Operation

Starting Operation
Prerequisites
The eBike system can only be activated when the following requirements are met:
– A sufficiently charged battery is inserted (see battery operating instructions).
– The speed sensor is connected properly (see drive unit operating instructions).
Switching the eBike system on/off
The following options are available for switching on the eBike system:
– Press the on/off button (2) of the on-board computer with the eBike battery inserted.
– Press the on/off button of the eBike battery (see battery operating instructions).
The drive is activated as soon as you start pedalling (except if you are using the push-assistance function or if the assistance level is set to OFF). The motor output depends on
the settings of the assistance level on the on-board computer.
As soon as you stop pedalling when in normal operation, or as soon as you have reached a speed of 25 km/h, the eBike drive switches off the assistance. The drive is automatically reactivated as soon you start pedalling again and the speed is below 25 km/h.
The following options are available for switching off the eBike system:
– Press the on/off button (2) of the on-board computer.
– Switch off the eBike battery using its on/off button (bicycle manufacturer-specific solutions are possible when there is no access to the battery on/off button; see the bicycle manufacturer operating instructions).
The system shuts down after being switched off. This takes approximately 3 seconds. It cannot be switched back on until shutdown has been completed.
If the eBike is not moved for approx. 10 min and no button is pressed on the on-board computer, the eBike system switches off automatically in order to save energy.
Note: Always switch off the eBike system when you park the eBike.
Note: If the battery of the SmartphoneHub is empty, you can still switch on your eBike using the eBike battery. The SmartphoneHub battery begins charging automatically once the Bike battery is switched on. Alternatively, the battery of the SmartphoneHub can be charged via the USB port.
Linking the SmartphoneHub with a smartphone
You can expand the indicators and functions of the SmartphoneHub using the COBI.Bike smartphone app. This app
can be downloaded free of charge from the App Store (for Apple iPhones) or from the Google Play store (for Android devices).
To connect your SmartphoneHub with the Smartphone, open the COBI.Bike app on your smartphone and follow the instructions in the app.

Inserting a smartphone into the universal holder
(see figures A and B)
A universal holder (16) is supplied for attaching a smartphone. Specific holders for iPhones can be purchased from the range of accessories. No separate power supply is necessary for an iPhone holder.
For the universal holder, the power (5 V/1 A, max. 1.5 A) is supplied using a separate USB cable (included with delivery) via the micro‑A/B USB port of the SmartphoneHub.
The universal mount (16) can only take smartphones (including cover) with a thickness of up to 8.3 mm and a width between 58.6 mm and 78.1 mm.

Software update
If a software update is available for the SmartphoneHub, an indicator is shown in the smartphone app. Follow the instructions in the app to perform the update.
Recovering the SmartphoneHub
A recovery operation should be carried out on the SmartphoneHub if it is no longer functioning correctly. To do this, open the app on your smartphone and follow the instructions.
Power supply for the SmartphoneHub
The SmartphoneHub has an internal lithium-ion polymer battery (nominal/minimum 300 mAh, 3.7 V) that cannot be removed.
The SmartphoneHub can be switched on via its on/off button (2) or via the on/off button of the eBike battery. If the SmartphoneHub cannot be switched on, it must be charged via a USB cable for at least 30 minutes.
If you do not use your SmartphoneHub, recharge the SmartphoneHub every three months. You can charge the SmartphoneHub battery via its USB port with any power
adaptor, smartphone charger, etc.
Switching the push assistance on/off
The push assistance aids you when pushing your eBike. The speed in this function depends on the selected gear and can reach a maximum of 6 km/h. The lower the selected gear, the lower the speed of the push assistance function (at full power).
The push assistance function must only be used when pushing the eBike. There is a risk of injury if the wheels of the eBike are not in contact with the ground while using
the push assistance.
To activate the push assistance, briefly press the WALK button on your operating unit. Once it is activated, press and hold the + button within three seconds. The eBike drive is
now switched on.
Note: The push assistance cannot be activated at assistance level OFF.
The push assistance is switched off as soon as one of the following occurs:
– You release the + button;
– The wheels of the eBike are locked (e.g. by applying the brakes or hitting an obstacle);
– The speed exceeds 6 km/h.
The push assistance function is subject to local regulations; the way it works may therefore differ from the description above, or the function may even be deactivated completely.
Setting the assistance level
On the operating unit (15), you can set the level of assistance you want the eBike drive to provide you with while pedalling. The assistance level can be changed at any time,
even while cycling.
Note: In some models, the assistance level may be preset and cannot be changed. There may also be fewer assistance levels available than stated here.
The following assistance levels are available as a maximum:
– OFF: Motor assistance is switched off. The eBike can just be moved by pedalling, as with a normal bicycle. The push assistance cannot be activated at this assistance level.
– ECO: Effective assistance with maximum efficiency, for maximum range
– TOUR: Steady assistance, long range for touring
– SPORT/eMTB:
SPORT: Powerful assistance, for mountain biking and cycling in urban traffic
eMTB: Optimum assistance whatever the terrain, rapid acceleration when starting from a standstill, improved dynamics and top performance (eMTB only available in combination with the drive units BDU250P CX, BDU365,  BDU450 CX and BDU480 CX. A software update may be required.)
– TURBO: Maximum assistance even at high pedalling speeds, for sport cycling
To increase the assistance level, press the + (14) button on the operating unit repeatedly until the desired assistance level appears on the display. To decrease the assistance level, press the – (11) button.
Switching bicycle lights on/off
On the model in which the lighting is powered by the eBike system, the front and rear lights can be switched on and off at the same time by pressing and holding the   button (14) on the operating unit.
If the light is switched on, a symbol is shown on the display or in the app.
