Never open the electric component of the BIKEDRIVE AIR yourself. Maintenance
must be performed by a specialist. Opening components automatically voids the
warranty.
Modifying the components or using components that are not intended for the
BIKEDRIVE AIR is not permitted and can critically affect the safety. Any
modifications or use of third-party components voids the warranty.
After a long ride, the BIKEDRIVE MX AIR drive unit can heat up significantly. This
poses risk of burns.

2 DRIVE SYSTEM
Congratulations on your purchase of the BIKEDRIVE AIR drive system. You have
chosen a drive system with the latest technology.
The bike equipped with the BIKEDRIVE AIR drive system has been developed for
the current electric bike market. The support is adjusted by means of a controller
that evaluates the data of three sensors (speed, cadence, and torque) and
regulates the motor depending on the selected level of support. Once a speed of 25
km/h is reached, no support is provided any more. However, you can ride faster
than 25 km/h using your own strength without electromotive support and without
additional resistance.
2.1 Intended use
Legal provisions
Inform yourself about the applicable statutory regulations in your country or at your
place of residence prior to commissioning your bike.
Your BIKEDRIVE AIR is intended for transporting one person on asphalt roads as
well as on paved and unpaved tracks. The permissible load (rider + accessories +
luggage) depends on the bike manufacturer, who is also responsible for providing
this information.
The BIKEDRIVE AIR is not intended for the following:
• Use in races / competitions
• Cleaning with a high-pressure water jet
• Transport on the outside of a car in rainy weather
• Charging the bike in an outdoor location where it is subject to moisture or
intense direct sunlight
The intended use can be limited by:
• The safety alerts in this operating manual
• The chapter “Commissioning and operation” in this operating manual
• The country-specific traffic regulations
• The country-specific regulations on registration for use in road traffic
Use of the BIKEDRIVE AIR is not recommended for the following user groups:
• Persons with restricted physical, sensory, or mental abilities
• Persons who are unable to safely operate the vehicle due to their size

Modifications to the BIKEDRIVE AIR aimed at increasing the motor power or
the maximum support speed, pose a danger to your safety while riding. There
is risk of consequences under traffic, registration, insurance, regulatory, and
criminal law.
Rotating parts, such as wheels, crank arms, or pedals, can pull in clothing,
transported objects, and even body parts.
• Always wear close-fitting clothes, a helmet, and goggles.
• Wear shoes that have soles with good grip and that are appropriate for the ped-
als.
• Do not fasten any objects to your handlebar that could swing into the front wheel.
A bike equipped with BIKEDRIVE AIR accelerates faster than a conventional
bicycle. Always remember that other road users cannot know that you are
capable of such acceleration.
• First practice using your BIKEDRIVE AIR in a traffic-restricted zone before using
it in road traffic.
Active and passive light systems must be installed in accordance with the safety
regulations of the road traffic legislation of the corresponding country. The safety
equipment must be checked regularly and, if needed, repaired by a qualified
specialist.

Store all safety alerts and instructions for future reference.
The term “battery” used in this operating manual refers to all original
BIKEDRIVE AIR batteries.
•Do not get distracted by the display of the POWERTAB. If you do not
concentrate on the traffic only, you risk being involved in an accident.
• Read and observe the safety alerts and instructions in all operating manu-
als of the e-bike as well as in the operating manual of your
BIKEDRIVE AIR system.
3.2 System components
Depending on the configuration of your BIKEDRIVE AIR e-bike, some illustrations in
this operating manual might slightly differ from your actual bike.
3.2.1 Drive unit
• Do not remove and open the drive unit yourself. Only specialist personnel are
authorized to open it and it must be repaired with original spare parts exclusively.
Unauthorized opening of the system voids the warranty.
• Modification of the drive unit and installing other, unapproved products is not
permitted.
The drive unit consists of an efficient brushless maxon internal-rotor motor and a
low-noise performance planetary gearhead. The integrated electronics and sensors
ensure sensitive support in all riding situations. The patented, innovative freewheel
has no noticeable resistance – both when backpedaling as well as when riding
without electrical support.
