Notes for the user
Before your first ride
Starting up fort he first time
A number of steps need to be taken first
before you can put your pedelec/e-bike with
the GO SwissDrive system into operation.
1. Fully charge the battery of your drive
system as described in the section "Akku und
Laden".
2. Make sure that you are familiar with the
functions of the GO SwissDrive system.
Picture 3: Display and remote
The following is especially important:
It is absolutely essential that you are familiar
with the functions of the control element as
explained in the section "Notes for the user"
before your first ride with the system
switched on.
It is essential that you are familiar with the
setting of the support levels without needing
to take your hand from the handlebars or to
look at the display. Thanks to the "All under
control" technology and this practice you can
keep your attention fully devoted to the road
traffic while you are riding.
3. Make sure to become familiar with the
properties and special form of travel ahead of
time and off public roads. Always bear in mind
that in particular the acceleration and the
greater average speed will be unaccustomed
for both you and other road users.
Caution! The bolts of the rear
axle with the GO S
WISS
D
RIVE
hub motor
must be assembled with a torque support.
The bolts must be tightened with a torque
wrench to 40 Nm.
Note: Also bear in mind that the weight of
your pedelec/e-bike or s-pedelec is greater
than what you have been used to with
conventional bicycles, that the centre of
gravity can be higher and that manoeuvring
can be more difficult under certain
circumstances.
Setting the control element
Once you have found a good seat position,
adjust the control element before the first
ride so that you can reach it easily and read all
the functions. Make yourself familiar with the
buttons and the display.
Riding information
Your GO SwissDrive system supports your
effort at the pedals to varying degrees. You
can select this at the control element. If you
do not turn the pedals then you get no drive
assistance. At 25 km/h / 18 mph (s-pedelec 45
km/h / 32 mph) the drive assistance is
switched off. This is a legal requirement.
If you are riding downhill and want to reduce
speed, then you can profit from the fact that
the GO SwissDrive system has two levels in
recuperation mode. This involves a system
that feeds the braking energy of the motor
back into the battery. Note that this system
cannot replace both brakes! For that reason
always use both brakes to slow down if the
traffic situation or the section of road require
