Check the battery level and if it is low,
charge the battery.
T
urn off the power, wait for a while and
then check once more.
Contact the place of purchase.
Check the Cycle Computer display. Assist
will not occur if the speed is above the
bicycle manufacturer's setting value.
The bicycle is not a motorbike, so you need
to operate the pedals.
Set assist mode to a mode other than [OFF].
If you still do not feel that assistance is
being given, contact the place of purchase.
If you do not feel the assist after
performing the following, contact the place
of purchase.
Press the power switch on the cycle
computer or the battery power button to
turn the power back ON.
Assistance is not being
provided.
Is the battery sufficiently charged?
Are you riding on long slopes in summer
weather or riding for a long time carrying a
heavy load?
The battery may be overheating.
The drive unit, cycle computer or assist
switch may be connected incorrectly or
there may be a problem with one or more
of them.
Is the speed too high?
Are you pedaling?
Is the assist mode set to [OFF]?
Is the system power ON?
17
Page 19
Symptom Cause / Possibility Remedy
The traveling distance may become shorter
depending on road conditions, the gear
position and total light usage time.
The battery characteristics will drop during
winter weather.
Assist traveling distance is
too short.
Pedaling is stiff.
Lights
Symptom Cause / Possibility Remedy
The front light or the tail
light does not illuminate
even when the switch is
pressed.
The battery is a consumable part. Repeated
recharging and long periods of use will
cause the battery to deteriorate (lose its
performance).
Is the battery fully charged?
Are the tires inflated to a sufficient pressure?
Is the assist mode set to [OFF]?
The battery may be running low.
The E-TUBE PROJECT settings may be
wrong.
Check the battery charge. If the battery is
nearly spent, recharge it.
This is not a sign of a problem.
If the distance that can be traveled on a
single charge is very short, replace the
battery with a new one.
If the distance that can be traveled when
the battery is fully charged has decreased,
the battery may have degraded. Replace
the battery with a new one.
Inflate the tire with a bicycle pump.
Set the assist mode to a mode other than
[OFF]. If you still do not feel the assist,
contact the place of purchase.
Check the assistance again after sufficiently
charging the battery. If you still do not feel
the assist, contact the place of purchase.
Contact the place of purchase.
Other
Symptom Cause / Possibility Remedy
When using an electronic
gear shifting, I feel that the
level of assistance weakens
when the gears shift.
Sound occurs after gear
shifting.
A noise can be heard from
the rear wheel during
normal riding.
This occurs because the level of assistance is
being adjusted to the optimum level by
computer.
Gear shifting adjustment may not have
been carried out correctly.
It is not a sign of a malfunction.

Recovering from the RD protection function
In order to protect the system from falls etc., the RD Protection function will operate when the rear derailleur is
subjected to a strong impact. The connection between the motor and the link will be momentarily severed so that the
rear derailleur can no longer operate.
When RD Protection Reset is run, it will restore the connection between the motor and the link, and recover the rear
derailleur from RD Protection.
• This function is enabled for electronic gear shifting rear derailleur models only.

reset mode.
