RIDING WITH MOTOR ASSISTANCE
The system is switched on and off at the buttons of the control element on the
battery or on the handlebars. Furthermore, different assistance modes can be
selected with the command console at the handlebars (e), the remaining capac-
ity of the rechargeable battery is displayed and the different functions of the
cycle computer, if available, can be selected (f).
When switched on the system activates during pedalling and the drive assis-
tance is available. Sensors measure your pedalling movements and control the
fully automated drive assistance according to the selected assistance mode. The
level of the additional propulsion depends on the assistance mode, your speed
and the amount of force applied to the pedals.
The assistance switches off when you reach a speed of more than 25 kmh.
Keep in mind that you may have to change your riding habits: Do not mount
by placing one foot on the pedal and by trying to throw the other leg over the
saddle. The BERGAMONT pedelec would set off suddenly. Risk of falling!
Stop pedalling earlier than you are used to before riding a turn or bend. Other-
wise there may be too much propulsion and your cornering speed may be too
high. Reduce the pedal force deliberately, before you start changing the gear.
Do not give in to the temptation to always ride in a high gear, due to the strong
motor. Shift gears frequently in the same way that you are used to doing with
a conventional BERGAMONT bike so as to make your own contribution to your
forward progress as efficient as possible. Your cadence should always be in a
smooth flow. In other words, you should pedal at more than 60 crank rotations
per minute.
Change down the gears before stopping.
RIDING A BERGAMONT PEDELEC
Your BERGAMONT pedelec (a+b) is designed to be used like a conventional
BERGAMONT bike. The unique riding experience, however, starts when you ac-
tuate the drive system (c). At that moment the assistance generated by the 250
W motor increases with its high torque the stronger you pedal.
Set off for your first ride by selecting the lowest drive support (d). Gradually
get used to the additional propulsion. Slowly approach the potential of your
BERGAMONT pedelec in an area free of traffic.
Practise typical riding situations such as starting off and braking, tight cor-
ners and riding on narrow cycle paths and lanes. This is where a BERGAMONT
pedelec clearly differs from a conventional BERGAMONT bike.
DANGER!
H
Pull the brake lever of the rear wheel brake and stop pedalling. The pedelec
stops. Emergency stop! The shortest possible stopping distance is achieved
by braking with both brakes simultaneously and gradually (see chapter
“Brakes”).
DANGER!
H
Be aware that the brakes of your BERGAMONT pedelec are always more ef-
fective than the drive. If you face any problems with your drive (e.g. because
it pushes you forward in front of a bend), slow down your BERGAMONT pedelec
carefully.
