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’s weight is considerably greater and its weight
is distributed differently than with conventional bikes.
This results in different handling.
- The drive has a significant effect on braking characteristics.
- E-bikes require greater braking forces. The wear may be
greater than with conventional bicycles as a result.
- The electrical assistance will increase your average speed.
• 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”).
Functionality
When riding, the drive only provides 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.
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 performance 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 »
Rechargeable battery » Storing the rechargeable battery”).
• Only put it back in the holder directly before cycling.
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”).
Drive overheat protection
CAUTION
Risk of injury!
The drive and rechargeable battery can become very hot
if a fault is at hand. You could injure yourself in the event
of contact with your skin.
• Do not touch the drive and the rechargeable battery.
The drive is automatically protected against damage caused
by overheating. If the temperature of the drive is too high, the
drive will automatically switch off.
• To prevent the drive from overheating, set a low level of
assistance at high outdoor temperatures or roads or paths
with a substantial incline (see chapter “Operation» E-bike »
Setting the level of assistance”).
• If the drive is switched off when the rechargeable battery
is charged and at a speed of under 25 km/, do not use the
e-bike temporarily to allow the drive to cool off.
• If allowing the drive to cool off does not resolve the
disturbance, have your specialist bicycle dealer inspect
the e-bike.
