RIDING A CUBE EPO PEDELEC SPECIAL FEATURES
Your CUBE EPO pedelec is designed to be used like a conventional bi-
cycle. The unique riding experience, however, starts when you actu-
ate the drive system. At that moment the assistance generated by the
250 W motor in the rear wheel hub increases the stronger you pedal.
Riding with Drive Assistance
The system is switched on and o at the control element
(e)
. Further-
more, dierent assistance modes
(f)
can be selected, the remaining
capacity of the rechargeable battery is displayed and dierent func-
tions of the cycle computer can be selected.
When switched on the system activates during pedalling and the
motor assistance is available. The torque sensor measures your force
and controls the fully automated motor assistance according to the
selected assistance mode. The necessary pedalling force reduces by
about 30 to 60 % according to the assistance mode. The assistance
switches o when you reach a speed of more than 25 kph/15 mph.
After stopping the drive system switches o automatically after 5
minutes. Reactivate the system by pressing the power button (O-
button at the control element)

Range
How long and how far you can benet from the auxiliary drive de-
pends on several factors, i.e. the road conditions, the weight of rider
and additional load, the rider’s pedal force, the degree or mode of
assistance, (head)winds, frequent stops, the temperature, weather
conditions etc.
The charge state h of your rechargeable battery can be read from
your display
(h)
. It is displayed in ten bars that correspond to a charg-
ing capacity of 100 %, i.e. one bar means 10 % battery capacity.
To extend the range it is recommended that you ride with low or
no assistance at all on level or downhill trails and only select maxi-
mum drive assistance with headwinds, heavy additional loads and/
or when climbing hills.
