Battery charge-control indicator
The battery charge-control indicator g displays the charge
level of the eBike battery pack. The charge level of the eBike
battery pack can also be checked on the LEDs of the battery
pack itself.
On indicator g, each bar of the battery pack symbol is
equivalent to a capacity of approx. 20 %:
The eBike battery is fully charged.
The eBike battery should be recharged.
The LEDs of the charge-control indicator on the
battery extinguish. The capacity for assisting the
drive has been used up, and assistance is gently
switched off. The remaining capacity is made avail-
able for the lighting. The indicator flashes.
The capacity of the eBike battery pack is enough for
about 2 hours of lighting.
Switching the Walk Assistance On/Off
The walk assistance can make it easier for you to push the
eBike. The speed of this function depends on the selected
gear and can reach a maximum of 3.7 mph. The lower the
selected gear, the lower the speed of the walk assistance
function (at full capacity).
Using the walk assistance function is only recom-
mended when pushing the eBike. There is risk of injury
if the wheels of the eBike are not in contact with the
ground while using the walk assistance.
To activate the walk assistance function, short-press
button "WALK" on your on-board computer. After activa-
tion, press button "+" within 3 s and keep it pressed. The
eBike drive is switched on.
Note: The walk assistance cannot be activated in the "OFF"
assistance level.
The walk assistance is switched off as soon as one of the
following occurs:
– you release the button "+" 6,
– the wheels of the eBike are stopped (e.g. by actuating
the brakes or impacting against an obstacle),
– the speed exceeds 3.7 mph.
Note: On some systems the walk assistance function can
be started directly by pressing the "WALK" button.

drive assists you while pedaling. The assistance level can
be changed at any time, even while cycling.

sible that fewer assistance levels are available for selection

mode.
The following assistance levels (max.) are available:
– "OFF": The motor assistance is switched off, the eBike
can be operated as a normal bicycle through pedaling.
– "ECO": Effective assistance at maximum efficiency for
