Congratulations on your new electric bicycle!
Your electric bicycle is a bike with electric pedal assistance.
This means that you can pedal it as a normal bike, or that the bike can assist you in your pedaling.
The electric bicycle will assist you when you are pedaling. The amount of assistance depends on
the force you exert on the pedals.
RIDE+ bicycles come in two classes: Pedelecs and Fast Electric Bikes.
•Pedelecsassistuptoaspeedof25km/h.Thisclassislegallyconsideredabicycle,
•FastElectricBikesassistathigherspeeds.Thisclassislegallyconsideredalightweightmoped.
This manual covers the following bikes, both pedelecs and fast class
•Derailleur/RollerBrakes,
•Derailleur/Rim(Magura,V-brakes)ordiscbrakes,
•Internalgearhub/RollerBrakes,
•Internalgearhub/Rim(Magura,V-brakes)ordiscbrakes.
Theelectricbicyclediffersonlyslightlyfromanon-electricbike.
The following parts are specific to an electric bicycle
•Thebatterypackintherearrackoronthedowntube,
•Themotorintherear-orfrontwheelhub,
•Thecontrolleronthehandlebarsorontheclampinfrontofthehandlebars.

day).Topreventlossofridinginformation,pleasemakesure
that the system is switched Off before the controller is
removed from the bike.
• Using the remote
Some bikes have the controller positioned on a middle clamp, which means that
the controller can more easily be operated with a remote. This device can be used
to select a higher or lower assist or regeneration level without removing your hands
off the handlebars. The red throttle button on the BionX remote is a convenient
helptomovethebikewithoutpedaling(upto4km/h)walkingnexttotheE-bike.

2.2 Assistance/Regeneration
ThesystemswiththeBionX‘G2’controller,‘RIDE+Pro’controller,‘RIDE+EasyI’controllerand
‘RIDE+ Easy II’ controller have four levels of assistance. When the system is set to assistance,
the electric motor drives the rear wheel and assists you in your pedaling.
Additionally,thesystemswiththeBionX‘G2’controller,the‘RIDE+Pro’controllerandtheEasyII
controller have four levels of regeneration. The systems with the ‘RIDE+ Easy I’ controller do not
have regenerating by default. On systems with this controller, regenerating can be activated by the
dealer. When the system is set to regeneration, the electric motor is used as a dynamo and
generates electricity for charging the battery pack. Going downhill, you can reduce your speed by
regulating the amount level of regeneration as the created resistance acts as a motor brake.
Though, that generation mode is not a substitute for using brakes to control speed or stop.
The tables below give an indication of the effort that is compensated in the different assistance and
regeneration levels. The real percentages of compensated effort depend on the software settings of
the bike.

3. 40 km/h ‘Fast Electric Bike’*
The’40km/hfastelectricbike’isanelectricbicycleofwhichtheassistancedoesnotstopat
25km/hbutat40km/h.Thishigherassistspeedmakesittheperfectelectricbicycleforpeople
wholikeridingfasterthan25km/h.Note,though,thattheactualmaximumspeedthatyoucan
reach depends first and foremost on how strongly you pedal.
*Note: ‘Fast’ E-bicycles are only available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
3.1 Legal rules
Legally,the40km/hfastelectricbikeisnolongerconsideredbeinga‘bicycle’buta‘lightweight
moped’. It has type approval as such.
NOTE. For these bicycles third party insurance is mandatory.
In most countries, wearing a helmet is not mandatory. However, we strongly recommend to always
wear a helmet for your own safety.
Since40km/helectricbicyclesarelegallyconsideredtobelightweightmopeds,theydohave
athrottle,whichallowsridingthemupto20km/husingmotorpoweronly.Thismeans,thatup
to20km/hyourbikecanbeusedasanE-Bike,ratherthanasaPedelec.Abovethatspeed,
themotorwillassistpedalinguptoaspeedof40km/h.
Important. The maximum power of the motor on your bicycle is limited to 250 W.
Your 40 km/h electric bicycle is still a bicycle. It is therefore not recommended that you use it as a
moped or an E-bike without pedaling. Using battery power only will strongly limit your range.
3.2 Dierences in equipment
Thetechnicalequipmentofthese40km/hbikesisalmostidenticaltothatonPedelecs.
Thefollowingpartsareadditionaland/ordifferent:
•Rearviewmirror,
•Insuranceplateholder,
•Throttleonthecontroller,
•Extrareflectors,
•Slightlydifferentbrakelevers,
•Type-approvalplateontheframe.
Important: These are all part of the type approval. It is not allowed to remove or exchange them
for other (non-certified) equipment. This also applies to the handlebars, tires, seat post,
headlight, rear light, brakes, kickstand and controller.
3.3 Instructions for use
RidingisthesameasthePedelecbikes,exceptthattheassistancedoesnotstopat25km/h
butat40km/h.
Ride carefully. Other road users may not expect a bicycle to go this fast.
Maximum range on one battery charge depends very much on your style of use. Due to the higher
speed that can be reached, be prepared to find the range slightly shorter than on regular Pedelec
bikes that have a maximum assistance speed of 25 km/h.

Thefunctionalityofthebuttonscanbeswappedright-to-left.
The code to access this is 2009.Moreinformationabout
programming via the controller can be found later in this
manual.
• Assistance
When the motor provides power, the bicycle is in assistance
mode. There are four levels of assistance. The level of
assistance is shown by the bar graph on the right, below the
digits for speed. The narrow graph on the display shows the

assistance.Forlessassistancepressbutton‘-’.Whenthereisnoassistancelevelshownandthe
bicycle icon is visible on the screen, there is no assistance. Pedaling is then the same as on a normal
bicycle. To switch from any level of regeneration to the first assist level, press and hold the ‘+‘ button.
Notice. It is strongly advised to ride away in a straight line when an assistance level is selected.
Never select assistance level 3 or 4 during maneuvering or riding away in a tight corner. The powerful
reaction of motor might take you unawares.
• Regeneration
When the bicycle generates electricity for the battery, the system is in generation mode. The motor
then works as a dynamo. There are four levels of regeneration. The level of assistance is shown by
