9 7 1.5 Mode of operation of the Continental ebike System The Continental ebike System provides support while you ride the ebike. The motor adjusts itself to the rider s level of exertion. The more powerfully you pedal, the stronger the support from the motor. This correlation is true regardless of the support level. At a speed of 25 km/h, the motor support turns off. As soon as the speed falls under 25 km/h, the Continental ebike System will begin to support you again as you pedal. The selected support level (see Chapter Using the operating panel on page 27) has an effect on the speed, range and wear exerted on the CeBS. The most efficient way of riding is a pedal frequency of approximately 80 revolutions per minute. The motor is most effective when the revolution speed is approximately this value. 1.6 Range The range you can achieve with your Continental ebike System primarily depends on the following factors: Rider exertion Battery s age and state of repair Support level Type and characteristics of the route Gear-shifting behavior Headwind Type of tires Surrounding temperature Amount of air in the tires Total weight (ebike + rider + luggage) These factors lead to a very broad spectrum of ranges which can be achieved with the Continental ebike System. Depending on the model, ranges of 180 km are possible. This value represent an upper limit and can only be achieved under optimum conditions. During everyday use of your ebike, the aforementioned factors from rider exertion to total weight of the ebike can reduce the range.
