1. INTRODUCTION
The Evo control unit is the communication interface with the GO SwissDrive system.
It offers you a huge number of functions and individualisation options. The following
chapter is a short overview with the description of the basic operation of the Evo con-
trol unit. You will nd a detailed description of all functions and conguration options
of the Evo control unit in the following chapters.
2. SHORT OVERVIEW
2.1. Components of the Evo control unit
The Evo control unit consists of three components (1):
-display (1a),
-docking station (1b) and
-handlebar remote (1c)
The display is the display unit of your Evo control unit.
The system is controlled by the keys of the handlebar remote.
The docking station connects the display with the other components of the GO
SwissDrive system. In addition, the docking station has a USB port through which
data can be transferred and cell phones can be charged up to a current of 1.0 A.
2.2. Mounting the display on the docking station
Mount the display on the upper edge of the docking station (2). Subsequently slide
the display opposite to the direction of motion until it engages with an audible click in
the docking station (3).
To remove the display press down the lever on the upper edge of the docking station
and slide the display to the front until it can be removed (4).
IIf you want to mount the display permanently on the docking station,
it can be secured with a screw integrated into the docking station. To

3. Function in the stopwatch menu: Start the stopwatch by pressing the Conrm
key when the stopwatch menu is indicated. Pressing the Conrm key once again
stops the measurement. Pressing the Conrm key long saves the measurement
and resets the stopwatch. If you want to continue the measurement after a pau-
se, just press the Conrm key once again.
4. Function in the standstill menus: At standstill the Conrm key serves to con-
rm selected options or the setting of parameters. After you have navigated with
the +/–keys to the desired button, you can conrm the selection of the option or
the execution of the function with the Conrm key. Examples for this function are
the deleting of the calling list in the phone menu or the selection of a language
in the system settings.
+/–Keys (1):With the +/–keys you can adjust the assistance level of the
GO SwissDrive system during the ride.
1. Selection of the assistance level: With the +/–keys you can select between
ve positive assistance levels and two recuperation levels. By pressing the +key
you select a higher assistance level, by pressing the –key you select a lower as-
sistance level. By selecting assistance level 0 the motor assistance is turned off.
The higher the assistance level, the more assistance is provided until you have
reached the speed limit of the motor set by the manufacturer. The recuperation
(the feeding back of recovered energy into the battery and the motor brake) is
correspondingly strongest at the lowest level (–2) (2).
2. Throttle mode: Pressing the +key long in the driving mode activates the throttle
mode to the front. Within the throttle mode the motor provides assistance without
additional pedalling. This makes it easier for you to push the pedelec/e-bike up
steep ramps or if the bicycle is heavily loaded. You need to push the pedelec/e-
bike slightly by hand to make the throttle mode start. The assistance stops as
soon as you release the key.
iIf your vehicle has a throttle mode for moving backwards, this function
is activated by pressing the –key long in the driving mode. This func-
tion is analogous to the throttle mode towards the front.
IThe function of the pushing aid can only be activated up to the adjus-
ted speed limit of 0-6 km/h (pedelecs) or 0-20 km/h (speed pedelecs).
By means of the GO SwissDrive service tools your dealer can modify
the maximum speed within this range. Please note that the adjustabili-
ty depends on country-specic statutory regulations.
3. Function in the standstill menus: In the conguration menus you can navigate
with the +/–keys between the individual buttons.
By pressing the –key you navigate to the next line. If there is more than one
option in one line, you navigate from the left to the right by pressing the –key.
Analogous to that you navigate to the previous line by pressing the +key. If there
is more than one option in one line, you navigate from the right to the left by
pressing the +key.
4. Setting numerical values: There are certain parameters, such as the circumfe-
rence of tyre, which request numerical inputs. These can be entered by pressing
the +/–keys starting from a given value. The value is increased by 1 by pressing
the +key and reduced by 1 by pressing the –key (3).
Scroll key (4):With the Scroll key you can switch between the individual menus
of your Evo control unit. The series of the menus is predetermined and cannot be
changed. You can, however, disable individual menus in the settings, if necessary.
Disabled menus are skipped when you browse through.
By pressing long on the Scroll key you return from each other menu to the main menu
(except: submenu of the conguration page).

