Setting the Assistance Level

With the on-board computer you can set how much the
eBike drive assists you while pedaling. The assistance level
can be changed at any time while the system is on, even
while cycling.
Note: For individual versions, it is possible that the assis-
tance level is preset and cannot be changed. It is also pos-
sible that fewer assistance levels are available for selection
than listed here.
The following assistance levels (max.) are available:
– "OFF": The motor assistance is switched off and the
eBike can be moved by pedaling. The walk assistance
cannot be activated in this assistance level.
– "ECO": Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
maximum cruising range
– "TOUR": Uniform assistance, for touring with long cruis-
ing range
– "SPORT": Powerful assistance for sporty off-road rid-
ing, as well as for urban traffic
– "TURBO": Maximum assistance, supporting the highest
speed for sporty riding
The selected motor output appears on the display of the on-
board computer. The maximum motor output depends on
the selected assistance level.

Switching the Walk Assistance On/Off
The walk assistance can make it easier for you to push the
eBike. The speed of this function depends on the selected
gear and can reach a maximum of 3.7 mph. The lower the
selected gear, the lower the speed of the walk assistance
function (at full capacity).
 Using the walk assistance function is only recom-
mended when pushing the eBike. There is risk of injury
if the wheels of the eBike are not in contact with the
ground while using the walk assistance.
To activate the walk assistance function, briefly press but-
ton "WALK" on your on-board computer. After activation,
press button "+" within 3 s and keep it pressed. The eBike
drive is switched on.
Note: The walk assistance cannot be activated in the "OFF"
assistance level.
The walk assistance is switched off as soon as one of the
following occurs:
– you release the button "+",
– the wheels of the eBike are stopped (e.g. by actuating
the brakes or impacting against an obstacle),
– the speed exceeds 3.7 mph.
Note: On some systems the walk assistance function can
be started directly by pressing the "WALK" button.
Switching bike lights On/Off
On the version which has bike lights powered by the eBike
system, the front and rear lights can be switched on and off
at the same time via the on-board computer.
