– The on-board computer is properly inserted in the holder
(see on-board computer operating instructions).
– The speed sensor is correctly connected (see "Checking
the speed sensor (see figure A)", page English – 2).
Switching the eBike system on/off
The following options are available for switching on the
eBike system:
– If the on-board computer is already switched on when you
insert it into the holder, the eBike system will be activated
automatically.
– Once the on-board computer and the eBike battery are
fitted, briefly press the on/off button on the on-board
computer.
– With the on-board computer inserted, push the on/off
button on the eBike battery (bicycle manufacturer-spe-
cific solutions are possible when there is no access to the
battery on/off button; see the battery operating instruc-
tions).
Note: The eBike system always starts in OFF mode for drive
units with a maximum speed of more than 25 km/h.
The drive is activated as soon as you start pedalling (except
if you are using the push-assistance function, Switching the
push assistance on/off). The motor output depends on the
settings of the assistance level on the on-board computer.
As soon as you stop pedalling when in normal operation, or
as soon as you have reached a speed of 25/45 km/h, the
eBike drive switches off the assistance. The drive is automat-
ically reactivated as soon you start pedalling again and the
speed is below 25/45 km/h.
The following options are available for switching off the
eBike system:
– Press the on/off button of the on-board computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button (bi-
cycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possible when
there is no access to the battery on/off button; see the bi-
cycle manufacturer operating instructions).
– Remove the on-board computer from its holder.

pressed on the on-board computer, the eBike system
switches off automatically in order to save energy.
eShift (optional)
eShift is the integration of electronic gear-shifting systems
into the eBike system. The eShift components are electric-
ally connected to the drive unit by the manufacturer. The
separate operating instructions describe how to operate the
electronic gear-shifting systems.

Setting the assistance level

You can set the level at which the eBike drive assists you
while pedalling on the on-board computer. The assistance
level can be changed at any time, even while cycling.
Note: In some models, the assistance level may be preset
and cannot be changed. There may also be fewer assistance
levels available than stated here.
The requested motor output appears on the display of the
on-board computer. The maximum motor output depends on
the selected assistance level.
The following assistance levels are available as a maximum:
– OFF: Motor assistance is switched off. The eBike can just
be moved by pedalling, as with a normal bicycle. The
push assistance cannot be activated at this assistance
level.
– ECO: Effective assistance with maximum efficiency, for
maximum range
– TOUR: Steady assistance, long range for touring
– SPORT/eMTB:
SPORT: Powerful assistance, for mountain biking and
cycling in urban traffic
eMTB: Optimum assistance whatever the terrain, rapid
acceleration when starting from a standstill, improved dy-
namics and top performance (eMTB only available in
combination with the drive units BDU250P CX, BDU365,
BDU450 CX and BDU480 CX. A software update may be
required.)
– TURBO: Maximum assistance even at high pedalling
speeds, for sport cycling
