1.5 Handling
A Word on
Safety
The BIKEDRIVE is extremely powerful! It possesses an extraordinarily high
degree of dynamics that will most likely surprise you at the beginning and it will
require some time to get used to.
Take it easy to start with and use caution on your first rides! Once you are set-
tled, you will experience the BIKEDRIVE to be total fun bearing a certain “addic-
tive potential”! ;-)
1.5.1 PowerGrip
Selecting the
driving mode
By rotating the PowerGrip you select the driving mode and, thereby, the degree
of motorized assistance (“Driving Mode” on page 7). You select the level using
four snap-in and one non-latching positions.
Each change of the selected support level is temporarily displayed by LEDs 1…5.
Following a support level change and while riding, the LEDs will show the
remaining battery level (“Charging Indicator” on page 7). The system status is
continuously displayed with LED A (“Status Indicator” on page 8).

of your bike — particularly in respect to aspects, such as, weight, weight distri-
bution, center of gravity, braking distance, braking response!
• Use extra caution during the “acclimatization phase” and select a low degree
of motorized assistance!
• Be aware that a changed setting at the PowerGrip will have an immediate
effect on the drive system, on speed, and on handling!
