When does the drive take effect?
The drive assists your cycling only when you are ped-
aling. If you do not pedal, the assistance will not work.
The drive output always depends on the pedaling
force and cadence that you apply.
With a lower force applied or a less frequent cadence,
the assistance provided will be lower than that sup-
plied at a higher force or a more frequent cadence.
This applies irrespective of the riding mode.
The drive automatically switches off at speeds over
20 mph. When the speed falls below 20 mph, the
drive automatically becomes available again.
An exception applies to the push assistance function,
in which the eBike can be pushed at low speed with-
out pedaling. The pedals may rotate when the push
assistance is in use.
You can also use the eBike as a normal bicycle with-
out assistance at any time, either by switching off the
eBike or by setting the riding mode to OFF. The same
applies when the eBike battery is drained.
Interaction of the drive unit with the gear-
shifting
You should shift through gears on an eBike in the
same manner as when using a normal bicycle (ob-
serve the operating instructions of your eBike with re-
gard to this point).
Irrespective of the type of gear shifting, it is advisable
that you briefly reduce the pressure on the pedals
when changing gear. This will aid gear shifting and re-
duce wear on the powertrain.
By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your
speed and range while applying the same amount of
force.
Test the range of your eBike in different conditions
before planning longer and more demanding trips.
Read and understand the influences on the oper-
u
ating range planning your ride (see "Influences on
range", page English – 11).

Influences on range
The range is affected by a number of factors, such as:
– Riding mode
– Speed
– Gear shifting behavior
– Tire type and tire pressure
– Age and condition of the eBike battery
– Route profile (gradients) and conditions (road sur-
face)
– Headwind and ambient temperature
– Weight of eBike, rider, passenger and luggage.
For this reason, it is not possible to predict the range
accurately before and during a trip. However, as a
general rule:
– With the same riding mode on the drive: The less
energy you need to exert in order to reach a certain
speed (e.g. by changing gears optimally), the less
energy the drive will consume and the higher the
range per battery charge will be.
– The more powerful the selected riding mode under
otherwise constant conditions, the smaller the
range will be.
Note: Plan your routes so that you can always reach
your destination without drive assistance.
