3.1 Functionality & intended use
evation is designed as an electric drive system for eBikes that are used as
a means of transport by one person. From a speed of 20 mph (32 km/h),
the electric pedal support switches off, so that at speeds above 20 mph
(32 km/h) without motor support, you pedal exclusively with your own
muscle power.
The drive system as a whole is made up of different, coordinated
components.
These are:
A→the drivepack (incl. locker for locking to the frame),
B→the bottom bracket (incl. speed sensor + spoke magnet),
C→the remote,
D→the battery,
E→the charger.
