you apply to the pedals is translated into a
signal to the bike control unit (e) by the
torque/pedal power sensor (d). If you have
turned on the pedal assistance via the display
(c), a signal is sent to the bike control unit as
well. The bike control unit translates both
signals into high or low motor support (b).

Question: Is the amount of pedal assistance
adjustable?
Answer: Yes, absolutely. The unique feature of this
system is that your dealer, in both the "eco" and "boost"
mode, can set the assistance according to your wishes
because these might deviate from the factory settings
for both modes. If you would like your battery to deliver
a greater action of radius than average, the dealer can
slightly diminish the amount of assistance offered in
the eco mode. If you prefer an increased assistance (e.g.
because your bike companion has more strength than
you and thus cycles faster), the dealer can easily adjust
this for you. This way, you can add between 50 and
200% of power to your pedalling.
Question: What is the radius of action for the
various pedal power modes?
Answer: As a rule, the eco mode is programmed in such
a way that the bike will provide long lasting assistance.
This varies between 40 and 75 kilometres (app. 25 and
45 miles), depending on your weight, pedal power, the
bike gears you use, the weather conditions, the requested
amount of assistance and the battery age. As a rule, the
boost mode is programmed to provide greater support
so that you receive more powerful assistance for a short
period of time. Cycling in the boost mode will cause your
battery to run out of power sooner. How soon depends,
again, on the amount of assistance programmed by your
dealer, your weight, pedal power, the bike gears you use,
the weather conditions and battery age. With the factory
setting, this is between 25 and 40 kilometres (app. 15
and 25 miles).
