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.
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 the symbols
1. General Safety Notes
Note: This symbol provides information
about how to handle the product or work
with the respective section in the system ma-
nual, 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
accessible place, so that you can always
refer to them for further information or to answer
questions. Pass this manual on to any other per-
son 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 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 fol-
lowing important parts of your Pedelec system - in addi-
tion 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!
2. Introduction
Dear Customer, Congratulations! By having attached the
Pendix eDrive 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.
Pedelec stands for Pedal Electric Cycle which means that the
motor only supports you while you are turning the pedals. 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.
If the speed of the Pedelec is above 25 km/h, the motor

Due to the higher loads the application of the
Pendix eDrive in downhill-, freeride-, BMX-cycles,
dirtbikes and further related types as well as
operation in competition is prohibited. The usa-
ge in static conditions (dyno, home gym) is also
prohibited.
Using clipless pedals in combination
with Pendix eDrive is prohibited.
Before installing the Pendix eDrive, 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 eDrive to
be legally 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 eDrive is not designed for installation
and eective use in bicycles for children and ju-
veniles up to the age of 14 years!
Before riding o, carefully read through the ope-
rating instructions for your Pendix eDrive (motor)
and the operating instructions for the general
bicycle technical part. The manufacturer assu-
mes no responsibility for damage caused by not
adhering to instructions. Your Pedelec may only
be used in accordance with proper instructions.
This is described in the technical part of the bicy-
cle instructions. Any other active use may result
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
eDrive 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,
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 changes on your
Pedelec, switch o the electric system and remo-
ve 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.
Carry out the steps described in these
instructions only. No other or dierent changes
to the Pendix eDrive may be performed. In addi-
tion: 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.
support automatically stops. When the speed drops again
to below 25 km/h, the motor support is automatically reacti-
vated. As the motor has a permanent nominal performance
of 250 W and supports you up to a speed of 25 km/h, your
Pendix-equipped bicycle still counts as a bicycle. For this
reason the same regulations apply (in Germany the StVZO
[Straßenverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ordnung, accident prevention
regulations] and STVO [Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung, national
road traic regulations]) for your Pedelec as for a normal
bicycle. Therefore: adhere to the traic rules and to the na-
tional legal regulations or 15½ mph. This part of the system
manual gives you specific information on how to handle the
structural components of the electric motor of your Pendix
drive and on riding with a Pedelec. General information, for
example on bicycle technology, can be found in the instruc-
tions included.
3. Electronical and
electric parts: Notes
The Pendix eDrive is provided for the following bicycle ty-
pes: City- / Trekking- / Touringbikes, Mountainbikes (Race/
Cross-Country), road bike, folding bike, recumbent bicycles
and further related types.

The Pendix eDrive is an eicient, high-power direct drive sys-
tem, working without gears or freewheeling. Its control is al-
ready integrated in its smart design. The Pendix eMachine is
located on the le side of the bicycle directly on the supplied
electronic bottom bracket, which identifies the force exerted
through pedaling. The motor then supports you correspon-
ding to the setting/mode you have selected.
Safety notes
Please note: aer extended tours with your bicyc-
le at a high support level, the temperature on the
rear side of the motor can become hot.
Should you want to conduct any work in region
of the motor, either let it cool down first or make
sure you wear suitable protective gloves.
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 activated. 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.
LED display
ON/OFF button
The ePower (battery) is the power pack and central control
unit of the Pendix eDrive. It supplies the necessary energy
for the drive system of the bicycle. At the same time, the ON/
OFF button, as well as the LED display for the charging level
are also integrated in this single unit.
Using the rotary switch of the ePower300 and ePower500 it
is possible to choose between three assistance levels. The
ePower150 has only one level of assistance which is the
SMART mode.
On delivery, the battery is partly charged. In order to obtain
the energy for the entire distance of a journey with your Pe-
delec, you must charge the battery to its maximum level. You
can operate the battery between temperatures of -10° C and
+50° C (14° F – 122° F). You cannot exploit the full capacity of
the battery at low temperatures.
Safety notes
• Do not drop or throw the battery! Avoid any
kind of impact! In such cases, liquid may esca-
pe, causing fire or explosion.
• Do not use force when working with the bat-
tery! If the battery is deformed in any way,
the integrated protective mechanism can be
damaged. Here again, fire or explosion may
result.
• Do not use the battery if it is damaged. The li-
quid inside it may escape, causing damage to
the eyes and even blindness!
Remove the battery from the Pedelec if you wish
to transport it, for example by car.
• Also remove the battery whenever you want to
carry out any kind of work on the Pedelec, for
example maintenance or assembly. Caution:
there is a hazard of injury if you activate the
ON/OFF button inadvertently.
• Never open the battery. This can cause a short
circuit. Note: all and any guarantee claims be-
come invalid if the battery is opened.
• Never store or tranport (carry) the battery to-
gether with metal objects capable of causing a
short circuit: such objects can be, for example,
paper clips, nails, screws, keys or coins. A short
circuit can cause a fire or burns.
• Keep the battery away from heat, for example
1. intense sunshine, which can lead to the
battery being switched o (self protection
over 60 °C) and
2. fire, there is a danger of explosion.

