General FAQ´S
1. What should I do in case of malfunction?
A malfunction will appear as an error or warning on the Head Unit. Open MAHLE’s My Smartbike App to check the code number that identifies the malfunction and share it with an authorized Dealer or Customer Service rep.
2. Why is the Head Unit flashing when the battery is close to being drained?
The Head Unit LED bar will light up in the color of the engaged assist level and show the actual state of your battery charge. When the battery charge goes below 10%, the Head Unit LED bar starts flashing to warn you. When the charge goes below 5%, the flashing goes faster to warn about an eventual ordered shutdown of the system at any moment.
3. My display or Head Unit Control shows an error. What should I do?
A malfunction will appear as an error or warning on the Head Unit. Open MAHLE’s My Smartbike App to check the code number that identifies the malfunction and share it with an authorized Dealer or Customer Service rep.
4. Is it possible to use third-party Range Extenders?
NO. The Range Extender is a device that establishes a digital communication with the batteries. If you do use equipment that is NOT a MAHLE original, you run the risk of destroying components and voiding the warranty terms.
5. What is the consequences of tampering with the ebike system?
Tampering will cause a direct security and safety issue that will affect the normal operation mode, leading to a high risk of suffering personal injuries and voiding the normal warranty terms. Only use MAHLE original components to prevent this from happening.

4. Is It possible to upgrade the eBike from the iX2 to iX3 battery?
Check with your dealer. Changing batteries will change your eBike’s specifications. The iX2 and the iX3 have different sizes but share the same fitting points. Any battery replacing also requires the activation of the new battery by the dealer.
5. What is the range with the iX2 and iX3 batteries?
Range depends on your weight and cargo carried, terrain elevation, wheel size, assist used, motor setup defined, speed and type of battery installed.
