The connectors on battery, motor and charger
are magnetic. Magnets can impact the function
of pace makers and implantable cardioverterde-
fibrillators (e.g. actuation of reed switch). Keep a
minimum distance of 0,2 m (20 cm) between the
magnetic connector and the implanted devices
to prevent malfunction and danger to health.
In these instructions you will find three different symbols
– the symbol
Note
provides important information about
your new motor and how to use it, the symbol
Caution
draws your attention to possible damage and/ or environ-
mental hazards, the symbol
Danger
warns you against
possible accidents and severe damage, including possible
injuries to your person. Whenever you see one of these sym-
bols, there is a risk that one of the hazards described may
actually occur if instructions are not followed! The notes are
as follows:
Explanation of the symbols
1. General Safety Notes
Note:
This symbol provides information
about how to handle the product or work
with the respective section in the system ma-
nual, which must first be read through.
Caution:
This symbol warns you against making
mistakes which can result in damage to material
or create an environmental hazard.
Danger:
This symbol stands for a possible dan-
ger to your life and/or health, if relevant instruc-
tions are ignored or not correctly followed. It also
draws your attention to the fact that correspon-
ding preventive measures must always be taken
beforehand.
Keep this system manual in a safe and
accessible place, so that you can always
refer to them for further information or to answer
questions. Pass this manual on to any other per-
son needing them.
Caution! With a Pedelec you are much faster than
on a normal bicycle without electric support.
Most other people on the road (drivers, cyclists,
pedestrians) will not realize this, and underesti-
mate your speed or performance. For your own
safety, always wear a helmet!
Always activate the brakes of your Pedelec before
putting your foot down on a pedal! The motor
causes you to move forward the moment you
move a pedal. This impulse (forward push) is un-
expected at first and can produce falls, unwelco-
me reactions or accidents on the road and result
in injuries.
Do not allow children to use the Pedelec unat-
tended and without proper previous instruction!
Make them acquainted with the possible dangers
when handling electric equipment.
The Pendix drive is not designed or allowed for
use in explosion hazard areas.
Always keep both hands on the handlebar when
riding. Never ride hands free! Do not change the
setting on the motor (support level) while on the
move.
Before starting your journey, you must check the fol-
lowing important parts
of your Pedelec system - in addi-
tion to the items to be checked in the general instructions
for bicycles:
• Make sure the battery is firmly attached.
• Check the charging level of the battery: always make sure
you have sufficient energy for your planned journey.
Before starting your journey, you must check all
screws, quick release parts and important com-
ponents for safe and correct placement. Remem-
ber to carry out these checks, even if you have
only left your Pedelec unattended for a short
moment!
2. Introduction
Dear Customer,
Congratulations! By having attached the
Pendix eDrive to your bicycle, your riding is now supported
by an electric motor (drive system). Your bicycle is now an
EPAC (Electrically Power Assisted Cycle), also called Pedelec.
Pedelec stands for Pedal Electric Cycle which means that the
motor only supports you while you are turning the pedals. In
this case, the power of the motor depends on the pedaling
power applied and on the selected motor setting (assistance
type). The greater the power you apply, the greater the sup-
port provided by the motor and the higher the level of sup-
port selected, the greater the power provided by the motor.
If the speed of the Pedelec is above 25 km/h, the motor
