Legal Regulations

4maxon BIKEDRIVE | User Manual | rel6003

1.2 Legal Regulations

Legislation

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, compulsory insur-

ance, driving license, required equipment, etc.

1.3 Functional Principle

From a

standing

start in

action!

Additional power determined by the selected level from the BIKEDRIVE starts

as soon as you start pedaling. Upon reaching the maximum limited speed

(depending on your PowerGrip model), the motor automatically turns off.

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

standstill, the motor can act as a 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.

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

the PowerGrip to get extra performance and a torque of up to 50 Nm.

Pushing aid If you activate «Boost» at standstill, the motor will support you while pushing

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! Once you are set-

tled, you will experience the BIKEDRIVE to be total fun bearing a certain “addic-

tive potential”! ;-)

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 Indicator” on page 7). 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

drive. 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.

Driving Mode

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

battery charge level is indicated.

Charging Indicator

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

Zero

Neutral position — motorized assistance is turned off.

The PowerGrip engages in this position.

Power1 Turning towards you from the neutral position «Zero»

switches consecutively into levels «Power1», «Power2»,

and «Power3».

Turning away from you switches consecutively one level

back.

The PowerGrip engages in the selected position.

Power2

Power3

Boost

Turning towards you from the level «Power3» switches

to level «Boost».

The PowerGrip does not engage in this position and

bounces back to level «Power3» when released.

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

played.

The meaning, for example, is lights blue, flashes 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 reaching the operation status «System ready» you are good to

go. Bear in mind the safety notes on page 5!

1.7 Riding the Bike

1.7.1 Drive Performance

Figure 5 Slope vs. Weight/Support Level

The example in above graph reveals the following: A biker (weight 80 kg) with a

20 kg heavy 27½ inch bike can climb a 9% slope using support level «Power3»

without extra effort, just as on level terrain without any motorized assistance.

1.7.2 Motor Power

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

motor temperature reaches a certain limit, the motor automatically limits the

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

make do with reduced motorized assistance. The actual motor temperature will

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

page 8).

Motor warm 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 the

motor will possibly further increase and will, eventually, lead to the status indi-

cation «Motor hot».

Operation

Riding the Bike

10 maxon BIKEDRIVE | User Manual | rel6003

Motor hot Cause: You have pushed the BIKEDRIVE to the maximal permitted motor tem-

perature.

What happens now? Just keep on going!

The motor will automatically regulate to the highest possible torque output

without exceeding the maximum permitted motor temperature.

You can continue to use all support levels and you will be assisted by the motor

whereby, depending on the load, full torque will temporarily not be available in

«Boost» mode. The more you relieve the motor thus permitting it to cool down,

the sooner you can expect «Boost» and to return to reach full torque.

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 4 on

page 27).

• 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.

Shutdown The BIKEDRIVE switches off completely after approximately 30 minutes without

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

(“Before the Ride” on page 8).
