4.  Put the battery in the docking station of the 

charger. The battery LEDs light up or flash during 

charging. You must fully charge the battery before 

using it for the first time.

5.  Once all LEDs have gone out, take the battery 

out of the docking station.

6.  Reinsert the battery into the holder on the 

Pedelec from the left-hand side. Move the battery 

outwards at an angle of roughly 45° as you do so, 

as you did when you took it out of the holder. Move 

the battery into the upright position until the lock-

ing mechanism engages. If the key is still in the 

lock, you will need to turn it clockwise and pull it 

out to allow the battery to lock in place.

7.  Make sure that the battery is securely posi-

tioned and that the key is no longer in the lock.

   If your Pedelec is equipped with an LED control 

panel:

Push the "Power" button on the control panel on 

the handlebar. 

Wait for 2 seconds before turning 

the pedals

. The drive system requires this time 

when no force is applied to the pedals to adjust the 

power sensor correctly.

9.  The intermediate power-assist mode appears 

on the display panel of the LED control panel. 

Press the "Mode" buttons to select the level of as-

sistance: "gentle / LOW", "intermediate / MID" or 

"powerful / HIGH“. Press this button once to change 

the assist level by one level. You can increase or 

reduce the assistance, depending on which "Mode" 

button you press.

10. 

If your Pedelec is equipped with a LCD control 

panel:

Push the "On / Off" button on the control panel on 

the handlebar. 

Wait for 2 seconds before turning 

the pedals

. The drive system requires this period 

after switching on during which no force is applied 

to the pedals to adjust the power sensor correctly. 

Press the "Assist" button to select the power assist 

mode. This works in both directions. The assis-

tance output increases or decreases depending on 

which “Assist” button you press. If you are using 

the most powerful setting then press the button 

again, you return to a mode without assistance. 

Always operate one of the brakes before putting one 

of your feet on a pedal as the motor pulls your bike 

away immediately. This starting assistance is very 

convenient, especially when starting on hills. If you 

start off in road traffic or on unsurfaced roads without 

controlling your speed, you could come off your bike 

and seriously injure yourself.
