Setting The Control Element; Riding Information - Cube GO SwissDrive Betriebsanleitung

5.2 Setting the control element
once you have found a good seat position, adjust the control element before the first
ride so that you can reach it easily and read all the functions. make yourself familiar
with the buttons and displays.
You can find further information on the control element in the section "Control ele-
ment".
5.3 riding information
Your Go SwissDrive system supports your effort at the pedals to varying degrees
(1). You can select this at the control element (2). If you do not turn the pedals then
you get no drive assistance. at 25 km/h the drive assistance is switched off, this is a
legal requirement.
CUBE speed pedelecs that support speeds of up to 45 km/h switch off
A
the drive assistance at 45 km/h. You can find further information in the
section „Riding a Speed Pedelec – Special Features".
If you are riding downhill and want to reduce speed, then you can profit from the
10
fact that the Go SwissDrive system has three levels in recuperation mode (3). This
involves a system that feeds the braking energy of the motor back into the battery.
Note that this system cannot replace both brakes! for that reason always use both
brakes to slow down if the traffic situation or the section of road require this. read
your general bicycle user manual regarding the topic of safe braking.
In certain product series as a result of the design of the energy-saving recuperation op-
tion strong charging currents arise at speeds of more than around 50 km/h that can lead
to the charging function of the battery switching off for a while. This means that due to
the charging currents there is a marked braking action within a narrow speed range, but
if the speed increases further this will cease abruptly when the charging switches off.

certain types of battery switch on again automatically after a few seconds and there-
by cause brief and abrupt braking. These measures that are used to protect the
electronics are not defects or errors.
for that reason be prepared for these effects when riding downhill and adapt your
style of riding accordingly. also, always keep both hands securely on the handlebars
when riding downhill, sit well back on the saddle and do not make any extreme or un-
necessary manoeuvres, especially at high speeds. Be very careful on twisty downhill
sections, for example.
Note that there is no energy recuperation option when riding downhill
i
if the battery is already fully charged.
The riding characteristics of a CUBE pedelec/e-bike differ from those
g
of a conventional bicycle of the same type. For that reason always
practise first on an area with no traffic until you are sure that you have
full control over your CUBE pedelec and only make use gradually of
the full potential of the CUBE pedelec after that.
Please note that car drivers and other road users may underestimate
G
your speed. Always wear bright clothing. Therefore, always ride on
public roads with this fact in mind and anticipate the actions of other
road users. Risk of accident!
The motor becomes warm after longer use. Never touch the motor dur-
g
ing use and within another 30 minutes after use. If you have disk brakes
installed (4), note that they too can get hot. Always let the brakes cool
down before removing the wheels.
