Getting started - Safety check
4. Getting started - Safety check
Although your X Speed has been subjected to a final check
during assembly and by the dealer, the transport and the
time may have caused changes.
Therefore, before your first ride, and every ride, you should
consider some important things and check the vehicle.
1. Make yourself intensely familiar with the Speed Pedelec and
the functioning of the electric drive, before the first ride in
public trac.
2. Check the correct setting of the saddle and the handlebars
(see section 7.1).
3. Check the correct function of the brakes
4. Check the air pressure and the profile depth of the tyres.
5. Check the lighting system for proper operation.
6. Check the tightness of the bolts and nuts of the wheels.
7. Check the minimum insertion of the seat post.
Caution: Do not start when you identify deficiencies in one
of these points. While riding a defective Speed Pedelec this
can cause serious accidents and endanger your live. If in
doubt, please contact your dealer or our technical hotline.
Your bike suers wear and tear in everyday riding
through extreme weather and road bumps. Through
constant dynamic loads all parts of the bike experience
material fatigue and wear. Therefore, examine your
bike regularly for wear of the components and other
changes such as scratches, cracks or discoloration. These
symptoms may be signs of damage and a future failure
of the accessory. Bring your bike to your dealer regularly
and comply with the plan of inspection, so he can fix or
replace these parts.
Please note! The everchanging road and weather
conditions will constantly fatigues the X Speed
and its components and parts. This may cause
fatigue and wear. Therefore, it is recommended to
inspect your Speed Pedelec on a regular basis and
look for wear of parts and changes in scratches or
cracks, or the discolouring of parts. These could
possibly indicate damage of the part. Following
the inspection plan in section 19, you best bring
your X Speed to your Klever dealer for inspection,
service, maintenance and repair.

Behavior in road traffic
5. Behaviour in road trac
Due to the electric auxiliary propulsion you reach high speeds
and accelerate much faster than you are used to with a
regular bike. Therefore, you should intensively familiarise
yourself with the Speed Pedelec only on a trac free road
before you go in public trac. During riding on the road, you
should follow these tips:
• Always wear a helmet during riding.
• Make yourself familiar with the trac rules and stick to
the rules.
• Be ready to brake at any time and expect misconduct of
others.
• Ride defensively and be considerate to other road users.
• Always keep your bike in a perfect condition.
• Use your bike only in accordance with its intended purpose
(see chapter 13."normal use").
• Don't use a mobile phone nor a headset while riding.
• Be sure to observe the maximum weight of 150 kg of the
bicycle (see chapter 11. Technical Data).
• Please have your Speed Pedelec checked regularly by an
authorised Klever dealer, according to the recommended
service intervals.

The Klever Mobility propulsion
6. The Klever Mobility
propulsion – the BIACTRON
system
You have purchased a Speed Pedelec that helps you improve
your day to day mobility, with its electric propulsion system.
Slopes can be better managed and the wind resistance can
be better overcome.
This electric auxiliary drive consists of the following
components: 1. Battery; 2. Motor; 3. Control unit/Display; 4.
Motor controller; 5. Torque sensor ; 6. Pedal Sensor ; 7. Charger
(Image 8a).
Once you have turned on the system and you start pedalling
the motor will support you as long as you pedal, up to a max.
speed of 45 km/h.
Due to its maximum speed, the X Speed is no longer
considered as a normal bicycle. It is obliged to be insured
and does need a license. Likewise, it is compulsory to wear a
helmet and we strongly recommend it for your own safety.
The five (dierent) levels of support you can select according
to the external circumstances (e.g. level four (high level) on
climbing uphill or headwind) or your personal preferences.

