In these instructions you will find three dierent symbols
– the symbol Note provides important information about
your new motor and how to use it, the symbol Caution
draws your attention to possible damage and/ or environ-
mental hazards, the symbol Danger warns you against
possible accidents and severe damage, including possible
injuries to your person. Whenever you see one of these sym-
bols, there is a risk that one of the hazards described may
actually occur if instructions are not followed! The notes are
as follows:
Explanation of symbols
1. General Safety Notes
Note: This symbol provides information about
how to handle the product or work with the re-
spective section in the system manual, which
must first be read through.
Caution: This symbol warns you against making
mistakes which can result in damage to material
or create an environmental hazard.
Danger: This symbol stands for a possible dan-
ger to your life and/or health, if relevant instruc-
tions are ignored or not correctly followed. It also
draws your attention to the fact that correspon-
ding preventive measures must always be taken
beforehand.
Keep this system manual in a safe and acces-
sible place, so that you can always refer to them
for further information or to answer questions.
Pass this manual on to any other person needing
them.
Caution! With a Pedelec you are much faster than
on a normal bicycle without electric support.
Most other people on the road (drivers, cyclists,
pedestrians) will not realize this, and underesti-
mate your speed or performance. For your own
safety, always wear a helmet!
Always activate the brakes of your Pedelec before
putting your foot down on a pedal! The motor
causes you to move forward the moment you
move a pedal. This impulse (forward push) is un-
expected at first and can produce falls, unwelco-
me reactions or accidents on the road and result
in injuries.
Do not allow children to use the Pedelec unat-
tended and without proper previous instruction!
Make them acquainted with the possible dangers
when handling electric equipment.
The Pendix drive system (motor) is not designed
or allowed for use in explosion hazard areas.
Always keep both hands on the handlebar when
riding. Never ride hands free! Do not change the
setting on the motor (support level) while on the
move.
Before starting your journey, you must check the follo-
wing important parts of your Pedelec system - in addition
to the items to be checked in the general instructions for
bicycles:
• Make sure the battery is firmly attached.
• Check the charging level of the battery: always make sure
you have suicient energy for your planned journey.
Before starting your journey, you must check all
screws, quick release parts and important com-
ponents for safe and correct placement. Remem-
ber to carry out these checks, even if you have
only le your Pedelec unattended for a short
moment!
Dear Customer, Congratulations! By having attached the
Pendix to your bicycle, your riding is now supported by an
electric motor (drive system). Your bicycle is now an EPAC
(Electrically Power Assisted Cycle), also called Pedelec. Pe-
delec stands for Pedal Electric Cycle and means that the
motor only supports you while you are turning the ped¬als.
In this case, the power of the motor depends on the pedaling
power applied and on the selected motor setting (assistance
type). The greater the power you apply, the greater the sup-
port provided by the motor and the higher the level of sup-
port selected, the greater the power provided by the motor.
2. Introduction
The connectors on battery, motor and charger
are magnetic. Magnets can impact the function
of pace makers and implantable cardioverterde-
fibrillators (e.g. actuation of reed switch). Keep a
minimum distance of 0,2 m (20 cm) between the
magnetic connector and the implanted devices
to prevent malfunction and danger to health.

Because of the higher loads the application of
Pendix in downhill-, freeride-, BMX-cycles, dirtbi-
kes and further related types as well as operation
in competition is prohibited. The usage in static
conditions (dyno, home gym) is also prohibited.
Using clipless pedals in combination with Pendix
is prohibited.
Before installing the Pendix system, check to see
whether your bicycle is suitable for it. In particu-
lar, there must be suicient stability provided for.
Consult your bicycle specialist for advice when in
doubt.
For the bicycle with an installed Pendix to be le-
gally accepted, the requirements of DIN EN ISO
4210:2014 (Safety Requirements for Bicycles) and
DIN 15194 (electrically power-assisted cycles
[EPAC]) as well as the requirements of 2006/42/
EU (European Union Directive on Machinery and
Certain Parts of Machinery) must be met. [DIN =
Deutsches Institut für Normung (German Stan-
dards Institute), EN = European Norm, ISO = Inter-
national Organization for Standardization]
The Pendix is not designed for installation and
eective use in bicycles for children and juveniles
up to the age of 14 years!
Before riding o, carefully read through the ope-
rating instructions for your Pendix drive system
(motor) and the operating instructions for the
general bicycle technical part. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for damage caused by
not adhering to instructions. Your Pedelec may
only be used in accordance with proper instruc-
tions. This is described in the technical part of the
bicycle instructions. Any other active use may re-
sult in a technical breakdown or defect, causing
accident and injury! Responsibility for possibly
defective parts at purchase and all guarantee
conditions become invalid if the Pedelec/Pendix
system is improperly used.
The electric parts of your Pedelec combine to
form a high-power system. Remove the battery
immediately when you see damage to the elec-
tric system or particularly if, aer a fall or acci-
dent, electric cables or parts are exposed. Always
refer to a specialist/bicycle technician for repairs,
The prescribed operating temperature is between -10° C and
+50° C (14° F – 122° F). The limit temperatures for storage of
the system are between -20° C and +60° C (-4° F – 140° F).
Carry out the steps described in these instruc-
tions only. No other or dierent changes to the
system may be performed. In addition: Do not
dismantle or open structural units!
Only replace parts that have become defective
or worn down, for example battery, charging
unit or sensors, by using original spare parts or
replacements either made by the manufacturer
or expressly allowed by the manufacturer. Note:
the manufacturer’s responsibility and/or guaran-
tee lose their validity when non-contract parts
are used. If such parts are used, a loss of function
may result! In cases of defect or wear and tear,
always refer to a specialist/bicycle technician to
carry out the necessary repairs or replacement
using original parts or components only.
2.1 Field of application
If the speed of the Pedelec is above 25 km/h (*), the motor
support automatically stops. When the speed drops again to
below 25 km/h (*), the motor support is automatically reac-
tivated. As the motor has a permanent nominal performan-
ce of 250 W and supports you up to a speed of 25 km/h (*),
your Pendix-equipped bicycle still correctly belongs to the
bicycle category. For this reason the same regulations apply
(in Germany the StVZO [Straßenverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ord-
nung, accident prevention regulations] and STVO [Straßen-
verkehrs-Ordnung, national road traic regulations]) for
your Pedelec as for a normal bicycle. Therefore: adhere to
the traic rules and to the national legal regulations. (*) or
15½ mph.
This part of the system manual gives you specific informati-
on on how to handle the structural components of the elec-
tric motor of your Pendix drive system and on riding with a
Pedelec. General information, for example on bicycle tech-
nology, can be found in the instructions included.
The Pendix system is provided for the following bicycle
types:
City- / Trekking- / Touringbikes, Mountainbikes (Race/
Cross-Country), road bike, folding bike, recumbent bicycles
and further related types.
but also whenever you have a question or pro-
blem. A lack of expertise can result in accidents
and/or severe injuries! If you have discovered a
defect, please proceed as described in Chapter 7
„Default Measures“.
BEFORE carrying out any kind of work on your Pe-
delec, switch o the electric system and remove
the battery.
Do not clean your Pedelec with a steam jet,
high-pressure cleaner or water hose. If you do so,
water can enter electric parts or the motor and
destroy the equipment.
If the motor is not correctly operated and the battery, char-
ging unit and motor are interfered with in any way, this can
result in danger to health and material, even accidents. In
this case, Pendix assumes no guarantee for damage caused.
