Motor hot Cause: You have pushed the BIKEDRIVE to the maximal permitted motor tem-
perature.
What happens now? Just keep on going!
The motor will automatically regulate to the highest possible torque output
without exceeding the maximum permitted motor temperature.
You can continue to use all support levels and you will be assisted by the motor
whereby, depending on the load, full torque will temporarily not be available in
«Boost» mode. The more you relieve the motor thus permitting it to cool down,
the sooner you can expect «Boost» and to return to reach full torque.
1.7.3 Battery Capacity
Among other factors, the operating range per battery charge also depends on
the following influencing factors.
How to get
the most out
of a battery
charge
• Gross weight and rolling friction: For example, additionally carried
weight, trailer, low tire pressure, grazing brakes, worn components,
headwind.
• Topography
• Ambient temperature: By principle, the battery can only deliver its
maximum capacity within given temperature limits (Table 4 on
page 27).
• Support level/start-up/acceleration/changing gears: The more you
make use of motorized assistance (thus especially at start-up, during
acceleration, and when climbing a hill), the less your distance and
operating range will be.
Use the gears as with a “normal” bike. Thereby, shift early into a lower
gear when climbing a hill.
Running
empty
You may fully discharge the battery. The internal controller ensures that the
battery does not suffer damage.
Shutdown The BIKEDRIVE switches off completely after approximately 30 minutes without