• Protect your battery against water and other
liquids. Contact may cause damage to the pro-
tective circuit and the protective mechanism of
the battery. This can result in fire or explosion.
• Do not use high-pressure equipment to clean
your battery. To clean, use a damp cloth. Do
not use aggressive cleaning agents.
• Incorrect handling of the battery may cause
liquid to escape. This liquid can cause irritati-
on and burns on the skin. If you do come into
contact with the battery liquid,
• wash the aected area with plenty of water.
If it comes into contact with your eyes, find a
doctor or medical expert immediately for help.
• If you have handled the battery incorrectly eit-
her on purpose or by accident, so that gases/
vapors escape from it, get access to fresh air
and find a doctor or medical expert immedia-
tely if you have been aected.
• Before undertaking a journey, the battery must
be fully attached in its holder. Otherwise, there
is a danger that it may fall out while you are
riding.
• Prevent a total discharge of the battery at all
costs. Otherwise, irreversible damage to the
battery cells results.
• This battery is designed only for use with Pen-
dix electric bicycle motors. Improper use or
incorrect handling can cause fires or injuries.
Pendix assumes no guarantee or responsibility
of any kind for damage resulting from impro-
per use or treatment.
• Caution: magnetic fields around the battery
plug/holder also influence medical equipment
such as for example heart pacemakers. Always
consult a doctor or medically qualified person
on this subject if in doubt.
ePower aging and attrition
The battery is subject to wear (attrition). With increasing age
and use, it will lose in capacity and the corresponding maxi-
mum distance is reduced. The capacity loss is approximately
10 % per year. This is not a defect, but normal wear. From a
technical point of view, the battery is considered to be worn
out when 60 % of its capacity is reached.
You can continue to use it as before, though you should now
reckon with a lower capacity and a reduction in distance.
There are four charging models available: 60 W/120 W/160
W/200 W. The delivery of the charging unit 120 W/200 W in-
cludes the power station. You can use the charging unit with
or without the power station. To use the power station, sim-
ply insert the plug of the charging unit into the power station
from below. If you do not want to use the power station, you
can only charge the battery in a flat position, as the plug is
fitted into the battery from underneath.
• Use the charging unit for the corresponding
battery only. The battery charge voltage must
be the same as that of the charging unit. Other-
wise, a fire or an explosion may result.
• Make sure you are connecting to the proper
line (mains) power (voltage)! The label on the
charging unit indicates the necessary/ prescri-
bed line power. It must agree with the voltage
coming from the power source.
• Do not touch the mains plug with wet hands!
You may receive an electric shock.
5.3 Charging unit
Please consult the chapter entitled „Charging the battery“
for further information on this subject.
The charging units and batteries are compatible among
themselves and all battery variations can be charged with all
charging units. The following graphic shows the variations:
If your battery is out of use for a longer period,
for example for 3-6 months during a winter break,
it is best to store the battery at a charging level
of 50 % – 80 %. In this way the battery does not
age as quickly as when it is fully charged. Don’t
forget to check the charging level once every 12
weeks, recharging it if necessary. In this case al-
ways make sure that the battery is not comple-
tely empty for a longer period of time, as a total
discharge with irreversible damage to the battery
cells may result.
Storage of the ePower
Store the battery in a dry and well-aired place. To counteract
a loss in the battery’s capacity, the best room temperature is
around 20° C (68 ° F).
If the battery is completely emptied (blinking red display) as
a result of use, it must be recharged within 2-3 days to avoid
total damage.

warms up. Depending on the initial temperature and due to
the thermal protective circuit, it is possible that it does not
lead to a shorter charging time compared to the charging
time with the 120 W charging unit.

