Only then should the
control be switched on. To
do this, press the button on
the twist grip for longer
than 1 second (Fig. 11). All
three LEDs light up when
the button is pressed.
Release the button when
all LEDs light up
continuously. The control
is now switched on and the
drive system is ready for
use.
.
NOTE:
The need to press and
hold the button is a safety
measure to prevent
accidental switching on or
off. As a further safety
feature, the drive can only
be switched on when the
twist grip is in its zero
position (front stop).
Pedal to start off, just as
with a conventional
bicycle. Add the power of
the motor according to
your own requirements by
softly turning the twist grip.
NOTE:
On the EPAC with assisted
pull-away, the motor can
be put in gear without
pedalling by turning the
twist grip. When the rider
is not pedalling, the motor
provides support up to a
speed of 6 km/h. The
assisted pull-away on the
EPAC can also be used as
a pushing aid.

Cycling
WARNING:
You should never block or
obstruct the twist grip's
automatic return while riding the
electric bicycle!
Once you are under way, to
increase the assistance
provided by the motor and to
continue accelerating, turn the
twist grip more towards you
while pedalling faster.
To reduce the assistance
provided by the motor and
reduce speed, slowly turn the
twist grip forwards.
If your speed increases while
you are pedalling, you should
change up to a higher gear.
You should change down to a
lower gear if your speed
decreases (e.g. riding uphill).
The control unit turns the drive
off if you pedal too slowly.
To deactivate the control while
you are riding, e.g. if you wish
to just pedal the cycle without
any motor assistance or during
long rides on the level or
downhill, proceed as follows:
•Gently turn the twist grip
forwards to its zero position
•Press the button on the
twist grip for at least 1
second until all the LEDs go
out.
The control is now switched off.
NOTE:
The control shuts off
automatically when:
•the battery has reached the
deep discharge limit.
•the motor or control unit
overheat. This is possible,
e.g. after longer periods of
up-hill travel or
extended use with a second
transported battery. After an
appropriate cooling period
(approx. 10 - 15 minutes),
the drive is ready for
operation again. Before
continuing on a journey, the
drive system on the control
unit must be switched off
and on again.
