6 Notes on the e-bike
E-bikes are available with a speed of up to 25 km/h or with a speed
of over 25 km/h�
E-bikes with a speed of up to 25 km/h do not require a licence
within the EU.
Stricter regulations apply to e-bikes which travel at speeds of over
25 km/h which will be indicated separately�
The term e-bike is used in this original operating manual for both
categories�
6.1 Differences between a bicycle and
an e-bike
The additional components of the electric drive constitute the major
differences between a conventional bike and an e-bike�
– The e-bike is significantly heavier and its weight distribution
is different from conventional bicycles� This results in different
handling�
– The drive has a significant effect on braking characteristics�
– E-bikes require greater braking forces. This may result in
greater wear than with conventional bicycles�
– The electrical assistance will increase your average speed�
Page 17

Notes on the e-bike
• You should therefore cycle attentively. Keep in mind that
other road users must get used to the increased speed of
the e-bike�
– The bike's handling and braking as well as handling of the
rechargeable battery and charger require an appropriate level
of knowledge�
• Familiarise yourself with the characteristics of your e-bike
even if you already have some experience with electric
assisted bicycles (see chapter “Notes / Use / Before your
first ride”)�
6.2 Special characteristics of
45 km/h e-bikes
45 km/h e-bikes are vehicles with electric auxiliary engines, which,
when the pedals are depressed, offer assistance up to a maximum
of 45 km/h� Depending on the model, it is possible to operate the
bicycle using electricity only up to a maximum of 18 km/h.
In some countries, 45 km/h e-bikes are classified as motor vehi-
cles� Obtain information about country-specific and regional regulations and categorisation in your country, e�g� at the Ministry of
Transport�
Do not make any structural modifications�
– Only use original replacement parts e�g� tyres�
– Only use approved accessories�
Take account of differences which are specific to countries and
regions in regard to:
– Minimum age for the use of 45 km/h e-bikes
– Driving licence
– Compulsory insurance and requirement to register the bike
– Operating licence
– Mandatory helmet use
– Provisions governing the use of cycle paths and tracks through
woods and forests�
6.3 EC Certificate of conformity for
45 km/h e-bikes
CoC – Certificate of Conformity
This document is included with your 45 km/h e-bike and specifi-
cally belongs to this particular e-bike� The CoC confirms that the
e-bike corresponds to the approved type. You need the CoC to
insure your e-bike and where appropriate, to register it� Prior to
your first journey, inform yourself of country-specific and regional
regulations�
Note:
Keep the CoC safe. You need it in order to register the e-bike. The
buyer will request the CoC even if you later sell on the e-bike. Ob-
taining a duplicate of the CoC at a later date involves a great deal
of effort and significant costs�
Non EU countries:
It is not certain that the EC certificate of conformity is sufficient in
countries outside the European Union. For Switzerland, for exam-
ple, a type approval and a registration document is also necessary�

Notes on the e-bike
6.4 Functionality
The drive only provides you with riding assistance when you pedal�
The intensity of assistance is automatically adjusted depending on
the selected riding mode, the pressure applied when pedalling, the
load and the speed� The drive assists you up to a speed of 25 km/h
or 45 km/h�
6.5 Range
The drive is an assistive motor� The range is affected by your pedalling intensity�
• Set the assistance as low as possible�
The lower the pedalling frequency of the pedal drive the higher the
energy requirement for the drive.
• Use the gear shift as you would without assistance.
• For inclines, head wind or a heavy load, use the lower gears
of the gear shift�
The drive requires a large amount of energy when starting.
• Always start in a low gear and apply as much pressure to the
pedal as possible�
• Before travelling uphill, switch to a lower gear in time�
• Ride with foresight to avoid any unnecessary stops� The energy consumption will increase with high loads�
• Do not transport any unnecessary loads�
Lack of care and maintenance may reduce the range�
• Handle the e-bike with care and observe all notes regarding
the rechargeable battery in this user manual�
• Check the tyre pressure regularly�
• Comply with the maintenance intervals�
Temperatures below +10 °C may negatively affect the perfor-
mance of the rechargeable battery during operation. When you
are not using your e-bike:
• At low outdoor temperatures, take the rechargeable battery
out of the holder and store it (see chapter “Notes / Recharge-
able battery / Storing the rechargeable battery”)�
• Only put it back in the holder directly before cycling�
6.6 Cycling with an empty rechargeable
battery
If the rechargeable battery is completely used up during the ride,
you can use your e-bike as you would a normal bike (see chapter
“Operation / Rechargeable battery / Charging indicator”)�
Note: If the battery charge has been used up, the drive will switch
off� The lighting will be supplied with energy for another 2 hours�
