5.  If you have charged the battery in the docking 

station, reinsert the battery into the holder on the 

Pedelec from the left-hand side. Tilt 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 as otherwise the battery will not lock in place.

9.  The system will now perform a system check. 

“Please move the pedals” will appear on the 

screen. If you set off now the system will normally 

detect a pedal movement in the “drive” and “back-

pedal brake” directions. This completes the safety 

check, and you can ride as normal with assistance. 

  If you cannot feel any assistance, simply back-pedal 

briefly and then pedal forwards again to trigger the 

system check. If there is still no assistance being 

delivered, the instruction “Please move the  

pedals” will continue to be displayed. In this case 

you should consult a specialist dealer.

You can now ride off just as you would if you were  

riding a normal bike. The motor starts providing  

assistance as soon as the rear wheel starts turning.
