Intended Use | Brose Drive Magnesium housingEN | 16
›The walk assist may only be used when
pushing the e-bike.
»If the e-bike wheels have no ground
contact when using the Walk assist,
there is a risk of injury.
›All components belonging to the Brose
Drive System as well as components
that are mounted on the drive unit (e.g.
chainring, chainring mount, pedals)
must only be replaced with approved
components.
»This protects the drive unit from damage
(e.g. due to overload).
›Do not make any changes to your Brose
Drive System. Never try to increase the
performance of your Brose Drive System.
»You otherwise reduce the life of the
components and risk damaging the
Brose Drive System and your e-bike. In
addition, any kind of manipulation of the
Brose Drive System voids all guarantee
and warranty claims for your e-bike.
Improper use of the system will also
jeopardise your own safety and that of
other road users. Unauthorised changes
to the Brose Drive System could result
in high levels of personal liability or
even the risk of prosecution in the event
of accidents due to manipulation.
›Comply with all national regulations for
the approval and use of e-bikes. These
may differ depending on which country
you are in.
›Remove the battery from the e-bike
before handling it (e.g. before assembly,

»Inadvertent activation of the Brose Drive
System may result in injury.
›Do not let the display and/or control
unit distract you.
If you do not focus solely on traffic, you
risk being involved in an accident. If you
want to make a keypad entry apart from
changing the assist mode and ride data,
stop and enter the appropriate data.
›ATTENTION: There is a risk of burns if the
motor housing is touched. Under extreme
conditions, e.g. sustained high load at low
speed when riding uphill or with a load,
temperatures >60°C can occur on some
parts of the drive.
›NOTE: Familiarise yourself with the
functions of the e-bike and its operation
before starting your first journey.

4. Operation and Control
4.1.Before First Use
The Brose Drive System can only be activated
if the following prerequisites are met:
Inserting and removing the battery
To insert the e-bike battery into the e-bike and
to remove it, read and observe the operating
instructions for the battery.
Check the speed sensor (Fig. C/D)
Please first check which speed measuring
system your e-bike is equipped with.
NOTE: If the distance between the speed
sensor and the magnet is too small or too
large, or if the speed sensor is not connected
correctly, the tachometer display will fail and
the e-bike drive will run in the emergency
mode.
Depending on the system installed, you should
loosen the spoke magnet screw in this case
and attach the spoke magnet to the spoke so
that it passes the speed sensor at the correct
distance.
Check whether the sensor is correctly
connected.
If still no speed appears on the display, please
contact an authorised bicycle dealer
NOTE: Check all fixing screws regularly.
Shocks, heat and cold can cause screws
to become loose. Tighten all screws to the
required torque or contact an authorised
dealer.
NOTE: A full function is only possible if the
speed sensor and all cables have been
connected correctly and the battery is charged
up enough.
4.2.Operating your Brose Drive
Systems
Please refer to the operating instructions for
the control unit installed in your e-bike for
details on the exact operation of your e-bike
with Brose Drive.

Ride Advice and Tips | Brose Drive Magnesium housingEN | 20
5. Ride Advice and Tips
When does the Brose Drive unit operate?
The Brose Drive System gives the cyclist
motor-powered assistance in a « PEDal
ELEctric Cycle/ Electrically Power Assisted
Cycles (EPAC)».
The assistance depends on the force applied
to the pedals by the cyclist. Assistance by the
e-bike drive is therefore given only when the
cyclist pedalling. This applies regardless of the
level of assistance.
The e-bike drive shuts off automatically at
speeds over 25 km/h. If the speed drops below
25 km/h, assistance automatically resumes.
An exception applies to the push aid function,
in which the e-bike can be pushed more
comfortably without pedalling at low speed.
The pedals can rotate when using the push
aid. You can ride the e-bike at any time
without assistance like a normal bike, either
by switching the Brose Drive System off or by
switching the assistance level to the «OFF»
mode (refer to the control unit instructions).
The same applies to a drained battery.
Familiarisation
Take some time to get used to the Brose Drive
System before you use it in normal road traffic.
Test the different levels of assistance until you
feel confident in using the product. Before
long rides, gather experience of how various
parameters and environmental conditions
affect the range of your e-bike.
Factors that influence the range
The range is influenced by many different
factors, such as:
›Assistance level
›Gear response
›Type of tyres
›Belt or chain drive
›Tyre pressure
›Age, condition and charge of the battery
›Route profile (gradients) and route
characteristics (road surface)
›Weather conditions (e.g. ambient
temperature etc.)
›Weight of your e-bike
›Weight of rider and load
Therefore, it is not possible to accurately
predict the range before starting a journey and
during a journey.
However, in general (with the same level of
assistance by the e-bike drive):
›The higher the support level (under the
same conditions), the lower the range.
Motor tuning
The Brose Drive System supports various motor
tuning options. These are individually adapted
together with your bicycle manufacturer for
each bicycle model. Detailed information on
motor tuning for your e-bike is available from
your bicycle manufacturer and your bicycle
dealer.
Careful handling of the Brose Drive System
Observe the operating and storage
temperatures of the e-bike components (see
section 3.4.). Protect the drive unit, display unit
and battery from extreme temperatures (e.g.
from intense sunlight without simultaneous
ventilation). The components (especially
the battery) can be damaged by extreme
temperatures.
