Setup
Before the first use of the tuning module or after conversion to another bike the setup must
always be carried out first. Even in the case of malfunctions, a defined state of the module
can be restored by executing the setup.
Turn on the eBike.
Press „arrow down“ twice, afterwards „arrow up“ twice and „arrow
down“ twice again.

Speed 11.1 km/h is displayed for 10 seconds.
The wheel circumference stored in the drive unit is displayed for 5
seconds in centimeters. If necessary, adjust with the "arrow up" and
"arrow down" buttons. Normally no adustment is required.
Selection of bicycle type. Here you can set the maximum support
speed of the bike without tuning with the arrow keys. Possible values:
20, 25, 32 and 45km/h. Default value: 25km/h
As soon as 0.0 km/h is displayed, the setup is finished.
The following illustrations show the RideControl EVO. The operation of the
other displays is identical, but not shown here.
If the display is set to mph, change the unit to km/h for the setup. For the
EVO display, press the "I" button for 5 seconds.
If there is no display for speed indication, you can also use an app that
shows the speed via ANT+.

Speed Mode
When speed mode is activated, the speed limit for the motor assistance is increased. The
limit can be set freely.
Turning off the eBike automatically turns off speed mode and must be reactivated after the
bike is turned on.
If there is no display to show the speed, an app that shows the speed via
ANT+ can be used.
The limit can of course also be set without a display, simply by feeling.
Activation / Limit adjustment
Press alternately "arrow down" and "arrow up" twice in quick
succession.

Speed limit is displayed for 5 seconds.
If desired, adjust the limit with the arrow keys. Possible values:
25..99km/h, S-Pedelec 45..99km/h. Default value 32km/h, S-Pedelec
52km/h. The set value is saved.
Display shows the normal driving speed again. Speed mode is active.
Deactivation
Press alternately "arrow down" and "arrow up" twice in quick
succession.

Dynamic Mode
Exceeding the speed limit the motor power is reduced by default very much. A higher pedal
force then results no longer in a higher speed, but in a lower motor assistance. For a more
natural driving emotion in the dynamic mode the reduction is spread over a larger speed
range, the so-called "wall effect" is significantly reduced and it can be driven with much
more constant pedal force. The dynamic mode can only be activated when the speed mode
is activated.
While driving (> 10km/h), press the walk assist button for 2 seconds
Dynamic mode off: 50.0 km/h is displayed for 2 seconds.
Dynamic mode on: 51.0 km/h is displayed for 2 seconds.

FAQ
After installing the tuning, the error "Energy Pak Error" or “A4 error” appears on the display.
The two small 3-pin connectors of the tuning module were probably connected to the wrong mating
connector. The red-painted connectors are the communication lines to the battery. If the tuning is
plugged in there, the error appears. Put the red plugs back together and look for another white 3-pin
connector and plug in the tuning there.
Is the total mileage correct even after removing the module?
Yes. The total km measured by the drive unit are not changed by the tuning. This is ensured by a
continuously working compensation function in the tuning module. However, before removing the
module, the bike should remain switched on at standstill with the speed mode switched on until it
shuts off by itself. This will ensure that the compensation function has correctly adjusted the
mileage. However, any wheel circumference adjusted during the setup does not affect the mileage of
the drive unit and there are deviations after removing the module.
The displayed distance (Odometer, Trip) or the speed is not correct. What can I do?
Run the setup again. As a result, the current mileage is taken over from the drive unit in the tuning
module and you have the opportunity to re-adjust the wheel circumference if necessary.
