When changing a wheel, make sure that the sensor cable is
routed so that it is not under tension and has no kinks.
The CenterLock magnet (4) can only be removed and rein-
serted up to 5 times.
Rim Magnet
Warning against hand injuries from parts at-
tracted to the magnet: There is a risk of in-
jury if your fingers or your hands get
between the magnet and the objects being
attracted by it. Injuries to the skin (e.g. from attracted
metal chips), bruises, contusions or fractures can be the
consequence. You can avoid this by being careful and wear-
ing the appropriate protective clothing.
Note: The rim magnet's alignment with the rim must not be
changed (see figure A).
If a rim magnet is installed, no sensor is required to detect a
wheel turn. The drive unit itself detects when the magnet is
close to it and calculates the speed and any other data re-
quired from the frequency of the emergence of the magnet
field.
Since the drive unit is sensitive to magnetic fields, avoid
other magnetic fields in the vicinity of the drive unit (e.g.
magnetic clipless pedals, magnetic cadence sensors, mag-
netic or magnetised tools, etc.) in order to prevent disrup-
tion to the drive unit.
Operation
A control unit from the system generation the smart system
is required for the starting operation of the eBike. Please ob-
serve the operating instructions of the control unit and, if ne-
cessary, additional components from the system generation
the smart system.
Notes on Cycling with Your eBike
When does the drive work?
The drive assists your cycling only when you are pedalling. If
you do not pedal, the assistance will not work. The drive
power always depends on the pedalling force and cadence
you apply.
If you apply less force or a lower cadence, you will receive
less assistance than if you apply a lot of force or a higher ca-
dence. This applies irrespective of the riding mode.
The drive automatically switches off at speeds over
25 km/h. When the speed falls below 25 km/h, the drive
automatically becomes available again.
An exception applies to the walk assistance function, in
which the eBike can be pushed at low speed without ped-
alling. The pedals may rotate when the walk assistance is in
use.
You can also use the eBike as a normal bicycle without as-
sistance at any time, either by switching off the eBike or by
setting the riding mode to OFF. The same applies when the
eBike battery is drained.

Interaction between the Drive Unit and Gear-shifting
The gear shifting should be used with an eBike in the same
way as with a normal bicycle (observe the operating instruc-
tions of your eBike on this point).
Irrespective of the type of gear shifting, it is advisable that
you briefly reduce the pressure on the pedals when changing
gear. This will aid gear shifting and reduce wear on the
powertrain.
By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your speed
and range while applying the same amount of force.
Gaining initial experience
We recommend that you gain initial experience with the
eBike away from busy roads.
Test the various riding modes. Start in a riding mode with a
small amount of assistance. As soon as you feel confident,
you can ride your eBike in traffic like any other bicycle.
Test the range of your eBike in different conditions before
planning longer and more demanding trips.
Influences on range
It is not possible to calculate the range accurately before and
during a trip because the range is affected by a number on
factors.
Enter the factors in the Range Assistant in order to better as-
sess the effects on the range.
Scan the code provided to open the Range As-
sistant.
Taking care of your eBike
Please observe the operating and storage temperatures of
the eBike components. Protect the drive unit, display and
eBike battery against extreme temperatures (e.g. from in-
tense sunlight without adequate ventilation). The compon-
ents (especially the eBike battery) can become damaged
through extreme temperatures.