Aer positioning the battery in the holder, the LED display
lights up for a short moment before going out again. This
shows that the battery is connected with the motor. But this
does not mean that the motor is switched on.
6. Operation
6.1 ePower installation/removal on the
bike
To position the battery in the holder, the point on the battery
is placed over the corresponding empty point on the holder.
Now push the battery down into the base of the holder and
turn in the direction of the whole point until a connecting
noise is heard, and both whole points are positioned one
over the other. To remove the battery, please proceed in the
opposite sequence.
6.2 ON/OFF switch of the ePower
Hold the battery tightly when removing it. It is
heavy!
The Pendix eDrive is activated by pushing the ON/OFF but-
ton on the battery. The LED display shows a continuous light
in the color of the actual charging level. Push again to switch
the motor OFF and the LED display also goes o.
Riding without the motor is possible, both with or wi-
thout the battery installed. If the battery is used, but there
is no LED display, this means that the motor is deactivated
and no support is provided.
Riding with the motor is only possible if the LED display
is on permanently. This means that the motor is activated
so that it can support you the moment you start pedaling.
Only switch the system ON or OFF when the bicy-
cle is not in motion. This is to ensure that you
keep both hands on the handlebar while riding.
6.3 Setting the assistance levels
With your Pendix eDrive300/500, you have three possible
assistance levels available: ECO, SMART and SPORT. You
can set your system to any of these using the rotating switch
directly on the battery. The straight mark on the ON/OFF
button shows the selected mode. The Pendix eDrive150 only
has one level of assistance which is the SMART mode.
The assistance levels distinguish according to their strength
Do not change the assistance level while riding.
Doing so is a safety hazard. Always keep both
hands on the handlebar while riding.
• Before use, check to see that the charging unit,
the cable and the plug are not damaged. If you
see any damage, do not use the charging unit.
You may receive an electric shock.
• Keep the charging unit away from children and
animals. Small children and animals may da-
mage the cable if they play with it. This can re-
sult in an electric shock, a malfunction or a fire.
• The charging unit may be handled by child-
ren (over 8 years) and persons with restricted
physical, sensory or mental abilities only when
they are supervised by a responsible person.
• Aer this make sure that the charging unit is
clean. Otherwise you may receive an electric
shock.

ports up to 25 km/h or 15 ½ mph),
• assistance level 150 %
• Examples: Cycling in town, slight gradients,
mostly untreated or non-solid ground
SPORT • High power (supports up to 25 km/h or 15 ½
mph),
• assistance level 200 %
• Examples: Hills, mountains, steep gradients,
loose or irregular surface, headwind
When using the power station, you only need to make sure

that the point on the battery is in line with the point on the
Power Station. When the battery is positioned, the magnetic
plug will attract it into place so that it will be electrically
connected. The LED display lights up to indicate successful
connection.
If you wish to charge without the Power Station, make note
6.4 Connecting/removing ePower from
charging unit
of the symbols on the plug. As the plug is magnetic, it has
the advantage that it will only be attracted to the battery if
it is held the right way round. The LED display lights up to
indicate successful connection.
You can charge the battery at any time without shortening
its endurance. There is no memory eect. Also, no damage
to the battery occurs when charging is interrupted.
6.5 Charging the ePower
Only charge the battery with the proper charging
unit. Using a dierent charging unit may cause a
fire.
When using the charging unit for the first few
times a smell may become perceptible.
This is the result of a normal production process.
If this happens, make sure your work room is well
aired. There is no danger to your health.
The charger is designed for usage in damp-free,
dry and ventilated environment. Do not expose
the charger to rain or hot conditions.
The ideal temperature for charging is between 15 and
25° C (59–25° F). If the temperature of the battery is below
0° C (32° F), do not charge it. The upper temperature limit for
charging is 45° C (113° F). Please note: when the battery is
moved from very cold surroundings to a warmer place, you
must give it a certain time to adapt.
Do not use the charging unit in damp or wet places, or near
running water. There is a danger that the charging unit will
overheat, catch fire, or cause an electric shock.
To charge the battery, first insert the plug of the charging
Remember that, aer a sudden temperature
change from cold to warm, condensed water
can form on the battery contacts. To avoid this,
store the battery in the same place as where you
charge it.
During a charging process, place the charging
unit on an inflammable surface and make sure
that no easily inflammable materials (for examp-
le paper, carton or textiles) are located nearby.
The charging unit warms up during the charging
process and there is a risk of fire while this takes
place.

