Driving with drive assistance
The electric drive assistance oers you choice of three dierent assistance
modes. On the e-muli st, you select the levels vi the buttons on the control
element on the handlebars. On the Pendix drive, the support modes are set vi
the selection wheel directly on the battery. Once switched on, pedaling activa-
tes the system and motor assistance kicks in. Sensors in the motor unit measure
your pedaling movements and thus automatically control the motor assistance
depending on the assistance selected.
The harder you pedal, the more support the drive provides. When you reach
speed of 25 km/h, the electronic assistance switches o.
At the beginning of using the e-muli px, you will notice that the mid-motor main-
tains the thrust for small moment longer even after you stop pedaling. This is
common characteristic of the drive system. However, you will notice that after
steady use, the Pendix system will adapt to your personal riding style and such
eects will diminish.
You can read the battery charge level on the battery itself or, on the e-muli st,
on the control on the handlebars.
Keep in mind that with an electronic assist, you will be riding faster than ordinary
cyclists. Other road users may underestimate your speed.
For more information on the drive system, refer to chapter „Battery and control
unit“ in this manual and to the system instructions of the drive manufacturer.
With your e-muli, you travel quietly and at higher
speeds than with conventional bicycle. Pedestrians
can therefore easily misjudge you or perceive you too
late. Therefore, ride particularly considerately and with
foresight to avoid accidents. Using your bell also helps
to avoid dangerous situations.
Get used to the higher speeds and accelerations of
your e-muli on trac-free route before you venture
out into trac.
Drive with particular care in curves and on slippery sur-
faces such as wetness, scree or similar. The increased
speeds due to the electric drive increase the risk of
slipping away and falling in such situations.
When mounting the e-muli, be careful not to start pedaling
before you are safely seated on the saddle and have the
handlebars in your hand. Otherwise, the e-muli could start
uncontrollably.
Charge your battery in good time and make sure that you do
not deep discharge the battery. The rechargeable batteries
do not know any memory eect and can be charged without
problems at any charge level.
Only charge the battery of your e-muli with the original
charger, even if the plugs of another charger should t. The-
re is risk of explosion.
