If the battery charge state falls below a minimum level,
the assistance switches o via the motor.
If you do not move your Pedelec for 10 minutes, the sys-
tem switches o automatically. If you subsequently want
to ride using the assistance, you will have to switch it
back on using the power button.
5.1.6 Remaining range indicator
Below and to the right of the battery charge state indica-
tor, the distance in km over which you can still travel with
power assist is displayed. This is the remaining range
indicator.
This “remaining distance” is calculated using two
measurements taken during the current journey. One
short and one long measurement give a representa-
tive average value. If the conditions of the journey
change, for example, by riding up an incline aer a
long, at stretch, the value displayed can also change
at short notice. Please consider this factor when plan-
ning your trips. You are probably familiar with this
eect om the remaining range indicator of your car.