active in this way as long as charging lasts. Its color changes
according to the charging level. The LED display switches o
automatically when the battery is fully charged.
During charging, it is possible to switch o this pulsating
light of the LED display by pushing the ON/OFF button once.
Charging of the battery will nevertheless continue. The pul-
sating light is reactivated by pushing the ON/OFF button
once again; when the battery is fully charged, the display
may then light up with a green color for a short moment.
If the battery does not start charging aer being connected
(for example charging unit not connected with power out-
let), the LED display shows a continuous light for 30 seconds
before going out.
Should the LED display show a blinking blue light, this me-
ans that the battery is outside its given temperature limits.
Make sure that the temperature of the battery is in a range
between 0° and 45°C (32°F–113°F).

6.7 Additional functions
Brightness of the LED display (ePower300/500)
If you want, you can adjust the brightness of the LED display
as required. This functions when the bicycle is not in motion
or when the battery is not connected:
Please do not try to adjust the brightness while riding your
bicycle. This is a safety risk. Set the support mode to Eco.
Push the ON/OFF button down for 4 seconds, aer which the
LED display begins to show brightness levels in 5 steps. This
continues as long as you keep the button pushed. Release
the button when the brightness level you want is shown, and
this value is saved. This brightness level is retained until you
make a new setting in the same way.
The adjustment will be done aer 30 seconds,
even if you bush the button longer.
Flashlight mode (ePower300/500)
You can also use the battery as a light source. This functions
while charging or when the battery is not connected:
Turn the support setting to Sport.
Push the ON/OFF button down for 4 seconds, aer which
the LED display shows a white light. To switch the flashlight
mode OFF either turn the setting again or give the ON/OFF
For technical reasons, make sure that the mode
on the charging unit is terminated just before
conclusion of the charging process and is no
longer available. Separate the battery from the
charging unit to put it into operation again.
Note: according to duration of use, the rotating
switch in the flashlight mode can be very warm.
button a short push.
Resetting the battery
Should it happen that the battery no longer functions, you
have the possibility of resetting it. For this, push the ON/OFF
button, no matter in what support setting, for 40 seconds.
Aer this, the LED display goes o and the battery has been
reset.
Safety U-bolt as bicycle lock (ePower300/500)
In its lower section, the Pendix battery has been fitted with a
withdrawable safety lock. Whenever you do not wish to take
the battery with you, just leave it in connected position, pull
out the U-bolt and pass a suitable bicycle lock through it.
7. Useful notes on
distances
This will secure the battery firmly onto your bicycle.
USB-C connection (ePower300/500)
The ePower 300 and ePower500 oers an USB-C interface
which is suitable to load typical devices like mobile phones
and GPS devices as well as for lamp systems. The USB-C
To find out how far you can expect to ride, please consult
the relevant table:
• Support setting: The higher the support setting (mode)
used, the greater the amount of electric energy used: this
means the distance that can be covered is reduced.
• Riding style: You can save energy with the optimum ef-
fective use of your gear change system. In the lower gears
you exert less energy, the support level is not so high and
the motor of your Pedelec consumes less energy.
• Outside temperature: When temperatures are low,
interface is activated if the battery is attached to the bicycle
and turned on. The USB-C output can be activated or deacti-
vated by pressing shortly the on-o switch button in case the
battery is neither attached to the bicycle nor to the charging
unit. The LED ring dims and shows the current state of char-
ge in the appropriate colour.
Output voltage: 5 V | Max. output current: 1.5 A
Activate Bluetooth
To connect to the Pendix Smartphone App, the Bluetooth in-
terface must be activated on the ePower. This works on the
bicycle at standstill or when the battery is not connected:
Please do not try to activate Bluetooth during the ride. This
will endanger your safety.
Switch the battery on with the on/o button. Set the as-
sistance to smart (preset for the ePower150). Push the on/
o button for 4 seconds, aerwards the LED display starts
to blink red which signals that the battery is ready for
connection.
If the connection was successful, the LED display blinks blue
two times. For more information on how to connect to the
Pendix.bike PRO app, please refer to the app instructions.
The Bluetooth connection disconnects
again by pressing and holding the on/o button again for 4
seconds during an active Bluetooth connection.

