When a Pendix eDrive has been installed into your bicycle, it
becomes a Pedelec. It is recommended to only retrofit bicy-
cles that comply with the known bicycle standards, such as
DIN EN14764, DIN EN14766 or ISO4210:2014.
1. Safety notes
In these instructions you will find four 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. The symbol Torque marks sections
where a screw connection may only be tightened using a
torque wrench. The torque value given must be adhered
to. Whenever you see one of these symbols, there is a risk
that one of the hazards described may actually occur! Every
warning given is in a special box with a gray background for
emphasis.
Explanation of symbols
This symbol provides information about how
to handle the product or work with the respective
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 correspond-
ing preventive measures must always be taken
beforehand.
Torque: Important screw connection! When
tightening up a threaded connection (screws),
the exact torque must be adhered to. The correct
tightening torque is either shown on the part in
question, or you will find it in the table of (torque)
tightening values on page 24 of this installation
manual. You must use a torque wrench to obtain
the proper torque. Parts which are not correctly
tightened can break or become loose! This can
cause severe falls and accidents!
2. Introduction
This installation manual describes the installation of the
Pendix eDrive on a bicycle. It is meant for bicycle mechan-
ics, technicians and people with equivalent knowledge and
technological comprehension.

3.1 Residual risks
Observe compliance with the permissible total
weight aer installation of the Pendix eDrive in
the bicycle:
Total weight = Pedelec weight + rider weight +
load weight
This total weight must not exceed the permissi-
ble total weight originally specified by the bicycle
manufacturer.
Incorrect mounting of the drive can cause seri-
ous damage. Please check the tight fit of the mo-
tor on the bottom bracket as well as the battery
holder and battery before each ride.
Installation of the Pendix eDrive may result in
slightly increased wear of chain rings, sprockets
and chain/belt. Please observe the maintenance
intervals for checking/replacing these compo-
nents in the Pedelec manual.

6. Installation
6.1 Safety at work
Wear suitable work clothing such as gloves and solid shoes
when mounting the Pendix eDrive. Attach the bicycle frame
firmly to a suitable frame holder.
Always use suitable tools and equipment meeting good
quality standards.
If you are not sure about how to put the above
safety notes into practice, information on the
subject of safety at work is easily obtainable.
Consult for example relevant locally applicable
legal requirements, safety measure guidelines
and / or regulations, for example in the internet.
For your safety, the battery must not be con-
nected when installing the motor. Do not place
the battery in its holder until you have finished
assembly / mounting work.
Never use a high-pressure cleaner to clean your
Pendix eDrive motor components.
Warning: by doing so, water can intrude into the
system and destroy it.
6.2 Requirements for installation
Before installing the Pendix eDrive, you have to check if the
bicycle frame fulfills the requirements.
If your bicycle frame does not meet the de-
scribed prerequirements, we cannot assume any
guarantee.
Frame material
BSA bottom bracket housing with following dimensions
Diameter: 33.7 mm – 34.0 mm
Width: 68 mm or 73 mm +/- 0,2 mm
Thread: BSA 1.375“ x 24 TPI (FG34)
Check the diameter of the bottom bracket housing:
The interior diameter must measure between 33.7 mm and
34 mm.
Checking the housing width
The width of the bottom bracket housing must be either 68
mm or 73 mm. In each case with a tolerance of +/- 0.2 mm.
The bottom bracket housing should be smooth and free of
paint or coating residues. The threads must be aligned and
free of dirt.
Eccentric bottom bracket
Should there be an eccentric bottom bracket in the bike,
please take care of exchanging the eccentric bushing made
of plastic by a model made of aluminum. Plastic eccentric
bushings are not approved by Pendix.
Maximum rear structure width
Caution: in the case of fully suspended rear structures,
keep in mind that the rear structure does not turn centrally
around the bottom bracket as in most cases!
Testing the crank
Check to see that the available chain wheels fit round the
crank.
The following illustration shows the right-hand crank. It also
gives the connection dimensions for chain wheel fitting.
All commercially available chainrings with a connection di-
ameter of 104 mm can be used, single and multiple sprocket
wheels are compatible.
You can install all commercially available pedals with 9/16“ x
20 RH (FG 14.3) right hand thread.
Aer the installation of the crank, the length of the chain
line (catenary) is 49 mm, which makes it possible to use the
most common gear shiing systems. When the installation
is completed, the derailleur should be checked and if neces-
sary should be adjusted.
Please use the checklist (see section 10) and the online in-
stallation video to check the bike and the installation!
Pendix eDrive can be attached to all metal frames. If you
wish to mount a Pendix system to a frame consisting of oth-
er materials such as carbon, wood, etc. please consult our
Pendix Service Department before installation.

