FAQ Pedelec

Why steel frames?

arrow_drop_down
  • A steel bicycle frame offers numerous advantages over aluminum, especially in terms of durability and ride comfort. Steel has higher tensile strength and is less prone to fatigue fractures, meaning a steel frame is generally more durable. Steel also absorbs vibrations better, resulting in a more comfortable ride, especially on uneven roads.
  • In addition, steel is easier to repair if damage occurs, further extending the lifespan of the bike.
  • Overall, a steel frame is an excellent choice for cyclists who value robustness and comfort.

Fitting of the display on the Pedelec cockpit

arrow_drop_down
  • Strong fluctuations in humidity and temperature may cause the display on the Pedelec cockpit to temporarily fog up
  • Normally, the fogging should disappear after some time in warmer environments or under constant ambient conditions

My bike cannot be switched on – neither with the power button on the cockpit nor with the button on the battery

arrow_drop_down
  • You probably have a bike with a Phylion battery and it is in “Power Off Mode”
  • In this case, simply connect the charger and the battery will turn on again

A trailer attached to the back of a bike scrapes the ground when it encounters large bumps – what can I do?

arrow_drop_down
  • For Metz mobility bicycles, only use trailers that are compatible with 20" wheels

Bluetooth device is not displayed in the Bluetooth / Scan menu

arrow_drop_down
  • Turn on Bluetooth first (check the box “Bluetooth” / “On” in the menu)
  • Activate the “Bluetooth” / “Reset” menu
  • Check if the Bluetooth device is compatible with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)
  • Check whether the battery of the heart rate sensor used is sufficiently charged

Despite the correct connection of my heart rate sensor via Bluetooth, my heart rate is not displayed

arrow_drop_down
  • If necessary, moisten the contact surfaces of the pulse sensor used

The warning pulse has been reached or exceeded, but the cockpit does not beep

arrow_drop_down
  • The acoustic warning pulse signal only sounds in “HEART mode”

Energy display does not seem to be realistic

arrow_drop_down
  • Only the physical energy is displayed (mechanical work performed on the bicycle)
  • The realistic energy consumption is many times (approximately a factor of 3 to 5) higher than the physical one. Our bike doesn't indicate this.

Important data is not displayed in the cockpit info line when I press button 4

arrow_drop_down
  • Check whether the desired display value is activated in the “Cockpit” / “Info line” menu (a green check mark must be activated and displayed behind the desired value)

The cockpit display is too bright or too dark

arrow_drop_down
  • Check which setting is active in the “Cockpit” / “Brightness” menu (“Auto” is recommended)

Every time you press a button the cockpit beeps and that is annoying

arrow_drop_down
  • Check which setting is activated in the "Cockpit" / "Signal" menu (to deactivate the beep, the green check mark must not be visible and must be switched off)

The speed display is probably faulty

arrow_drop_down
  • In the “System” / “Wheel circumference” menu, check whether the wheel circumference is set correctly (the factory default is 1580mm)

After pressing button 2 for a longer period, the push assist cannot be activated

arrow_drop_down
  • On the “E-PULSR” model, the push assist function can only be activated via the “Push assist” menu

How can I prevent the cockpit and lights from going out when driving at night and when the battery is empty?

arrow_drop_down
  • Activate the "System" / "Light reserve" menu (green check mark must be visible; the light and the cockpit will remain active for about 1 hour after this time)
  • Note: This menu is not available on the E-PULSR, but the function is always active so that when the battery runs low, the automatic switching, the light and the cockpit remain active for about 30 minutes (safety!)

The bicycle support switches off at relatively low speeds (e.g. < 25km/h)

arrow_drop_down
  • In the menu “System” / “Max. Speed” the value “Auto” should be set to get the max. permissible speed with support

The bike does not support, the battery indicator on the cockpit is not visible and the light is off

arrow_drop_down
  • Turn off the cockpit and wait until the cockpit goes off; then wait until the battery LEDs go out and turn the cockpit back on

The bike provides little or no support after switching on and starting

arrow_drop_down
  • The pedals were probably loaded when switching on; therefore, switch off the cockpit and wait until the cockpit goes off; then wait until the battery LEDs go out and switch the cockpit back on.

All distances and speeds are displayed in miles (e.g. “miles”, “mph”)

arrow_drop_down
  • In the menu “Cockpit” / “Unit” set the value to km

The cockpit does not turn off immediately after switching off, but it takes about 5s

arrow_drop_down
  • This is a safety feature and cannot be deactivated (“Coming Home Function”). If you accidentally press the power button in the dark and the cockpit and lights go out immediately, this could cause an accident – ​​so you have about 5 seconds to turn the cockpit back on immediately.

The bike suddenly supports a little less “snappy”

arrow_drop_down
  • Check the settings in the “System” / “Driving profile” menu; the factory default setting is
    “dynamic” (maximum liveliness), but can also be set back to “regular” (medium liveliness) or “relax” (minimal liveliness)

What tightening torques must be observed for attaching the rear axle to the frame?

arrow_drop_down
  • For all Enviolo rear hubs we use, the manufacturer specifies 30 – 40Nm
  • For the Shimano rear wheel hub we use, the manufacturer specifies 30 – 45Nm