The Klever Mobility propulsion
Please note that a high level of support also means a higher
consumption of current and reduces the range of the system
and the battery.
When you ride faster than 55 km/h., the automatic energy
recovery (technical recuperation) is activated. The motor
operates as a generator and re-charges the battery.
In case the technical recuperation has been activated,
you will hear an acoustic signal. During the process of
recuperation the bars on the display representing the
battery state of charge will start to flash and the LED
light on the battery will once flash red, yellow and green
consecutively.
6.1. Sensors and function
The Speed Pedelec is equipped with a torque sensor in the
dropout, and it is electronically controlled. This sensor
accurately measures the change in chain force at every
pedal stroke (left or right) and informs the system about the
force you exert during pedalling. A computer in the control
unit then calculates these values, and manages precisely
the amount of support from the motor, hence generating a
perfect synergy between the cyclist and the X Speed.
During pedalling, the torque and the pedal sensor measure
very sensitively and exactly the rider’s input and enable
the motor controller to operate the additionally support
of the motor tailored to the needs and riding conditions of
the cyclist.
You can also define the amount of motor support by yourself
choosing between the five levels of support (Turbo, High,
Medium, Low, Ultra Low).
This makes the system very ecient and economic, saving
power consumption and maximizing range. The additional
speed sensor sets the power of the electric motor to zero
once you have reached 45 km/h. Above 45 km/h. speed, the
Speed Pedelec works like a conventional bicycle, the only
way to maintain the propulsion of the vehicle is by pedalling
solely.
The electric motor will only activate if you pedal, therefore,
from a standstill, to start, either you have to pedal, or
actuate the Walk/Turbo button. Without pedalling, by
pressing the Walk/turbo button, the electric motor support
will take you to a maximum speed of 18 km/h. The Walk/
Turbo button was designed as an aid when starting uphill
or in case the bike has to be pushed.
16
www.klever-mobility.com
6.2 Levels of support
The propulsion system provides five levels of support.
Depending on topography, weather conditions and your own
preferences, you can choose the motor support using the plus
(+) and minus (-) keys and the boost button on the control
panel (see the separate manual of the LCD-display).
System Level Support
Driving situation (recommended)
UL (Ultra Low) No support, system is
activated
Downhill
L (low) Low support On the plain
M (medium) Medium support Slight hill / headwind
H (High) Strongest support Steep hill / fierce headwinds
T (High) while pedalling
< 45 km/h
Strongest support Steep ramps / violent gusts
T (High) without pedalling
< 18 km/h
Strongest support Starts on hill / pushing uphill
T (High) walking with the X
Speed < 4 km/h
Walk assist (á) While walking with your X Speed
or pushing out of your garage.
Please note! In case you actuate the Turbo button (á),
there are 3 options depending on the situation:
1. You walk alongside the X Speed and/or you push it out
of your garage.
Make sure the support level you select is L. While
pushing the Walk/Turbo
(á)
button you will activate
the Walk-assist mode and you will trigger a moderate
electric motor power up to 4 km/h. In this way you can
walk with your vehicle comfortably and easily.
Warning: In case you preselected the M or H support
levels, then the maximum speed of the vehicle will
be too high to be able to walk comfortably and safely
alongside the X Speed
.
2. You are sitting on your X Speed and intend to start
from standstill on a ramp without pedalling. Push the
Turbo button (á) and you will get the strongest support
up to 18 kph/. provided you preselected the M or H level.
3. You are sitting on your X Speed and you are pedalling
with for instance M level support and you need strongest
support momentarily. Push the Turbo button (á) while
pedalling and you will trigger the strongest support
regardless your speed (from 0 to 45 km/h).
The Klever Mobility propulsion
17
www.klever-mobility.com
Please note! These 3 options will only function while you
keep the Turbo button pushed. As soon as you release the
Turbo button, the electric power support will stop. Except
in the case of pedalling: in that case after releasing the
Turbo button the level of electric power support will go
back to the preselected level (level M as the example in
option 3).
In order to save battery power, the support level will
automatically be limited to the M level when the battery
capacity drops to 10%. When the battery capacity drops to 5%
the support level will be limited to the L level and in the case of
a battery capacity of 2% or less the level will be UL.
6.3 Rechargeable battery
Your Pedelec has a high-quality lithium-ion battery of the
newest generation. For technical details, please refer to
section 11 Technical data.
The status of the battery can always be checked through the
LED light button, next to the charging socket of the battery
(image 9). If you press the button, the LED will shine either
red, yellow or green. If light stays o, then the battery could
be broken. Please have your local dealer check the battery.
red capacity <35%, battery should be charged
yellow capacity 35 - 75%; battery can be charged
green capacity> 75% battery can be charged
The battery is automatically protected from overheating,
overcharging and deep discharging. It is very user-friendly,
very practical, very easy and simple to handle.
Nevertheless, you should consider some important things in
order to maximise the life and performance of the battery.
Since the lithium ion battery has no memory eect, you can
charge it at any time, even if it is not completely discharged.
In practice, it has been shown that it is even better to charge
it again after short distances.
Your battery has a lifetime of 700 charging cycles. One
charging cycle means a full charge of the battery (0-100%
capacity). Partial loads can be done more often.
When the battery is not being used for a long time (more
than 2 months) is not used, it should be recharged as a low
self-discharge is normal. Store the battery, if possible, in a
dry, cool and dark place. The ideal storage temperature is
between 5-20° C.
