Indications and Settings of the on-board
computer
Energy supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder 4, a sufficiently
charged battery pack is inserted into the eBike and the
eBike system is turned on, then the on-board computer is
powered by the eBike battery pack.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder 4, the
energy is supplied via an internal battery pack. If the inter-
nal battery pack is weak when the on-board computer is
switched on, "Attach to bike" will appear in text indication
d for 3 s. The on-board computer will then turn off again.
To charge the internal battery pack, put the on-board com-
puter back in the holder 4 (when a battery pack is inserted
in the eBike). Switch the eBike battery pack on by its
On/Off button (see battery pack operating instructions).
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB
port. Open the protective cap 8. Connect the USB port 7 of
the on-board computer via a suitable USB cable to a stan-
dard USB charger or the USB port of a computer (5 V charg-
ing voltage, max. 500 mA charging current). "USB con-
nected" will appear in the text indication d of the on-board
computer.

Switching the on-board computer On/Off
To switch on the on-board computer, briefly press the
On/Off button 5. When the internal battery pack is suffi-
ciently charged, the on-board computer can also be
switched on when not inserted in the holder.
To switch off the on-board computer, press the On/Off
button 5.
When the on-board computer is not inserted in the holder
and no button is pressed, it automatically switches off after
1 min to save energy.
 If you do not use your eBike for several weeks, re-
move the on-board computer from its holder. Store
the on-board computer in a dry environment at room
temperature. Regularly recharge the on-board comput-
er's battery pack.

Battery charge-control indicator
The battery pack charge-control indicator i indicates the
charge condition of the eBike's battery pack, and not the
charge condition of the on-board computer's internal bat-
tery. The charge condition of the eBike's battery pack can
also be read from the battery pack's LEDs.
On indicator i, each bar of the battery pack symbol is equiv-
alent to a capacity of approx. 20 %:
The eBike battery is fully charged.
The eBike battery should be recharged.
Once there are no remaining LED bars illuminated
on the charge-control indicator, the motor support
is gently switched off and the charge-control indica-
tor begins to flash. The flashing charge-control indi-
cator means there is only enough battery power re-
maining to power the eBike lights for approximately
2 more hours. This does not account for other con-
sumers (e.g., automatic gearbox, charging external
devices at the USB port).
When the on-board computer is removed from holder 4,
the last indicated battery pack charge condition is stored.
If an eBike is operated with two battery packs, the battery
charge-control indicator i displays the level of both battery
packs.
If an eBike has two battery packs being
OF
charged on the bike, the charging progress of
MPH
KM/
both battery packs will be indicated on the
display (the left-hand battery pack is being
charged in the illustration). You can tell by
the flashing indicator on the battery pack
which of the two battery packs is being
charged.

Setting the Assistance Level
The level of assistance of the eBike drive unit when pedal-
ing can be adjusted via the operating unit 10. The assis-
tance level can be changed anytime, even during riding.
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, the eBike
can be operated as a normal bicycle through pedaling.
– "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
To increase the assistance level, press the "+" button 13
on the operating unit until the desired assistance level is
displayed in indicator b; to decrease the assistance level,
press the "–" button 12.

The requested motor output is displayed in indicator a. The
maximum motor output depends on the selected assis-
tance level.
When the on-board computer is removed from the holder
4, then the last indicated level is not stored and the on-
board computer is reset to the "OFF" mode.
Once it is switched on, the eBike system is in the "OFF"
mode.

Interaction of the eBike System with the Bicycle Gears
The bicycle gears should be used as with a normal bicycle,
even with eBike motor assistance (please follow the operat-
ing instructions for your eBike).
Independent of the type of gearing, it is recommended to
briefly interrupt the pedaling while changing gears. This
makes changing gears easier and reduces the wear on the
drive train.
By selecting the right gear, you can increase the speed and
range with the same pedaling effort.
For this reason, follow the shift recommendations provided
by indications g and h on your display. If indication g is dis-
played, you should shift to a higher gear with lower ca-
dence. If indication h is displayed, you should select a lower
gear with higher cadence.
Switching bike lights On/Off
If your lights are set up to be powered by the eBike system,
then you can use the 2 button on the on-board computer to
simultaneously switch both the front light and the rear light
on and off.
When the lighting is switched on, "Lights on" appears, and
when the lighting is switched off, "Lights off" appears for
approx. 1 s in the text indicator d. The light symbol c is dis-
played when the light is on.
Switching the driving light on and off has no effect on the
backlighting for the display. The backlighting for the display
is active as soon as the system or the display is switched on.
