Checking the Speed Sensor 

(see figure D)

The speed sensor 

11

 and its spoke magnet 

12

must be mounted in such a manner that the 

spoke magnet, after a turn of the wheel, moves 

past the speed sensor with a clearance of at 

least 5 mm, yet no more than 17 mm.

Note: 

If the clearance between speed sensor 

11

and spoke magnet 

12

 is too small or too large, 

or if the speed sensor 

11

 is not properly con-

nected, the speed indication 

a

 will fail, and the 

eBike drive will operate in emergency mode.

In this case, loosen the screw of the spoke mag-

net 

12

 and fasten the spoke magnet to the 

spoke in such a manner that it runs past the 

mark of the speed sensor at the correct clear-

ance. When the speed is still not being indicated 

in the speed indication 

a

 after this, please refer 

to an authorised bicycle dealer.

Operation

Initial Operation

Requirements

The drive of your eBike can only be activated 

when the following requirements are met:

– A sufficiently charged battery is inserted (see 

operating instructions of the battery).

– The drive HMI is properly inserted in the 

holder (see “Inserting and Removing the 

Drive HMI”, page English–2).

– The drive HMI is properly connected (see 

“Checking the Speed Sensor”, page 

English–3).

Switching the Drive On/Off

Insert the battery into the holder and switch it 

on via the On/Off button (see operating instruc-

tions of the battery).

Note: 

When switching on the battery, the pedals 

of the eBike may not be subject to load, as oth-

erwise the output capacity of the drive will be 

limited.

If the battery was inadvertently switched on 

with load applied to the pedals, then switch it 

off and then on again without load.

Switching on the battery also switches on the 

display of the drive HMI. The drive HMI indicates 

the charge condition of the battery as well as 

the settings of the drive unit.

The drive is activated as soon as you step into 

the pedals (except when in start-assistance 

mode, see “Switching Start-assistance On/Off”, 

page English–4). The assistance level depends 

on the settings of the drive HMI.

As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal op-

eration, or as soon as you have reached a speed 

of 45 km/h, the assistance from the eBike drive 

is switched off. The drive is automatically re-ac-

tivated as soon you start pedaling again and the 

speed is below 45 km/h.

To switch off the drive, switch the battery off via 

the On/Off button (see operating instructions of 

the battery).

When no power output of the drive is requested 

for approx. 10 minutes, (e.g., because the eBike 

is parked), the battery automatically switches 

off to save energy.

Indications and Settings of the Drive HMI

Note: 

Indications and settings on the drive HMI 

are only possible when the eBike battery is 

switched on. The drive HMI does not have an 

own power supply.

Charge Condition of the Battery

Besides on the charge-control indicator on the 

battery itself, the charge condition can also be 

read from indicator 

g

 of the drive HMI.

On indicator 

g

, each bar of the battery symbol is 

equivalent to a capacity of approx. 20 %:

Less than 5 % capacity; drive assistance 

is no longer possible. The LEDs of the 

charge-control indicator on the battery go out.

When the eBike lighting is powered via the bat-

tery (country-specific), the capacity upon first 

indication of the empty battery symbol will be 

sufficient for approx. 2 hours of lighting. When 

the symbol begins to flash, the lighting will con-

tinue to operate only for a short period.

100 % to 80 % capacity

20 % to 5 % capacity; the battery 

should be recharged.
