WARNING – eBike pitchover
u
The ABS is not always able to prevent the eBike
pitching over in extreme riding situations (e.g.
when carrying a heavy bag with a high center of
gravity or the eBike having a high center of gravity,
e.g. due to the saddle being set high as a result of a
small frame, or variations in the road surface or
steep descents). Carrying an additional load that
changes the vehicle's center of gravity in any way
(e.g. a basket or a child seat on the handlebars),
which could increase the tendency to tip over, is
not recommended. Always adapt your riding style
to the present environmental conditions and your
personal cycling abilities.
WARNING – air in the hydraulic system
u
If air gets into the brake system, the function
and usefulness of the ABS is significantly im-
paired. The air in the system means that less
braking force can be built up, especially follow-
ing intervention by the ABS, in which the brake
lever also moves a little closer to the handle-
bars. There is an additional risk of crushing to
fingers that are not wrapped around the brake
lever and remain on the handle while braking.
Before every journey, you should therefore apply
the brake to check whether there is a clearly notice-
able pressure point and whether there is sufficient
clearance between the brake lever and the handle-
bar grip. The pressure point should be at approxi-
mately 1/3 of the brake lever travel. In case of
doubt, set the brake lever to the maximum possible
length of travel. If air finds its way into the brake
system, please have it bled by a professional. Al-
ways adapt your riding style to the present environ-
mental conditions and your personal cycling abili-
ties.
WARNING – check the ABS control unit
u
Before every journey, check that the ABS control
unit is fitted securely to the fork. If the ABS control
unit comes loose, it may fall into the spokes and
cause an accident.

WARNING – limited function during software
u
updates
The ABS may be deactivated and there may be no
indication from the ABS indicator light during soft-
ware updates. We do not recommend riding you
eBike during software updates.
CAUTION – component damage or risk of crush-
u
ing
Take care not to clamp components such as brake
cables, harnesses or body parts between the ABS
control unit and the frame. This prevents compo-
nent damage and injury, even when the handlebar
is at full lock.
NOTE – do not allow brake fluid to come into
u
contact with the control unit
When servicing the ABS, make sure that the ABS
control unit does not come into contact with brake
fluid. If the ABS control unit comes into contact
with brake fluid, correct operation over the entire
service life cannot be guaranteed. In such cases,
clean the ABS control unit of the brake fluid as
quickly as possible. Servicing and repairs must only
be carried out by professionals.
