Ampler hardware (the battery, controller and sensors) are inserted 
into the down tube. This keeps the bike clean, the weight down, and 
the components safe from outside elements such as the rain and cold 
temperature. 

The hardware doesn’t need any special maintenance. However, we 
recommend to keep your bike Firmware up to date and calibrate your 
bike sensors from time to time. This will help to keep your bike in a 
good shape for longer time.

Software restart clears up your bikes memory and starts it fresh. It 
helps to resolve any problems connected to the hardware, and any 
communication problems between the bike and the mobile app. 

To reset your bike
1.  Hold down the power button for 10 seconds. This will reset and 

turn off your bike.

2.  Turn on the bike again from the power button.

Ampler bikes are pedelecs and they have sensors regulating the 
motor, measuring the speed of pedalling and your own input power. 
Therefore, the bike is easy to use and the motor power is controlled 
according to your own pedaling force. This creates a safe and smooth 
riding experience.

We recommend to calibrate your bike’s torque sensor 

every 3–6 

months

, or in case the bike feels over- or underpowered. Torque 

sensor calibration is done via the Ampler app:

1.  Adjust the left crank forward, parallel to the ground. 
2.  Connect the Ampler app with your bike via Bluetooth
3.  Open 

‘Vehicle’

 setting from the menu

4.  Click on 

‘torque sensor calibration’

5.  The LED blinks in 

orange

6.  The LED will turn 

green

 once the calibration is successful 

Re-adjusting the sensor signal helps to improve your bike’s responsi-
veness and power to its original fi gures.

Every Ampler has a motor controller – the so-called brain of your bike 
that connects all the elctronics and makes sure everything runs 
smoothly. The motor controller is managed by Firmware (the software 
that controls the hardware). To guarantee the best riding experience, 
we recommend keeping your bike’s Firmware up to date.

Factory calibration will adjust all your bike's sensors and align the 
functionality of all electronic components. Use this calibration only if 
any of the electronic components have been replaced or only if re-
commended by Ampler support.

CAUTION! During the factory calibration, the motor starts on its own 
and thus the rear wheel will start spinning. It is necessary for you to 

Software restart