4. OVERVIEW MENU STRUCTURE
The menu structure of your Evo control unit consists of different menus which are
enabled depending on the riding situation.
For road-safety reasons the menu selection is limited during the ride to the main
menu, the tour data and the stopwatch. At standstill further menus are enabled in
which for example settings can be made or a mobile phone can be connected via
Bluetooth.
4.1. Menus in operation during the ride
In the driving mode the display of your Evo control unit is subdivided into ve sec-
tions (1):
-status bar (1a),
-display of the assistance level (1b),
-speed indicator (1c),
-menu position (1d) and
-variable section (1e) indicating the three different rinding menus.
The status bar shows various symbols giving you a quick overview of the current
state of the system. A detailed description of the individual elements is given in the
following chapter “Status bar”.
The currently selected assistance level is visualised by the graphics on the left edge
(2). By means of the +/–keys you can select between ve positive assistance levels
and two recuperation levels. By pressing the +key you select a higher assistance le-
vel, by pressing the –key you select a lower assistance level. By selecting assistance
level 0 the motor assistance is turned off.
The higher the assistance level, the more assistance is provided until you have
reached the end limit of the motor set by the manufacturer. The recuperation (the
feeding back of recovered energy into the battery and the motor brake) is correspon-
dingly strongest at the lowest level (-2).
The current speed of the pedelec/e-bike is indicated with one digit behind the deci-
mal point (3). In the settings you can choose between a display in kilometres per hour
(km/h) or in miles per hour (mph).
IThe speed is only indicated correctly if the circumference of tyre of
your pedelec/e-bike is set correctly. You can adjust the circumference
of tyre in the settings (see chapter “Congurations and settings”).
The menu position indicates the selected screen with a symbol.
In the variable section you can select between the main menu, an overview of the
data relating to the current tour and a stop watch function. You can switch between
these menus by pressing the Scroll key (4). A detailed description of these menus
including respective functions is given in the chapters “Main menu”, “Overview tour
data” and “Stopwatch”.
4.2. Menus at standstill
At standstill of the pedelec/e-bike, further menus are enabled:
-an overview of the total data,
-the phone menu,
-the service menu,

You can switch between these menus by pressing the Scroll key. A detailed descrip-
tion of the individual menus is given in the respective chapters.
In the standstill mode the display of your Evo control unit is subdivided into three sec-
tions already described in the preceding section: the status bar, the menu position
and a variable menu section, where you can select between the different standstill
menus.
AKeep in mind that during the ride the Evo control unit disables the
menus which are only available at standstill for road-safety reasons. If
one of the standstill menus is enabled when you set off, the Evo con-
trol unit switches automatically into the main menu.
5. STATUS BAR
The status bar is displayed in all menus at the top of the display. With various sym-
bols it gives you a quick overview of the current operating state of your pedelec/e-
bike. The meaning of the individual symbols is described in the following.
Time (1):The current time is displayed on the left side of the status bar. In the set-
tings you can select the 12-hour or the 24-hour mode. By selecting the 12-hour mode
AM (Ante Meridiem) or PM (Post Meridiem) is displayed in addition on the right side
of the time.
Lighting (2):If your pedelec/e-bike has a compatible lighting system, its current state
is visualised in the status bar: “On”, “Off”, “Automatic” or “Full beam”. By pressing the
Conrm key long you switch on/off the light. When switched on, you can switch bet-
ween the modes of operation by pressing the Conrm key in the main menu shortly.
Bluetooth (3):Your Evo control unit has an integrated Bluetooth chip and can be
connected via Bluetooth 4.0 with compatible devices, such as for ex. mobile phones.
Whether your mobile phone supports the Bluetooth 4.0 standard can be gathered
from the operating manual of your mobile phone. The current state of the connection
is visualised by means of the Bluetooth symbol. A blue coloured symbol means that
the Bluetooth interface of the Evo control unit is activated. If the Bluetooth symbol is
not displayed in the status bar, the Bluetooth interface is disabled.
Phone (4):If your Evo control unit is connected via Bluetooth with a mobile phone,
this is visualised with the phone symbol in the status bar. An incoming call or SMS
on the mobile phone is indicated on the display. First, you will see a pop-up appea-
ring shortly (see chapter “Pop-ups and warnings”). Subsequently, a list symbol (5) is
displayed with the phone symbol in the status bar. This symbol will remain displayed
until the phone menu of the Evo control unit has been called up (see chapter “Phone
menu”).

