Operation
Initial Operation
Requirements
The eBike system can only be activa ted when the following
requirements a re met:
– A sufficiently char ged battery pack is inserted (see battery
pack operating instructions).
– The on-board computer is properly inserted in the holder
(see “Inserting and removing the on-board computer”,
page English – 1).
– The speed sensor is connected pr operly (see drive unit
operating instructions).
Switching the eBike System On/Off
Options for switching on the eBike system:
– If the on-board computer is already switched on when you
insert it into the holder, then the eBike system will be
switched on automatically.
– When the on-board computer and the eBike battery pack
are inserted, briefly pr ess the On/Off button 5 of the on-
board computer.
– When the on-board computer is inserted, press the On/Off
button of the eBike battery pack (see b attery pack operat-
ing instructions).
The drive is activated as soon as you step on the ped als (ex-
cept for in the push assistanc e function or in assistance level
“OFF”). The motor output depends on t he settings of the as-
sistance level on the on-board computer. As soon as the sys-
tem is activated, “Active Line/Performance Line” will ap-
pear briefly on the display.
As soon as you stop pedaling when in normal operation, or as
soon as you have reache d a speed of 25/45 km/h, the assis-
tance from the eBike drive is switched off. The drive is auto-
matically re-activated as soon you start pedaling again and the
speed is below 25/45 km/h.
Options for switching off the eBike system:
– Press the On/Off button 5 of the on-board computer.
– Switch the eBike battery pack off by its On/Off button (see
battery pack operatin g instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer out of its holder.
If the eBike is not moved and no button is pressed on the on-
board computer for 10 min utes, the eBike system will shut
down automatically in order to save energy.
eShift (optional)
eShift i s the in tegration of automatic gear shifting systems in-
to the eBike sy stem. To support the rider in the best way pos-
sible, the function indications and the basic settings menu
have been adapted for the “eShift” func tion.
eShift with NuVinci H|Sync
The optimum gear for the respective speed is automatically
set according to a pre-defined desired cadence. In manual
mode you can choose between multiple gears.
In the “ NuVinci Cadence” mode you can use the “–” or
“+” button on the operating unit to increase or decrease the
desired cadence. If you hold down the “–” or “+” button, the
cadence will inc rease or decrease in steps of five. The desired
cadence is shown on the displa y.
In the “ NuVinci Gear” mode you can use the “–” or “+”
button on the operating u nit to switch back and forth between
several defined transmission ratios. The engaged transmis-
sion ratio (gear) is shown on the display.
eShift with SRAM DD3 Pulse
The gear hub of the SRAM DD3 P ulse works on a speed-de-
pendent basis. Regardless of which gear is engaged on the de-
railleur gears, one of the three gears of the gear hub wi ll auto-
matically be engaged “ Gear: Auto” .
The engaged gear will be shown briefly on the display when-
ever the gear of the gear hub is shifted.
If the eBike is brought to a standstill from a speed of more
than 10 km/h, the system can automatically switch back to a
set “Start gear”. The “Start gear” can be set in the basic set-
tings menu (see “Displaying/Adapting Basic Settings”, page
English – 5).
In the “ Gear” mode you can use the “–” or “+” button on
the operating unit to switch back and f orth between severa l
defined transmission ratios. The engaged tran smission ratio
(gear) is shown on the display.
In the “ Gear” manual mode, the system can al so automati-
cally switch back to a set “Start gear” .
The drive unit recognises the gear shift and briefly reduces
the motor assistance level as a result of it, which mean s the
gear can also be shifted at any time under load or on a hill.
eShift with Shimano Di2
For Shimano eShift y ou use the Shimano control lever to shift
gears.
The engaged gear will be shown briefly on the display when-
ever the gear of the gear hub is shifted.
The drive unit recognises the gear shift and briefly reduces
the motor assistance level as a result of it, which mean s the
gear can also be shifted at any time under load or on a hill.
If the eBike is brought to a standstill from a speed of more
than 10 km/h, the system can automatically switch back to a
set “Start gear”. The “Start gear” can be set in the basic set-
tings menu (see “Displaying/Adapting Basic Settings”, page
English – 5).
