Congratulations on your new electric bicycle!
Your electric bicycle is a bike with electric pedal assistance.
This means that you can pedal it as a normal bike, or that the bike can assist you in your pedaling.
The electric bicycle will assist you when you are pedaling. The amount of assistance depends on
the force you exert on the pedals.
RIDE+ bicycles come in two classes: Pedelecs and Fast Electric Bikes.
• Pedelecs assist up to a speed of 25 km/h. This class is legally considered a bicycle.
• Fast Electric Bikes assist at higher speeds. This class is legally considered a lightweight moped.
This manual covers the following bikes, both pedelecs and fast class
• Derailleur/Roller brake,
• Derailleur/Rim (Magura, V-brake) or disc brake.
• Internal gear hub/Roller brake
• Internal gear hub/ Rim (Magura, V-brake) or disc brake.
The electric bicycle differs only slightly from a non-electric bike.
The following parts are specific to an electric bicycle
• The battery-pack in the rear rack or on the down tube,
• The motor in the rear- or front wheel hub,
• The controller on the handlebars or on the clamp in front of the handlebars.
Congratulations

Assistance – Regeneration
2.2 Assistance – Regeneration
The systems with the BionX G2 controller, RIDE+ Pro controller, RIDE+ EASY controller and RIDE+
EASYII controller have four levels of assistance. When the system is set to assistance, the electric
motor drives the rear wheel and assists you in your pedaling.
Additionally, the systems with the BionX G2 Controller and RIDE+ Pro Controller have four levels of
regeneration. The systems with the RIDE+ Easy Controller and RIDE+ Easy II Controller do not have
regenerating by default. On systems with these Controllers, regenerating can be activated by the
dealer. When the system is set to regeneration, the electric motor is used as a dynamo and
generates electricity for charging the battery-pack. Going downhill, you can reduce your speed by
regulating the amount level of regeneration as the created resistance acts as a motor brake.
Though, that generation mode is not a substitute for using brakes to control speed or stop.
The tables below give an indication of the effort that is compensated in the different assistance and
regeneration levels. The real percentages of compensated effort depend on the software settings of
the bike.

Both lights always work simultaneously.
*Depending on model.
• Adjusting the beams
The height of the beams can be
adjusted by turning knobs ‘C’
(on both sides of the fork). Both
beams can be adjusted
independently by turning knob
‘C’ with a cross-headed
screwdriver. Both beams at the
same height gives best
performance.

40 km/h ‘Fast Electric Bike’
3. 40km/h ‘Fast Electric Bike’
The ’40 km/h fast electric bike’ is an electric bicycle of which the assistance does not stop at
25 km/h but at 40 km/h. This higher assist speed makes it the perfect electric bicycle for people
who like riding faster than 25 km/h. Note, though, that the actual maximum speed that you can
reach depends first and foremost on how strongly you pedal.
3.1 Legal rules
Legally, the 40 km/h fast electric bike is no longer considered being a ‘bicycle’ but a ‘lightweight
moped’. It has type approval as such.
NOTE, For these bicycles third party insurance is mandatory.
In most countries, wearing a helmet is not mandatory. However, we strongly recommend to
always wear a helmet for your own safety.
Since 40 km/h electric bicycles are legally considered to be lightweight mopeds, they do have
a throttle, which allows riding them up to 20 km/h using motor power only. This means, that up
to 20km/h your bike can be used as an E-Bike, rather than as a Pedelec. Above that speed,
the motor will assist pedaling up to a speed of 40 km/h.
Important: The maximum power of the motor on your bicycle is limited to 250 W. Your
40 km/h electric bicycle is still a bicycle. It is therefore not recommended that you use it as a
moped or an E-bike without pedaling. Using battery power only will strongly limit your range.
3.2 Differences in equipment
The technical equipment of these 40 km/h bikes is almost identical to that on Pedelecs.
The following parts are additional and/or different:
• the rear view mirror
• the insurance plate holder
• the throttle on the controller
• extra reflectors
•Slightly different brake levers
• the type-approval plate on the frame.
These are all part of the type approval. It is not allowed to remove or exchange them for
other (non-certified) equipment. This also applies to the handlebars, tires, seat post, headlight,
rear light, brakes, kickstand and controller.
3.3 Instructions for use
Riding is the same as the Pedelec bikes, except that the assistance does not stop at 25 km/h
but at 40 km/h.
Ride carefully. Other road users may not expect a bicycle to go this fast.
Maximum range on one battery charge depends very much on your style of use. Due to the
higher speed that can be reached, be prepared to find the range slightly shorter than on regular
Pedelec bikes that have a maximum assistance speed of 25 km/h.

catch at the back of the holder and slide the controller off
towards the rear. To install the BionX G2 Controller onto the
handlebar, align the controller with its clamp and slide the
controller forward until it clicks. To prevent loss of riding
information, please make sure that the system is switched
off before the controller is removed from the bike.
• Unintended removal of Controller out of its dock.
If the controller is moved off its clamp while the system is active (‘on’), the system will no longer
assist, even when the controller is replaced into its clamp. Please select the correct level of
assistance again to reactivate the system.
• Using the BionX remote
Most bikes with the BionX G2 controller positioned on the middle clamp are
equipped (or can be equipped) with the BionX remote.
This device is mounted either the right or left side of the handlebar and can
be used to regulate the following functions without moving your hands off the
handlebar:
1• ‘+’ button Increase assist level (or decrease regeneration level)
2• ‘-‘ button Decrease assist level (or increase regeneration level)
3• Throttle button For Pedelecs: walk assist up to 3 or 6 km/h (pedaling not needed)
For fast E-bikes: assist up to 25 km/h (pedaling not needed)
• Installation of the BionX remote for non-equipped bikes:
To connect the BionX remote to the system, the remote connector can be plugged into the receiver
connector of the controller docking. After that, the brake generator connector can be plugged into
the remote connector.

will beep five times. Riding with the system ‘on’ in level 0 is the
same as riding with the system ‘Off’. If the bike is left with the
system on, it will automatically switch off after about 10 minutes.
• Changing the position of the buttons
Normally, the On/Off button and the mode-switch button
are on the right, and the ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons on the left. The
functionality of the buttons can be swapped right-to-left. The code
to access this is 2009. More information about programming via
the controller can be found later in this manual.
• Assistance
When the motor provides power, the bicycle is in assistance mode. There are four levels of
assistance. The level of assistance is shown by the arrows at the bottom of the display.
Notice: It is strongly advised to ride away in a straight line when an assistance level is selected.
Never select assistance level 3 or 4 during maneuvering or riding away in a tight corner. The powerful
reaction of motor might take you unawares.
To increase assistance, press button ‘+’. For assistance level 1,
press once. Press again for more assistance. For less assistance
press button ‘-’. When there is no assistance level shown, there is
no assistance so riding is the same as pedaling a normal bicycle.
