Legislation
Inquire about the current legal requirements in your country or in your area before
putting your bike into operation.
Equipped with the BIKEDRIVE, the bike is a vehicle with motorized assistance.
Depending on the country, the vehicle is called E-Bike, Pedelec (Pedal Electric
Cycle), electric or motor-assisted bicycle, electro moped, autocycle, or similar,
and is subject to appropriate legal regulations.
Federal, State, and in some cases, city laws regulate aspects, such as, traffic
rules, permitted speed, type approval and homologation, compulsory insur-
ance, driving license, required equipment, etc.
1.3 Functional Principle
From a
standing
start in
action!
Additional power determined by the selected level from the BIKEDRIVE starts
as soon as you start pedaling. Upon reaching the maximum limited speed
(depending on your PowerGrip model), the motor automatically turns off.
You can switch off and re-activate the motorized assistance at any time. At
standstill, the motor can act as a pushing aid.
1.4 Driving Modes
Zero Motorized assistance is deactivated. You may switch to «Zero» at any time and
continue “normal cycling”. Thereby, the BIKEDRIVE behaves as if completely
switched off. It runs in internal freewheel and you will not even notice that it is
there.
Power1

Power3
You will be motor-assisted while pedaling. The torque applied by the drive will
be determined by the support level you have selected with the PowerGrip.
Boost While pedaling in the highest support level «Power3», you can continue turning
the PowerGrip to get extra performance and a torque of up to 50 Nm.
Pushing aid If you activate «Boost» at standstill, the motor will support you while pushing
the bike.
