CeBS Continental eBike System

"pedelecs" and other types
of cycle with electrical
power assistance.
2.2 Applicable documents
This document is part of the CeBS user manual
and is based on the directives and regulations
valid within the European Union. The complete
CeBS user manual comprises all the documents
relating to the individual CeBS components incor-
porated into your eBike. Refer to the accompany
data sheet from the eBike manufacturer for infor-
mation on the component combination based on
the relevant configuration of the CeBS installed in
your eBike.
2.3 Reading and storing
the user manual
Before using the eBike and installed CeBS, care-
fully read through all the documents in the user
manual, in particular the safety instructions.
Failure to observe the instructions in the user
manual can lead to serious injuries or damage to
the CeBS.
Keep the user manual close at hand for future
reference. Should you ever pass the eBike and
installed CeBS to a third party, always hand over
the complete user manual (incl. all associated
documents) as well.
In addition to the CeBS user manual, always read
and observe the user manual accompanying
your eBike and any add-on parts.
2.4 Intended use
The CeBS is designed as a drive system for
eBikes. The drive provides the rider with pedal-
ling assistance up to a statutory maximum riding
speed. The motor support is adapted to the effort
exerted by the rider depending on the support
level selected. The preset support level affects
the range and wear of the CeBS. The speed is
calculated based on the wheel speed and tyre
circumference. The tyre size, circumference and
height are therefore important influential factors.
Tyre pressure and wear also have an influence on
the resulting speed.
Your local cycle dealer will be able to readjust
the wheel circumference to a certain extent to
compensate for tolerances.
The CeBS comprises several components (
see
"1.1 Overview"
), one of which is the "Remote"
described in this document. The remote is
designed to operate the CeBS.
The combination of CeBS components installed
on your eBike has been adapted specially to your
eBike and these components may only be used
in the original combination.
Always observe the manufacturer’s instructions
on intended use of the eBike (e.g. use on certain
types of terrain or similar).
In order to avoid hazards, do not misuse the
remote or eBike to which the remote is fitted in
any of the ways described below:
• Use of the eBike to take part in competitions
and perform jumps, stunts or tricks.
• Incorrectly performed repairs and/or mainte-
nance as well as manipulating the remote or
the eBike fitted with the remote (e.g. tuning).
• Opening and modifying the remote.
• Neither the component combination nor the
remote may be modified.
WARNING!
Any foreseeable misuse, in particular
resulting from tuning, will forfeit the CE
mark of the eBike (EPAC up to 25km/h) – with all
the legal implications. Tuning includes any unau-
thorised modifications made to the CeBS or eBike
that manipulate the performance in any way. Any
accidents that can be attributed to technical
manipulation may be subject to high personal
liability costs and criminal prosecution.
