How do the recuperation mode and the cruise control function work?

Cruise control: Automatically maintaining the speed when riding downhill

In its role as a downhill assistant, the cruise control function supplements the previous regenerative braking and is active from Stromer firmware version 4.4.3.3. The cruise control automatically adapts the motor resistance to maintain the speed that was driven when the cruise control was activated (pressing and holding the minus button). The cruise control speed can be adjusted up or down in predefined speed steps by pressing the plus or minus button.

In Menu/Bike/Recup Mode, settings can be changed for regenerative braking. Here you can choose between cruise control (default function) or the previous regenerative braking. The speed steps (default: 5 km/h) and the pedal force for automatic deactivation of the motor brake can also be set here.

Recup Mode: Stromer e-bike regenerative braking

Using the basic Recup Mode regenerative braking assistance:

  • For this, press and hold the minus control button for 2 seconds.

  • Briefly press the plus or minus button again to adapt the braking power.

  • To end regenerative braking, press and hold the plus or minus button again for 2 seconds.

  • Regenerative braking is also terminated automatically if the speed falls below a specified minimum and you start pedaling.

The current strength for regenerative braking is a maximum of 15 amps. To protect the battery, regenerative braking is reduced as battery charge increases. This means that when the battery is almost fully charged, regenerative braking is barely or no longer noticeable.
