Intended Use

Your E-Series bike has an electric pedal assist drive system. It is not a
moped or motorcycle. In EU countries, it is known legally as an “EPAC”
cycle or Electrically Powered Assisted Cycle.
The drive assist system consists of a drive unit, a battery, a computer
control, and various electronic components (harness wires, sensors, and
switches). Your E-Series bike does share components common with
pedal only bikes.
It is important to know that when the assist system is turned ON, the
drive unit engages to provide power only while you are pedaling. The
amount of power provided by the drive unit depends on your pedaling
force and the assistance mode/level you set with the handlebar control
unit. At anytime, if you stop pedaling, the drive assist will disengage.
In all modes/levels, the drive assist system power reduces progressively
and cuts off as the bike reaches a speed of 25 km/h, (15.5 mph), or
sooner if you stop pedaling. The drive assist re-engages when speed
drops below 25 km/h, (15.5 mph) as long as the pedals are turning.
Whenever the drive assist system is turned OFF, You can pedal the bike
normally. The drive system will not engage.

OPERATION

Notes on Riding with the
eBike System

When does the eBike Drive Operate?

The eBike drive supports you when riding, as long as you step into
the pedals. Without pedaling, there is no assistance. The motor
output always depends on the amount of your pedaling power.

When applying less pedaling power, the assistance or support will
be lower than when applying a lot of pedaling power. This applies
independent of the assistance Level.

The eBike drive automatically switches off at speeds in excess
of 25 km/h. When the speed falls below 25 km/h, the drive is
automatically available again. An exception applies for the push­assistance function, in which the eBike can be pushed at low speed
without pedaling. The eBike can also be ridden as a normal bicycle
without assistance at any time, by either switching off the eBike
system or setting the assistance level to “OFF”. The same applies
when the battery pack is empty.

Interaction of the eBike System with the Bicycle Gears

The bicycle gears should be used as with a normal bicycle, even
with eBike drive (please observe the operating instructions of your
eBike).

Independent of the type of gearing, it is recommended to briefly
interrupt the pedaling while changing gears. This makes changing
gears easier and reduces the wear of the drive train.

By selecting the right gear, you can increase the speed and range
with the same pedaling effort.

Gathering First Experience

It is recommended to gather first experience with the eBike away
from roads with heavy traffic.

Try out the different assistance levels. As soon as you feel safe, you
can participate in traffic with the eBike as with any other bicycle.

Test the operating range of your eBike under different conditions
before planning longer and more challenging rides.

Factors Affecting Assistance Range

1. Battery Charge Level - A fully charged battery will provided

the greatest range. Before every ride, make sure the battery
is fully charged.

2. Assitance Mode & Support Level - The assistance mode and
support level you select during the ride will affect the operating
range.

3. Temperature & Wind Conditions - Extreme cold or hot
conditions will result in more rapid depletion of the battery’s
energy, reducing available range. Overcoming strong winds
on the cycling route will shorten assistance range since more
battery energy is required. Conversely, a tailwind (wind behind
you) acts to propel the cycle reducing the energy requirement.

4. Rider Weight & Cargo - Adding weight to the bicycle (rider or
cargo) cycle will require the drive unit to work harder, requiring
more battery energy - shorter range. If you carry a backpack
or extra luggage on the rack, more energy will be needed, and
overall range will be reduced.

5. Tire Pressure/Condition- Make sure your tires are in good
shape (e.g. good tread, undamaged) and pressurized properly
according to the tire sidewall markings. Poor tire condition or
Inadequate air pressure will shorten range.

6. Shifting Gears & Braking - You should shift gears similarly to
a normal pedaling bicycle. Efficient gear changes will result in
greatest available range. Maintaining a uniform speed and
effective braking will help you maximize the energy stored in
the battery.

7. Accelerating From Stopped - The drive system utilizes more
battery energy during it initial acceleration. Therefore, a
commute with frequent starting and stopping will consume
more energy, shortening range. You can extend your range by
carefully managing your speed throughout the trip to avoid
unnecessary starts and stops.

8. Drive Chain Condition - Be sure to keep the chain clean and
well lubricated. Have the chain replaced with a new one.

9. Pedaling - Pedaling steadily with moderate effort with the
drive unit will result in the greatest range. While all that is
requirted to engage the assistance is a turning pedal, you’ll
want to contribute especially on uphill or rough terrain. If you
rely solely on the drive unit, the range will be much shorter.

Inserting and Removing the HMI
(see figure A)

To insert the HMI 3, slide it from the front into the holder 4.

To remove the HMI 3, press the lock latch 15 and slide the HMI
toward the front out of the holder 4.

■ Remove the HMI when you park the eBike.

It is possible to secure the HMI against removal in the holder. To do
so, remove the holder 4 from the handlebars. Put the HMI in the
holder. Screw the locking screw 16 (thread M3, 8mm long) from
below into the thread provided in the holder. Mount the holder back
onto the handlebars.

Checking the Speed Sensor
(seefigureB)

The speed sensor 17 and its spoke magnet 18 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 5mm, yet
no more than 17mm.

Note: If the clearance between speed sensor 17 and spoke magnet
18 is too small or too large, or if the speed sensor 17 is not properly

connected, the speed indication f will fail, and the eBike drive will
operate in emergency mode.

In this case, loosen the screw of the spoke magnet 18 and fas-ten
the spoke magnet to the spoke in such a manner that it runs past
the mark of the speed sensor at the correct clearance. When the
speed is still not being indicated in the speed indication f after this,
please refer to an authorised bicycle dealer.

Switching the eBike System On/Off

Options for switching on the eBike system:

– If the HMI is already switched on when inserted into the holder,

then the eBike system will be switched on automatically.

– When the HMI and the battery pack are inserted, briefly press

the On/Off button 5 of the HMI once.

– When the HMI is inserted, press the On/Off button of the

battery pack (see battery pack operating instructions).

The drive is activated as soon as you step into the pedals (except
when in push assistance mode, see “Switching the Push/Start Aid
On/Off” . The motor output depends on the settings of the HMI.

As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal operation, or as soon
as you have reached a speed of 25/45km/h, the assistance from the
eBike drive is switched off. The drive is automatically reactivated as
soon you start pedaling again and the speed is below 25/45km/h.
