3.3. Control unit information
The main control unit will constantly inform you about the
two most important parameters:
· Battery charge level
· Active assistance level
3.3.1. Battery charge level
The main unit will display the current battery level (SOC
State Of Charge) by means of the visible length of the LED
bar. 100% capacity is represented along the whole line, but
as the battery is gradually depleted, the illuminated length
of the LED bar will decrease representing the decrease in
capacity. However, the LED bar will always keep a mini-
mum of one LED illuminated in order to show the level of
assistance used.
The LED line is generated by 7 LEDs that can create visual
effects and animations. For the charge level and the length
of the illuminated LED bar, the reference is as follows:

3.3.2. Actual assistance level
The system has three different assistance levels that can be
customised by the user using the MAHLE My SmartBike
APP. In addition, you can activate the "Smart Assist" mode
via the app and a fourth level of assistance is then dis-
played. Each level of assistance is represented by a colour:
3.3.3. Adjusting LED intensity
The main button of the control unit has an integrated light
sensor by means of which the control unit will automati-
cally increase or decrease the intensity of the LED line to
improve the visibility of the information.