Checking the position of the battery holder
The holder for the battery should be attached either to the
down tube or the seat tube. Already available attachment
holes for a standard drinking bottle holder may be used for
attachment of the battery holder. An alternative mounting
option, if there are no screwed fixing points, is the Pendix
clamp mount. It is not contained in delivery scope of the
standard set, but can be ordered at Pendix with Art.no.
A1C.904.021.
Pendix suggests to use the existing holes in the
frame for the installation. The drilling of new
holes can weaken the frame: it is a decision that
must be made by the technician.
Pendix can assume no responsibility for the safe-
ty / duration of new attachments and resultant
possible frame damage.
In the case of a full suspension frame, neither bat-
tery nor battery holder may come into contact
with any other parts of the construction due to
suspension movements.
Check to see that suicient cable length is avail-
able for a correct and safe attachment of the bat-
tery holder.
6.3 Special tools required
In order to mount the components, the following special
tools are necessary and can also be ordered from Pendix.
Mounting the Pendix eDrive
Crank puller
Assembly help bottom bracket
Disassembly of already mounted components
Before you start installing the Pendix eDrive, you must re-
move the following parts from the bicycle:
• Crank on the le
• Chain guard, if available
• Crank on right (including chain wheel)
• Bottom bracket
Proceed as follows:
1. If the pedals are to be used again, you must remove
them as first step.
2. Remove the le crank arm.
3. Remove the chain guard, if present.
4. Remove the right-hand crank arm including the chain
wheel.
5. Now take out the bottom bracket.
Please also use the online installation video. Access data you
get from Pendix.
Modern bicycle technology is high tech! Working
in this field demands special training, knowledge,
experience and special tools as well!
If your frame has no thread for a bottle holder:
Please use the Pendix clamp mounts. Do not
drill holes in very light / thin-walled frames and
especially frames made of composite materials
(carbon frame)! In this case, please do not use
clamp mounts. Drilling holes in such cases can
cause broken frames, falls and severest injuries.
We strongly recommend to use a dynamometric
key for mounting the components in order to
make sure that the screws are tightened with the
specific torque.
Checking the gear hub
If you want to use a gear hub with the Pendix eDrive, please
make sure that the circuit for the torque of 65 Nm is acti-
vated. If necessary ask the dealer or the manufacturer of
the gear hub about it. If you want to reduce the maximum
torque, simply use the Pendix.bike PRO App to do so.

7. Mounting the Pendix eDrive components
When laying out cables, make sure they do not
come into contact with sharp edges, extreme
bends or corners or rotating parts.Make sure you
don’t put pressure on the cable. If the cables are
not tight or under any strain, there is a danger of
broken or torn cables or else. To avoid damage to
a cable, you should attach it in a way that it does
not come into contact with the wheel. Especially
in cases where bicycles have full suspensions,
the distance between frame and rear structure
changes constantly. Please ensure that the cable
length is enough.
When tightening screw connections, always ad-
here to the exact torque required. For this, you
must use a regulation tested torque wrench. Only
in this way, safe and correct assembly work can
be guaranteed.
7.1 Wheel speed sensor
Attach the wheel speed sensor to the le chain stay using the
supplied cable ties. If you have a 1st generation speed sen-
sor, use the supplied holder to screw the speed sensor to.
As moving part of the sensor, you must now attach the
magnet to a spoke and position it correctly facing the main
sensor.
The distance between magnet and sensor may
not exceed 13 mm.
Following this, lay out the cable along the chain stay as far
as the bottom bracket case and attach it with cable ties as
shown. At this point, the cable end will first of all be hanging
free in front of the bottom bracket case.
Please not that for a safe function of the sensor,
that it is positioned parallel to the spoke in the
point where the magnet runs through the sensor.
In case that the standard cable is too short
for your bicycle, you can order a longer cable
through an order channel that you already know.
7.2 Bottom bracket
Make sure you do not damage the cable
when mounting the electronic bottom bracket
unit. Before installing the electronic bottom
bracket, grease the ball bearings (remove pre-as-
sembled part 06 from the bearing, see next page)
the threads as well as the bottom bracket fitting
with standard bicycle grease.
Do not use grease when installing your Pendix
eDrive into a frame made of fiber materials (car-
bon frame)! Use standard carbon assembly paste
instead.
Magnetic fields destroy the electronic bottom
bracket. Please keep the battery plug of the
charging unit, the spoke-mounted magnet and
other magnetized objects away from the elec-
tronic bottom bracket at all times.

