Leitner Libelle - Service Unlocking the Throttle for Off-Road Use; Controller

Unlockingthethrottletoaccelerate
toapproximately25km/h
IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTE
Leitner electric bikes are built to comply with Australian
road rules. For 250 watt bikes, this means that the
throttle speed is limited to “walking speed”, around
6km/h in the factory setting, in order to comply with the
norm called EN15194. It is the European Ebike Norm
which has been adapted by Australia. Please find more
info here:
http://www.bicycles.net.au/2012/05/australian‐
government‐clarifies‐ebike‐import‐laws/
Many customers were asking for a throttle which allows
the bike to go around 25km/h without pedalling. We have
included a feature in Leitner electric bike models to unlock
the throttle as described below.
WARNING! After unlocking the throttle your eBike will
no longer comply with the EN15194 standard and may
be illegal in your state for use on roads. Therefore the
bike must NOT be used on public roads if the throttle is
unlocked. The bikes must only be used on private
property or other OFF ROAD locations where it is legal to
use such a bike.
If you ride a 250w bike with the unlocked throttle on
public roads you may receive heavy fines for riding “a
motorbike without registration and license”. We would
like you to be aware of this and Leitner Electric Bikes does
under no circumstances take any liability for any issues
involving riding a bike with unlocked throttle illegally.

The controller is the “brain” of the ebike. All wires are
connected to it and the controller controls all functions of
the bike including the speed limits.
WARNING! Switch off and remove the battery from the
bike before accessing the controller to avoid accidental
short circuits. Wear personal protective protective
equipment like safety glasses. Handle wires with care and
don’t use force to avoid damaging the wires. If you don’t
feel comfortable with these instructions have the
procedure performed by a skilled ebike technician.
