4.3 Instructions for riding with the drive system
Observe the following instructions for riding your eBike equipped with the
evation drive system.
Gear change:
The gearshift of your eBike can be operated in the same way as that of a
conventional bicycle. Selecting a suitable gear increases the speed, power
and range of your eBike while maintaining pedal frequency.
Irrespective of the type of gearshift mounted, the following applies:
► Stop pedaling when you change gears. This relieves the load on the
rear derailleur and the drive of your eBike.
Chapter "Usage"
23
Range/trip planning:
How long or how far you can ride your eBike before you need to recharge
the battery depends on several factors.
These factors include, but are not limited to:
• the set support level;
• the (riding) speed with which you move;
• your gear changing;
• the type of tire and the tire pressure set;
• the chosen route and weather conditions;
• the weight of driver and eBike (total weight);
• the condition and age of the battery
The following therefore applies as a matter of principle:
► Familiarize yourself with your eBike step by step and away from roads
and heavy traffic.
► Test the maximum range of your eBike under various external conditions
before planning longer trips. An exact statement about the range of
your system is neither possible before nor during a trip.
Storage and operating temperatures
► Observe the operating and storage temperatures for the components
of the drive system and for the components of your eBike - especially
for the battery, as it can be damaged by extreme temperatures.
4.4 Switching on the drive system after standstill
Your eBike will come to a standstill as soon as it is switched
• After 15 minutes of standstill, the drive system (not the battery!)