GO SWISSDRIVE
Service tool (1):Your well-equipped dealer has the GO SwissDrive service tool. With
this tool he can make various settings on your pedelec/e-bike. Once the display is
connected via the USB or Bluetooth interface with the service tool, this is visualised
by means of the service tool symbol.
Error (2):An error occurring in the GO SwissDrive system of your pedelec/e-bike is
indicated on the display. First, you will see a pop-up appearing shortly (see chapter
“Pop-ups and warnings”). Subsequently, the error symbol is displayed in the status bar.
Further information on the existing error and possibly necessary measures are descri-
bed in the service menu (see chapter “Service menu”). The error symbol disappears
when the service menu has been called up or when the error is no longer existing.
Temperature warning (3):The display can show early warnings to prevent possible
errors in the GO SwissDrive system at an early stage. This includes in particular the
warning concerning overheating of the motor and the battery. Before the motor or the
battery overheat and correspondingly begin to reduce their performance for system
protection reasons, you are informed on the display.
First, you will see a pop-up appearing shortly (see chapter “Pop-ups and warnings”).
Subsequently, the temperature warning symbol appears in form of a thermometer on
the status bar, as long as motor or battery exceed the temperature warning threshold.
As soon as the temperature drops below the warning threshold the symbol disap-
pears from the status bar.
AAdapt your riding style and/or the assistance level according to these
warnings to avoid a temporary reduction or even a complete loss of
the drive assistance. This is achieved by either reducing the assis-
tance level or by shifting into a lower gear with lower gear ratio in order
to reduce the temporary overload of the drive components.
Battery state of charge (4):The battery symbol on the right side of the status bar
shows the battery’s current state of charge. The symbol has 9 bars, each bar corres-
ponding to 10% of the battery capacity. A detailed description of the battery symbol in
relation to the state of charge is given in the table below.

When the motor is operated in the recuperation mode, this is visualised with a white-
coloured bar (1).
AThe charge control indicator always refers to the current capacity of
the battery. In this connection, keep in mind that the maximum char-
geable capacity of a battery may decrease with a growing number of
charging cycles.
6. MAIN MENU
The main menu provides the essential information required during the ride. This
menu is displayed by default whenever you switch on the GO SwissDrive system.
Besides the display of the assistance level and the current speed which is obliga-
tory for the riding menus indications regarding the current performance of the GO
SwissDrive system and the remaining range are shown here.
The current performance is indicated with a three-digit value in watts (W). When the
motor is operated in the recuperation mode, this is visualised with a negative perfor-
mance value. In addition, the current performance is visualised with an analogous
circular instrument (2).
AKeep in mind that the indication of the current performance is based
on battery data. Depending on the battery type used there can be a
minor time delay between the display and the actual performance.
1 2

2322
GO SWISSDRIVE
The remaining range is indicated with a three-digit value in kilometres or miles. In
addition, the remaining range is visualised with an analogous circular instrument (1).
The algorithm for the calculation of the remaining range not only considers the total
distance ridden with the pedelec/e-bike (total data), but also the last kilometres. With
an increasing total distance the algorithm therefore adapts more and more to your ri-
ding behaviour and hereby allows forecasts for the remaining range to become more
and more precise.
AKeep in mind that the indicated remaining range is only an approxi-
mate forecast. Due to the route prole, the selected assistance level
and many other factors there may be deviations between the indicated
value and the actual remaining range.
The lower section of the main menu (2) can be congured according to your own wi-
shes by selecting up to two parameters from the current tour data which will be shown
on the display. You can select between the following indications:
- the distance covered,
- the power consumption since the beginning of the tour,
- the mean speed,
- the maximum speed and
- the actual ride time.
The conguration is made in the settings. More information in this regard is given in
the chapter “Conguration and settings”.
7. OVERVIEW TOUR DATA
The second riding menu gives you a compact overview about your current tour (3).
There you will nd information
- on the distance covered (3a),
- on the power consumption since the beginning of the tour (3b),
- on the mean speed (3c),
- on the maximum speed (3d) and
- on the actual ride time (3e).
You can determine the start point of a tour on your own. In this regard the Evo control
unit offers you three different options: When the tour menu is indicated, you can reset
the tour data whenever you want by pressing the Conrm key long and then start a
new tour (4).
Furthermore, you can reset the tour manually in the settings or determine that the
tour data are automatically reset after every stop longer than four hours so that a new
tour is started when you switch on the display again. More information in this regard
is given in the chapter “Conguration and settings”.
IThe tour data are only indicated correctly if the circumference of tyre of
your pedelec/e-bike is set correctly. You can adjust the circumference
of tyre in the settings (see chapter “Congurations and settings”).

cumference of tyre in the settings (see chapter “Congurations and
settings”).
9. OVERVIEW TOTAL DATA
At standstill of your pedelec/e-bike further menus are enabled which provide useful
information and settings. The rst of these menus give you a compact overview of the
lifetime data of your pedelec/e-bike.
The menu is structured analogous to the tour menu. There you will nd information
- on the total distance covered (3a),
- on the total power consumption since the beginning of the tour (3b),
- on the mean speed (3c),
- on the maximum speed (3d) and
- on the total ride time (3e).
Unlike the tour data, the total data cannot be changed or cleared by you.
IThe total data are only indicated correctly if the circumference of tyre
of your pedelec/e-bike is set correctly. You can adjust the circumfe-
rence of tyre in the settings (see chapter “Congurations and set-
tings”).
10.PHONE MENU
Your Evo control unit offers you the option to connect a mobile phone via Bluetooth
4.0. Instructions on how to connect a mobile phone are given in the chapter “Con-
gurations and settings”. Whether your mobile phone supports the Bluetooth 4.0 stan-
dard can be gathered from the operating manual of your mobile phone.

