R S bikespeed- eal peed Instructions for installation and description of the functions for Brose Drive-T, Drive-S, Drive-S Mag and Specialized custom RX 2.1 (Turbo-Levo) mid-motor design from year 2015 up to 2020 with HMI-, CS-, CSI-, Marquardt-Remote/Comfort 4311, Bloks 14d, AtomXDisplay or the Turbo-Levo or Turbo-Connect display date: 11.12.2019 current version of this manual at bikespeed.de page 1 Product description The bikespeed-RS is a simple and compact kit to bypass the speed limit of 25 km/h of Brose pedelec drives. The installation is completely invisible. In contrast to other commercial tuning kits for pedelecs the bikespeed-RS displays the "real" speed on the tachometer instead of the half value. The data of the cycled distance, average/maximum speed, calculated range, ... are usable without any limitations. The levels of support as well as any special profile will be certainly maintained. Light activation is also unnecessary and you can use the tuning if you have an additional lighting system powered by the battery. The tuning makes the final speed void, that means the terminal velocity is only limited by the power of the drive and the muscular strength invested. We designed the installation as simple as we could. All the necessary connections are pluggable and consequently they can be removed without any traces. Deactivation of the speed limit at 25 km/h is possible with the help of a key sequence on the actuator (see page 3, paragraph description of the functions). The tuning will adapt to your pedelec when it is activated. During this process the drive, the display and the size of the tires will be recognized automatically. The tuning is thus universally applicable and you don't have to adjust anything. page 2 Description of functions After activating your pedelec the display will show an animation of the battery's capacity. If the capacity runs from empty to full your pedelec will support you with motor power even if you exceed 25 km/h. If the capacity runs from full to empty the support will end at 25 km/h. In order to switch on or off the support above 25 km/h please change the level of support down, up, down and up again. If the procedure was successful you will see the animation of the battery's capacity once more just like when you activate your pedelec and this way you are informed about the current setting. Here is an example beginning on the` Sport` level: Pushbutton down (new level:`Tour`) Pushbutton up (new level:`Sport`) Pushbutton down (new level'Tour`) Pushbutton up (new level:`Sport`) If you have a bikespeed-RSc you use the combination you chose beforehand. Please enter the combination quickly without a pause of 3 seconds beetwen two keys. Repeat the procedure if necessary in order to obtain the desired setting. Hint: A switched off bikespeed-RS can not be switched on with the combination for service-mode (see on page 5)! page 3 Description of the custom-variant (bikespeedRSc) After many requests of our customers we offer a new feature of the bikespeed-RS additionally. The individual customer configuration gives you the opportunity with you selectable personal setting to protect your tuning for discovering. With your individual key combination you can decide if the tuning should be displayed its status with an animation above the battery indicator or not. The tuning can be switched on/off at anytime and you can control the behavior (tuning on/off) after on switching your bike. The configuration options can be found in the shop on our website. There all possibilities are described with many tips and videos. If you are interested to upgrade your standard bikespeed RS on a custom version, you can feel free to contact us. Hint for the AtomX-display With the AtomX-display the animation is shown on the speedometer. The ,,animation" shows a speed increasing from 3 km/h to 7 km/h is shown when the bikespeed-RS is on, or from 7 km/h to 3 km/h when the tuning is switched off. page 4 Hints for the removal of battery or display Please always deactivate your bicycle before removing the battery or display. If battery or display are removed in operating state there could be interferences with your bikespeed-RS and the mileage is no longer correct. Hint for the odometer Please note that after the deinstallation of the bikespeed-RS your odometer may show a lower value under certain circumstances like you're actually traveled with your bike. This behavior is caused by the design and not a fault. Please note this primarily when selling your bike. Important hint when visiting the repair shop or software-updates on your Brose-system If you have in mind to update your pedelec software or you wish to perform the Brose system with a customer service, please ask our bikespeed customer service for compatibility or check on our website www.bikespeed.de, whether the tuning continues to work with a later software or not. page 5 For a software-update to your Brose-system you have to uninstall the bikespeed-RS. Alternatively there is the service mode on the bikespeedRS that needs to be activated at your retailer. Therefore change the level of support 3x down and then 3x up. Please enter the combination quickly without a pause of 3 seconds beetwen two keys. Begin on the highest level. In case of success the entire battery index will blink 3x and meanwhile the software state of the bikespeed-RS will be shown on the speed indicator. Now the tuning is in service mode and maintenance as well as software updating can be executed. If you have a bikespeed-RSc you use the combination you chose beforehand. This state is maintained even after deactivating the system. That is why there will not be an animation of the battery's capacity informing about the state of the tuning. For the deactivation of the service-mode please use the same keycombination as for the activation or the combination you chose for activating and deactivating the tuning. Please keep in mind that in service-mode the support of the drive ends at 25 km/h. Hint: If you are not sure, whether the service-mode is activated, please uninstall the bikespeed-RS before you update! After activating the service mode, we recommend to switch off the bike without moving it again. If a speed is displayed it could change the trip, avg- or max-speed. page 6 Product liability / exclusion of liability We were not able to figure out whether running a pedelec with an installed but deactivated bikespeed-RS is permitted on public roads. That is why we expressly point out that the mere existence of the tuning on your pedelec may be an offence against Road Traffic Regulations or it violates §6 of the obligatory insurance law, driving without insurance. Modified bicycles may only be used on private property. Running a modified pedelec on public roads is expressly