Before first use
For proper operation, make sure that the eBike system, including the rear wheel, is completely connected and correctly mounted.
Make sure that the eBike is fully charged before the first use, and for this purpose we recommend keeping the system connected to the Active Charger, or to the Energy Hub in the case of the eX1 battery pack, for as long as necessary until charging is complete. For additional information on how to charge your eBike, please refer to the corresponding section of the manual.
In addition, before you start riding, make sure that the Active Charger of your eBike is switched off and, if you are using an eX1 external battery pack, that it is correctly connected to the system. Never use the eBike during the charging process.
Intended use
The intended use of our product is to assist the pedalling of an EPAC (Electronic Power Assisted Cycling) and not for any other eBike application.
Our product is designed according to the requirements established by the regulations for use in EPAC systems and to certain environmental conditions in which this type of system can be used, such as rain, saline areas, mud, etc.
Prohibited use
- It is not permitted to integrate our system into a non-compatible EPAC that has not been certified as such according to EN 15494 or into a bicycle that is not prepared for such use.
- Tampering with the legal parameters (speed or power), repairing the battery or reusing it for any other system or EPAC is a violation of MAHLE regulations.
- Tampering with our components, changing the software and firmware designed and approved by MAHLE, or adding electronics that change the maximum assistance speed is a violation of MAHLE standards.
If the MAHLE standard is impaired by non-compliance with the above, MAHLE assumes no legal liability for personal injury or damage to property.
The MAHLE system reserves the right to include functions that can analyse and record any kind of abnormal behaviour caused by manipulation of the system, such as too high a maximum speed or abnormal data communication. Any such tampering will immediately void all terms of the MAHLE warranty.
Tampering with the legal parameters (speed or power), repairing the battery or reusing it for any other system or EPAC is a violation not only of MAHLE rules but also of current legislation, as is tampering with our elements, changing the software and firmware designed and approved by MAHLE, or adding electronic elements that modify the maximum assistance speed.
It is strictly forbidden to integrate our system on a bicycle, even if it is compatible, that does not have a CE marking.
MAHLE assumes no legal liability for personal injury or damage to property or for any circumstances that may occur on a bicycle that is not CE marked.