batteries discharge more rapidly and the maximum dis-
tance covered is less.
• Weather and weight: In addition to the outside tempe-
rature, prevailing winds also influence performance and
range. You need more power the stronger the wind is
against you. And if you are carrying an extra load, you also
need more energy to carry the additional weight.
• Technical condition of your Pedelec: If the pressure in
your tires is too low, this increases the resistance due
to friction, especially when the wheels are rolling over a
smooth surface such as asphalt (paving, concrete). The
distance your Pedelec can cover is also reduced by a
dragging brake and/or a badly mounted chain.
• Charging level: The charging level shows the amount of
electricity stored in the battery at the moment in time.
More energy means a greater distance.
• Battery capacity: The battery capacity function shows
the ability of a fully charged battery to supply a specific
amount of electricity. As the capacity of a battery decrea-
ses with age, the amount of storable energy in a fully
charged battery is also reduced.
• Pedaling frequency: The motor produces its optimum
level of eect at pedaling rates (frequencies) between 60
and 70 per minute. In this range, less energy is used than
at other frequencies, which allows for a longer distance.

Factors that can partly be actively influenced,
but also partly result from conditions that cannot
be influenced, which should always be taken into
account when planning the route. These dierent
influences can be:
Can not be influenced:
Environmental influences such as wind,
temperature
Route influences such as underground, topogra-
phy, frequency of starts
Bicycle influences such as tire width, tire profile,
weight, battery aging
Can be influenced:
Driving influences such as cadence, personal
eort, driving dynamics (braking / acceleration
behavior), seating position, average speed
Bicycle influences such as air pres-
sure, smooth running of the compo-
nents, level of motor support
"hindered" conditions:
Both influenceable and non-influenc
able factors are taken into account.
"favorable" conditions:
Factors that cannot be influen-
ced are taken into account.
"ideal" conditions: all factors are ideal.
The displayed range data refers to the riding profile "performance" which is preset from the factory. You however
are able to choose the riding profile "eicieny" in the Pendix.bike PRO App in order to generate a even higher range.

8. In case of an error
Should your Pendix eDrive not function any more, this can
have dierent reasons. The following signals have been
installed to indicate the system in which the defect has
occurred:
• A blue light blinking at intervals of 0.5 seconds à battery
defect
• A blue light blinking at intervals of 2 seconds à motor de-
fect (battery must be connected with motor)
• The LED display will indicate a defect as long as it is pre-
sent in the system. In such cases, you can switch the LED
display o by pushing the ON/OFF button down for 40
seconds
Repairs on the motor may only be carried out by
a bicycle specialist/technician or a person with
similiar knowledge and technical background
and with original replacement (spare) parts being
used. Caution: improperly carried out repairs can
cause accidents and severe damage.

Make sure that the wheel speed sensor is tightly attached to the chain bar.
Make sure that the plugs on the rear of the motor are tightly in place.
Make sure that the contacts of the plug on the battery holder are free of impurities or obstructions.
Make sure that the contacts of the plug on the battery holder do not touch any other metal parts or surfaces.
Make sure that there are no visible signs of damage along the cable connection between the motor and the battery, and that all wires are properly laid out and accessible.
Check to see if the motor is warm. If necessary, allow it to cool down before checking to see whether it is now functioning.
You can use the Pendix.bike PRO App to read out the existing
error. In order to do so, please use a bluetooth connection
to connect the Pendix eDrive with the app as it is described
in the App manual. You can download the app manual from
our website at app.pendix.de. Use the diagnose function of
the app in the "bike" menu to read the error memory.
In case you do not use the Pendix.bike PRO App, you can
use the following table to check for an error yourself or have
them checked by a dealer. If you cannot rectify an error that
occurs yourself, please contact your dealer with both drive
and battery errors. The dealer can undertake further error
diagnoses on site. If an exchange of parts is necessary, the
handling will always take place between the dealer and
Pendix.
