General riding notes

Functionality of the drive system HPR60
The HPR60 drive system supports you when riding up to a speed limit permitted by law which may vary depending on your country. The precondition for Drive Unit assistance is that the rider pedals. At speeds above the permitted speed limit, the drive system turns off the assistance until the speed is back within the permitted range.

The assistance provided by the drive system depends firstly on the selected assistance mode and secondly on the force exerted by the rider on the pedals. The higher the force applied to the pedals the greater the Drive Unit assistance.

You can also ride the e-bike without Drive Unit assistance, e.g. when the drive system is switched off or the Battery is empty

Gear shift
The same specifications and recommendations apply for shifting gears on an e-bike as for shifting gears on a bicycle without Drive Unit assistance.

Riding range
The possible range with one Battery charge is influenced by various factors, for example:

• Weight of e-bike, rider and baggage
• Selected assist mode
• Speed
• Route profile
• Selected gear
• Age and state of charge of the Battery
• Tire pressure
• Wind
• Outside temperature

The range of the e-bike can be extended with the optional Range Extender.

Mounting position Speedsensor

The speed of the e-bike is measured with support of a magnet (item 2 in Fig. 3) which triggers pulses at the speed sensor (item 1 in Fig. 3). The Speedsensor and magnet are mounted at manufacturer with a distance between 1 mm and 8 mm (see Fig. 3) in the area of the rear wheel.

NOTE

• Check the correct distance between Speedsensor and magnet if the speed Display shows incorrect values or fails.
• When performing installation work on the rear wheel, make sure that you do not damage the sensor or the sensor bracket. All work such as repair, assembly, service and maintenance carried out exclusively by a bicycle dealer authorized by TQ.
• Make sure that the Speedsensor and magnet are free of dirt to avoid signal interference.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

• Observe the permissible operating temperature (-5 °C to +40 °C / 23 °F to 104 °F) and storage temperature (0 °C to +40 °C / 32 °F to 104 °F) during transport and storage.
• Observe the country-specific regulations for the transport of e-bikes and batteries.
• Store the motor in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight.

WARNING
Fire or electric shock hazard due to damaged Battery or Range Extender and unintentional start-up of the HPR60 drive system
The rechargeable batteries can be damaged by shocks or impacts during transport. Furthermore, the HPR60 drive system can be started up unintentionally.

• Take the necessary precautions to prevent the batteries from being damaged or the drive system from starting up.
