Operation
Initial Operation
Requirements
The eBike system can only be activated when the following
requirements are met:
– A sufficiently charged battery pack is inserted (see bat-
tery pack operating instructions).
– The on-board computer is properly inserted in the hold-
er (see on-board computer operating instructions).
– The speed sensor is connected properly (see “Checking
the Speed Sensor”, page English–4).
Switching the eBike System On/Off
Options for switching on the eBike system:
– If the on-board computer is already switched on when
inserted into the holder, then the eBike system will be
switched on automatically.
– When the on-board computer and the eBike battery
pack are inserted, briefly press the On/Off button of the
on-board computer once.
– When the on-board computer is inserted, press the
On/Off button on the battery pack.
Once it is switched on, the eBike system is in the “OFF”
mode. Select the desired assistance level and take off.
The drive is activated as soon as you put pressure on the
pedals. The assistance level depends upon the on-board
computer settings.
As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal operation, or
as soon as you have reached a speed of 20 mph, the assis-
tance from the eBike drive unit is switched off. The motor
assistance is automatically re-activated as soon you start
pedaling again and the speed is below 20 mph.
Options for switching off the eBike system:
– Press the On/Off button of the on-board computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its On/Off button
(bicycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possible
whereby there is no access to the battery On/Off button;
see the bicycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer out of its holder.
If the eBike is not moved and no button is pressed on the
on-board computer for 10 minutes, the eBike system will
shut down automatically in order to save energy.
eShift (optional)
eShift is the integration of electronic gear shifting systems
into the eBike system. The eShift components are electri-
cally connected to the drive unit by the manufacturer. The
separate operating instructions describe how to operate
the electronic gear-shifting systems.
Setting the Assistance Level
With the on-board computer you can set how much the
eBike drive assists you while pedaling. The assistance level
can be changed at any time while the system is on, even
while cycling.
Note: For individual versions, it is possible that the assis-
tance level is preset and cannot be changed. It is also pos-
sible that fewer assistance levels are available for selection
than listed here.
When the eBike is configured in “eMTB Mode” by the man-
ufacturer, the assistance factor and torque are dynamically
adjusted as a function of the force you exert on the pedals.
“eMTB Mode” is only available for Performance Line CX
drives.
The following assistance levels (max.) are available:
– “OFF”: The motor assistance is switched off and the
eBike can be moved by pedaling. The walk assistance
cannot be activated in this assistance level.
– “ECO”: Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
maximum cruising range
– “TOUR”: Uniform assistance, for touring with long cruis-
ing range
– “SPORT”/“eMTB”
“SPORT”: Powerful assistance for sporty off-road rid-
ing, as well as for urban traffic
“eMTB”: Optimal assistance whatever the terrain, rapid
acceleration when starting from a standstill, improved
dynamics and top performance.
– “TURBO”: Maximum assistance, supporting the highest
speed for sporty riding

The motor output requested appears on the display of the
on-board computer (not on Purion). The maximum motor
output depends on the selected assistance level.
Once it is switched on, the eBike system is in the “OFF”
mode.
Switching the Walk Assistance On/Off
The walk assistance can make it easier for you to push the
eBike. The speed of this function depends on the selected
gear and can reach a maximum of 3.7 mph. The lower the
selected gear, the lower the speed of the walk assistance
function (at full capacity).
Using the walk assistance function is only recom-
mended when pushing the eBike. There is risk of injury
if the wheels of the eBike are not in contact with the
ground while using the walk assistance.
To activate the walk assistance function, briefly press but-
ton “WALK” on your on-board computer. After activation,
press button “+” within 3 s and keep it pressed. The eBike
drive is switched on.
Note: The walk assistance cannot be activated in the “OFF”
assistance level.
The walk assistance is switched off as soon as one of the
following occurs:
– you release the button “+”,
– the wheels of the eBike are stopped (e.g. by actuating
the brakes or impacting against an obstacle),
– the speed exceeds 3.7 mph.
Note: On some systems the walk assistance function can
be started directly by pressing the “WALK” button.
Switching bike lights On/Off
On the version which has bike lights powered by the eBike
system, the front and rear lights can be switched on and off
at the same time via the on-board computer.