prohibited by Road Traffic Regulations! Installing and running a bikespeed-tuning is done in personal responsibility; liabilities for damages or subsequent damages as well as legal consequences for bikespeed are excluded in every case. Please inquire about legal consequences that may result for you from installing and using the tuning before you use it. We expressly point out that using the bikespeed-RS leads to a loss of warranty by the manufacturer. Furthermore there are no claims to product liability for your pedelec/e-bike viable for the manufacturer and bikespeed. bikespeed especially cannot guarantee that brakes, frames, running gears, tires etc. are designed for the use of the tuning-component. Help in case of problems If your bikespeed-RS doesn't work correctly at any given time please check the following steps in order to help yourself. page 7 Should you still have problems please write an email before sending back the bikespeed-RS. Cause - bicyce doesn't start or deactivates itself immediately - no animation visible when starting the bicycle - no support or rather only briefly when starting - no speed-indication (0 km/h) Solution - Please check whether the display and battery are properly engaged in the bracket. - Please check the 5-pole connector from the tuning to the motor and to the display. - Please check if the service-mode is activated as by entering the combination. - Check the 2-pole connector from the tuning to the motor - Please check the 2-pole connector from the tuning to the motor and to the speed-sensor - Check the magnet on the sensor and align it anew - Test the magnet by holding another magnet in front of the sensor for a second and take it away again several times. - support only until up to 25 km/h are reached - miles are missing - bikespeed-RS (c) can not switched on or off - Check if the tuning is activated and servicemode is off. - Keep in mind you have to switch the stages to enter the combination. Please start in a sufficient high or low stage. Continue on next page. page 8 Help in case of problems (continue) In our experience, the cause for problems most often are connectors which are not correctly plugged in. Therefore please always check if they are set correctly and plugged in the correct socket. Please insert the connectors as far as you cannot see the seals any more. If that is not possible please apply some Vaseline onto the seals for greasing. The plugs are coded and only fit in one direction. Please do not use force! page 9 Example installation on a Rotwild C1 with Brose Drive In order to access the connectors for connecting the bikespeed-RS the gravel deflector of your motor has to be dismantled. Therefore your first step is to remove the foot pedal on the opposite side of the chain. Please follow the pictured set of instructions on the next pages. Tools required: - Allen key (Size 8) - Torx (T20) The installation may only be carried out by an expert! 1. Before working on your bicycle switch off the battery completely by pressing the battery key for a long time (see manual) or remove the battery. page 10 2. Remove the fastening screw of the foot pedal on the opposite side of the chain (left) with an Allen key Size 8. The foot pedal will loosen itself on a Rotwild C1. For other models you might need a crank puller. 3. Remove the five screws of the gravel deflector and then remove it. Use a Torx T20 for untightening the screws. page 11 4. Pull the two plugs from the marked connectors and replace them with the two plug-connectors on the bikespeed-RS. Mind the correct coding! The plugs can only be connected in one direction in the correct socket, do not use force! The number of 2-pin connectors varies depending on the equipment on your bike. If you are unsure, please refer to the red arrows on the photo, or follow the cable of the speed sensor on your rear wheel. Furthermore, the number and color of the wires to the connector varies depending on the equipment and year of your bike. A deviation of the wires or colors between your bike and the bikespeed-RS is possible, but does not pose a problem. The bikespeed RS is prepared for all variations and the connectors are coded. page 12 On a Brose Drive-S or Drive-S Mag motor, please use the following connectors: 5. Remove the cable binder and move the original cables you just removed to the gap between motor and frame. Prepare the furnished cable binder for fastening the bikespeed-RS. page 13 6. Fasten the bikespeed-RS at the shown position using the cable binder. Guide the white sockets of the bikespeed-RS to the gap between motor and frame, too. Be careful to guide the cables of the bikespeed-RS below the battery cable. 7. Connect the two removed connectors of the original cables with the white sockets on the bikespeed-RS. The plugs are coded and can only be plugged in the correct direction. Please do not use force! page 14 The plugs need to be plugged in so far that the seal vanished in the socket. (see pictures) 8. Put these two connections in the gap between frame and motor. When laying the cables take care that they cannot be clamped or injured by closing the cover of the gravel deflector. page 15 9. Install the gravel deflector and the pedal in reverse order. When pulling tight the pedal keep to the tightening torques of the manufacturer! Should you not see an animation of the bikespeed-RS when activating your bicycle (see paragraph `description of functions` on page 3) deactivate and reactivate your bicycle by pressing the battery button for a long time (see Brose manual) All statements without guarantee! page 16 Hint for water protection The opening in the housing is by design, so that any water can quickly drain and dry. Of course the electronic is protected with a splash proof sealing. For the succes of drying the opening should be placed downwards. If this is not possible, we recommend additional water protection. (e.g. finger of a one-way-glove) page 17 Hint for disposal Electric and electronic devices that have become waste are called old devices. Owners of such old devices have to bring these to recycling facilities, where these are handled and recorded separately from urban solid waste. Old devices must not end up in the household refuse. In fact they have to be collected in special collecting and recycling systems. Owners of old devices from private households can dispose these at the public waste disposal authorities or bring them to producer or seller related disposal locations. You can find these disposal locations online: https://www.ear-system.de/ear-verzeichnis/sammel-undruecknahmestellen.jsf The labelled symbol showing the ,,crossed out waste container" on electric and electronic equipment indicates that the concerning equipment has to be disposed separately from urban solid waste.
