1 Basic information
This chapter contains basic information on this operating manual and the Continental eBike System.
1.1 Reading and storing this operating manual
This operating manual accompanies the Continental eBike System (abbreviated: CeBS).
The operating manual contains important information on using and changing the set-
tings of the Continental eBike System. This operating manual is based on the standards
and regulations in force in the European Union. Read the entire operating manual care-
fully – especially the safety warnings (see Chapter “Safety warnings“ on page 10)– before using
the Continental eBike System. If the warnings in the operating manual are not observed, it can lead
to severe injury or damage to the CeBS. Store the operating manual in an easily accessible location
for future use. If you pass on the Continental eBike System to a third party, you must also pass on
the operating manual.
1.2 Intended use
The Continental eBike System is speciically intended for your eBike model. You must also observe
the additional operating manual and safety warnings from the manufacturer of your eBike. The
Continental eBike System is intended to be used with an eBike being used by one person. The
eBike may only be used in the ways the eBike’s manufacturer intended. The manufacturer does
not assume liability for damage arising from improper use. Only use the CeBS as described in this
operating manual. Any other use is considered improper and can lead to accidents, severe injuries
and damage to the CeBS. Avoid misuse (see Chapter “Safety warnings“ on page 10) and check to
make sure that the Continental eBike System is fully functional before each use. If you notice any
defects, these must be repaired by a bicycle retailer immediately. If components of the CeBS must
be replaced, only original replacement parts may be used – this is for your own safety and in order
for your eBike to retain its value. Inspections at regular intervals may reveal material fatigue. Note
the inspection intervals which you can have documented in the service history. The handover cer-
tiicate and service history can be found at the end of this operating manual (see Chapters “Handover
certiicate“ on page 57 and “Service history“ on page 58).

1.3 Warning notices
The following signal symbols and signal words are used in this operating manual to warn about
the risk of personal injury or material damages. The warning notices themselves cannot prevent
danger. Comply with all warning notices to avoid any risks while using the CeBS.
WARNING
The signal word indicates a hazard with a moderate level of risk – one that can result in death or
severe injury if not avoided.
CAUTION
The signal word indicates a hazard with a low level of risk – one that can result in a minor or mod-
erate injury if not avoided.
ATTENTION
The signal word indicates the possibility of material damage.
1.4 Symbols
The following symbols are used in this operating manual, on components of the Continental eBike
System or on the packaging.
Read and observe the operating manual.
There is additional information here.
Symbol for electrical devices which may not be disposed of with household waste or
non-recyclable waste. Electrical devices with this symbol must be disposed of at the
designated collection points.
Symbol for batteries (rechargeable or otherwise) which may not be disposed of with
household waste or non-recyclable waste . Batterie s (rechargeable or otherwise) with
this symbol must be disposed of at the designated collection points.

Continental eBike System

1.5 Mode of operation of the Continental eBike System
The Continental eBike System provides support while you ride the eBike. The motor adjusts itself
to the rider’s level of exertion. The more powerfully you pedal, the stronger the support from the
motor. This correlation is true regardless of the support level. At a speed of 25 km/h, the motor
support turns of. As soon as the speed falls under 25 km/h, the Continental eBike System will begin
to support you again as you pedal. The selected support level (see Chapter “Using the operating
panel“ on page 27) has an efect on the speed, range and wear exerted on the CeBS. The most
eicient way of riding is a pedal frequency of approximately 80 revolutions per minute. The motor
is most efective when the revolution speed is approximately this value.
1.6 Range
The range you can achieve with your Continental eBike System primarily depends on the following
factors:
–Rider exertion –Battery’s age and state of repair
–Support level –Type and characteristics of the route
–Gear-shifting behavior –Headwind
–Type of tires –Surrounding temperature
–Amount of air in the tires –Total weight (eBike + rider + luggage)
These factors lead to a very broad spectrum of ranges which can be achieved with the Continental
eBike System.
Depending on the model, ranges of 180 km are possible. This value represent an
upper limit and can only be achieved under optimum conditions. During ev-
eryday use of your eBike, the aforementioned factors – from rider exertion to
total weight of the eBike – can reduce the range.

1.7 Transport
In this chapter you will ind information on transporting the Continental eBike System as part of your
eBike and on transporting the battery. When transporting your eBike and the battery, you must also
observe the additional operating manual and safety warnings from the manufacturer of your eBike.
1.7.1 Transporting the eBike
CAUTION
Dur ing transport, the battery can be damaged by blows or impact s.
Risk of short circuits and ire!
●Before transporting the eBike, remove the battery from the battery bracket.
●Be particularly careful when transporting the battery.
• Remove the battery from the battery bracket.
• Transport the battery separately.
If you are transporting your eBike by car:
• Secure your eBike to the car with an appropriate mounted bicycle carrier.
• If you do not have the necessary expertise or tools to mount a bicycle carrier, let a bicycle
retailer mount the bicycle carrier.
If you are transporting your eBike by bus, airplane, ship or train:
• Inform the respective transport company of the conditions under which the battery must be
transported.