3 Installation tool
For assembly, Pendix recommends the use of
installation tool (No. 3). You can order this from
the Pendix online shop or via the ordering chan-
nel you are familiar with. We can assume no re-
sponsibility (guarantee) for damage to the Pendix
bottom bracket caused by using a dierent tool.
Please check, if the bottom bracket has a width
of 68 mm or 73 mm. In case of a bottom bracket
with 68 mm, you require on the right and le side
one spacer ring each.
1. Insert the installation tool in the bottom bracket hous-
ing from the right-hand side (in driving direction),
and push in as far as it will go.
When doing this, make sure that the tool slides
into the case without meeting any increased re-
sistance. If you notice any resistance, remove any
disturbing elements in the bottom bracket hous-
ing by filing or grinding. Make sure not to damage
the bottom bracket thread.
5. Now fasten the electronic bottom bracket on the
other side by turning in the screwed bushing (No.1 in
drawing top le).

Screw the bottom bracket on the right side with a
tightening torque of 15 Nm +/- 2 Nm.
Please pay attention to mount a standardized
chain guard, which is conform to standard DIN
EN ISO 4210-2.
Only hand-tighten the bottom bracket in this
step.
Before step 7 push the bottom bracket as far as possible in
direction of the just mounted screwed aluminium bushing.
7. As final step, use a torque wrench to tighten the
bottom bracket on the le side to a torque of 65 Nm
+/- 3 Nm.
Aer installing the electronic bottom bracket, make sure
that the sha turns freely without showing any resistance.

4.5 Nm +/- 0.5 Nm
If your frame has no thread for a bottle holder:
Please use the Pendix clamp mounts. Do not
drill holes in very light / thin-walled frames and
especially frames made of composite materials
(carbon frame)! In this case, please do not use
clamp mounts. Drilling holes in such cases can
cause broken frames, falls and severest injuries.
First screw the lower battery holder screw into
the battery holder to fix it to the bicycle frame.
Fix the accu strap with the upper battery holder
screw between the battery holder and the frame.
7.3 Battery holder
To attach the ePower battery holder to the bicycle, use the
threads for a bottle holder if present. You can freely choose
its position on the frame by eectively using the available
holes in the battery holder, but make sure that that you have
enough space below the holder so that, later on, you have
room to pull the U-bend out for the lock of the battery in the
one direction and room to remove the battery in the other
direction.
An alternative mounting option, if there are no screwed fix-
ing points, is the Pendix clamp mount. It is not contained
in delivery scope of the standard set, but can be ordered at
Pendix with Art.no. A1C.904.021.
Where a full suspension frame is present, the bat-
tery and the battery holder must at no time come
into contact with other parts of the bicycle struc-
ture. Make sure there is suicient cable length to
attach the battery holder correctly and safely (to
compensate for suspension movements).
Screw the battery holder on using the two sup-
plied M5 screws to a tightening torque of 4.5 Nm
+/- 0.5 Nm. Use a screw locking (mid-strength)
with both screws.

Grease the square shas of the bottom bracket
sha before mounting the engine and the crank.
Lay out the cables of the wheel speed sensor and of the
electronic bottom bracket in the provided ring of the bottom
bracket mounting, and position them directly beside each
other in the upper section in two of the provided grooves in
the bottom bracket mounting.
The cables should have approximately 30 mm free length. It
does not matter which cable is on the le or right side.
The motor is mounted on the le side of the frame. Position
it first of all loosely in order to find out whether the cable of
wheel speed sensor and electronic bottom bracket are posi-
tioned in the right place, so that they can be plugged into the
motor. For this the grooves of the bottom bracket mounting
in which the cables are attached must be accurately in line
with the grooves in the motor.
If this arrangement fits, the motor can be attached imme-
diately by screwing it on. If it does not fit, you must remove
the motor again and either continue turning it and placing it
back on, or lay out the cable again so that it meets up with
the correct position for it to be connected to the motor.
Then plug the eMachine on the bottom bracket sha.
Please note by putting the motor, that the cou-
pling elements meshing each other. The motor
flange on the back, where are the grooves for the
sensor cables are in, should cover the ring, where
the sensor cables are layed in.
Now you can screw the motor up with the sup-
plied crank screw and tighten it at a torque of 32
Nm +/- 2 Nm. The screw thread should already
have a thread locking for safety. If no locking is on
the thread, use a standard liquid screw locking
(medium-strength).
Hold the motor tightly in position, it is heavy!
The gearings of the torque support and the eMachine have
to gear into each other.

