on
* the shut-off speed of 25 km/h (for Germany).
how hard you pedal yourself. If you do not pedal, there is also
no assistance from the e-drive. The only exception to this is
the "Push Assist" function: When push assist is activated,
the motor supports you when pushing your e-bike up to a
speed of 6 km/h. The push assist must explicitly not be used
while you are sitting on your e-bike, but only when pushing.
Your e-bike must be held securely with both hands and all
wheels must be in contact with the ground.
The operating steps for use are described in detail in the
separate manufacturer's instructions for the e-drive.
In it, you will find, among other things, detailed information
on the following:
• how to operate the e-drive (e.g. how to switch the
e-drive on and off, how to adjust/change the pedal
assistance level, etc.),
• how to handle the battery (e.g. how to insert/remove the
battery from the e-bike, how to charge the battery,
charging times, protective devices, etc.)
• the indications on the display and/or control element(s),
• the warning and indicator lights (e.g. on battery, display).