In the event of an error of the GO SwissDrive system, the service menu (4) offers you
compact instructions to x this error.
There is a list with the latest errors occurred. Each error indicator consists of a letter
and a two-digit number. With the letter the component concerned by the error can be
identied.
- M: motor error
- D: display error
- B: battery error
- C: communication error
In case of a communication error the communication between the individual system
components is disturbed. Even if the components themselves still work trouble-free,
the system changes into the error mode for safety reasons. It often sufces to check
the cables and the connectors to remedy the communication problems.

For the display of the distances and speeds you can select between the metric
system and the imperial system. In the metric system distances are displayed in
kilometres (km) and the speeds in kilometres per hour (km/h); in the imperial system
distances are displayed in miles (m) and speeds in miles per hour (mph).
Your Evo control unit offers various menu languages between which you can select.
The possible options depend on the conguration of the manufacturer of your pedelec/
e-bike. The languages German and English are available as standard.
With the parameter “Power off after min” (1) you can set after how many minutes
without input and movement of your pedelec/e-bike you want the system to switch
off to save energy.
IMake sure the time set is not too short to avoid that the system swit-
ches off unintentionally, e.g. during a rather long stop in front of red
trafc lights. In case the system nevertheless switches off unintentio-
nally, you can enable it with the On/Off key of the handlebar remote or
with any other key at any time.
The Evo control unit has an integrated brightness sensor. This sensor adapts the
display’s backlighting automatically to the ambient brightness. You can increase or
reduce the basic brightness via the parameter “Brightness”. When the parameter is
set to 100% the automatic control is disabled and the backlighting is always at maxi-
mum regardless of the ambient brightness.
iThe automatic brightness sensor is not enabled in all variants of the
Evo display. In these variants you can set the display brightness ma-
nually in three steps.
With the parameter “Circumference of tyre” (2) you can enter the circumference
of tyre of your pedelec/e-bike into the system. The unit for the circumference of tyre
is millimetre (mm).
AKeep in mind that the circumference of tyre is the basis for many cal-
culations, such as the indicated speed, the distance you have ridden
and the remaining range. If possible, have this setting done when you
collect your pedelec/e-bike from the dealer.
If you enable the option “Clear tour after 4h autom.” (3), the tour data are deleted
after each standstill longer than four hours. The next time the display is switched on
the tour data will be reset.
In this menu, you can furthermore clear the tour data manually with the button “Clear
tour” at any time.
13.2. Date and time
In the submenu “Date and time” (4) you can set the date and the current time.
Furthermore, you can select between a time indication in the 24-hour mode or in the
12-hour mode. In the 12-hour mode the indication AM (Ante Meridiem) or PM (Post
Meridiem) is displayed in addition on the right side of the time in the status bar.
13.3. Bluetooth
Your Evo control unit has an integrated Bluetooth chip and can be connected via Blu-
etooth 4.0 with various compatible devices, such as for ex. mobile phones. Whether
your mobile phone supports the Bluetooth 4.0 standard can be gathered from the
operating manual of your mobile phone.

Store (iOS devices) or the Google Playstore (Android devices).
13.4. Options main menu
The Evo control unit offers you the option to congure the lower section of the main
menu (2) according to your own wishes by selecting up to two parameters from the
current tour data which will be shown on the display.
You can select between the following indications:
- the total distance covered,
- the total power consumption since the beginning of the tour,
- the mean speed,
- the maximum speed and
- the total ride time.
The currently active parameter is highlighted grey and checkmarked (3).
To enable another parameter navigate with the +/–keys of the handlebar remote to
the desired option and press the Conrm key. If you want to disable the currently
active parameter without selecting a new parameter, navigate with the +/–keys to the
active parameter and press the Conrm key. In this case no parameter is indicated at
the respective position in the main menu.
13.5. Screen selection
To adjust your display still more to your individual needs, the Evo control unit offers
you the option to disable individual menus completely (4). These screens are then no
longer displayed when you scroll through the menu structure.
In this way you can adjust the quantity of information displayed according to your
needs. The currently active menus are highlighted grey and checkmarked. In case
you want to change the state of a menu, navigate with the +/–keys of the handlebar
remote to the desired menu and press the Conrm key.
