Safety Instructions
By mounting the ADEN Powerkit Go, the bike turns into a pedelec.
It is recommended that you only retrot bicycles that meet the
requirements recommended by us.
We also expressly recommend that you only ride with appropriate
protective clothing (helmet, gloves and sturdy shoes). After a fall, it
is particularly important to inspect the helmet and bike thoroughly
for possible damage. Pay particular attention to the brake
lines, the brakes and the drive.
In order to enjoy your new e-bike for as long as possible, we
recommend that you follow our operating instructions exactly and
that you carry out maintenance and service work regularly.
Due to the increased loads, the use of the Powerkit Go for
"Enduro / Downhill" use is not recommended.
Poor or incomplete maintenance can signicantly aect the
functionality of the Powerkit.
All components, made of high-quality plastic or metal, only
function properly in this combination. So don't make any changes
to it. Any unauthorised modications to the Powerkit or the battery
will invalidate the product warranty. For maintenance, care and
service, we are pleased to advise you.

POWERKIT GO — ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLY
Needed tools:
» Allen key size 2,5
» Allen key size 3
» Allen key size 4
» Side cutter
» Cable tie
» Torque wrench 1-10Nm (optional)
» Belt Ring ALIGNMENT-TOOL (optional)
Assembly
Clamp the bike in a work stand or turn it upside down. Remove
the rear wheel.
Depending on the number of spokes, the corresponding ring must
be used to be assembled.
36 spokes -> 9 clamps
32 spokes -> 8 clamps
28 spokes -> 7 clamps
Attention: The ring is always on the left side (brake disc)
assembled.
The belt ring is centered on the rear wheel and
each spoke is positioned between two holes.
First x the spoke clamp to the spokes with the 2 outer screws
(Allen key size 2.5). Tighten the screws only slightly.
Fix all spoke clamps to the spokes.
Screw in the remaining screws a little so that the clamps can no
longer jump down.
The ring must still be easy to move on the wheel in order to
center it later.
EN | P. 7ADEN GmbH www.aden-sports.com
POWERKIT GO — ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLY
Install rear wheel and belt. The belt is "temporarily" xed
anywhere on the frame.
Make sure that the wheel can be turned easily and that no
brake cable or anything else is rubbing against the belt ring.
Assembly-Note:
Make sure that the belt is not damaged when turning the rear
wheel.
A cable tie is used to nally center the belt ring attached to the
swing arm, place it on the ring and check the concentricity of the
ring.
Assembly-Note:
Alternatively, the "belt ring ALIGNMENT TOOL" was used
beforehand
The belt ring is brought into the correct position by pressing or
lightly tapping it with a blunt object. Check concentricity again
and again by turning the wheel.
Repeat the process until centering is as precise as possible.
(less than 0.5 mm is sucient)
Carefully tighten the outer screws to prevent them from slipping
to avoid the ring. Then screw in the remaining screws and tighten
the T-key with 2 ngers (max. 1.5 Nm). Check all screws again.
Assembly-Note:
Tighten the outer screws carefully to prevent the ring from
slipping.

POWERKIT GO — ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLY
To assemble the drive unit, the belt is rst placed around the
drive pinion.
Now place the belt over the belt ring.
The belt must lie completely on the teeth of the belt pulley
Then press the lower pulley lightly against the belt ring, then
tighten the screw with a size 4 Allen key (approx. 3 Nm)
Correct belt tension:
7 teeth of the belt are in full contact with the drive pinion.
Assembly-Note:
The lower belt pulley is used to adjust the belt tension.
Too much belt tension: Increased resistance when turning the
rear wheel and high levels of noise.
Belt tension too low: no power transmission -> belt jumps over.
The following assembly steps can be carried out independently of
the assembly of the belt ring on the rear wheel.
We recommend mounting the drive unit on the built-in rear wheel.
Press the roller rmly against the belt ring and then tighten the
screw with a size 4 Allen key (approx. 3 Nm)
Both surfaces of the roller must be in contact with the ring.
Assembly-Note:
By wiggling the motor, you can determine whether the roller is
properly seated or not.
EN | P. 9ADEN GmbH www.aden-sports.com
POWERKIT GO — ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLY
To do this, turn the drive unit clockwise until the motor holder rests
on the chain stay.
Now put the belt around the chain stay and insert it into the lower
slot of the motor mount.
Assembly-Note:
The Velcro should be stretched as tight as possible.
If possible, place the supplied frame protection under the motor
mount to protect the frame.
The assembly of the pedal sensor follows.
First the magnet is pressed against the pedal axle.
Assembly-Note:
Make sure that the area between the magnet and the pedal
axis is clean.
Press the 2nd magnet on the pedal axle on the right side, so
you always have a replacement with you!
To align the motor holder, turn the rear wheel two turns and then
tighten the clamping screw with a size 4 Allen key (approx. 3Nm)
Attention:
The maximum diameter for disc brakes is 20,3cm, if a larger brake
disc is used, the motor would rub against the brake disc.
The pedal sensor must be placed in such a way that the pedal
axis passes the pedal sensor in the middle when the crank is
turned.
The distance between the pedal sensor and the magnet must
be approx. 1 cm.
The pedal sensor is xed to the frame with the supplied
adhesive strip and additionally secured with an adhesive tape.
Attention:
Without a correct signal from the pedal sensor, the motor will NOT
work!
Assembly-Note:
The sensor can also be mounted on top of the chain stay.
Magnet and sensor must be kept clean in order to function
properly.
Now the motor will be attached to the chain stay using the pre-
assembled motor bracket.

Alternatively, the twist grip can also be used.
This is always mounted on the right side of the handlebar with a
Allen key size 3.
The cables are laid as in the previous point.
Then lay the motor cable with the enclosed Velcro strips along
the frame in the direction of the battery.
Attention:
While driving, make sure that the cable does not interfere in
any way, nor touch any moving parts.
This completes the assembly of the motor.
This is followed by the assembly of the "Powerpack battery"
The thumb lever will be mounted in the desired location on the
handlebars with an Allen key size 3 and laid
down along the frame towards the bottom bracket/drive unit.
Assembly-Note:
Make sure that a loop has to be laid for the steering angle as
with the other lines.

POWERPACK — ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLY
To attach the mounting plate, the threads provided for the bottle holder on the bike should be used, if
available. The position on the frame can be freely selected by using the existing holes in the mounting plate.
Make sure, however, that you have enough space at the bottom to keep the motor plug free and that there is
enough space at the top to be able to easily remove the battery.
An alternative fastening option, if there are no screw-in points, is to use the tensioning straps. These are not
included in the scope of delivery of the standard set, but can be ordered from ADEN on request.
No holes may be drilled in very light / thin-walled frames and especially frames made of composite materials
(carbon frames). In this case, the mounting plate may ONLY be attached to the frame using the additional
straps. Otherwise frame breaks, falls and serious injuries can result.
Mount the mounting plate on the frame (bottle holder thread) using
the screws provided.
Mask the frame with the protective lm provided on the contact
surfaces.
On bikes with full suspension, make sure that the damper does
not hit the battery when it is compressed.
Press the battery onto the mounting plate and make sure that it
sits correctly in the guide, then tighten the grub screw with a Allen
key size 3.
