8.1.1 Energy recovery (recuperation)
Derives om the Latin word for “regain, recover”. In
technology, “recovery” relates to the feeding of electric-
ity back into the battery. So once you have set the energy
recovery (or even braking assistance ➠
Chapter 8.1.2
“Braking assistance”), you can recharge the battery whilst
riding.
If electricity is being fed back into the battery, you will
see this symbol on the display:
Energy recovery
The energy recovery can be set using the arrow buttons.
The higher the energy recovery setting, the stronger the
deceleration.
The energy recovery only works under certain condi-
tions:
› The temperature range of the battery must be
between 0°C and 45°C. If the temperature drops
below 0°C, the energy recovery is automatically
deactivated.
› The speed must be between 10 and 28 km/h.
The higher the assist level you have set, the more
distinct this assistance characteristic becomes.
• The level of assistance you have selected.
In the highest assist level (Boost), the motor as-
sists you with the highest output and therefore also
uses the most energy. If you have selected the low-
est assist level (Eco), you receive the least amount
of assistance but have the battery’s maximum
range at your disposal.
• How fast you ride
When you set o on your Pedelec, the assistance
increases as you build up speed until it reaches its
maximum, just before the highest assisted speed
is achieved. Then it reduces automatically and
switches o at roughly 25 km/h, irrespective of the
gear you are in. Depending on the power-assist
mode you are riding in, the transition between rid-
ing with and without power assist may seem more
or less abrupt.
