1.2 Legal Regulations

Legal regulations

Inquire about the current legal requirements in your country or in your area before

putting your bike into operation.

Equipped with the BIKEDRIVE, the bike is a vehicle with motorized assistance.

Depending on the country, the vehicle is called E-Bike, Pedelec (Pedal Electric

Cycle), electric or motor-assisted bicycle, electro moped, autocycle, or similar,

and is subject to appropriate legal regulations.

Federal, State, and in some cases, city laws regulate aspects, such as, traffic

rules, permitted speed, type approval and homologation, license plate, prove of

roadworthiness/road suitability before an official body, compulsory insurance,

driving license, required equipment (for example, lighting, acoustic warning

device, and specific brakes), etc.

1.3 Functional Principle

From a

standing

start in

action!

Motorized assistance of the BIKEDRIVE commences as soon as you start pedal-

ing while having selected a support level. The motor develops torque according

to the selected support level and the driven speed.

You can switch off and re-activate the motorized assistance at any time. With-

out pedaling, you can use the motor as pushing aid.

1.4 Driving Modes

Zero Motorized assistance is deactivated. You may switch to «Zero» at any time and

continue “normal cycling”. Thereby, the BIKEDRIVE behaves as if completely

switched off. It runs in internal freewheel and you will not even notice that it is

there.

Power1

Power2

Power3

You will be motor-assisted while pedaling. The torque applied by the drive will

be determined by the support level you have selected with the PowerGrip and

the driven speed.

Boost While pedaling in the highest support level «Power3», you can continue turning

the PowerGrip to get extra short-term performance and torque.

Pushing aid If you activate «Boost» without pedaling, the motor will support you while push-

ing the bike.

1.5 Handling

A Word on

Safety

The BIKEDRIVE is extremely powerful! It possesses an extraordinarily high

degree of dynamics that will most likely surprise you at the beginning and it will

require some time to get used to.

Take it easy to start with and use caution on your first rides!

1.5.1 PowerGrip

Selecting the

driving mode

By rotating the PowerGrip you select the driving mode and, thereby, the degree

of motorized assistance (“Driving Mode” on page 7). You select the level using

four snap-in and one non-latching positions.

Each change of the selected support level is temporarily displayed by LEDs 1…5.

Following a support level change and while riding, the LEDs will show the

remaining battery level (“Charging Level” on page 8). The system status is

continuously displayed with LED A (“Status Indicator” on page 8).

Figure 2 PowerGrip

WARNING

Risk of injury

The BIKEDRIVE it extremely powerful and highly dynamic. Lack of habituation

to the high performance, handling, or operation can lead to serious injury!

• Be aware that the BIKEDRIVE will fundamentally change the driving behavior

of your bike — particularly in respect to aspects, such as, weight, weight distri-

bution, center of gravity, braking distance, braking response!

• Use extra caution during the “acclimatization phase” and select a low degree

of motorized assistance!

• Be aware that a changed setting at the PowerGrip will have an immediate

effect on the drive system, on speed, and on handling!

1.5.3 Displays

The PowerGrip features an LED display that will inform you about the currently

selected driving mode, the charging level of the battery, and the status of the

system. A second LED display for the charging level is located at the battery.

Dimming To prevent glare, the brightness of the PowerGrip’s LED display will automati-

cally adapt to the ambient light.

Identification of the PowerGrip

During initialization of the system, the type of PowerGrip is displayed via the

LEDs.

Driving Mode

The selected support level is briefly displayed with each change. Thereafter, the

battery charge level is indicated.

The remaining relative capacity of the battery is displayed in 20% steps.

Status Indicator

The operating condition and system temperature (in color graduation) is dis-

played.

The meaning, for example, is lights up in blue, flashes in red.

1.6 Before the Ride

IMPORTANT—Power-up procedure

During power-up procedure, the BIKEDRIVE will perform a self test and initialization.

Moving the bike contrary to the driving direction during this process can lead to mal-

function. Therefore, while power-up procedure is in process,…

• do not rotate the rear wheel backwards (contrary to the driving direction),

• do not block the rear wheel,

• do not apply brakes!

1) Make sure that the battery is sufficiently charged for your planned

tour.

2) Make sure that the battery is turned off (page 6).

3) Slide battery into battery rail, let it click into place, and lock it. Remove

key.

4) Turn PowerGrip in neutral position «Zero».

5) Turn on main switch on battery.

6) After successful initialization you are good to go. Bear in mind the

safety notes on page 5!

1.7 Riding the Bike

1.7.1 Power Limitation

In order to achieve a largest possible range, the motor power will be limited in

certain support levels (Table 1).

Table 1 Power limitation (factory setting)

1.7.2 Motor Power

While riding, various system parameters are continuously monitored. As the

motor or battery temperature reaches a certain limit, the system automatically

limits the maximum output torque. You may of course continue cycling but you

must make do with reduced motorized assistance. The actual system tempera-

ture will be displayed via the PowerGrip’s multicolor LED A (“Status Indicator”

on page 8).

heated

Cause: This is no reason for concern! You are using the BIKEDRIVE for what it

is made for; motorized propulsion while pedaling.

What happens now? Just keep on going!

Depending on driving behavior, topography or usage of «Boost», heating of

motor or battery will possibly further increase and will, eventually, lead to the

status indication «System warm».

1.7.3 Battery Capacity

Among other factors, the operating range per battery charge also depends on

the following influencing factors.

How to get

the most out

of a battery

charge

• Gross weight and rolling friction: For example, additionally carried

weight, trailer, low tire pressure, grazing brakes, worn components,

headwind.

• Topography

• Ambient temperature: By principle, the battery can only deliver its

maximum capacity within given temperature limits (Table 6 on

page 38).

• Support level/start-up/acceleration/changing gears: The more you

make use of motorized assistance (thus especially at start-up, during

acceleration, and when climbing a hill), the less your distance and

operating range will be.

Use the gears as with a “normal” bike. Thereby, shift early into a lower

gear when climbing a hill.

Running

empty

You may fully discharge the battery. The internal controller ensures that the

battery does not suffer damage. However, the battery should be recharged

soon thereafter, at the latest within a week.

Shutdown The BIKEDRIVE switches off completely after approximately 15 minutes without

power output. To recommence the motorized ride, restart the BIKEDRIVE

(“Before the Ride” on page 8).

System warm

Cause: You have pushed the BIKEDRIVE to the maximal permitted

temperature of the motor or the battery.

What happens now? Just keep on going!

The motor will automatically regulate to the highest possible torque output

without exceeding the maximum permitted temperature of the motor or the

battery.

The more you relieve the motor, the sooner you can expect to return to reach

full torque. Thereby, cooling of the battery takes significantly longer than the

cooling of the motor.