7.5 Cable connection
As shown in the illustration, insert the plug of the wheel
speed sensor and electronic bottom bracket into the motor
in the two fittings.
Until model year 2021
It is not important to know which plug must be used for ei-
ther of the sensors, the motor automatically recognizes each
sensor.
From model year 2022
The electronic bottom bracket and the slot on the motor
have a 5-pin connector. The speed sensor is still 3-pin. This
shows where the electronic bottom bracket and speed sen-
sor must be plugged in.
Using the supplied M4x10 Torx-screws, attach the
connector cover to the battery holder from below
and tighten to a torque of 2.4 Nm +/- 0.2 N.
Tighten the chain wheel screws to a torque of 9
Nm +/- 2 Nm.
The chain wheels and pedals are not delivered
with the Pendix system. In other words, you can
use these parts of your bicycle if their dimensions
agree with the details given in the chapter 5.2
„Requirements for installation“.
Attach the right-hand crank with assembled
chain wheels and with applied chain on the
greased square sha section. Tighten the crank
using the supplied crank screw to a torque of 32
Nm +/- 2 Nm. The screw thread should already
have a thread locking for safety. If no locking is
on the thread, use a standard liquid screw lock-
ing (medium-strength). Caution: check this crank
for correct positioning opposite the crank on the
other side.
According to length and accessibility, you can lay out the
cable along or beside the frame tube. If necessary, fix it with
cable ties. When laying out and attaching the cable, make
sure it does not come into contact with the motor, the ped-
als and rotating parts!
The cable may otherwise be damaged. If the bicycle is a full
suspension bike make sure that the cable is not crushed or
abraded during suspension motion!

35 Nm +/- 2 Nm
You have now completed assembly of the Pendix eDrive.
Please continue with Chapter 8. First ride.
Check the correct and safe function of the
gearshi before the first ride. The chain wheels
may have a slightly dierent position than be-
fore, this means a new adjustment of the gear
change function may be necessary. Only ride if
gears change without diiculty. Make sure the
crank and the chain move without contact at all
gear levels inside the chain guard.
Gear changing systems are safety-relevant com-
ponents! All mechanical and adjustment work
which is not carried out professionally by a
specialist makes riding your bicycle dangerous!
When adjustments are faulty, the chain of your
bicycle can drop o and cause accidents through
falling.
8. First ride
Aer completing installation and switching on the Pendix
system for the first time, the motor control system runs an
automatic calibration. Thus, when switching on for the first
time, the calibration mode is indicated by a blinking green
light on the LED display. To calibrate, please ride your bicy-
cle during this blinking phase for at least 300 m (about 1,000
feet). In the beginning, the drive system (motor) is not yet
supporting. Try to ride as steady as possible keeping to the
same speed. As soon as the motor has finished calibrating
successfully, the LED display shows a permanent green light
and the motor is supporting. Please ride another 1,000 m
with motor support for fine calibration.
Aer some first rides it can happen due to pro
duction process, that there occurs some oil on
the motor. This is no failure and has no interfer-
ence on the functionality of the system. Its only
excessive grease from sealing installation and
can be wiped o.
The calibration of the system is only possible by
riding. The calibration on the workstand is not
designated and will not bring positive result.
The disassembly of the Pendix eDrive takes place in reverse
sequence of the described steps.

Please use the original installation manual for mounting
the Pendix eDrive. In this mounting extension you will find
all information you need to mount the Pendix eDrive on a
folding bike.
Pendix eDrive folding bike version
The Pendix eDrive folding bike version diers in the following
points:
Motor flange: The flange on the back side of the engine be-
comes reworked mechanically so, that only one half of the
flange is existing
Bottom bracket mounting: The inner flange of this part
got removed by mechanical reworking.
Mounting hints
The numbering in this mounting addition refers to the Pen-
dix installation manual and give hints at the relevant points.
To 7.1 Wheel speed sensor
In the folding bike kit, there is a speed sensor with cable
length of 580mm included. Positioning the sensor on the
upper strut and run the cable along the strut like showed in
the following picture.
Take care of laying the cable in a way, that with folding the
rear wheel, there is no stress to it. For that, lay a small loop in
the area of the seatpost.
Please be carefully with the first try of folding for checking
the space and the needed length of the cable without dam-
aging it.
To 7.3 Battery holder
Please use the Pendix clamp mount for installing the battery
holder to the bike. The manual for clamp mount is included
in every set.
To 7.4 Drive system unit
The eMachine is mounted like described under 7.4. With that
you have to make sure, that the motor got positioned with
the existing flange on the motor above the bottom bracket.
Due to the removed flange below the bottom bracket, you
get the space for full folding functionality of the folding bike.
It will not work always to mount the flange like in the follow-
ing picture, with exact orientation to the horizontal, but most
of the flange should be positioned above the horizontal.
Please continue with the further steps of the installation un-
til the installation is finished.
