Power
The power is switched off as soon as the rider
stops pedalling. The eBike can be stopped
mechanically using the brakes. The brake system
is not connected to the drive system.
When support mode is switched on, the drive
system responds to the smallest pressure on the
pedals.
When you get off the bike, you should apply the
brakes to prevent it from rolling away and to
reduce the risk of an accident.
Pushing aid mode
When the pushing aid mode is switched on, the
drive train will disconnect as soon as you release
the walk-assist button.
The drive system does not switch off when you
apply the brakes, which means that it is always
available.
Figure 2: Applying the brakes / pulling away
The eBike must only be switched on if the rider is
ready to apply the brakes, in other words, if he or
she can reach at least one of the brakes.
Figure 3: ON/OFF switch
The eBike must be switched off as soon as the
rider is no longer able to apply the brakes.
