depends on the riding speed and cannot
be regulated. Exception: the rear wheel
brake will not be applied automatically
if the battery is fully charged.
i
The energy recuperated in generator
mode can only be stored in the battery if
the current charge level permits. Energy
recovery may be deactivated when riding
down mountains if the battery is fully
charged. Riding in generator mode then
has no braking effect.

Energy-saving driving style
Your smart ebike assists you with a brush-
less wheel hub motor integrated into the
rear wheel.
Wheel hub motor power output:
R
United Kingdom 200 W
R
EU countries (except the United King-
dom) 250 W
R
Canada 350 W
Depending on the drive level selected, the
riding style and the topography, the drive
assists you for a range of up to 100 km
(62 miles).
If you wish to ride further, the smart ebike
behaves like a completely normal bicycle
without pedal assistance.
The range of the smart ebike with a fully
charged battery depends on the following
factors:
R
the physical performance of the rider
R
the drive and generator level selected
R
the gear selected
R
the gross weight of the ebike, rider and
load
R
the tyre pressure
R
the road surface
R
the topography
R
the temperature
R
the wind conditions
R
the nature of use with frequent starts or
even-paced stretches
R
and the use of generator mode (energy
recuperation) when braking
To achieve the maximum possible range,
observe the following recommendations:
R
select a drive level which is as low as
possible and as high as necessary.
R
to charge the battery during the tour, use
generator mode as often as possible.
R
select a low gear on an uphill gradient
and a high gear on level ground or when
riding downhill.
R
do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R
check the tyre pressures regularly every
14 days and correct them when required
(Y page 44).
Braking
Notes on disc brakes
G
WARNING
On wet roads:
R
the frictional force between the tyres
and the road is reduced.
R
water between the brake pads and brake
disks reduces the effect of the brake sys-
tem.
