Product Description & Intended Use
NOTE ON THE GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
This is the supplementary instruction manual
for Lipo Smart series handbikes. It supplements
the general instructions for use for the City,
Ultra, Sport, Neodrives and Lipo Smart model
series. It is essential that you read both operating
instructions before using the handbike.
2 Product Description &
Intended Use
The handbike is coupled to a manual wheelchair as
an electrically assisted manual traction aid. This
allows the rider to be supported in his mobility. The
aim is to extend the range of action by enabling
longer distances to be covered more easily and
independently. Coupling the handbike creates a
three-wheeled vehicle with three relatively large
wheels. The handbike therefore improves driving
characteristics on uneven surfaces. Obstacles
can also be overcome more easily. Driving
downhill and on slopes becomes safer due to the
additional braking systems. The handbike can be
independently coupled to and released from the
wheelchair by the rider. The wheelchair as such
is not changed and its characteristics remain
completely unchanged.

throttle for speed control above the grip surface.
Depending on the version, you can use the thumb
throttle to drive 6 or 25 km/h without cranking
assistance. If you start cranking, the thumb throttle
is deactivated. You can now set the speed using
the control on the handlebar. The handbike will
then travel at the set speed regardless of how hard
you crank.
The brake lever on the left ergo handle
automatically interrupts the electronics of the
drive when actuated. Therefore, you cannot
simultaneously operate the left brake lever and
accelerate with the thumb throttle. The brake lever
also has a locking mechanism. Use this to use the
brake as a parking brake.
The brake lever on the right ergo handle has no
breaker contact. You can use the right brake lever
to start uphill.
Always use both brake levers for braking.
4.1.3 Lipo Smart Tetra
You can adjust the speed via the control knob to
the chin control.
For easier starting, press the button of the starting
aid for one second. The handbike then supports
the starting process for two seconds with the
preset speed setting.
The Lipo Smart has a coaster brake. Activate it by
turning the cranks of the handbike backwards. The
exact function of the coaster brake is explained in
the general instructions for use in chapter.
If your Lipo Smart Tetra is equipped with thumb
throttle in addition to the speed control for chin
control, this functions according to „4.1.2 Lipo
Smart Para“.
4.1.4 Starting uphill
If you have stopped on an incline and want to start
again, you may roll backwards and not be able to
start. To be able to start despite the incline, lean
forward to put more weight on the front wheel.
Press and hold the left brake lever. Now carefully
accelerate at the same time. Reduce the pressure
on the brake as you slowly apply more throttle.
As soon as you feel that you are moving in the
direction of travel, you can release the brake
completely.
4.1.5 Display of the charge level
You can check the battery charge level at any time
using the LED display. To do this, press the button
on the top of the battery. The charge level is also
shown on the left display.
4.1.6 End of ride
Turn the speed control knob on the handlebar to 0
to prevent unintentional driving off when moving
the cranks.
Turn the key switch with the key to the „OFF“
position . Remove the key and stow it away safely
(Fig. 4).
Turn off the battery with the main switch on the
battery. You will know the battery is off when the
light on the battery goes out.

for speed control above the grip surface. With
the thumb throttle you can drive 6 or 25 km/h
depending on the version without assistance by
cranking. If you start cranking, the thumb throttle is
deactivated. You can regulate the support level on
the control unit. The handbike will then travel at the
set speed regardless of how hard you crank.
The current battery charge level can be read from
the upper right corner of the display. The number
next to the state of charge describes the battery
voltage in volts. (Fig. 14).
A reliable reading of the charge status is not
possible while driving. Please stop for this purpose.
The following maximum values are given:

60 % <= 49,4 V
40 % <= 47,4 V
20 % <= 45,5 V
0 % <= 42,9 V
From a state of charge of 20 %, the state of charge
indicator of the display changes and signals the
minimum state of charge in red.
It is essential to read off the state of charge before
starting the journey. If it is in the red range, the

The cruise control can be activated with the green
button. When cruise control is activated, it saves
your current driving speed and retains it. Pressing
the button again will deactivate the cruise control.
Pressing the brake with breaker contact (brake
on the right handle) also deactivates the cruise
control. Should you use the throttle handle while
the cruise control is active, the handbike will not
accelerate. If the throttle grip is turned back to the
zero position after accelerating, this will deactivate
the cruise control.
The optional cruise control can be used in
conjunction with the assist levels (1-5) to maintain
their respective maximum speed on any incline. To
do this, select level 1, for example, and accelerate
until the speed limit of the level is reached. If cruise
control is now activated, the handbike will maintain
the speed, even on inclines.

4.2.3 Recovery brake
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Since the recuperation feeds energy back into
the system, some usage instructions must be
observed. If you ignore this, you run the risk of
reduced battery life and a defect in the battery.
Your product is equipped with a recuperation brake,
which feeds energy back into the battery during
braking. Recuperation is initiated by pulling the
right brake lever. Parallel to the recuperation, 2 disc
brakes are available to you (Fig. 20 ).
Fig. 20: Brake lever with brake contact and initiation of
recuperation (interrupter contact is only connected to the right
brake lever.)
The brake lever on the left side of the handlebar
has no breaker contact. You can use the left brake
lever for starting uphill („4.1.4 Starting uphill“).
The recuperation brake may only be used with a
completely intact battery. If your battery shows a
defect, such as greatly reduced capacity, greatly
changed voltage or external deformation, we
advise against further use of the battery.

14
R&E Stricker Reha-Entwicklungen GmbHAdditional instructions for use Smart product range
Operation
NOTE ON USE
If the battery is fully charged, it cannot absorb
any regenerated energy. This means that the
function of the recuperation brake is not available
or only to a very limited extent when the battery
is fully charged. The controller may prevent
recuperation. It can happen that the recuperation
brake is suddenly switched off by the controller
while driving (e.g. during braking) because the
battery has reached its state of charge limit. This
means that you have to provide all of the braking
power via the disc brakes and therefore pull the
brake levers more strongly. For safety reasons,
we recommend that you always carry out a longer
and steeper descent with the system switched on
and the recuperation brake activated.
If you charge the device before a long and steep
downhill descent, the charging process should not
be fully completed so that the recuperation brake
works during the descent.
4.2.4 Starting uphill
If you have stopped on an incline and want to start
again, you may roll backwards and not be able
to start. To be able to start despite the incline,
lean forward to put more weight on the front
wheel. Press and hold the left brake lever. Now
carefully accelerate at the same time. Reduce the
pressure on the brake as you slowly apply more
throttle. As soon as you feel that you are moving
in the direction of travel you can release the brake
completely. Please note that you may have a brake
cut-off switch on one of your brake levers. If this
brake lever is pulled, no motor power can be called
up. Hold the other brake lever and operate the
throttle grip or thumb throttle. This also applies to
hybrid handbikes. Depending on the equipment,
the brake lever with brake contact activates the
recuperation brake of the motor.

Troque control
The motor assistance is controlled by the rider‘s
power input. A lot of power input at the crank
results in a lot of motor support. The support levels
on the display divide the basic support of the motor
into 5 steps. The maximum speed of the motor can
be reached in each assistance level. In assist level
1 a lot of power is needed to reach this. In assist
level 5 only very little. The speed of the hybrid
handbike can be adjusted with the user‘s own
power or the „PAS mode“ (description follows).
Assist levels: „1 - Eco, 2 - Normal, 3 - Tour, 4 -
Power, 5 - Boost“ (Fig. 27).
