Push assist
Using the push-assist function, the e-bike can be pushed more
comfortably at low speed without pedalling. The push assist can be
activated from the remote control (b).
Using the bike without assist
You can also use your BMW Active E-Bike at any time without
assistance, exactly like when you ride a normal bike, either by
switching off the e-bike system or setting the assist level to
"OFF" (see "Setting the assist level" on the Display section). The
same applies when the battery charge is lower than 5%.
Familiarization
Take the time to get used to your BMW Active E-Bike before
Before setting off on long trips, gain experience of how
different parameters and ambient conditions affect the
range of your e-bike.

Effects on range
The range is affected by many factors, such as:
- Assist level. The higher the selected assist level, the shorter the
range (in identical ride conditions).
- Gear changing style
- Type of tyre
- Tyre pressure
- Deterioration of the battery
- Route type (slopes) and conditions (road surface)
- Weather conditions (e.g. head wind, ambient temperature etc.)
- Weight of e-bike
- Payload.
Careful handling of the BMW Active E-bike
Take care with the temperatures at which the e-bike components
are operated and stored. Protect the drive unit, the display
unit and the battery pack from extreme temperatures (e.g. due
to intensive sunlight without ventilation to compensate). The
components (particularly the battery pack) might be damaged by
extreme temperatures.
