Inserting and Removing the eBike Battery
For inserting and removing the eBike battery in/from the
eBike, please read and observe the operating instructions
for the eBike battery.
Fitting and removing the on-board computer
(see figure A)
To fit the on-board computer (3), slide it forwards into the
holder (4).
To remove the on-board computer (3), press the locking
mechanism (14) and slide the on-board computer forwards
out of the holder (4).
Remove the on-board computer when you park the
u
eBike.
The on-board computer can be secured in place to prevent it
from being removed from the holder. To do so, remove the
holder (4) from the handlebars. Put the on-board computer
in the holder. Screw the locking screw (15) (M3 thread,
8 mm long) from below into the thread provided in the
holder. Mount the holder back onto the handlebars.
Please note: The locking screw is not designed to prevent
theft.
Operation
Prerequisites
The eBike can only be switched on when the following re-
quirements are met:
– A sufficiently charged eBike battery is inserted (see oper-
ating instructions for the eBike battery).
– The on-board computer is properly inserted in the
holder (see "Fitting and removing the on-board computer
(see figure A)", page English – 2).
– The speed sensor is connected properly (see operating
instructions for the drive unit).
Switching the eBike On and Off
The following options are available for switching on the
eBike:
– If the on-board computer is already switched on when you
insert it into the holder, the eBike will be activated auto-
matically.
– Once the on-board computer and the eBike battery are
fitted, briefly press the on/off button on the on-board
computer.
– With the on-board computer inserted, push the on/off
button on the eBike battery (bicycle manufacturer-spe-
cific solutions are possible when there is no access to the
eBike battery on/off button; see the eBike battery operat-
ing instructions).

The drive is activated as soon as you start pedalling (except
if you are using the walk assistance function or if the assist-
ance level is set to OFF). The drive power varies depending
on the assistance level set.
As soon as you stop pedalling when in normal operation, or
as soon as you have reached a speed of 25/45 km/h, the
drive switches off the assistance. The drive is automatically
reactivated as soon you start pedalling again and the speed
is below 25/45 km/h.
The following options are available for switching off the
eBike:
– Press the on/off button of the on-board computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button (bi-
cycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possible when
there is no access to the eBike battery on/off button; see
the bicycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer from its holder.
If no power is drawn from the drive for about 10 minutes
(e.g. because the eBike is not moving) and no button is
pressed on the on-board computer or the operating unit of
the eBike, the eBike will switch off automatically.
eShift (optional)
eShift is the integration of electronic gear-shifting systems
into the eBike. The eShift components are electrically con-
nected to the drive unit by the manufacturer. The separate
operating instructions describe how to operate the elec-
tronic gear-shifting systems.
Energy supply of the on-board computer
If the on-board computer is in the holder (4), a sufficiently
charged eBike battery is inserted into the eBike and the
eBike system is switched on, then the on-board computer
battery is powered by the eBike battery.
If the on-board computer is removed from the holder (4),
the energy is supplied via an internal battery of the on-board
computer. If the internal battery of the on-board computer is
weak when the on-board computer is switched on, <Attach
to bike> will appear on the text indicator (d) for 3 seconds.
The on-board computer will then turn off again.
To charge the internal battery of the on-board computer, put
the on-board computer back in the holder (4) (when an
eBike battery is inserted in the eBike). Switch the eBike bat-
tery on by its on/off button (see operating instructions for
the eBike battery).
You can also charge the on-board computer via the USB
port. To do this, open the protective cap (8). Connect the
USB port (7) of the on-board computer via a suitable USB
cable to a standard USB charger or the USB port of a com-
puter (5 V charging voltage, max. 500 mA charging current).
<USB connected> will appear on the text indicator (d) of
the on-board computer.
